    Nope, they'll just ask to see a photo of the card on your iPhone. We have that.

    Yeah, but a Rod Steiger doppelgänger before 2002. Now, he maintains an address at Forest Lawn.

    Stand offish can also be spelled "standoffish".

    Brett's body language tells me he is cold. Brett did not listen to Bettyann and wear a long sleeve shirt. Notice all the others in long sleeves. It appears Carol is cross-examining him and his jaw tells me is not going to be forthcoming with the "truth." The look on Bettyann's face tells me she is disgusted with Brett not listening and then whimpering about being cold while dining. Carol is showing Brett the palm of her hand and that tells me she is dying to slap that semi-smirk off his face.

    This whole ordeal could have been avoided had Brett donned a long sleeve. Nothing wrong with Brett that a dinner jacket and sitting up straight in his chair wouldn't fix, at least for Lon's photos. :D:)

    If Brett continues to be a slouch, I suggest they bring him in a seat from an East LA lowrider. If he continues to park his buns six inches from the back of the chair, then he will have serious backaches. I fear for Bettyann's sanity should he ever suffer serious low back problems due to his horrible sitting posture.

    If I lived there I would bring my own red rose wine, a 1500 ML bottle, as a before, during, and after dinner medication. It is the only way I could deal with the high drama hahaha!

    To my list of reasons why I am not so sad that I can't afford assisted living, I can add that if I were interested in being in prison, I'd at least like to have the satisfaction of having committed a crime.

    are you suggesting that assisted living is like prison? What do you think I committed to warrant assisted living? I don't understand your post.

    There are cities where you're just as (or even more) restricted. For those who rarely leave the assisted living campus, the differential in lifestyle is way less than for a lot of others in this country who are "on the outside." And I think that things are gonna get worse for those of us in areas that gone largely unscathed by this. The vaccine choo-choo is just getting underway, and it's gonna be making stops every year.
