As far as my television provider is concerned, I live in one of the five boroughs.;) I get the 3 NY sports channels - MSG, MSG+, and SNY - along with the NY locals. I get Houston locals w/ the antenna in my attic.:-:
Congrats on the Devils win. The suckiest provider in the world. they insist people where I live had local channels via antenna, I know someone that has the tallest legally allowed and gets on channel in very fuzzy! My parents also live near a lake in an area with no tv signal and directv refuses local channels to them there as well, in fact they don't carry them like dish network does. |

I dealt with Alzheimer's w/my Dad -- it was really sad to see him deteriorate from the person he was.:( In his case, he went downhill pretty quickly & had to go into a nursing home -- where he was for the last 5 yrs of his life, which ended up being a 'blessing' for my step-mom. I have another friend whose dad has alzheimer's & her mom just had a stroke. She now sees exactly what her mom has had to deal with for the past few years.:( |

I really want to go, but I don't think I am going to be up to it after 18 hours of travel from the other side of the world. On the other hand I don't want to wait 5 more years to go. I will talk it over with the other half and see what the plan is.

I need to search ebay for a Verizon global phone to activate before I travel to HKG. I get in 2 days after the s/o and I have to travel to Guangzhou alone. I would feel better with a phone that I can use to call the group if I run into any trouble.

I know how you feel. My older sister has early onset Alzheimer's. She's only 57 and is otherwise healthy. It's heartbreaking to watch the slow deterioration and to know what my BIL will have to deal with for the rest of his life.
