Senior Lift Chair

senior prank is this year, and we wnt to be remembered...

other years have

put bubbles in fountains
put all chairs on roof's, and list goes on....

this are some we have thought of for our year, we plan on doing a few of them

if ur doing like senior prank these are a few we have planned for my school
1. put cow upstairs corridor, cows cant walk downstairs.
2. take all chairs from classrooms at night and put on oval
3. colour school pool with dye
4. guys and girls swap uniforms for day
5. draw a dick and seniors 08 with weed killer so it doesnt show up until we finish school
6. lift chapel chairs and turn around and bolt to ground.
thats pretty much all we got so far.


does any one have any more suggestions?
which are your favourites?

We put glitter in the vents. A meaner one was someone dropped paint balls in the hallway between classes.

If you get enough people you can pick up and move some cars. Also you could try switching all the light bulbs with ones of different colors.

I like # 2, 3 and 5 of yours.

So, today I noticed the advert. for one of those lift chairs in the sidebar of the "seniors" category. I can't wait for the Depends ads...and maybe the bladder control products. What do you think of this "target" advertising? What ads would you prefer to see in the sidebar (in as much as we are probably going to see some type of ad.) Be creative...I feel the need to be amused...

i actually don't notice except when i am reading something on the side bar. right now, there is an advert for a VCR. i think someone finally thinks we have a life or desperate to sell their products. ;)

ADS for:

*semi permanent hair color to tone down 'pink' or 'blue' hair.
*a clapping sound box when you get up from a chair/sofa/bathtub
*for driving lessons every week or so
*for polyster shorts
*for soft food geared towards seniors that's not baby food and it tastes great
*surgeries for removal of corns and bunions
*discounts for removal of hair in ears and nose
*alternative ways to style hair besides the 'come overs' (hair parted on the side, usually the part is near the top of your ear and swept over.
*shoes that are comfortable and are made for extra, extra, extra, extra, extra wide feet.
*an instrument that is not a broom stick when you drop things under the bed and won't hurt your back from bending down.
*a continuing loud blasting horn blows when non-handicapped/disabled persons park in a handicapped space
*mirror that make you look 21 again
*book that gives you a kabillion reasons why you can't babysit the grandkids without having to turn your lights out at home and they are believed
*better smelling moth balls
*alternative to the 'over the hill' decorations
*specialty store that sells, out dated items/items you used or had when you were a child

whew.

love ya.

We hired Home Instead Senior Care for my mother and have experienced SO many HORRIBLE problems that we tell EVERYONE our personal tragic story with this terrible company. Where do I even start???!!!!!! First, we had all kinds of promises over the phone from the office staff and then they became VERY PUSHY and wouldn't tell any prices but said they needed to send someone to come over right away to assess my mother. The lady they sent was also HIGH PRESSURE ALL THE WAY and told us my mother needed the highest priced care but we latered learned this was not the case as there are highly discount rates that were never told to us. We also learned later that this person wasn't even a nurse or social worker (she said she used to work for a bank) and she never did any kind of assessment on my mother as she was sleeping!! This lady PROMISED she had the 2 BEST caretakers that knew everything about caring for my mother but she told us we had to sign up right away to be able to get them scheduled. Then the revolving door started as we had so many different caretakers and none of these people had ANY kind of training, next the office staff was so obnoxious and continued to hang up on me and several family members when calling to discuss the issues and ongoing problems as we were LIED TO about how my mother was going to have 1 or 2 QUALITY TRAINED people that were to care for her. We were told if my mother had an "accident" that her caretaker would take care of cleaning up her and her clothes. This was not the case on 3 ocassions as my mother was left to sit in soiled garments for hours and she ended up with skin breakdown as her caretaker said they didn't know. We were told that the caretakers could help get my mother out of bed or a chair but the caretakers said they were only allowed to lift 20 pounds or they would be fired. We were also told that caretakers would take care of giving my mother her medications and then office said that their caretakers can't do this.
We had just 1 quality person that knew what they were doing out of 14 people, YES, THAT IS RIGHT, 14 people in just under 3 weeks that Home Instead sent to my mother's home and this 1 person ended up quitting due to being jerked around by the office. All of these people told us they did NOT get any training from the office and several said they were not even background checked as they were sent out to give care right after their interview! Several said they were only given a couple of small books to read and watched a video for their training is all. This company very POORLY pays their staff and provides NO BENEFITS as we were paying $20.00+ per hour and the caretakers coming to care for my mother only received $8.00 per hour! We cancelled this company's service but we were told my mother had to call and cancel the service! GET THIS: My mother has Alzheimers and I signed the contract!! Home Instead was terrible to work with in every way!! After stopping service the owner was pounding on my mother's door and STALKING OUR FAMILY along with yelling and threatening to sue us for thousands of dollars!!! What an incredible BULLY!!We have yet to receive our $4800 deposit even though the last bill was PAID IN FULL over 6 weeks ago and this was verified with the office staff and I have the canceled check!!! GET THIS: I just ran into an old church friend I hadn't seen in years and told her our story and she told me her family's nightmare with Home Instead sending over an untrained people to take care of her father. Her family discovered a Home Instead caretaker took and used her father's credit card and when this fraud was reported to Home Instead office, the company would NOT allow her father to contact the police - they talked him out of it when the family wasn't around so that the HOME INSTEAD company name didn't get in the news!!!! Home Instead ONLY made this person repay the money and then fired them. Too bad for the horrible experience the father had to go through and the family believes their father was intimidated by the owner and the staff! Our family is so completely disgusted about this company's horrible business practices. I know that we are not the only family that has been abused by this company but my hope is that no other family goes through any of it. For your family members sake as well as your own sanity I recommend staying away from Home Instead Senior Care!! Has anyone else experienced these kind of issues with Home Instead Senior Care??
For those of you who take issue with me sharing MY experience that concerned my mother, all I can say is please don't respond unless you have something positive to share. We are so stunned that a company that has CARE in their name simply doesn't! We are also not sure about what to do so thank you to those few with a heart that can understand and have provided where to turn for help!

