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.

So nice of you to ask. The water was perfect and my sister and I shelled and saw lots of interesting live creatures in and out of shells. Found some unusual shells, too. I loved it! Got a bad sunburn by trying to protect my face. Burnt my back despite strong sunscreen. Then my cousin from Mich. came for a nice visit with 9 of our family here!
Every day for 4 days we have the AC repairmen out because one of the systems isn't working right. Trouble in paradise! We have window units and fans to help us through.
I feel left out of the "whine" topic because it's turned into a great talk among a circle of friends. I just am not one of those friends. It is a good thing for them, and you are one of them. I just accept that that topic is closed to me. I get ignored if I post anything! I need to stay out of it & find some other topic. ;o)
Keep well and God bless!
Is your husband's arthritis severe enough to interfere with everyday life? Mine has RA and it's painful at times but he manages to work around it. He also has the help of his Rheumy.
Thank you for all the encouraging words me to keep at it. I'll look for openings, but I have to have something to say and I'm often at a loss due to the ongoing personal conversations.
Hope22....I love thunderstorms too!!! Every bit of them, unless I'm driving and have to get out of the car in the rain. Being inside, all cozy and dry, is the perfect place to hear and see thunderstorms washing the world clean and green.
Another thing I love are ice pops...I think I may have mentioned that on here...if so...oops...but today, I found the ones i love the most at half price!!! yay!! Double the love!!!
You are not the only one who has commented on what seems to be everyone's FAVORITE, the whine thread. You can post anywhere, say anything you want! Have you tried Caregivers & Dysfunctional Families, How are you? (Started by Cmagnum?) One of my favorite things is to welcome people wherever I see them. Everyone is sincere asking you to keep posting. So keep sharing, Colorsue! I try to check this post every time I am feeling unsettled or sad, or in a bad mood, hoping someone will have posted some good, even about the weather, plants, or, like I tried to put across earlier in this thread, even if we have a complaint or sorrow, turn it to positive. I am positive that I was in a bad mood today but reading the nice things people have said here has changed me to thankful!
Have a good night, Colorsue. Goodnight Johnboy, goodnight Gershen, Goodnight Luckylu, Goodnight Hope, Goodnight Windy, Goodnight Cwillie, Goodnight Glad, Goodnight Golden, Goodnight Falcon, Goodnight Veronica, Goodnight JesseBelle, Goodnight Jeanne, Goodnight Oregongirl, Goodnight Gospelgirl, Goodnight Stacey, Goodnight Garden, Fregflyer, Vstephens, Cmagnum, Countrymouse,
and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. everyone, you have been great to know.
Another one of my favorite things is star gazing... last nights spectacular was exhilarating!! Nice and dark so the stars were bright and truly felt one with the universe and felt at peace.
My mother wanted to come back as a hummingbird. We hung 5 hummingbird feeders out back, now every evening loads of them come by for a drink with me :)
CentralMassach....black raspberry chocolate chip frozen yogurt?? OMG - that's got to be heaven for any chocolate lover! What brand is it and where to do you get it - grocery store? frozen yogurt stand?
Let's make it wandering through shallow waters, sipping on a black raspberry chocolate chip frozen yogurt while listening to classical music - that's got to be at the top of favorite things!
And perhaps Stacey will tempt us even more by changing her avatar to a photo of the yogurt - then we're done for!
Just get the black rasberry chocolate chip frozen yogurt, leave the rest!
Spending time with nh twin grandsons ......vacation is coming soon so I can do that, roaming around in early am hours taking pictures of nature...all is good and peaceful.
Colorsue, have you visited that thread yet? Gluttons, all of us. Maybe you have a favorite food? Put it here!
I love your avatar, is that your pup?
Yes it is, ONLY now it is feet! Dog tired?
Recipe, tuna, correction,Packed in water.
Only now it is feet! Packed in water, really?
Once you change your avatar, it is changed historically in all the past posts. Who knows what you've said that changes the meaning with each change of the avatar/photo!
I don't know where the water in the hot springs is, nor how to get there!
Hey, did you also change you screen name?
You really have a fun yet wicked sense of humor!!
It's pouring right now and I and much of my extended family are either inside or on the 2nd floor covered porch watching the thunderstorm!! So awesome! I'm thinking of your Dad right now. I'm fortunate that mine is still here. I believe his and my Mom's advancing years are the reason they arranged this vacation.
You are so right about "getting it out" on the whine thread. I have almost no where to vent, so I was occasionally venting there. Maybe I'll continue, I'm not sure...I'll just go with my needs and how strong they are. Thanks so much for writing! ;o)
Pamz, yes, I am going on a quest to find the hot springs anytime soon. A vacation, I think they call it, its been forever, over 10 years. I found the photo on istock photos, free.
