MeeMaw 0 Posted May 19, 2003 My hubby and I went on our weekly visit to see his mom at a nursing facility close to our home. I wore my fave T-shirt with Kirk and Spock on it. One of the ladies told me that she was trying to figure out a way to get my shirt. I was a tad confused but I asked her if she was a fan of the show. She said "Yes, from the very beginning!" She was so excited. It got me to thinking about when I have to go, or if I do, will I have my Indy and ST posters on the walls with my tribbles by my bedside? By then do you think we will have nursing facilities that cater only to specific tv shows? That would be a cool idea. The nurses and aides would have to wear television specific clothing and know about the show. Maybe that's one of the requirements for employment. And with ST there would have to be a OS wing, TNG wing, VOY wing, DS9 wing and an ENT wing. And at dinner they would have to have ST on the big screen tv. Sorry, I'm being silly now. Just something to think about. Katy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cptwright 1 Posted May 19, 2003 not silly, anything to make our final years here on earth as bareable, and pleasant as possible. so you go find the funding to start it, and were all right behind you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 19, 2003 Eh, I don't plan on going to a nursing home when I get old. I'll be the old guy who the family has to take care and annoys everyone, and scares the kiddies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrskirk 0 Posted May 20, 2003 I don't plan on going to a nursing home either. If, in the far, far future, I become frail and unable to care for myself, I'll move in with my son. That way, I can pay him back for everything he put me through during his teenage years!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddillard 2 Posted May 21, 2003 I plan to live long enough to be a burden to my children! :) Kind of makes me remember something that my dad used to say, about spending the first and last couple of years of your life in diapers, and the only difference being the person changing them.
