Not a spouse but my father has a range of issues, including dementia.

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 28, 2019:

I look after my Mother in law too, and my father in law until he passed last Christmas. Mum is now in a care home, but almost every one else there is is mentally incapable so she has very little company so we visit at least three times a week and take her out at least once a week, to keep her active mentally. She is wheel chair bound as is my wife, but is otherwise just troubled with arthritic arms and hands, between us we give mutual support to the care of my wife and each other, I feel very lucky in that respect. My father in law was very ill for a very long time and she was unable to care for him without help, which I did my best with, he too had dementia, so I sympathize, it is hard to see a strong person you admire degenerate, but I took a lot of comfort in the fact he never lost his sense of humour, and was a cheeky old devil till the day he passed. It was Pneumonia got him in the end so I'm feel pleased he fought the Alzheimer's to the last and it never got him.

Would anyone else like to offer an update of their situation?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 28, 2019:

Things have improved a little for us, my wife has finally been given a correct diagnosis after nearly twenty years for her secondary condition, she has Hashimoto's disease, not simply an under active thyroid or M.E. which where the two previous possible diagnosis is why there has been little to no improvement for so long. With massive changes to her diet she is a last showing some improvement from the chronic fatigue and mental impairment. We finally got together enough money to get her an electric wheel chair, so I don't have to push her about manually anymore, this means I can take out her and her mother (for whom I am also the primary carer) together without having to have a second wheelchair pusher accompany us.

I didn't realize that it's been so long since I updated this group.

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 28, 2019:

I know it is a hard situation, I am sure we all here know that, but you are doing the right thing, just make sure to set a little time aside for yourself everyday, you have to care for yourself in order to care for her.

However taking a knee to protest against faults in the existing system is seen as unpatriotic BECAUSE it points out that all is not rosey in the garden of eden that is America when the *official line* is that IT IS.

This film along with "The Clansman" an earlier cut of the same film directly lead to the reforming of the KKK in it's modern incarnation. The original Clan had gone in to extinction after the end of the civil war Griffith's film breathed new life in to the hate group by portraying it as an heroic defender of white women's virtue from the liberated blacks, especially those fighting for the North. Griffith was not oblivious to this and marketed the film in exactly this vain, hence the original title, which he was forced to change and make substantial cuts to. During original screenings clan's men in full regalia where dragged across the front of the stage on wooden horses, carrying blazing torches to add to to the "drama" going on, on screen behind them. In a huge twist of ironic fate the costumes for the Clan, who in reality had simply worn masks or bandannas, where redesigned and dramatized by Griffith's chief costume designer Robert Goldstein who based the design of white robed and hooded masks on the Masked and Hooded Dominican Inquisition monks who had hunted and terrified his own ancestors. Assume this to be historically correct the "New" Klan copied his design in order to once again go out and terrify American Jews.

Kuwaiti Scientist Claims Homosexuality Can Be ‘Cured’ With Suppository That Kills Semen-Eating ...

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 25, 2019:

Okay I've done a bit of digging Described in most articles that mention her Dr. Mariam Al-Sohel is said to be a "Therapist" "academic" or "expert". She is not an M.D. or Phd. or Sc.D. I eventually tracked down her qualification to "the International Union of Universities in Turkey." She claims this institution presented her with an honorary doctorate in "Sex Management." Mainly due to her work in providing theological Koran based cures for homosexuality, and sexual harassment. Even this claim is unsupported and is only known of because she boasted of it some years ago in an advertisement for her main source of income which is as a Reiki Master, and a member of Toastmasters International. So in this light take this piece of media drivel for what it is worth as coming from a publicity seeking Quack and snake oil saleswoman.

A slight variation on the etymology is that it comes from the French word Caner (pronounced Can-air) meaning to Quack as in the noise made by a duck. In France the word also came to mean a lie or a hoax, when it was brought to England with the Normans in the 11th century the word evolved two ways among the Saxon population, the translation Quack came to mean a liar or false practitioner (and still does) and Caner came to mean a lie and by extension "a Canered" (pronounced can-aired) came to mean "lied". In time Canered became confused with Canard (a duck)

California Senate passes bill to end discrimination based on hair in school and workplaces - JURIST ...

