09:17 – Barbara picked up her mom from the hospital yesterday and brought her home. Sankie was apparently talking nonsense for most of the trip home and for a while after they got back to the apartment, but Barbara said her mom started to settle down after Barbara gave her the no-more-of-this-or-else speech. Our phone didn’t ring after Barbara got home, so we’re hoping that Sankie will settle down and start behaving. Sankie must know that if she starts up again, Barbara and Frances will have no option but to move her to a different facility.
One of the “new” chemicals we plan to include in the life science kits is universal indicator, which provides a visual indication of the approximate pH of solutions. In very acid solutions, pH 2 or lower, the indicator is red. As the pH increases, the color changes through rose (pH 3), orange (4), orange-yellow (5), yellow (6), lime green (7), green-blue (8), cyan (9), lilac (10), violet (11), and finally to pure blue in extremely alkaline solutions. So I just made up and tested two liters of the stuff, which is enough for 60+ life science kits.
So right now Sankie knows at some level that her behavior and speech are causing problems and can still find means of controlling herself. I fear this will not last, however.
My own mom can sound perfectly lucid and intelligent for fairly long stretches but then goes off, and the going-off happens more frequently and for longer. We believe she also knows her behavior is wack but doesn’t care. So that’s a lovely wrinkle, of course. Also incontinent and doesn’t care.
Oh the fun we have! Well, mostly my younger brother, SIL and nieces for the past ten years. Saints.
Watch out Bob and Mr. OFD, Holder is on yer case:

Reading between the lines, Holder can snuff you with any means if Obummer thinks you are a threat.
Better get out the Shilka.
I was advised that it is always open season with no bag limit on drones. Also no restrictions on methods or ammo.
Laissez les bon temps rouler, mes amis!
I can’t wait for the first shoot down/crash of a domestic drone. Collateral damage could be significant.
Here is one from almost a year ago:

And this:

But no shoot-downs that we know of yet; coming soon, I’ll readily wager.
