Memory clinic(73 Posts)
Taking Mum to the Memory Clinic on Friday then will have to go and be all happy for DD's birthday in the afternoon.
I think the chances of her not having Dementia are pretty slim. Earlier she seemed very lucid but then rang here, asked to speak to DD to ask her if she'd given her a cheque for Christmas. Then got confused when I said it hadn't been cashed as there was another cheque on her last statement for the same amount. She knew she was going to give DD some money on Friday but couldn't get her head round the fact she could just write another cheque rather than getting the Christmas one back. I rang back about somethng and she's already forgotten about the Christmas cheque.And I need her NI number for the Attendence Allowance form, not much chance of that one !
She hit the roof when the letter came through from the Memory Clinic but my Brother and the Tracker Nurse handled her much better than me with the prove there's no problem approach. However at the end of the Tracker Nurse appt she asked quietly 'so what happens if I do have Dementia?'
The irony is she then seemed to forget about the appointment until I reminded her yesterday! We're calling it 'The Assessment', not sure if she does know what she's being assessed for. I'll be very glad when it is Saturday and it's all over.
That sounds great and very productive! Print a copy of email showing it was sent if that makes sense?
You're doing an amazing job holding it all together - and absolutely right to do what you need do your whole family including yourself - going back to being a Daughter not a Carer is really important and helped my Mum (an me!) no end.
Have a lovely relaxed weekend
I've had a standard auto response for the email but will print it off, good idea. I'm going to get a diary just for Mum stuff and put bits in there.
It's very encouraging that you have been able to go back to being a daughter, gives me hope. Reckon I'm 4-6 weeks away from that but can hold it together till then.
Just had a lovely couple of hours with Brunch, the papers and a cuppa in a care by the sea on this very rainy day, feel human again.
Sounds blissful :-) It DOES come back - the hard bit comes first, but hol on to the thought of easier times to come!
Alongside the diary may I suggest you purchase a radio controlled clock which shows the date, day (as a name e.g. Monday) and time so that she can look at the right day in the diary. We got one for my MiL from Amazon.
Great idea about the clock, just ordered, thank you. It's good to hear it does come back, I can sort of see the light at the end of the tunnel now. We're going away over Easter to see family in Germany (mum's estranged sister ironically ) so at least I know there's something to look forward to. Plus I have booked tickets to Chelsea Flower Show this year having wanted to go for many many years. Plus it won't be long till the spring bulbs are up which always makes things feel better, our first Primrose is out
Thanks again for all the support, it is invaluable.
Todays issue of the day was the surgery rang to say I shouldn't have been told to take her in to be measured. The pharmacy dies it but first thing. Rang pharmacy who said I can do it as soon as she gets up in the morning a d doesn't she usually go to the other pharmacy - yes but surgery told me to ring you. Rang surgery to ask if they could issue prescription for me to pick up tomorrow am after I have measured legs.
Phone went again, Age Concern ' your mother asked me not to rung you but I thought I should . The power has gone off to her alarm and the battery is low and she won't plug it in' . I said not to worry, we're doing POA and she said 'Thank God,' so clear,y had had a right to do. asked if she was still paying as said she isn't, they didn't know but don't cut them off if they don't pay.
Rang Mum, no answer. Went to Wilko's to buy files etc we'd agreed I'd get so could go round. Looked at step and thought what on earth is all the dirt then realised new handrails are up. Solves mystery of why she had written down Monday 12pm. Another job, they need painting. Mum let me in and I could see straight away she'd wet herself. She said she got wet whilst supervising workman. With the rail. She asked me to lock already locked back door. Not got dressed this morning again.
Postman bought bill from BT and appointment but she had no idea what it was and that they keep ringing her, is 'I'll think about it' the same as 'yes go agead' . Reassured her it's not a d rang to sort . It's just the Upgrade to Infinity no extra cost so OK. Sorted alarm. Was totally unplugged. Just having cuppa then need to go in 5 mins and get DD who is gutted as cracked her iPad screen this morning having saved really hard.
Was sobbing on landing whilst hoovering, again, very unlike me, am starting to worry myself a bit. Dad sent me some lovely flowers which nearly made me cry all over again, but they are lovely. On the plus side I've not been very hungry and may finally lose a pound or two. Am clinging onto the fact it will all get better soon and I'm going away for Easter. Bit concerned GP might not actually sign a POA at the moment. Sorry to whinge.
Wynken - what type of PoA are you doing? Legal/financial affairs, or the care one? Sorry as I've skimmed thread, so forgive me if you've already answered this, but why does GP need to sign POA? We did the legal/financial one (it's signed etc, but haven't yet registered it, though may need to sooner than I'd thought) without need for GP.
Dementia is horrible, horrible, horrible. My mother texted me to say she had a call from the people that she lets our gite in France with, about me taking over (I'd emailed them and sent my mother a letter to sign to say I will be dealing with it) - but she couldn't remember what they'd said or what she'd told them
We need both I guess but it's the financial one that is the most urgent. I still haven't read all the stuff on it, I thought a GP had to sign it ? Really must crack on with reading it.
I'm really sorry about your Mum FL. That's exactly what would happen with my Mum except she can't text. It is a bastard disease to be sure, hard to imagine until you we soone in the throes of it
The worst part for me is that I just feel like I need a mum still - I need someone to rely on! I'm 30, only child and my dad died when I was seventeen. Split up from 'D'H last year. It would just be nice to have my mum as she was.
GP doesn't need to sign POA for financial affairs - basically you need someone to act as attorney (which I assume would be you?), a 'replacement attorney' if desired (i.e. who replaces you if you were to get run over by lorry) and an independent witness to sign it who has known your mum for over two years (my cousin signed ours). If you don't have a replacement attorney, then I think you need two witnesses.
Oh Freckled, I am so sorry, that must be very difficult for you. It's so hard to accept they've changed. Have you got good friends around you ? I know they are in no way a replacement for your Mum.
I am gong to be joint attorney with my brother. My friend can witness, DH can be a person to be notified, GP can be a certificate provider. We're out of people then as she has no friends and I estranged from her sister nd family. I'll read it all tomorrow, hopefully it will all make sense. I think the GP will have to sign to register it and we really need to crack on with that.
Ah, ok, I understand now! GP can be certificate provider.
I watched my grandmother (mum's mum) go through vascular dementia - she died year before last at 96. But she was a good 12 years older than my mother is when she started to go downhill (mid-to-late-80s). It just sucks that my mother has dementia at 73. And she really has gone downhill over the last year too. Ugh.
Hugs (())
Glad you understand it, maybe I will too by end of tomorrow.
My Mum is a similar age, 74. Remembered she mentioned that her Grandfather has some kind of Dementia. My Aunt died age 66 but definitely had undiagnosed Dementia. She died of Hear Attack so liklihood is Vascular Dementia. My brother said he had a DNA test and Alzheimer's came up, so I'm feeling pretty much screwed on that front.
Guess we'd better try to live outrageously whilst we can then !
Just dropping by - sounds like a continuing challenging time for you both.
Thoughts abs hopes for a restful evening x
Sympathies to all.
My mum has Levy Body Dementia - hopefully the scan will be able to tell what sort your mum has. The interesting part with Levy Body, is that it is found in clusters in some families. There is a sort of sliding scale with Levy Body dementia on one side, Alzheimers in the middle, and Parkinson on the other end. Very often in families with this type of dementia, you often find people with Alzheimers and Parkinson too. New research wants to call it Diabetes III, because there are links between sugar in the diet, heavy potato rich diet, and dementia. My mother also had high blood pressure. With Levy Body, there is also a certain aspect of auditory and visual hallucinations. They tend to like lights a bit dimmed, so as not to see clearly what is "lurking" in the corners. But also some parkinson-like bodily ailments. Problems raising up from sitting, hips being stiff, etc, not walking straight etc.
She had the diagnosis June 2010. By January 2011 she was so ill that I had to take her for sectioning, in order for her to get a 6 week in house geriatric mental health assessment at the local psychiatric hospital. She went straight to a care home after about 8 weeks.
It was a rough ride that started back in 2008 when we got suspicious, and it took two years for us to get doctors to listen and get her for assessment. We dont have POA, she was too advanced for that. But I do have authority on her bank account.
From a practical perspective, like you I have a folder for her. I keep all her receipts and bank-statements there, and a spreadsheet documenting all expenditure.