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 24, 2019:

A law claiming an employer cannot discriminate on the grounds of a hair style is ludicrous, it is basically calling an end to standards of dress and professionalism in favour of a stupid, childish "You can't tell me what to do, your not my Dad" entitled attitude that is all too common today. The old saying "Clothes maketh the Man (or woman)" still holds true, and how I dressed in my leisure time (I was a total hippie) and in my work time (at that time forty odd years ago I was a trainee accountant), both expressed my personality and my sense of propriety, but did not impinge on one another. If your work place has a dress code you abide by it or you resign, I know plenty of people of any and all "races" (and bare in mind in the UK that word does not mean what it does in the USA it simply means your nationality) who are smart and professional and others who are just scruffs. If you are idiot enough to believe you can face the public and professional bodies with a bright green Mohawk spiked up with super glue (I had some one actually come for a job interview looking like that) you don't deserve to be employed. If you had told me I could not look at some one precocious enough to turn up at job interview like that and NOT decide they were a buffoon who did not really want the job or was just taking the piss I would simply have found another reason not to employ them. When I was in my teens I had an 18" Afro, my hair is naturally curly and bushes out when it is long. I had to leave school at sixteen for family reasons and the first two things I did before even beginning to look for work was buy a smart suit and cut my hair in to a crew cut, because that is the only way it could be made to look smart and the only way I could expect to gain employment.

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 23, 2019:

It pretty much depends on how you define Smart. If smart means that you think analytically and require evidence and tangible proof then yes If smart means knowledgeable, then not necessarily If smart means willing to bilk money out the mentally weak, gullible and frightened then the professed religious leaderships have the edge. If smart means being willing to listen and accept unquestioningly and believe what you are told to believe on the promise of an eternal and divine afterlife then no, the religious are far smarter than the non religious.

KNACKERED - exhausted; very tired: He is really knackered after work.

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 17, 2019:

Originally a Knacker (or knacker-man) was a practitioner tradesman of horse butchering, the word Knack is the onomatopoeic word for the sound of a breaking bone in middle English. Since the British do not as a rule eat horse flesh, the Knacker disposed of the horse carcass by skinning it for leather, using the flesh, offal and blood to make pet and animal feed, hair fir wigs or stuffing for furniture, bones and hooves to be boiled up for making glue. Even the faeces was turned in to fertiliser. A "Knackered" horse was completely recycled with less than a pound of waste matter. After the trade went out of fashion, people who thought of themselves as workhorses to industry would claim to be ready for the Knackers yard, shortened to simply Knackered. Oddly Knackers plural of a Knacker, has come like cobblers (shoemakers) to mean a euphemism for testicles.

"The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion is a fabricated antisemitic text purporting to describe a Jewish plan for global domination." It is a notorious piece of antisemitism. It purports to lay out a plan for global domination and a "how to" of seizing power concocted for Jewish domination. Now laying aside all the fucking anti semitic filth contained therein the plan for domination of a state is Machiavellian in nature and is a perfectly sound if utterly immoral political strategy, one that can been seen in action in Trumps administration since 2016. Undermine the media, destroy public trust in non government sources of information, drive out dissenting voices in your own administration by practice constructive dismissal on others until you can replace them with your own people who are "willing to step up and do their patriotic duty" when others will not. Have your own popular media catering to the base instincts of the masses and set up a public bogeymen for purpose of a perceived threat to the status quo, then use the fear generated to alter the status quo "temporarily" for the greater good. Say nothing that your base will disagree with and amuse them with "jokes" that carry a strong message of prejudice and hate. In the time to come we can expect a crisis to be instigated that will require a suspension of the constitution, the closing of media news outlets, mass censorship of those remaining, troops on the street for public safety and an end to elections until the danger is past.

We in the west have done this to ourselves, since the turn of the century the arrogance and self entitlement of our political decision makers have lead to one catastrophic decision after another. Instead of learning from the likes of Mitterrand and Berlusconi moral and criminal corruption we went ahead and tried to better the lesson. Capitalism has run wild like a child given free access to a credit card and an unfiltered internet and is no longer a tempered ideology, but the economics of gluttony. Our resources are running out and rather than face the truth we simply pretend nothing CAN change, because nothing has changed for so very long. The same goes for pending enviromental disaster and failing antibiotics in the face of evolving pathogens, natural and man made. We are running headlong in to our own extinction event biological and sociological, pedal to the metal acceleration, sun glasses on and rock and roll drowning out the warning voices as our gung ho attitude of better dead than settle for less heads for the cliff edge like an international version of Thelma and Louise.

The 2005 was in reality was bad remake of Crucible of terror 1971 an ill conceived variation on the above.

