Seniors for Living has some excellent information to read up on before you have to deal with an elderly parent in the hospital.

If your elderly parent does have to go to the hospital, here’s some encouraging news from @MrElderCare - ICUs see big drop in dangerous staph superbugs.

The Lord will give strength to His people.

Would you like a tiny, inexpensive mp3 player to take to the gym. Perhaps you’ve been wanting to give one to a grandchild but didn’t want to spend a lot in case they lost it or broke it. Amazon carries a SanDisk Sansa Express . It looks and acts just like a stick/thumb drive. You insert it into the USB port of your computer to recharge it or add/delete songs/audio files. It holds up to 500 MP3 files (16 hours) or 1,000 WMA files (32 hours) and it also has an FM tuner and a voice recorder. It supports MP3, WMA, WAV, Audible, and protected WMA playback. You can find it at Amazon, or keep an eye out at FatWallet, and other discount sites as it seems to go on sale fairly often. Thanks to @ affiliatetip for this frugal tip.

Speaking of computers, here’s an interesting article -“99 Ways to Speed Up Your Computer ” which you can find at Help Desk Geek’s blog. I’m in the process of reformatting a misbehaving laptop at the moment. When that’s done, I’m going to give some of these ideas a whirl!

Ahhhh. Another sweet smile. Here’s an adorable picture of family love – kitty style. Do you think it’s grandma hugging grandson?

Do you remember when the really great rides at Disney were the E-Ticket rides? :) Fun memory for all of us in the Baby Boomer Generation thanks to @ElderCareRN.

Just a reminder that if you have problems finding shoes that are comfortable to wear and look stylish, perhaps because of arthritis, Barking Dog Shoe’s blog is an excellent resource.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 – My favorite verse on tough nights.

WCTV in Florida has some interesting statistics on Alzheimer’s Disease at per @twitterbo. He also found an informative article – Lung Cancer: Men vs. Women .