I think what you are beginning to realize that by the time she has had her assessment, she is already so unwell with it, that you can barely keep up with new developments. It is no longer just being forgetful, it is her view on what is happening, and her ability to cope in her home, incontinence. Not knowing if she has eaten or not, losing track of date and time, and waking early like 4 am and wanting to go to the shops, etc. This is the biggest danger if she is living alone at home. You might need to consider sheltered housing sooner than you think...
Hi Wynken. re POA it's true you don't need the GP to sign, but apart from your mother and yourself there has to be a 3rd party who signs (they call it a certificate donor). The office of the public guardian says that can be someone your mum has known for a period of time (I guess that could even mean a trusted neighbour) OR a professional eg GP/ social worker/ solicitor. The form does require quite a bit of preparation and concentration to do it right (I went off to the library and just read and prepared for a good 2 hours) so if you are very stressed (quite understandably given the circumstances) maybe it would be better to just get a solicitor to do the paperwork.
Have just done my Dad's tax returns, told him the sum he needed to pay HMRC and had him screaming at me down the phone he won't pay. A little as if I'd made the whole thing up out of sheer malice. I am just relieved i have POA as my next step is to go to his bank and get them to allow me to sign cheques. Then I need to contact HMRC and explain the situation, and eventually write the cheque. If I didn't have POA none of this would be possible and eventually I'd have to go to the court of protection to get all these situations sorted (much more expensive and time consuming).
Good luck.
Sorry just read your above messages which show in fact you have great grasp of POA! I'm a few hours behind the plot.
These posts show dementia really sucks and some people have a tough hand to play. Thinking of you all. Somehow we'll get through this.
I think what this thread shows is there are a fair few of us dealing with this sodding disease and the very many issues that arise from it. Should we think about starting a Dementia Support thread (is there already one) or is that too depressing ? I know there are other forums but most of us are all in the same boat of juggling children round parents needs.
Quint, I'm sorry what you have been through with your Mum. I remember some of your threads. Think you are right, she is quite unwell. I didn't knowmuch about Levy Body Dementia, interesting stuff. My immediate plan is to get carers reinstated so there's someone in daily, am looking for alternative company for hot meals as she hated the other. Get scans one, see Specialist thn review where we're at. We'll be properly in the system then.
Whataboutbob, next year I would probably try to keep your Dad out of the tax and pay on line. I know as an Attorney you have to keep them as involved as possible and simplify things So they can do it by themselves for as long as possible , but there comes a time when it isn't in his best interest due to the stress and anxiety it causes and you must not feel guilty about just doing it.
Better day in Wynkenland today. Am now in possession of surgical stockings. She was lucid and we had a laugh plus discussed POA. Alarm company rang me re unpaid bill so paid that. Think I scared the living daylights out of my brother with talk of care homes etc. He hasn't seen her for 4 years and it must be incredibly daunting to come back not knowing what to expect. He admitted to DH he's quite nervous about ringing her so emailed to say she is still Mum, just ring her and act normal, send an Ocado delivery as she needs a food shop and buy her an Orchid with a dripper as she's less likely to kill it ! Rang local home to find out fees. Social Worker tomorrow to get Carers reinstated to put on stockings, she'll accept them for doing that.
Social Worker came today, is organising care package . Spoke to her outside and she said she will be transferred from Reablement to Long Term Care team but might be transferred onto Mental Health Team once seen Consultant at the Memory Team. She said it should start getting easier for me once all in place and acknowledged I had a lot on my plate.
Looks like you are getting somewhere, one (or 5 as it may be) steps at the time!
The key is to not say "no" to any help, but cling to it, or simply stall. If they offer A and you dont think she is quite there yet, say "Yes, please, lets have A in 2 months, taking it slow to ensure mum adjusts...."
There is always a lot on the plate for us, the sandwich generation. <sigh>
I am still recovering from Christmas, and feel mentally unable to cope. Having visited mum so much in the care home, and had her home for visits, have been challenging. Not least because of all the questions from DS1 who remembers a loving and caring grandma. And the reluctance from DS2, who my mum does not remember at all, poor wee boy.
The upshot is, I cant bring myself to phone her. She is so far gone that phone conversations are a real struggle. She does not know what the phone is, what she should do with it. WIll chat a bit, and then put the phone down, and I will hear her potter, go to the loo, look in on her doll, which she thinks is alive and that she in fact thinks is my ds2 (which is why she cant acknowledge that my ds2 is actually alive when she sees him).
My point is, be glad and treasure all the lucid moments. When your mum gets to the point where my mum is now, you can look back at them fondly. And take pictures when you and her are together and you do something. If you can, make a point of taking her out for a walk, a coffee, or to the park. Ensure the time you have with her is valuable. Not just chores. The time you have now is your time do enjoy your mum, like you would enjoy a newborn, in a sense. You know this time wont come back, you know it is short lived. The difference is, with a baby or a child you have years and years ahead of you with enjoyment and milestones, but with an elderly parents, they are stolen moments.
To go through this when you are in your thirties (well, I am nearly 41 now) when you have small children to look after is really tough. I am glad you are able to access real help.
Excellent advice from pure there - all good thoughts to you both that it settles down soon. Being on the other side now - with package in place a day centre arranged (albeit for my Nan not Mum, but Mum has physical limitations herself) - it does get easier practically. I'm not sure emotionally it will just now, but my mantra is 'You are doing the best you can, right here, right now'.
Can I join in...
Mum in early stages of dementia. She refuses memory clinic. She couldn't live alone and my Dad acts as her career. POA has just been put in place.
I worry about the future, what if something happens to my dad, how will I cope with full time work and caring for mum if it comes to it. I also miss her. I watched The Notebook last week and howled myself to sleep
Thought to you - that sounds very hard
Thanks Quint, that is excellent advice . I kind of logically know that but it is hard when in the middle of sorting things. It's good to hear SFB saying the practical side gets easier so I can try to deal with the other bit. You're a couple of years younger than me Quint. I just thank my lucky stars that my youngest is 9 now and is wanting to be more independent. This has been going on for a long time now though really, it's just no one faced up to it.
I think Quint if you can't face phoning her then don't. If she doesn't really get the whole phone thing then you're doing it because it feels like what you have to do. But one thing I am learning fast is you have to protect you as it will do no one any good if you go under. Give yourself permission to take a bit of time out until you feel better.
CabbageLeaves, hello and sorry to 'meet' you under these circumstances, it sucks doesn't it. Would your Dad agree to having a Carers Assessment for himself ? You won't need to care for your Mum if anything happens to him, there is support, the trick seems to be accessing it and I think you can kind of get the wheels in motion now. If I were you I'd write a letter to your Mum's GP to voice your concerns. It might not make a difference now but it's something that will be there in the future if needed. SS can arrange carers to come in up to times a day. Is your Dad claiming Attendence Allowance for your Mum and will she accept anyone into the house eg a cleaner ?
SS rang today. They have sorted care package for Mum's stockings to be put on, is 9.30 ok as they rang her and she didn't seem to be sure. I said I'm sure she'll be delighted as doesn't like getting up early. Called Mum, yes that's fine so rang them back to confirm. It's starting next Thursday. Mum rang me to ask why she's having carers when the stockings haven't arrived, the ones sitting on her desk next to her. Yesterday she had a window cleaner turn up that she sorted herself and I think oh she's fine, it's all a big mistake though i know it's not. Then I get pulled up sharply the next day. Guess I am at the denial stage then .
Googled the care agency who are coming and they seem pretty experienced in dementia care. Think the SW got them rather than another more local agency might well be as she was thinking ahead to the MHT involvement that will be coming at some point. I'm hoping that way there will be a reasonable amount of continuity of care. DH knackered next to me as heavy day at work, he took DC's sledging in lunch break and shovelled snow this morning which was a waste of time as another load came ! DD just fallen down the stairs so soaking in the bath. She cooked tea and it looked like a rice bomb had gone off and she left the unused chicken on the side which is in the dog. Well think it was the dog but could have been one of the four cats. Not sure how I ended up with so many animals, that was never quite the plan

