Would the Smell or the Noise

Also the main reason why I live close to my folx. We visit them and my inlaws almost weekly. Its very important to me that my son know his grandparents and vice versa. Family is very important to me.


Unfortunatly, not everyone feels the same way and retirement homes are filled to capacity with very lonely people.


If only everyone felt that family is very important. Then maybe we wouldn't have cases of elderly people being abused in retirement homes etc.
 
I've seen these kinds of stories on the Animal Planet "cop" shows all the time. All you need is two cats that haven't been "fixed" and before you know it, you've got tons. One woman had so many but she was afraid of being arrested if she asked for help. Another was mentally ill for quite some time and was a diagnosed "hoarder". Do a google search on "hoarding" and you'll see what a widespread problem it is with the elderly.

We had our own NY hoarding legends from back in the 40's named the Collyer Brothers. One tripped a booby trap and died in an avalanche of the junk they collected.

Cats In The Kettle sung to the tune of: Cats in the Cradle

DId you ever think when you eat chinese
It ain't pork or chicken but a fat siamese?
Yet the food tastes great so you don't complain
But that's not chicken in your chicken chow mein
Seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork
But Garfield's on my fork
He's purrin' here on my fork

There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place that I eat every day at noon
They can feed you cat and you'll never know
Once they wrap it up in dough boys
They fry it real crisp in dough.

Chow Lin asked if I wanted more
As he was diallin' up his buddy at the old pet store
I said "Not today, I lost my appetite"
There's two cats in my belly and they want to fight.

I was suckin on a roll-aid and a tums or two
When I swear I heard it mew boy
And that is when I knew

There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
I think I gotta stop eating there at noon
They say that it's beef or fish or pork
But it's purrin there on my fork
There's a hairball on my fork
