oh my such good manners. What a change.

me too Amanda as you would think manners taught as children would survive into old age but again who knows. it is really possible another p erson on a computer is also a mylotter that wou ld be nice to know but people are afraid to be too open and I realize why too really but its sad too.Good manners should spread but not always I try to be a good example bu t it does go ove some people;s head.

hi amanda I am like that too as I can be myself here and not be shy while in real life I am shy and cannot confide in others,but here on mylot I can talk about myself without a bit of shyness or embarrassment either. I enjoy mylotting as I find many people who are just like me.

See I a the total opposite. I feel like I can be more open on the Internet then what I would be in front if people. I do not know why but I seem to confind a lot in strangers and I feel better when I find people that are similar and can relate to me.

hi hardworkinggurl yes it could be I am not the only mylotter here as I know there are some others who do have computers too and we do have over 1 00 people here.as for them knowing about mylot I had the privelege of meeting dumbblondedizzy ie Lori Olsen and the front office really buzzed about that anfd asked me all aobut mylot she had brought a list of all the users who wanted her to give me a hug there were 97 on the list lol lol a lso she brought me a huge bouquet of lovely flowers that took two vases so they were all exied about that too. so they are really interested in mylot.also there are others here with computers and I would not be surprised if theres not another mylotter here who may have read my other discussion.lolthey a re caregivers Hwg not nurses we have not one registered nurse here sadly . we do have one nurses aide though and boy is she good and efficient too christine,.

It is always that way in places like that. To have the nice ones makes life much better and some times you wish the other ones would get up on the other side of the bed or something would make them be better to others. I have been sick and had to have heart surgery, at the same time I had my other device changed out as the battery was low. It's for the seizers. I have not been on the computer many times with not feeling well and having surgery on both shoulders where the devices are made it difficult at best to type and for a couple of weeks not even able to at all with my right hand and very little with the left. It hurt so much. I still hurt and I'm not doing as good as I should be but hope to be soon. I hope things are going well for you.

hi moondancer five years ago I fell outside myfavorite resta urant and smashe my shoulder so had to have a shoulder joing replacement. I had tons of physical therapsy but did not get much use back in myu left arm. so one of the first things the visiting therapist did was get me to typine with my bad arm and oh did it hurt. so I do so sympathize with you trying to type.i have read about an implanted device for seizures. they claim they really work which is wonderful. So you had heart surgery too as well as on your shou lders. I hope you get to feeling better and better.surgery of any kind is no funl I just wish I had more use of my left arm so I could lift it up to do my long hair. well I am okay and hope you heal well and am much better soon. hugs to you from hatley.

hi moondancer where have you been? Yes I did pray about it and just maybe God helped them to remember their manners too. also there may be some other mylotters here. now days people are afraid to be too open which is sad but understandable to me. Most of the care givers are well mannered on the elevators and it seems to come naturally to them.Some indeed are very caring while others are not. lol

hi amibie yes indeed and I do think someone has said something to some of the residents as those waiting to get on were backed up so we had no trouble at all getting off. they too were using 'walkers so maybe they had been taught manners in their childhood.'kind of a nice surprise as usually all want on right now before the others can even get out of their way.

I hope your mom tells you she is proud of you as I am going to tell you, hugs to you. I am so glad that someone spoke to some yhere who were not giving u s any room as they were as polite as could be and I said thanks to the two of tghem and they b oth said " You are welcome" There is one man here about fifty'who always rushes to the front door to help us with walkers and wheelchairs, I embarrassed once by calling hin an angel,. He grinned and said" not more like an imp Patsie."

hi pointlessquestions love that black cat avatar.wow. yes me too asit was a welcome surprise to have lots of room to maneuver my walker off and let the other person get his walker on the elevator. one thing just struck me all the others were Asian but me so maybe asian have better manners than some of us Americans too. lol lol.