Letter: Worthington thanked for hospitality
11410783980011 / 2
2 / 2
Now that I am back in California, I wanted to write with my thanks to the entire community of Worthington for their hospitality in hosting the U.S. Windsurfing Nationals.
The weather contributed challenging conditions --either very windy or light and tactical. The warmth and diversity of Worthington again impressed me with its intelligence and complexity that belies common wisdom about middle America.
The local efforts, particularly those of Bill Keitel and Glenn Kremer, but ultimately of all who supported us, did your City proud. Thank you.

DAILYKENN.com -- The FW de Klerk Foundation asserted last week that black South Africans are far more violent and racist towards their white compatriots than vice versa, according to IOL.com.
The foundation appealed to South Africa's Human Rights Commission to address the crisis.
To support the contention 45 social media postings were noted that incite violence against white South Africans.
The foundation added: "An analysis of Facebook and Twitter messages shows that by far the most virulent and dangerous racism - expressed in the most extreme and violent language - has come from disaffected black South Africans.
"The messages are replete with threats to kill all whites - including children; to rape white women or to expel all whites from South Africa."
It said these "hurtful racist remarks" were posted online after "recent racist remarks made by Penny Sparrow regarding black South Africans at beaches on New Year's Day". Sparrow's comments were followed by others online by economist Chris Hart and radio presenter Gareth Cliff. IOL.com

