Yesterday, the House passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act that will help Americans everywhere make their voices heard. Now the Senate needs to follow the House’s lead. Call your Senators and ask them to do the right thing. Our democracy is on the line. https://t.co/QeADGFObbx

Remember when hooking up might get you pregnant?
The article “In Search of Nursemaid, No Internet Boos Allowed” seems to agree. (Tinder is not saying they agree, I am saying I agree.)
Internet dating for the aged is different that it is for the younger crowd. We see time progression in our profile pics and we may become physically injured during a hook-up. Is the participant in the hook-up required to call the paramedics or is it understood that it is the decent thing to do?
How would one contact next-of-kin if the hospital won't let you in the room because you are not married or related? What if the hook-up was underinsured or uninsured? Do you offer to pay for a hospital stay or urgent care as if it were dinner? How does all of that work during a hook-up? Remember when the greatest worry about hooking-up was pregnancy and stalking?My other funny articles may be found at examiner.

Seniors need the right activities, Geriatric Activities Should be Appropriate to Ability
Leisure time activities for the elderly blind take research and planning. A changing social order and longer life expectancy call for planned and sustained activity schedules that meet the needs of elderly blind citizens. Therapy can assist the blind elderly in staying both active and safe in the Washington, D.C. area.
Downtown Cluster's Geriatric Day Care Center, located in downtown Washington DC, offers art therapy for the elderly blind. As far back as the late seventies, art therapy has been used to exercise the mind and bolster self-esteem of elderly individuals, writes Jean Ellen Jones in an article entitled, "Art and the Elderly: An Annotated Bibliography of Research and Planning."
Some may feel as if art therapy isn't appropriate for the blind elderly citizen but sensory stimulation and enhancing existing skills is essential, according to Art Beyond Sight, a non-profit organization.
Regional Senior Development Centers
The staff at Downtown Cluster's Geriatric Day Care Center, appear to agree. They say art therapy is offered for blind elderly patients because it is an alternative path of expression.
"Art therapy helps participants tap into their abilities and strengths at a time in their lives when they are often reminded of losses and deficits," they write.

Music Therapy
Sunrise Senior Living offers music therapy at two locations in the form of sing-a-longs, dancing, name that tune and live entertainment. The Sunrise Senior Living staff feel as if music is a "familiar and universal language... nurtures the spirit and reminds...(the residents)" of better days.
The American Music Therapy Association web site says when music is used in a way that accomplishes a goal of therapy, it is then considered music therapy. It helps with "memory loss, general wellness, stress, pain management, communication, expression of feelings and helps with physical rehabilitation."
It is especially good for the elderly blind geriatric citizens.

Physical Therapy
Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home located in Washington D.C. offers physical therapy. They involve staff, residents and family in a "team" approach to geriatric activities for the blind elderly. Outings as physical therapy are available too. Stoddard's summer schedule in Washington, D.C. includes trips to flea markets and area churches. The sounds, smells and feel experienced on an outing are used in therapy. Additionally, an exercise group is a regular feature at Stoddard.
"Falling is a common and serious problem for the elderly," writes physical therapist John R. Mishock, DC, MPT, in a November 2009 Mercury newspaper article,
"Physical Therapy for Fall Prevention in the Elderly."
Using a the Stoddard physical therapy staff to assess fall risk or to help heal from a fall is a good activity in which to engage the blind elderly.

#RHOA Ms NeNe Leaks is NOT Playing!
Kendra looked through NeNe's window and exclaimed something to the effect that she liked what Ne Ne did with the table Kendra gave her. Ne Ne replied:

— NeNe Leakes (@NeNeLeakes) March 4, 2013
This all started when Ms. NeNe did not let the ladies in her home for the scheduled 9 p.m. catered meal since they were three hours late. She had friends over for them to meet and everything. No, they did not call. They showed up at midnight and Greg gave them an antipasto platter and Ne Ne sent them on their way.
The dinner party was @ 9pm! They arrived @ midnite! Bye Bye👋

Ab Fab is On!
I love this series. These ladies have kept me laughing throughout the years. God Bless them!
Folds of old skin! Shortage House? It's so British! Incontinence when you sneeze? Wet!
Menopause symptoms? "We have all these Michael Douglass invites and I'm going to use them!"
It is my quiet goal to live in London. I want to see how it is--how they get on and all. I may be my destiny.
Omg why Eds got to be fallin' down and going out the wrong doors? anyway Ab Fab is a testament to what happens to party girls after the age of 35. Okay 45. But at 50 there is a no go. Okay 60 is definitely the cut off age for women in any club anywhere. By that age, they should own the club. Right? (Another goal.)

Why Whitney the Songbird Died
The one point made I agree with is that no one really says anything when we know a person is in trouble. Maybe it is because there is a whole lot of talking and not a lot of listening or maybe because everybody else is high and wrapped in their own problems as well. Selfishness and narcissism leads to substance abuse. Believe me, I know.
Whitney's voice was a gift from God. Her fans accepted her as she was and we are sad she is gone. No judgements here.

Indiana’s Mitch Daniels Dishes in Newest Book
According to an AP story in the Post-Tribune, Indiana governor Mitch Daniels indicates many other pols have really sad and self-serving reasons to pen memories but he does not.
He discussed his book, “Keeping the Republic“ on C-Span’s Washington Journal in August.
“Despite a long involvement with public life, I have read very few books by public officials, past or present…judging by the ones I have read, many are written to justify the authors’ actions or, worse, to settle personal scores. Others aim to embellish the authors’ role or proximity to major events, and still others are thinly veiled exercises in self-advertisement,” Daniels writes.