Wow, glen sounds a little like my daughter..lol Glad he is around to straighten some of those people up for you.. Now I am off to the dentist, see if they can fix my tooth better than last time and then I am buying a wireless router, WOO....

hi carm hope you get a good do on the crown so it stays put. I have had that happen to me too that the temporary crown comes right off and that is no fun. a wireless router wow that will be good indeed.

hi carm right a lot of residents here are considerate of others so its just a few who have no idea of how to act nor do they seem to care. nOw we have Glen Mayberry who is schizophrenic but while everyone scorns him as he does blather on at times, he has impeccable manners. He chides the others who will not move back and he does it loudly" move back man, those people cannot walk through you man, move back." and somehow they do listen to him.He amuses me at times as I got on the elevator all alone and he comes running up ,"all right if I ride the elevator with you? Now how could I say no to that. He means well and is always pretty up.So I am happy that a few really do care about others here.

Hi Hatley, wondered if you really are 85 years old as your profile says. If so I commend you for being active on the internet.

hi chris yes I will be on Nov.15th which is not too far away now and thanks I am still very active on the internet and having such fun mylotting and doing surveys too. all my relatvies live to be quite old good genes I guess. lol lol

hi chris the thing with being handicapped sometimes people do not look outwardly handicapped but they do have a handicap that allows them to use marked handicapped parking. For example those with Copd who have trouble breathing do not look handicapped but they really are. but even so the person if really handicapped should not have been belligerent to you , a simple I know I do not appear handicapped but I really am would have been sufficient. yes you really never do know. bu t healthy people using those spaces can be arrested as they do not have the sticker and are really cheating. I am so glad things have improved here and we can get off the elevators without having to sqeeze our way out. lol.

hi se7enthbird I have seen that too women with babies in carriages and the idiot people will not let her off the elevator, what are they thinking that she can walk through them? I am glad that somehow someone has got to them and they all are now making room for us to get off. after all its for their own benefit as they cannot get on the elevator unless they let us off first.

hi nanajanet lol I did not think of that but I have sent pleas to God to please let them let me out first and maybe he really did hear me. I thanked them and they looked surprised. they were all Asians but me so that might also explain it.Most Asian people I meet are very polite.

hi celticeagle I was wondering and thinking the same thing as we have over one hundred people here at Gold crest and there are others here with computers too.whatever caused the change I am all for it and hope it lasts and lasts.

hi celtic so far its really lasting and how nice that is indeed. a foggy day here in California and c hilly too. no rain but its just sort of depressing looking outside now. I am spoiled by our usual sunshine. lol lol

So do I.

oh my goodness louievill I am laughing thanis "knocked their brains to crank and start" whee thanks I do think someone somehow did get to read my discussion and told others abvout it and now people are once more using good manners getting on and off the elevators here.

hi chang maybe something somehow did awake their consciences and made them willing to allow us room to get off the elevator.It was such a pleasant surprise too. loved it.

hi chang for one thing we all were smiling and the air was actually happy so when we started off the ot hers just moved'back a bit and we all got along just fine. Could be thaqt 95 percent of' people here do have good manners and other times I just met the 5 percent who never learned to help others or pay attention to\anyone but themselves.

They are just in the minority,I think they may have an uneasy conscience afterwards.

hi chicksdigscars it is indeed wonderful and I smiled back and they reserved as they are smiled back as they let us two get off the elevator so they could get on,.These Asians may be reserved and not much for friendliness yet they have wonderful manners. and reserved is okay after all. we cannot all be just the same.

hi chicksdigscars yes I have met so many who have no mannerx and stand and watch a person trying to open a heavy door and steer her walker at the same time. Jess scolded that person and hurried over to hold the door open so I could get inside.the person in question blushed and walked away. wonder if his parents were as rude as he is. lol

all people should have better manners. anners cost nothing. but we have to remember that our parents instilled those manners into us, and maybe the same cannot be said for the parents of those who are uncurtious to us?