Prayers for Our Country
Intercession For Our LandDear God, give the leaders of this nation the wisdom and integrity to lead our nation in the best direction, where You are put in Your rightful position - and give each one discernment I pray, when making decisions or drawing up the legislation and laws that they pass - and may the decisions that they reach be godly and wise.
I pray also that You would protect our nation from other peoples that may seek to enter our borders, uninvited and ask that You would be with us and keep our roads, ports, borders and crossings safe and uncompromised.
As the days become increasingly dark in our country I pray that the light of Your love will shine on this land. May peace reign in our nation and protect us from those that would seek our downfall, I pray.
I really thank You that you have placed me in this land and I am grateful that I am a citizen of this nation – but I know that my home is in heaven,
Prayer For The Leaders Of All NationsLord, I come to You today to pray for the nations of the world and their leaders and governors. Whether a nation is governed by a king or queen; a prince or president, a prime minister or some other form of governance, we pray for each one – that they may fulfil Your plans and Your purposes, in whatever they do - in their lands.
We ask Your blessing on those that are seeking to follow Your ways and we pray for Your pity and mercy on those that are deliberately defying You as the Creator God.
Lord we know that You are the One that places rulers in their high positions of honour and You are also the one that removes leaders from their elevated perches – and we pray that in Your grace and mercy You would look down on the nations of the world and intervene with those that are severely oppressing their own people.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and whether at a national level or in local governance, we pray Your blessing on those men and women that are seeking to follow Your way, as they implement their authority – but Lord we also know that the opposite is true and that those who defy the living God will come to no good…
Have pity Lord and convict the leaders of our nations to turn to You - and protect the people that are having to live in nations with a corrupt or evil government - and may the Lord Jesus Himself return very soon to set up His perfect kingdom in this world – when the earth will be filled with a true knowledge of You, in Jesus name we pray,
Prayer For Our Own NationLord we pray for our nation and ask that You would look down on us in pity and mercy. Forgive us for the way that we have turned our backs on You in so many ways and bring us back as a people who seek to follow the ways of justice and peace.
Keep our land free from war and aggressions – from winds and earthquakes – from fear and confusion and from other things that can cause hurt and fear and confusion.. and may we as a nation turn to You and call out to You in the day of trouble.
Be close to all our leaders and governors and give them wisdom and discernment as they rule this nation and I pray that the decisions that they make may be wise – and Lord that our nation would turn to You for Your wisdom and Your strength.
Be with all those that are oppressed and downtrodden and especially those that do not know You as their Saviour – may there be many that come to know You as their saviour in this my country. We pray that the gospel may one day be preached in this land from shore to shore - openly and truthfully, and keep us from compromising Your word of truth. Restore to this nation the joy of Your salvation and bring many to a faith in the Lord Jesus as Saviour we pray – in His name,
Prayer The Freedom In My CountryLoving Father, I thank You that I have been privileged to grow up in this country and although many of our standards are being eroded I thank You that for so long we have enjoyed the liberty and blessings we have received from Your hand in this land.
Thank You for the for my country Lord, and for my family and friends and the freedom that we have enjoyed up to now… Keep Your hand on this my nation and give our leaders wisdom to see Your ways and to look to You for the direction that we, as a nation, need to go. But also Lord help me to hold to the things of this world lightly, knowing that my true citizenship is in heaven.. as part of Your heavenly kingdom.
Provide for those that are in need, feed those that are hungry, comfort those that are sorrowing, heal those that are sick and bring those that do not know You as their Saviour into a close and personal walk with Yourself, I pray – in Jesus name,
Prayer For Revival In Our Land
Loving Lord Jesus, it saddens me to see the way that the gospel of Jesus Christ – is being so compromised in our land. As a nation we seem to have moved so far from the true gospel of grace and our churches and fellowships seem to be embracing many alternative and compromised teachings that are not true to Your word.
Revive this land I pray. Stir up the hearts of those that have come to trust in Jesus Christ but who have been enticed to follow a different gospel or who have chosen to walk the way of compromised or embrace a different type of teaching. Let those that are Your blood-bought children be stirred in their hearts to seek the truth and to draw ever closer to the Lord Jesus – and Lord for those who once trusted You but have now wandered far away -I pray that You will speak to their hearts, revive their spirit and draw them back into close fellowship with Yourself – revive this land, I pray - in Jesus name,

Typically the things I review as a member of the TOS Crew are products - books, curriculum, educational websites, DVDs...you get the idea. Recently, however, I got the opportunity to review something a little bit different. It's this fantastic website called Homeschool Library Builder, and wow, is it ever a book loving homeschooling mama's kind of site!
Homeschool Library Builder's company motto reads: "Fill Your Bookshelves without Emptying Your Wallet". I'm sure you've already deduced that they sell books at good prices. But hold on to your hat, it gets even better!
Homeschool Library Builder is co-owned by two veteran homeschool families that desire to promote Christ-centered education. They work hard to help homeschooling families build their personal libraries, and they provide some excellent deals so as not to break the bank in the process! Selling both new and used books, they are a great resource for curricula, homeschool helps, and literature choices to support unit studies. The books they sell are rated by their condition and are priced accordingly, so you can rest assured that you're getting a fair deal when you buy from them. All the books available are categorized in a variety of ways in order to make finding the book you need a snap.
For example, you can search new arrivals, fiction or non-fiction, activity books, award winners, classic literature, holidays & seasons, inspirational, science, story books, vintage & hard to find, by age, by curriculum or even by geographical location!
Say you use Tapestry of Grace, or Five In A Row, and you need a specific book. Clicking on "Search By Curriculum" takes you to a menu of unit study choices, and from there you click on TOG or FIAR and look through the available books. Isn't that a great idea? In addition to TOG and FIAR, they have books for Beautiful Feet, Sonlight, Ambleside, and Heart of Dakota. One-stop shopping for your unit study and living books needs!
Homeschool Library Builder also has some terrific sales at different times throughout the year, and they make it easy to keep up with their bargains via their monthly newsletter.

And you'll have access to Homeschool Library Builder's Marketplace, where homeschool families who have a small business for the homeschool community can share what they offer at a discount. And one really awesome thing available at Homeschool Library Builder is the "Helping Hand" option. When you make a purchase from the "Helping Hand" category, you support the child they adopted through Compassion International. This is a very giving company with a heart for the homeschool community, and I'm certain you will be blessed when you visit their site.
You can also find more info about homeschooling in general at their website (www.HSLibraryBuilder.com), and during the month of May you can get a free book with a $25 purchase.

