Well this just sucks

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Tue May 28, 2019 6:55 pm

Today the senior care facility called to tell me my younger brother is not eating or taking his medications and forgets to bathe. He is declining fast. I will be arranging a transfer to the memory care unit.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Damn, so sorry.

The care of memory units can be extraordinary. Hope it all works for you and him.

My thoughts are with you and the family. Witnessing the decline of a younger sibling just doesn't seem right somehow.
