Sometimes life gives you crap days and good days,

Hey, so everyone knows Joseph kony right?
Man, kidnapping 30,000 children? Holy crap! He needs to be stopped.
Roo supports the effort to expose him, find him and bring him to justice!

He's doing OK Michelle. I did not know much about it until the fateful trip. I found a great place for him that is very homelike and he has taken over the duties of taking care of the birds and the neighbor's cat. My mom never wanted pets and he is a lifelong animal lover. That part of him remains. Horrible disease though.

Castle, sorry about your dad but I'm glad he's someplace where he can be safe and cared for, but also feel valued and that he still has a purpose. Dementia is a mean, mean disease.

castle, you are very fortunate to have a good place for your dad to live. I'm really glad for you both.
Unfortunately, that's not the norm. There are far too few memory care facilities and way too many people with dementia/alzheimers without a safe place to live. And not just safe, but where they are still treated like human beings and the staff is well-trained to deal with their behaviors. I deal with this almost daily and it breaks my heart for them, and for their families (if they have any or have anyone willing to be involved).
Anyway, on to Friday everyone....

Hi Joe, just a line to say that when my playing gets fustrating trying to emulate other great players while not having loads of hours of technique to fall back on...I just put on some joe backing tracks and im totally in the zone playing along again. theres only one other player that can do that to me and that's David Gilmour. I heard a track on the new pickin chickin 3 album and was very impressed with Sammys vocal...took me back to 5150 days...........I also decided to sell all my pedals and buy all the vox JS sig pedals...I currently have 2 saturators but will get the others within 3 months. The only one that will cost me a bit will be the EH pog. keep shredding!
cheers nodrog5150