Glad things are going better on that front.

hi gardengerty now wouldn't it as so many places I have seen men and woman close a hard to open door on other women carrying packages and struggling to get that sticking door open. too its awful when you have to hold the door open with your elbow and also maneuver your walker and some businesses will have those damned rubber mats so your walker has to be lifted or the rubber mat wads u p under your walker.so when someone like Jessie hurries over and holds the door open so you can enter without any problem. yes it could be that they having walkers too know the difficulties and move back. its really great that they did that.It really pleasant now to get off the elevator again.

people say money favours the unfavourable.. but i think manners favour the nice people too! most people with no manners are also the nasty people!!

hi zandi and chicksdigs cars yes sometimes it even feels like angels and all but me were Asians. All the Asian people here seem to h ave been taught excellent manners at an early age. I wish more of us caucasaina saw fit to use good manners.

My mom has a thyroid problem hers is hyper. You have to be real careful what you taken with a thyroid problem even over the counter things. Make sure you ask the doc before you take anything. I'm like you I don't want more meds to take. I take too many in my opinion as it is. I don't think my seizers will stop I've had them all my life. Be bless that you can walk even with help. I was in a wheel chair for almost 4 years and it was a hard time for me.

Angels come in all shapes and sizes, don't they...Ms. Hatley? Even some in wheelchairs! And some with the name "John!" There still is GOOD, in this old world, sometimes we just have to look deeper to find it! Correct me if I am wrong, Ms. Hatley...either I led a sheltered childhood...OR there was a much bigger emphasis on manners---especially regarding mature folks and ladies! I am 64..and I still will give a bus seat to someone my senior, the infirm (sick)...physically challenged and of course, pregnant ladies, whilst I am amazed at the younger generation, sitting there with their earphones on...oblivious to the world! I can honestly say...NOT my SON, as he knows I would pull him out of the seat by his ear! Manners seem to be a thing of the past, in all walks of life! Take care...and Cheers!

hi pergammano yes it is indeed a great S unday. my son came and spent last evening with me and outside my roomie getting nerous as it was almost ten when he left I enjoyed the evening and his company so much too. I agree my f ellow residents in wheelchairs should be given the resp ect they deserve as it cannot be fun to be condemened to use a wheelchair for the rest of your life. anyone who can walk unaided should kneel and than God they are able to walk.My sense of balance seems shot so was put in the walker. but I can walk and am not in a wheelchair.

hi jerz girl it is sad that common courtesy is sort of a thing of the past., more guys will slam a door in your face than hold it open for you.but I am happy that more people here have woke up to the fact that in order to get on the elevator the ymust first just let us get off by moving back a little.

hi dorannmwin its hard to know as I do not think many besides myself have a computer. so many older people think they cannot use a computer so I do not know. but if some o f the staff talked t o the ones who are the worst will God bless them as it worked Ithink since I have always worked in the caring for others field I am more sensitive to bad manners.

oh my dear fanta no you just did not understand,. I am talking abut people here in Gold Crest who are now really backing up when we are trying to get off the elevator and how wonderful it is that they nmove back to let us off. I am sorry if some how I did not make that clear. this discussion is sort of referring to one I made earlier about how when several of us in walkers and wheelchairs have a hard time getting off the elevator as those wanting to get on will not back up and let us get off. now they are actually backing u p and giving us room to get off the elevator so they can get on it. no I was not talking about notifications. oh dear I have forgot to shcek my own email for notifications this morning. I am sorry you had 'a discussion deleted. did the admins tell you why it was deleted? take care and hugs from Auntie Hatley.

hi fanta knows funny when he sees it and if one is suny of course they have fun and may even be funny and Fanta do not apologize as you are doing better and better. practice makes perfect and you do write very interesting discussions too. oh really suny could you translate that? lol lol

Ohhh my God really I am foolish dont tell me sorry you always start great discussion my English is weak so I should improve my english and I will push myself for improving English. Mylot sending message contents is not significant. But I write I feel alone anyway auntie if mylot admin happy then fanta is also happy and I know you are also happy to join my discussion.
