    99% of the best CNA's and MA's that my Mom has really liked have all been Filipina.  They not only do their job well, but they all tend to go that extra mile.  Very appreciated by me!

    Same here for the mother-in-law. She is in a beautiful (private) home with only 6 residents and is extremely well taken care of. And, she's only a 20 minute drive away from us.

    If I get to a point where I can't take care of myself anymore, I plan to move to the Philippines. There, I can hire a maid, a cook, a driver and a fluffer for less than the cost of an assisted-living facility in the US. Probably even bring in live music once a month. Fresh tropical fruit delivered to the house daily. All while enjoying a culture that actually respects geezers, er, elders. 

    I hope I can still request tracks even then.

    Depends where you bought in ?

     

    I bought in where it was most expensive to sit on the shelf and not get used. But it felt good at the time.

  4. Ah, the case (pun intended) for a backup DAW machine?

    I have two. It's a pain keeping them up to date, but doable. And one is a Mac so as long as I don't have to run CbB in the event my PC craps out I'm golden (myGoTo is Studio One). All my projects are backed up to the cloud from the PC so it's easy to get the last version as the last time I shut down a project. I typically pause Carbonite for two hours at a time while I'm working on projects and try to remember to unpause once I'm done, to get automatic backups. 

    My two computer OS drives are backed up nightly.

    Well, 4 people out of ~130,000 residents is hardly noticeable.  By comparison, in California for instance, two men are facing criminal trial for submitting more than 8,000 fraudulent ballot applications on behalf of 'fictitious, nonexistent or deceased' people.  The overarching fact is that The Villages is a pretty cool place for active adults.

    Well, I hope those two men are punished accordingly if found guilty (regardless of their polytic affiliation) as with the four in FL.

    For the record I was not saying (and would not say) that The Villages was inherently bad because of these cases. I only mentioned The Villages because James mention it.  I'm sure it's a cool place.

    I've also been to Hawthorne and it's a decent area here in Southern California.

    No idea...?

    Yup, I was right. 4 residents both voted twice and were caught.

    As of April 2022,  two were awaiting trial but the other two were put under court ordered community service and mandated civics courses to avoid jail time (18 month is they fail to comply).

    What do you see if you look in the Members Area under "Complete Your Amplifikation 360 Bundle!"?   

    Hah, I saw $39, but of course I just now bought it for $25. I never bought 360 because at the time I owned everything.
