[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 271039, member: 179"] Tonight was the ultimate challenge with father in law who has Alzheimers. He wants to go turkey hunting on Friday by himself. Evidently you can't shoot turkeys with more than one person. Go figure. THE MAN CANNOT HAVE A SHOTGUN ANYMORE!!! He already shot someone in the foot a few months ago. Next would be him getting lost in the woods and not have any cell connection. I've got mother in law over her crying her heart out...H over trying to sneak all guns out of the house (hard thing to sneak)...oh, my. I'm trying to explain to mother in law that he's a brilliant man who is losing his brain, but also knows that it is happening. It's very frustrating to him. Hunting/fishing/politics are his passions and he's seeing them slipping away. It ended up with me going to father in law's house and making the smack down. "father in law...you WILL NOT HOLD A GUN ANYMORE. Get it? You will not drive at night anymore. Don't make me be mom. You won't like it. I don't even drive anymore so get over it. Don't make me take your car keys. We'll go have lunch or something instead." He just looked at me and chuckled and said, ok. Nicest guy on earth...I love him to death. Probably one of the only reasons I am staying here. It stinks getting old. Abbey [/QUOTE]
