The Animal Rescue Website is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.
You don’t have to buy anything. Just click on the link shown below to feed abused and neglected animals. When you get to their website, click on ‘feed an animal in need’. It’s in a purple box in the middle of the page. This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

It cost you nothing but a moment of your time. Click on this everyday you can, and let your family and friends know about this simple, easy way to help abused and neglected animals. Thanks for caring.

This episode tells of one of the first indications I had that something was wrong. I wasn't overly concerned at the time since the doctor had said these delusions were from stress caused by nicotine withdrawal. In truth, it ended up as Vascular Dementia. I had no clue as to what the next four months would be like. For that, I am thankful. Had I known, I'm not sure either of us would have survived it. The really scary part about dementia is that it is forecast as the next epidemic. Recently, I read a comment credited to Rosalynn Carter that went something like this, "There are four kinds of people in the world. There are those who are current caregivers. There are those who have been caregivers. There are those who will be caregivers. There are those who needed, need, or will need caregivers." Believe me, you don't want to be any of those!

It's one I think Toot will enjoy. It's a bit more mild than he writes, but it gets the message across. =)

See first reply:

"Don't change anything," is good advice given in support groups for those involved with victims of Alzheimer's or any other type of dementia. The following story reinforces that advice. Don't even change your hair style!

Where's everyone hiding. 'tis the tenth or twelfth time I've dropped in, no new replies or posts. I hope y'all ain't havin' as many internet problems as I am. Laters, gators.

All right, now I not only have this mac, but my other computer is repaired. Great, surfs up, lets go... hold on there, no waves to ride on... the internet connection won't stay on... four cable guys, six power guys, and two specialists later, they think they have it figured out and repaired... yeah right, now it's like sex, in and out, in and out, but most of the time it's out, doing nothing. I tell ya, it's about enough to make me pull my hair out, if I had enough left to get a good handful. Now it's the weekend, if it continues to go in and out, nothing I can get done until Monday at the earliest. GGGGRRRRRRRRR!
