By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization.

Thinking if I were given the opportunity to delete not only my account, but also every word I ever said on Aging Care, like BarbBrooklyn, now would be the time to join her.
As it is, one can delete their account, and it is closed, but all their posts remain

She’s interesting and extremely intelligent. She gave sound advice, yet very compassionate. I felt that she was always fair.
I don’t exactly understand the conflict because I missed it. I certainly don’t want to speculate because there are missing pieces for me.
All I can say is that I feel Barb was genuine. When I fell apart she sent wonderful private messages that kept me afloat when I was rapidly drowning. I will forever be grateful.
Guess you would have had to been there and seen for your own eyes.
Discussing this now, speculating, just furthers the dissension and inflames the situation. It was not as simple as ignoring or not reading, to explain. However, explaining has me pretty much burnt out.
People on the Careger's Behaving Badly thread are awake.
Gordon Bennett
It’s getting passé now, but it was common in the last decades of the twentieth century to hear British speakers say Gordon Bennett! when they wished to express surprise, incredulity, or exasperation. “Gordon Bennett — he couldn’t even keep himself sane, let alone anyone else,” as a character says in Red Dwarf by Grant Naylor. The expression has long puzzled lexicographers.

I'm quoting from The Times which is quoting from The Independent and awards it Headline Of The Week for this:
"Man who robbed bank wearing pillowcase without eye holes arrested after fleeing 'very slowly' then stopping to pat a dog, court hears."
Not a career criminal, then, one has to hope.
Then, I said:

OK, so I put some holes in the pillowcase, what's next? Hubs doesn't want to wear it because it will be covering his nose.
Then MsMadge said:

Face mask for new virus?
Now, I am saying, no one is going to get my jokes unless they read back a few.
No problem, because I always appreciate MsMadge's posts, so many are funny.
MsMadge, we've been to Sprouts last night. Never knew that WEDS., after a flyer expires, is called double Weds., and one can buy yesterday's flyer sales, and Weds. flyers sales that day! So, the BOGO (buy one, get one free) allowed us to buy two chuck roasts for what ends up to be $3.00/lb.
And the oatmeal raisin cookies were scrumptious.!!!
And, CM, you are a very funny person too, always appreciate your posts. That report on the pillowcase was great!
What does this mean, what you just said?
I think you are correct in saying that someone's true intent is impossible to read in the written word.
You just said:
"Send's tongue in cheek admission of trolling"......
"Admission" of trolling?
What is that?
Can you please explain it to me?
It is so very sad to lose BarbBrooklyn after all these years.
I think some of it is about the impossibility of reading true intent in the written word - it actually seems that Send's tongue in cheek admission of trolling and sh*t disturbing has been taken seriously 😞
😟
Gordon Bennett, people - ignoring comments and threads you don't like must be the simplest option, surely?
It isn't so.
I just was behaving badly.
I wanted to see what fun it is to actually lie, to incite people to become upset,
to garner mean nasty followers to join in negative posting.
It is okay, I did not enjoy it, and it won't happen again.
Sorry everybody. This thread is not for the really bad.
Love from Send.
Hahaha, fact can be stranger than fiction. Let’s hope he is not a career criminal.
"Man who robbed bank wearing pillowcase without eye holes arrested after fleeing 'very slowly' then stopping to pat a dog, court hears."
Not a career criminal, then, one has to hope.
Mother had something caught in her throat and just got up from the table and went to the Women's bathroom because she didn't want anyone to see she had a problem and my SIL followed her in there and did the Heimlick on her and saved her.
People do know we are joking, correct?
You did good!
What a blessing, all around. The kind that comes back to you multiplied.
Thank you for such a nice story.
Did anyone else reading this smile, tear up, and heart swell with appreciation for Pamzi?😂
In reality, she took on a big guy, shoved her fist into his stomach, from behind.
I doubt if the poor guy even saw her coming, she is so tiny.
