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.

I also am a Christian, but read your post anyway. Can I say something? It may not help, but maybe you won't feel so alone. I have two ill parents as well - one suffering from liver cancer, and the other needing a liver transplant (gee, where'd all these great liver genes come from anyway?). I am the main caretaker at times when they can't do things that need to be done. And I am also married to a baptist preacher. I find that people who tell me they'll pray for me (and my parents) are genuine about it, but they don't know what else to say or do to help. I get discouraged ALOT- with family and with our church because I too feel that alot of times people say these things to you to be nice and go along on their way - so don't think that God believing folk have it easy - you know God said it would rain on the just and the unjust alike. That is the world we live in. It stinks. Truly. I totally agree and don't understand either, but I know God is with me. It may not be His will to change my situation, but I know I am not alone. And it's hard to remember that when I am down in the dumps. (which honestly - is quite often) I have two kids under the age of ten, and my parents have a kennel that I have to take care of (which I do because I feel guilty feeling like they have to get rid of their animals if I don't help). I really do know where you are coming from. I am thankful for this board, because I think it is a place where we can keep each other encouraged. No one can say they know how you feel unless they've been there, and everyone here is struggling with the same type of thing. May God Bless each caregiver here for all they do (that is my prayer), and those they care for. Hang in there.
BBBBAAAHHH But is any one else listening to that damn Hawaiian album! GAQH I may not wait for him to die before I total it!!!'
I am not a nostalgic, but there are things of the past which fascinate me. I would have liked to live in the liberty's era. My grandparents lived during that period.
Hey we did ripped jeans usually by then it was acid washed as well though. how bout shoulder pads and spandex..how bout together?...
I notice at 35 the desire to wear what pleased ME became far more important than what the world said looked good.
It's 6 in the morning here and I am going to take a nap! Have a nice evening! Stop listen to hawaiian music (I liked Loggins and Messina "Full sail", though) (music of the 80's, I think. Hawaiian rhythm sang by two American boys)
Glad to see you joined us last night, J. Keep putting your feelings out there. We are listening. It's not for us to judge you! I'm with you on naked. The less clothes the better! Although now that I have lost 16 lbs and have toned up, I find myself wearing tighter close when I go out. If you're looking good at 59, you flaunt it! Spandex is for the gym! Hawaiian music all the time would make me crazy!
Rossella, Interesting that you would like the tattered look, but then, Italians do have the greatest sense of style and can pull off anything!
Punk, know what you mean about the baby monitor. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Sleep? What's that? If it ain't Mom, it's the darn cats!