The unexpected occurred in 2013 when implementation of the Employer Mandate was delayed due to the inability of the IRS to timely issue the requisite reporting and information forms. Now that those forms have finally been issued, the we can readily appreciate why it took so long.
The forms, while deceptively simply in appearance, are challenging to complete properly. In fact, the IRS is currently drafting FAQs to address numerous outstanding questions.
This is Part 1 in our 3-part discussion of the ACA reporting and disclosure forms. In this discussion, we focus on the basics: identifying the various forms, the reporting entities, and deadlines for filing. In Part 2, we will discuss the differences between the draft and final forms. In Part 3 we will focus on the penalties for failing comply with these filing obligations.
Forms: There are 4 forms: 2 information returns (the 1095 series) and 2 transmittal forms (the 1094 series).
- 1095-B – Health Coverage
- 1094-B – Transmittal of Health Coverage Information Returns
- 1095-C Employer Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage
- 1094-C – Transmittal of Employer Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage Information Returns
Filing Requirements:
The basic requirements for the forms are as follows:

This chart is adapted with permission from a summary prepared by Linda Mendel with Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease.
When Must Forms be Filed: These forms are not required to be filed for 2014, but reporting entities may voluntarily file in preparation for the first required filing which will be respect to 2015. The 2015 forms are due by Feb. 28 (March 31 if e-filing). Form 1095-B or –C must be provided to covered full-time employees by Jan. 31.

...words of concern!
That picture I posted here yesterday unleashed a flood of comments, both on this blog and over on Facebook. One friend told me that I'm loved, even with a cork in my nose. Another friend warned me NOT to make that my Facebook profile pic. Many friends just wrote to wish me well. Thank you!
I seriously considered posting a picture today of Brad Pitt or George Clooney, then asking if I look better now. :) The truth is that the "cork" is out, removed by my Dr. The bleeding hasn't re-occurred. I have been given some medication changes. AND I have made some minor "lifestyle" adjustments to minimize my risk...which primarily means I can't blow my nose. 'Nuff said!
I mentioned to Cathy last night that I was surprised by the outpouring of concern over my situation. When I entitled yesterday's post, "When I Don't Understand", my lack of understanding was not so much about the nosebleed. It was about the timing of it all and the cancellation of my trip to perform a wedding. To be honest, I'm still struggling with that.
I'm still trusting God, too!
Thank you ALL for being so kind. I'm honestly overwhelmed by you!

Not all the activist furor is about Wall Street. The prospect of genetically engineered corn is fueling protests from food-watch groups and regular ol' citizen-eaters alike.
As of last week, more than 260,000 people had signed a new petition protesting Monsanto's first genetically engineered corn for general consumption. (Meaning that such produce is already in processed food, and this new stuff would go right from field to your plate. And it would come from the company with the biggest share of the country's corn market.)
Like the Occupy movement, this issue is bringing groups together to make noise and get recognition. A Reuters story says those pushing major retailers to boycott Monsanto's GE sweet corn include the Center for Environmental Health, the Center for Food Safety, and Food & Water Watch. General Mills and Trader Joe's have reportedly climbed on board.
Again, like the Occupy crowd, opponents to genetically modified food come at the issue from all angles. Some worry that the foods will cause a surge in allergies or other health issues. Others point out that the long-term effects of GMO food are simply not known yet. One of the arguments for the GMO corn is that the engineering can create resistance to drought, or to insects that typically damage or destroy crops. But some of those very bugs are back in the Monsanto cornfields, and experts worry that the process inevitably creates "super bugs" that will require ever stronger pesticides. Still others have ethical and religious concerns about gene splicing, period.
The issue is not as black and white as some of us would like. Andrew Schneider (of the Food Watchdog) pointed out more than two years ago: "The scientists at Japan's National Institute for Agrobiological Sciences have developed a transgenic rice plant that has been genetically engineered to fight allergies to Japanese cedar pollen." Schneider has also noted the difficulty in determining which foods are genetically altered. Labels don't help as a rule.
One more thing is common to Occupy Wall Street and the anti-Monsanto movements. More people will learn about the issues, and demand yet more information. That's good.

Colour-correcting has been a huge trend in 2016. Even better: it's a simple and straightforward technique that, when done right, instantly banishes skin troubles like redness, dullness and dark under-eye circles, leaving you with a flawless and even-toned skin base that's perfect for makeup application. So how did this colour-neutralising craze even begin?
It's always been an untold beauty secret held by professional makeup gurus, but it was bloggers like Deepica Mutyala who brought the flaw-vanishing trick to light. Mutyala had actually demonstrated on her YouTube channel how red and orange lipsticks can double as colour-correcting concealers for dark circles. (Yep, we know… even more reasons to splurge on lippie: two in one!)
She published the video below in January last year and it's already accumulated close to 10 million views. Insanity.
So why do lipsticks work well as colour-correctors?
Well the pigments in lipsticks are as equally heavy as the pigments found in colour-correcting concealers; also, lipsticks have creamy textures and finishes much like concealer products.
In terms of application, it's pretty easy — just dab your peach, orange or red lipstick colour over your under-eye circles with a flat concealer brush (like MAC 195 Concealer Brush, R330) then layer on your foundation and skin-toned concealer as normal.
A few lipsticks to try for colour-correcting…
1 SMASHBOX Be Legendary Lipstick in 'Nude Beach' (for fairer skin).
Peach-coloured lipsticks or concealers work best for light complexions when neutralising dark circles. Anything darker will show through your foundation, which you don't want to happen.
You can buy this lipstick at Red Square for R280.
2 L'ORÉAL Color Riche Lipstick in 'Cliche' (for darker skin).
Orange and red lipsticks are best for medium to dark skin tones. Obviously the richer the skin colour, the richer the colour-correcting shade has to be.
You can buy this lipstick at Clicks for R169,95.

Orangetown cops seek CVS robber who fired handgun
The search is on for a man who fired a gun while holding up a Pearl River drugstore early Monday and fled with cash and smokes, police said.
At 4:38 a.m. Monday, a man walked into the CVS pharmacy at 75 N. Middletown Rd. carrying a handgun and announced he was robbing the 24-hour store, Orangetown police Det. Lt. Jim Brown said in a statement.
The man told CVS employees to take him to the safe, police said. When they told him they couldn't open it, he fired at least one round into the ceiling.
Staff then gave him cigarettes and an undetermined amount of cash from the registers, police said. He then ran from the store in an unknown direction, police said.
The suspect is described as a male, 5-feet-10 and about 190 pounds, and dressed entirely in black.
Rockland County Sheriff's Department detectives assisted at the scene. A call to Orangetown police Monday afternoon was not immediately returned.
Anyone who saw the robbery or has other information about it is asked to call Orangetown police detectives at 845-359-2121.


text: Anyone put any serious thought into these robotic mowers??? I don't even know if they come in commercial models, but it's sure fun to think about. The ones I've seen are battery powered mulch only machines.You bury sensors around the lawn, place the mower on the lawn and let it go. With 3 or 4 machines you could place them in the front yard move on to placing the next 3 then come back just in time to put it into the back. Initial cost of installing the sensors would be high, but who knows. Just a thought on a cold rainy winter day.

