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. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our

I think I'm too phobic of commitment to make a bucket list. lol Doesn't that sound bizarre? I'll have to work on it.
SpiritDancer - yay, a convert! My favourite Blue Rodeo song is Hasn't Hit Me Yet, when you get to it. And their cover of Joni Mitchell's River is not to be missed. :-)
I showed them to my husband, and he asked me if I was hinting something. Hinting what I said. He replied: 'Well, you're hinting that when I turn 50 (next year), I should kick the bucket.' Hahaha. My funny husband.
Thank you for sharing your list. I definitely need some inspiration. I wish I knew what I wanted to do sometimes. Maybe live in Paris one day, but we'll see how it goes.
Ride a roller coaster. (I'm terrified of heights.)
Jam with the band that has created the soundtrack of my entire adult life - Blue Rodeo. (This will probably never happen but it's still on my list and I even know how to play about half of their songs.)
Visit my ancestral home. (Literally a student hall of residence in Bristol now.)
See a Broadway show on actual Broadway in NYC.
Learn another language.
Get really super fit. (This one has become huge in my head ever since I injured my leg and hip and started getting soft.)
Buy my own bow and arrows so I can practice archery. (I just started learning from a friend.)
Some of these are actually do-able!
Traveling some. Keeping my family together. Learning to paint. Constantly working on being a better person. Moving to a more Sr. friendly home (against hubby's wishes)
Cooking the perfect turkey--whoops, done that about 30 times......
Learning to take criticism and not fall apart.
Get back in touch with old friends who have drifted away.
Listen more, talk about 50% less.
1. Travel to every beach possible.
2. To have a garden with the brightest colors imaginable.
3. Make the most perfect sourdough bread.
Failing that I definitely want to drive across Canada. Probably while listening to the best of Canadian music. Rush, Joni Mitchell, Blue Rodeo, Tom Cochrane.....maybe some Gordon Lightfoot, Sylvia Tyson, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Stan Rogers....(GOT to have "Northwest Passage"* at the VERY least!)....

(Jeez, I'm cryin'. Why does Stan Rogers' voice make me cry?)
What are some of yours?
