Smurfs Log: Always a lady (leaving home)

#Alzheimers #Caregiving #Dementia #Photography

An elderly woman with short gray hair looking at her reflection in a round mirror. She is wearing glasses, a light blue sweater, and a white cardigan with a subtle knit pattern. She holds a tube of bright red lipstick in her right hand and is in the process of applying it. Her expression is focused, with a slight smile.

In the reflection, we can see more of the room, including a glimpse of a closet with clothes hanging up and a window. A small greeting card with several photos is propped up in front of the mirror, suggesting a personal and lived-in space. The lighting is soft and natural, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere.

Ladies and gentleman, meet the pro-dementia party. If Congress passes #Trump's big, hideous bill, 96% of #Alzheimer's research projects would have to be rejected.

If you know someone with #dementia, if you love someone with #Alzheimer's, call your Congresspeople and tell them you have enough cognitive reserve to remember how they vote.

Breaking: Budget Proposal would set back Alzheimer's progress. "By its own calculations, the government estimates that more than 96% of Alzheimer's research projects would have to be rejected if Congress accepts this proposal."

I've got a nerd #AskFedi question, expectations are high since we are on the Fediverse 😘

Situation: I’ve tagged mothers keys with bluetooth trackers. I hate this stuff, but she’s suffering from dementia and I also need some sleep. I'm using android trackers, e.g. the Google Find Hub. I hate this too.

Question: How can I improve the bloody “home tracking abilities” of these #%#@! trackers on Google Find network?