At 6-foot-5 and around 270 pounds, Woodstock (Ga.) Etowah offensive tackle Reid Webster is an athletic lineman who has a lot of upside. Throughout the spring, several colleges have begun to recognize that upside and that has earned him three offers already.
"I have an offer from UCF, UAB and Buffalo," Webster said. "UCF offered back in late February and the other two offers came in three weeks ago or so."
Currently, Webster is busy with spring football where he hopes to not only get better with his team but also continue to impress college coaches. Several other schools have shown signs of interest to this point.
Article Continues Below
"Oklahoma State has been talking to me a lot," he said. "Georgia was at school last week and South Carolina, Georgia Tech and NC State. I kind of hope Clemson offers out of all of those. I liked Clemson growing up but if they don't offer it's not a huge deal."
During the spring, Webster has had the chance to visit the campuses of Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, UCF and Clemson. He also plans on returning to UCF this summer.
"I know we're going to UCF as a team and I figured I'll probably do two or three other camps this summer," he said.
Due to his athleticism, Webster also stars on the basketball court but came away from the hardwood weighing only 250 pounds. He has since worked to get his football weight back and now he is focused on preparing for the fall.
"I was playing basketball in the winter but since then I've just been trying to gain weight and get bigger, stronger and faster," he said. "Right now I'm between 270 and 275 pounds the past couple of weeks so I'm happy right there."

More than 20 of the 32 NFL teams were on hand to evaluate 11 ULM Warhawks eager to pursue a dream of becoming a professional football player at the school's annual Pro Day.
The ULM Warhawks that participated in the ULM Pro Day were cornerback Justin Backus(Mesquite, Texas), offensive lineman Rey Baltazar (Marbel Falls, Texas), punter Dayton Balvanz (Eldora, Iowa), running back Tyler Cain (West Monroe), wide receiver Rashon Ceasar (Clinton), safety Stonewall Hunter (Richwood), wide receiver Jared Mapps (Pearland, Texas), linebacker Braxton Moore (Norman, Illinois), tight end Alec Osborne (Geismar), wide receiver Tre' Perrier (Kenner) and offensive lineman Jeff Savage (Smackover, Arkansas).
Local products high school Cain and Hunter were excited about the opportunity to come out on their home turf and perform.
For Cain, who was denied a fifth-year medical grayshirt by the NCAA prior to the 2016 season keeping him on the shelf all year, ULM Pro Day was a day a year in the making where he showed the same determination that he delivered for ULM and West Monroe in high school.
"I am happy with everything that transpired today," Cain said. "I am going to go home and work on the areas that I need to work on to get my opportunity. When I get my opportunity, the world is going to know that I am here."
Cain, who has always been known for his competitive spirit, talked about how great it was to put on the ULM gear again and come out and show what he has to offer.
ULM safety Stonewall Hunter has witnessed the ULM Pro Days since his freshman year at the school.
"It was a pretty good day," Hunter said. "Since my freshman year here at ULM, we have always had Pro Day for the scouts so it was something that I was looking forward to. To be able to come out on my home turf and…

Press Release 2014-12-31:
In 2015 the Swedish/English blogger and shaman Daniel Wilby will try legal drugs to investigate their therapeutic and spiritual potential.
– It is my hope to be able to offer legal psychedelic therapy and healing in the near future, he explains.
Nine years ago he himself recovered from long-term alcohol abuse and a deep depression when he came in contact with the illegal psychedelic substance LSD. Since then he has worked intensely to learn how to use psychedelics for healing and growing, both for himself and with others.
– I see the criminalization of psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms as a violation of every person's inherent right to heal and practice their spiritual beliefs. For me, these substances saved my life and I can never be grateful enough for the help I received through them.
Daniel works in the shamanic tradition, but has also recently begun studying social work at the university of Malmö with the hope of being able to work with legal psychedelic therapy in the future.
– At first I imagined that I would have to open a center abroad to bring clients to, but this fall we had a big discussion in Sweden about the harmful yet legal Spice blends. That made me think of all these substances that are not yet classified as illegal. I want to examine them to see if there are some that are good to work with in the same manner as I have previously worked with LSD and mushrooms.
The Internet-based smartshop Azarius in Holland sponsors Daniel with products from their selection, and he will continuously report his and others' experiences on his blog.
– Two things have been particularly important when we have selected which substances to try. The first is that the substance must be safe. There cannot be the slightest risk for my health. The second is that the substance must be legal in Sweden.
Psychedelic plants have in shamanic traditions been used for many thousands of years to heal and help people grow, and to get in contact with the spirit world. During a short period leading up to the 1960s, they were used extensively in Western therapeutic contexts and generally showed great results, but all such research was suppressed when the war on drugs began.
– The reason that psychedelics were banned in the 1960s was not that they were dangerous, but because they were perceived as subversive. Suddenly people let their hair grow, they listened to strange music and refused to go to war. For militaristic-minded nations who expected a certain conformity and obedience, this was very scary. Compared to other drugs and medications psychedelics are very safe, but as with anything you obviously need to know what you are doing.
– In a therapeutic context psychedelics allow us to quickly go very deep. They strip away unnecessary walls and help us to dive into the subconscious, which means that we can often go further in one single psychedelic session than you would in months or even several years of regular therapy.

