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.

“Short words are best, and old words when short are best of all.”
we are apt to grow weary, to despond,
and almost to despair of a good issue.
Let us not therefore be harsh in censuring others,
but carefully watch over ourselves
when we are in trouble."
(Matthew Henry)
This phrase appears in print in English in 1546, as
"don't look a given horse in the mouth",
in John Heywood's A dialogue conteinyng the nomber in effect of all the prouerbes in the Englishe tongue, where he gives it as:
"No man ought to looke a geuen hors in the mouth." 🐎
Frankly, my dear I don’t give a damn.
Gone With The Wind perfectly delivered in the movie by Clark Gable.
Actors could be fun whether they had lines were written or their own.
A cub reporter, inquiring about Cary Grant's age sent him a note: "How old Cary Grant".
Grant replied "Old Cary Grant fine. How you?"
Ode Limitations of Immortality
“Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.”
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

“Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.”
~ Theodor Geisel
Who was Theodor Geisel, you might be wondering. He was more well known to most as the fabulous Dr. Seuss. He has the most wonderful quotes beyond his children’s books - although even his quotes in those books are quite something.... “Oh, the places you’ll go...”. I highly recommend giving them all a look!
Tennessee Williams
"There is no fence or hedge 'round Time that has gone. You can go back and have what you like if you remember it well enough.”
Cheshire Cat
You have gladdened my heart tonight. Exactly one year ago I was flying to Palm Springs to see my bro. Our last visit, and we KNEW it. Somehow we knew. At the end of the visit he said to me "I am having a hard time letting you go; I don't know why"
And I said to him "It is because we are afraid we will not see one another again". We did not. I think we both knew.
I have sent you a private message. Thank you. Your gift tonight has loosening of my tears. And I am grateful for their cleansing.
Here is mine for today.

James Clavell:
"So you're at war over a difference of opinion about what is God and what is not God? That is a very stupid reason to go to war."
"We are a very predictable people."
George R.R. Martin:
"Don't take offense where none is intended."
(I try very hard to remember that one, especially in this day and age)
"When the choice is death or debt, best borrow."
What a beautiful memory of you and your brother's last visit together exactly a year ago. I know you've shared in many threads how close the two of your were but, this truly made it all the more clear. I could actually envision your dinner together and it brought tears to my eyes as well.
As an only child, I always wished I had an older brother and if I had one, I would have wanted the same kind of relationship that you were so blessed to have with yours.
I'm glad you felt the cleansing through the tears from "MJ1929's" favorite quote!
