Patsy....that may just stop my kids buying me any more wine!... :-(

[Patsy33]

I don't believe that for one minute gness!.. :-)

[Cloverjo]

They had to have a doctor's certificate to say she was allowed a glass of wine?!
Give her the wine, FGS!

[Patsy33]

I know Cloverjo! She's a hundred for goodness sake!...

[marval]

Good on her, she should be allowed to enjoy her wine.

[choux]

I fancy that more centenarians than not are reported to have a drop of what they fancy on a daily basis. Good for them!

[Cloverjo]

I hope that if I get to be 100 years old I won't have to wait for a doc's certificate to have my daily fix:))

[naomi24]

Choux, I agree with you. People in my village, on the whole, seem to live healthily to a ripe old age. We have some in their nineties still living active lives and still driving - and regardless of brand of preferred daily tipple, each and every one of them swear by it. If that's their experience, who am I to tell they're wrong?

[choux]

Absolutely, naomi. I enjoy a tipple myself but I can go days or weeks without any. I always enjoy a drink when I have one but with an alcoholic in my family I make sure I don't drink on a regular basis. Guess I just won't make the 100 ;)

You've tickled a memory, Patsy...

MrsO and I had an arrangement.......we were, when the time came, to go into the same care home and our children had been instructed to find one with a bar....... :-)

[Jackdaw33]

I remember hearing about a 97 old man in a care home who had a boiled egg for breakfast. When he asked for another one he was told, 'No,it's bad for your cholesterol'.

[Khandro]

naomi; I think you owe it to us to tell us the name of this village full of 90 year old wine drinking drivers, so that we may stay well clear.

[Patsy33]

I do lak a glash of swine..hic...hic..

[Cloverjo]

This reminds me of a friend of a friend who lost her arm through cancer. She still made her own roll-ups right til the end - somehow, I don't know how.
When my mum was in the hospice I was glad to see a smoking room for the patients. No point worrying about it at that stage
:((

[naomi24]

Khandro, I wouldn't dream of telling you so you're quite safe :o)

[Patsy33]

What a great idea gness.. I don't think they'd bother with their pills! There'd be a queue waiting to get into these homes I'm sure....

[Cloverjo]

Of course you need a bar in a care home. Oh my lord, what else is going to help you through it!

[gness]

A bar...a dishy gardener...and chocolate....bliss....no need for pills at all..... :-)

[ummmm]

Jo...when my dad was in a hospice they also had a smoking room and they brought round a drinks trolley every evening.

[Cloverjo]

Wow, that's great, ummmm. :)) So good. Can I go there when my time comes? :)

Sorry if I seem to be lighthearted about a serious subject.