English Name: Autumn's Concerto
Also known as: Next Stop, Happiness
Chinese Name: 下一站幸福
Favorite Color: All colors
I couldn't really decide on this one. What color is 幸福? Red? Pink? Blue? Green? Who knows.
Favorite Dish: Beef over Rice
This is definitely the dish to describe Autumn's Concerto! You see in almost every episode! Yummy! Mu Cheng should consider opening up a store specializing in making this dish! I would swim to Taiwan if I have to! Hahahahaa! (But don't put too much carrots!)
Favorite Flower: Daisy
Still remember the flower meaning of Daisy? Silently protecting another. Hua Zhi Xin to Tuo Ye. Tuo Ye to Mu Cheng and then to Zhi Xin. Mu Cheng to Guang Xi. Guang Xi to Mu Cheng. Xiao Le to Tang Tang. I, Celsius, to you, Autumn's Concerto. Us, Viewers, to you, Autumn's Concerto, righttt???? Of Course.
Favorite Quote: Miss you! Miss you!
Probably the most famous and easy to remember quote from this drama. Although, it's Xiao Le who screams this out, it is really Mu Cheng thinking of Guang Xi. Mu Cheng to Guang Xi through Xiao Le: 迷修! 迷修!
Favorite Cartoon: Spongebob
Who could forget Xiao Le and his adorable Spongebob bag?!?!?! His room also has a Spongebob cuddly toy! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Square Pants! Wooo!
Favorite Music: Air on G String
This is self explanatory. This music bought them together. Still remember the story Mu Cheng told Guang Xi on the ice rink? It was the story of this music, and this music is the story of her life. Despite all the sour lemons life throws at her, she continues to make the sweetest lemonade ice tea.
Favorite Singer: Ding Dang
A good majority of the songs are sung by Ding Dang! She has a very powerful voice (I shall prove that in the future, just wait and listen) Did you know that her MV for "Why Did You Lie" was filmed in NYC??? There's a scene where she's on the Brooklyn Bridge. I pass by that bridge every time I go to school (5X a week). That's another link to Autumn's Concerto~!
Favorite Place: Hua Tian Village
If I ever land in Taiwan, this is the one place I'm definitely going to set my foot on! The mountainous views, Mu Cheng's home, the flower fields, random people with 花 as their surname!
Favorite Activities: Ice skating, rollerblading, riding the bus
I remember seeing Mu Cheng and Guang Xi exchanging electric sparks while ice skating. Think Anson and Da Jie from Fated to Love You (their insane electric stares)! HAHAHAHAA! Rollerblading, a memory from Guang Xi's dad to Guang Xi, a skill passed onto Xiao Le from Guang Xi. Bus rides, a motif, a special thing that evokes many AC memories. I'm on the Autumn's Concerto Bus, riding towards the 21st stop.

I'm looking for a good, chow-ish, casual place to have dinner before a movie at the Detroit Film Theater (at the Detroit Institute of Arts) on Saturday, October 20. The movie begins at 9:30. Our party consists of me, my husband, and 12-year-old daughter. My criteria are:
* Located in downtown or mid-town Detroit, or somewhere in the rough triangle of Woodward / Twelve Mile / Jefferson. (Ferndale, Madison Heights, Warren, would be great.)
* Not terribly expensive (i.e., good selection of entrees and sandwiches $10 or less)
* Reasonably good service, not terribly long waits. (We'll probably arrive around 6:00/6:15, and should leave around 8:30 or 9:00 depending on distance from DIA.)
* Serves variety of items in the burgers, sandwiches, pub grub categories. Husband and child's tastes run to traditional and simple; I'm more adventurous.
* Husband likes microbrew beers, I like hard cider, wine, and cocktails, daughter likes Shirley Temples.
Thanks so much.

He doesn't have internet so ther's no possible way that could have wrote that. Sorry if that comment offended anyone, but it wasn't me.
This is one of the worst schools I have ever been to. The best thing about it is, I met my "little sisters", Kennedy and Kamerin. The spanish part of it isn't that awesome, the dress code contradicts itself, and one of the teachers is just flat out mean. Thats not just coming from me, it's coming from the entire upper level of 2007/2008. Oh, and the gym is lame. They barely excersize!!! I...

text: The Gibson Flying V. Ahh... In my opinion one of the finest pieces of wood that there is. OK back to reality. If you sit down to play a guitar and you do not want to sit like a castrated Spaniard then don't buy a Flying V. If you cannot take that Spinal Tap jokes and references then don't buy a Flying V. If you want a gorgeous guitar that will serve you well and will also grow with you the please buy a Flying V. The sound is sweet, especially through a rather large Marshall stack. The geometry of the guitar for playing stood up is fantastic and really well balanced. If you can handle the ego boost get a V.