The Wiz 1979 again hardly a remake, but sort of based on the same novel as The wizard of Oz 1939 Any Japanese or Korean horror film that has had an American remake (Notably Ju-On), any French Thriller that has had an American remake (Notably La Femme Nikita) any European comedy that has had an American remake (Notably Taxi)

God only exists as a potential in phase space, until proved to exist it exists in the quantum state of simultaneously being and not being. However uniquely once proven to exist by it's own defining characteristics the ineffable and unknowable god of Christianity and the associate Abrahamic religions must cease to exist as such, and in the event of being proven not to exist it does not exist. Therefore the Christian God can **only** exist in potentia It can definite not be, but if it is then it immediately cancels itself out.

How about she sit her husband down quietly, and in a calm and tranquil voice, with sweetest of smile say this. "Our child will be vaccinated against all preventable and possible fatal or crippling diseases, if you try and stop this from happening, I strongly suggest you never sleep again without a locked door between you and I, Because if you do make that mistake I will cut off your junk with a pair of tree pruning shears. I are getting what I am saying sweetheart?" I think he might leave skid marks on his way to the clinic.

Hating an ideology and hating the followers are not the same.

Two of the most important people in my whole life were and are Muslim, they were both fine people I was proud to call friend (and believe me I don't extend that curtesy to many people) and neither of them would have placed their religion ahead of family, friends, country or people in general. One was my best friend for much of my childhood, he married a Christian woman and allow his children to grow up and choose their own path, he was a talented musician, great businessman and simply one of the nicest people I have ever met. The other was a neighbor, mentor, friend and a second father to me. His death in 2012 broke my heart and his family are still good friends. They like many other Muslims I know and like myself were born in to their faith and take it no more seriously than I did, it is simply a part of their life, to some extent a guide line in their education and personal development. I broke away from religion and it meant nothing to them, they both had atheists and fundamentalists in their own families and it meant nothing to them unless it brought harm to them or others. Their lives are replete with good and bad as is mine, our respective holy books are cherry picked for good and the bad in them is rejected by us all as incompatible with modern life. My point being that extremism in any ideology destroys lives, moderate affiliation does less harm but leads to eventual freedom and rejection. Experience and personal choice makes for good people and a good life in spite of your accidents of birth not because of them.

We are all created equally. Agree/Disagree?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 9, 2019:

We are all equal in the eyes of the Law or Lore, all equal in the right to a life free of unnecessary suffering, all equal in our right to happiness and fulfilment. But are we born physically, mentally,emotionally equal? Hell NO!

Diversity -what we need more of these days. Agree/Disagree?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 9, 2019:

Diversity is fine other than when it takes precedence over merit and/or pragmatism for the sake of virtue signaling.

Anti-vax arseholes are starting to pop up in this country too, almost all of them when asked why they don't want their kids protected tell doctors (so it is reported) that they "Read something on the internet" Maybe this is natures way of fighting back the poor little so and sos will either die or grow up vowing they won't put their kids through it. We have emergency laws in place in this country to prevent fuckwit Jehovah's Witness's and Christian scientist killing their kids for religious reasons, hopefully it will be extended to anti-vax stupidity.

How they really are!

Remember watching Charlie Chan?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 7, 2019:

The first Charlie Chan films came out in 1926 and continued in one form or another until 1976, the final appearance being the children's cartoon series The amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, where he was finally for the one and only time played or at least voiced by an actual Chinese man Keye Luke, and the pastiche movie Murder By Death where Chan was played by Peter Sellers. The Great irony of the series of books, films, radio shows and TV shows was that Chan was supposed to be an ANTI-racist character, meant to ease fears in the public perception brought about by the whole "yellow peril" panic. So you want to make people understand the east Asians what do you do, cast a series of old occidental men to play him, load him down with cliches such as prefacing everything with the word "honourable" give him a child but no wife and never name the child just call him No.1 son and later No.1 Grandson, dress him all in white, give him a Manchu beard and moustache and completely eliminate all pronouns from his vocabulary. That'll do it. EDIT Sorry I forgot about the parody film Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen (1981), starring Peter Ustinov

I recall being told the story of the first man to ever see an elephant come on to his farm. Reporting the incident to the incredulous village elder, he explained the animal to be huge, with four legs, gray skin and sexually perverse. "How so?" asked the elder "Well," said the man. "it was picking cabbages with its tail and you won't believe where he was shoving them."
