Possibly more important:
Make sure the will is written, etc., before the dementia is diagnosed.
We had a friend who dithered with changes he wanted to make in his will, and he knew that his end of sanity was approaching. But, he was talking to people who weren't there at his lawyers' office that final trip, and the ethical lawyer said he was too far gone to approve the latest will. And so it went.

The team still exists but needs a better visual

East Tennessee might welcome the addition of counties from southwest Virginia who no longer feel a part of Virginia.

How about teaching the golden rule in schools?
Then extrapolate it to sentencing, and do unto her as she did to him. Put the children in an orphanage; at least some of them provide moral compasses.

Smokey XII is a rescue bluetick coon hound
Posted by real turf fan on 3/26/26 at 12:47 pm
Smokey XI after two years as Tennessee's mascot proved to be too shy to handle noise and crowds.
Neyland, now renamed Smokey XII was found through the blue tick houne rescue group.
Will debut at the upcoming Orange and White game
And for more pictures

Two times I had men who were less than honest in their dealings with me.
Both times, about two years after those dealings, I learned that both had died painful deaths from colon cancer.
They didn't know each other; they weren't in the same line of business nor were they in the same state.
Colon cancer found each of them.

I feel very sorry for people who are flying to visit ill and dying relatives. Been there, done that on a series of Friday afternoons.
Spring break flying is a whole 'nother thing. Likewise going gambling, going to waste money in resorts, a whole lot of flying just to increase the charges on their credit cards.
Not that I have respect for every TSA agent I've ever encountered.
It's a mess that has no simple solution because the bad people are out there and one shoe bomber got caught.....by other passengers.

If someone had put her up to it, surely they would have made plans not to have questionably legal drugs involved.
She paid the dollar for bail, but she also paid two thousand dollars for bail for two drug charges.

This is miraculous, sure they were sitting in the small jump seats right the cabin door which is only separated from the pilots cabin by the bathroom.
The Daily Mail had an interview with the daughter of that flight attendant and she said her Mother is doing fine with only a broken leg that has been repaired surgically.

re: Venezuelan migrant arrested after teen is fatally shot near Loyola Chicago Campus

That's not many blocks from where I lived the summer I worked in Chicago for Amoco International.
There were a couple more murders there two or three years ago.
I never felt danger that summer and it makes me sad to read about these deaths.

It's not very good bacon, but it suffices.
Now for the EU funds to try to take fingerprints off thin sliced bacon. Sounds like a major funding opportunity.