Toyota is considering a three-row version of the Prius hybrid. This won't be the same as the Prius Alpha offered in Japan, which merely inserts a third row of seats into the cargo area of the five-seat Prius V to be sold in the U.S. beginning this fall. Bob Carter, Toyota Division general manager, clarified that this three-row Prius being seriously studied would be big enough to seat seven people and to carry their stuff as well.
Toyota seeks to sell 1 million hybrid models annually. It plans to launch two additions to the Prius family in early 2012. These include the Prius C compact hybrid vehicle and the Prius plug-in hybrid vehicle.
In addition, Toyota is working on the dedicated Prius platform as well as optional hybrid variants for current vehicles such as the Camry. Carter divulged that the three-row Prius will need to be built on a dedicated hybrid platform.
It also has to have the Prius' aerodynamic shape, achieve a minimum of 40 mpg and offer a strong value-price equation. Toyota has been spending a significant amount on the research and development of other hybrid vehicles.
Toyota is set to present 10 new or redesigned hybrids in its global lineup within the next 20 months. A confirmation was given by Ben Mitchell, Toyota's corporate manager of product planning, that the carmaker is studying many new hybrid segments.
Toyota has been incessant in rolling out its full hybrid technology to new segments of the auto market with the launch of new models like the Auris Hybrid and Yaris Hybrid. Even with those new hybrid vehicles, most people easily see the Prius as a vehicle that features the carmaker's full hybrid powertrain design. Its latest version has been given revised exterior looks and an enhanced interior quality.
The new Toyota Prius also features better instrumentation as well as multimedia and advanced navigation systems like Toyota Touch, Toyota Touch & Go Plus and Toyota Touch Pro. Just like the generations launched before it, the latest Toyota Prius brings into the segment new high technology features not yet available on other vehicles. For instance, the Toyota Prius comes with a Head-up Display that shows relevant data -- vehicle speed and the Eco Drive Monitor, as well as the status of the optional Pre-Crash Safety and Active Cruise Control systems -- onto the base of the windscreen.
Moreover, the Prius features Touch Tracer display switch mounted on the steering wheel, allowing drivers to better control a number of operations and functions like the audio system, the air-conditioning and the ECO Drive Monitor – all without having to take their eyes off the road or remove their hands from the wheel. Safety systems include the optional Pre-Crash Safety system that integrates Adaptive Cruise Control. This system employs sensors under the front grille to anticipate potential collisions, and thereon activates a series of intelligent safety features.
For instance, the system would pre-tension the car's seatbelts and then trigger an audible Brake Assist alarm. If it is not possible to avoid a collision, the system would activate automatic braking to reduce the amount of potential impact and damage. Another safety system found on the Toyota Prius is the Intelligent Parking Assist, which could maneuver the hybrid car to into a parking space by employing ultrasonic sensors and a rear view camera to compute the necessary steering movements.
A driver does not need to steer the Prius and only has to control the vehicle speed. On the other hand, the latest Toyota Prius features a combination of remote controlled air conditioning and a solar ventilation system. The solar ventilation system could maintain the cabin air temperature even when the Prius is parked. Designed to work in conjunction with this system is the remote controlled air conditioning that allows drivers to activate this function even while outside the Prius.
This remote controlled air conditioning feature employs the large capacity hybrid battery to cool the cabin for up to three minutes before occupants enter the vehicle. These are some of the features that allowed Toyota to sell almost 100,000 units of the third-generation Toyota Prius in Europe just two years after launch. Moreover, the Prius has been one of the models that first-time Toyota customers have picked. In fact, in the first half of 2011, first-time Toyota customers – shifting from rival brands – accounted for around 50 percent of Prius sales in Europe.
The latest iteration of the Prius was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and comes with a more dynamic frontal treatment. The hybrid's revised Under Priority front bumper design puts the highlight on an enlarged lower grille while its new clear lens headlamp design has a revised LED lamp configuration, with the daytime running lights now integrated in the bumper.
Redesigned indicator lamps are now mounted on the door mirrors, which come with a power-folding function. Toyota also redesigned the rear combination lamps to make the new Prius easily recognizable even in the dark. Optional features include a solar roof, a new 15-inch wheel design or the existing 17-inch alloy wheels.
Customers could have their Toyota Prius wrapped with any of the eight available exterior colors, including the Bordeaux and Dark Blue hues. They may also avail of a new, black interior, as well as silver inserts to the air vents and center console. Customers may likewise opt for a hybrid-blue push start button and new high grade seat upholstery.

CHAARG has been a life-changing decision that I made in this so called crazy life. A passion is ignited in me to be the best version of myself, always. #CHAARGBOOTYCAMP was an even bigger game changer for me in the journey that it has brought my life. ++ being a CHAARG City Leader makes me want be even more involved with CHAARG than ever.
I had been doing so great mentally with my depression + anxiety, probably the best I've ever felt + then the #CHAARGBOOTYCAMP Week 2 came + it went downhill. I had to take my mom to the Emergency Room + every part of the hospital that we had to go through was the exact same part that I had to go through when my brother passed away. I kept seeing his death in my head over + over again + it took an emotional toll on me. I broke down at the gym during a workout + had to leave because I couldn't do it — I couldn't hold myself up anymore.
At one point, I held a bottle of medicated pills in my hand + thought about taking one — a pill I haven't taken in almost 2 years. It was at that moment though that I saw all the love + support from this community in the comments on my instagram post about how I broke down at the gym after my mom's trip to the ER.
I put the bottle down + knew that I could get through it. I didn't need a pill to make everything okay, I needed myself + the love from people around me. I had girls reaching out to me on insta, FB, + text telling me that I'm strong, that I can get through it, that they are there for me if I need to talk, ++ that everything is going to be okay. I couldn't have asked for better people in my life to help me get through what felt like me going down into a dark cycle of depression.
After that week + my mom coming home from the hospital, I knew I had seen a true strength in me. I got through something that I wouldn't have gotten through three years ago. I would have caved + taken an anti-depressant, I wouldn't get back to working out, I would let my depression take over. I was a fighter + I was ready to truly take on my biggest fit goal for #CHAARGBOOTYCAMP: Fall in love with myself.
I had then realized that a fire was fueled in me ++ I'm never letting it go out.
Falling in love with myself has always been a struggle. My depression + anxiety made me see the worst in me. I felt like I was nothing. I had gained weight + picked my body into pieces. How could I love myself when all I felt was damaged, scared, + not good enough? How could I let someone else love me when I couldn't love myself?
I joined CHAARG in January + it has helped me see myself in a new way. CHAARG has helped me consistently stay on top of my fitness journey, but also my mental journey. During this FitPlan I felt a new mindset. I was no longer picking my body apart, I was staring in the mirror + saying "DAMN GIRL—LOOK AT THOSE GAINZ" — every day feels like a day closer to where I want to be physically + mentally. I am starting to love myself for all the good, bad, faults, highs, lows, + everything in between.
On a list of things I love, I could name pizza, running, oreos, hot yoga, CHAARG, my family, friends, music, laughter… but I never thought about loving myself. But with the help of #CHAARGBOOTYCAMP loving myself is getting higher + higher ++ I cannot wait for the day that loving myself is number one on that list. I'm taking everything one day at a time, step by step. At the end of the day I know that I have 2500+ girls from this CHAARG community supporting me and my journey to finding true self love.
Left side before. Right side after. I see some differences physically which is so exciting, but above anything I've seen a huge change mentally which is even better. This community is a beautiful thing. My mom told me tonight that she's seen such a great change in me since I joined CHAARG + can't wait to see where my fitness journey takes me. She told me how lucky I am to have heard about CHAARG + that she is so thankful that I have this in my life.[[can we get a CHAARGMom shirt?!]] You ladies help keep me stable! Thanks for killing these past 6 weeks with me.
+ Robyn[@robyn__inchaarg], Virt CHAARG
#CHAARGJourney highlights our members' amazing journeys through CHAARG — physically, mentally, emotionally. Robyn was one of the three winners of the CHAARG BOOTYCAMP 2015. We could not be more proud of her for finding self-love + we're so happy to see that she's found friendships along the way. We cannot wait to follow her journey through CHAARG!
