Simply this: I appreciate this site IMMENSELY !!!... But we now seem to live in an "ABBREVIATED' age... Yet not everyone who reads this site knows what every abbreviation used in Questions means... I think most readers who do not know the used Abbreviation, will just not bother to read further or react to it.!
"Aging-Care" -personnel: Could you please have a permanent request printed on your site for "questioners" to have the courtesy to fully write out the word, the 1st time it is used, then put the Abbreviation in parenthesis next to the word. Thereafter the meaning of the abbreviation is known to the reader throughout the rest of the text. ...
This has become "courtesy protocol" in business correspondence and here it should be required, because your readers live in such a large country that terminology and names can be different in Alaska, compared to the same thing in Texas....... Your Attention to this matter would surely be appreciated by many readers, as your subject matter discussed here is becoming ever more important and the help you offer is needed by many elderly
I am now asking for an explanation for " APS " - it is not found in Google either.... Thank you for listening ! DHilBe.

Glad you didn't flat line, BunnyO..... [that was so funny, thanks Dhilbe]
They are not admitting it, but I don't have them this morning after spending 45 min with the tech last night. Sometimes it is a whole lineup of 333333 too. Thanks for caring.
check out Bunny's profile. Maybe that answers the question.
I hope someone was by her or his side to administer CPR..........
In the meantime,,,, I hope everyone had a great 4th of JULY !!!! and did not get side-swiped by Arthur... took a lot of shingles off my son's house... wishing everyone well !!
OK= OH KAY ;-))
Happy IVGLDSW Day
Today is International Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman's Day, so please send this message to someone you think fits this description. Please do not send it back to me as I have already received it from a Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman! And remember this motto to live by: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, totally worn out and screaming 'WOOO HOOOOO what a ride!'
The closest I have ever been to a goat was at a petting zoo more than 30 years ago. One of the goats thought my daughter's dress was quite tasty! The photographer for the area paper thought it quite cute. The photo appeared on the front page the following week.
{wth= what the heck...} not the other bad word
.. and yes, dear lloveMom , I have chased goats... Grandparents had a farm and I used to have to take 2 of them up the road with their kids to grassy areas along the railroad... Not only did I have to chase them often, they chased me also and bumped me about at times, and yes, they can be ornery, but are so cute when little...but I could never stand to drink their milk... worst taste ever...!

Get your goat...Meaning: ...Make you annoyed or angry.
Origin
The dictionary definition of goat is 'a ruminant quadruped of the genus Capra'. What's that got to do with being angry? Given the meaning of 'get your goat', we might expect to find goat as a slang term meaning anger or annoyance. That meaning is recorded in the US book "Life in Sing Sing, 1904" ,in which goat is given as a slang term for anger.
Well, I picked up this phrase from my KY husband, rest his soul... he was never in SingSing, TTL-Thank the Lord - hmmmmm - he must have read the book .
but I can imagine they are stubborn....
ALZ-patients or Dementia patients get tired more quickly than us young folks of 79... and that usually results in worse behaviour, attention, and reactions, until you can get them to bed and to sleep...
That turn usually happens @ the end of late afternoon/evening ... hence the term Sundowners.