When families are not medical people or experienced in this type of care, it is easy for unscrupulous people to take advantage. When a family wants only what is best for their loved one, these people know just what to say to "reel them in". It is cruel, and unethical.

I would report them to your local center on aging, you mother's physician, the states' attorney general, your local dept. of health, the better business bureau, and anyone else you can think of.

Be prepared to become frustrated at the lack of concern by others, and the inability to do anything significant to this agency. These people have a way of skewing the facts and making everything look good on paper. Even making it appear that you had unreasonable expectations, or that it was some how your fault.

In the future I would keep day to day documentation, and daily phone contact with the agency as well as the care givers. You want to make absolutely sure the care givers and their supervisors and you are on the same page, and do not be afraid to let them know every single time you are dissatisfied with the care.

Helps keep people active and independent

I'm a 16 year old female (almost 17 this August) and a Senior in high school this upcoming year. I was raised in a dysfunctional household. My parents have always had really bad arguments since I can remember. They will cuss each other out, call each other names, throw personal issues up in each other's faces (like my mom's father dying or how my father was abused severely by his father), break things around the house, and go to drastic measures to get revenge (my mom would only do that, not my dad). I have two older sisters. They are both out of the house. I don't communicate with one of them because she is using my parents and manipulating them to paying her car bills, her apartment bills, her groceries. She's very fake and is saying that she's afraid in the house. Anyway, my oldest sister is 25 and she's mentioned how growing up in the enviorment she was raised in really effects the way she communicates with people like her boyfriend. She has a very terrible temper where she can become physically violent. She too yells at the top of her lungs, aims to hurt people's feelings, and throws things up in people's faces just like my mother does.

I have been a very angry teenager. I was thinking the other day and a lot of my behavior of how I act when I get angry resembles my parent's behavior. The behavior that I've watched people react throughout my childhood. I've torn doors off the hindges (I was so angry at the time tha I'm still not even sure exactley how I did it..it just happened so quick and I'm strong from lifting weights), thrown a chair at the wall and there's a whole in the wall, punched a wall, thrown lamps and broken them, gotten into physical confrontation where I sent someone to the hospital to get stitches on her mouth because I busted her lip open. I also try to hurt people's feelings and tend to throw things up in their faces just as my parents have done. This is really destructive behavior and has really messed up some important relationships in my life. I just get so angry and it's like it takes over and controls. I become fearless and take out all of my agression and anger and pain out on whoever I'm angry at. I feel that my bad temper could get someone really hurt or that I could get in a lot of trouble one day because of it.
I'm coming out of a three year depression and I'm really trying to reinvent myself so I would like to prevent that kind of behavior in my future. How can I control my temper and let go of all my anger? I don't want to be like my parents when it comes to their tempers.

i didn't read it but yes children DO mimic there parents. most children's develop many personality aspects just like there parents. im not a psychologist.

Sometimes I feel good about my relationship with my hubby but sometimes not. Now is the time when I don't feel good. Our 1st born, a daughter is 6 mths old. My MIL likes to make comments that make me feel inadequate ie. Watch me when I change nappy and say "put that powder there on the red spot, you see it?" When baby cries and we are in restaurant "Don't pick her up when she cry." "Don't roll the pram when she cries, she'll get too used to it." When I play with baby, rocking her on my lap in MIL's house "Disaster! Disaster! Don't rock the baby. She'll get used to it." When I give baby a dummy "Don't give her a dummy." When I give dummy to baby to calm her "Now she's addicted to the dummy." When we are in restaurant and baby sleeping in pram "Don't let her sleep so much. She won't be able to sleep at night." I try to please MIL but I can't fulfill her wishes all the time. When I can't do what she wishes me to do on my baby, I had to explain to her why I won't do it. When my daughter was 4 months old, she started developing separation anxiety. She cried and wailed when my MIL picks her up n we were at MIL's house visiting. She doesn't give baby back to me n kept trying to calm baby until she gives up 10 mins later, with my baby screaming her head off, red face, lots of tears, she was returned to me. Every Saturday, we go see her and FIL, my MIL will "snatch" my baby up from seat/rocker, thinking baby will warm up to her faster if she does this more. At 1 point, as soon as my baby sees MIL, she cries straightaway becos she jus doesn't like my MIL. I noticed my baby is not like this with others, only with my MIL. Now baby is more relaxed becos I've told my hubby that me n baby not going to visit MIL until baby feels more secure. I told him, MIL likes to pick up baby even though baby don't like it and baby cries. When baby cries, I have to comfort her. When baby not happy, I'm not happy too, so we are not going. We didn't visit for 2 weekends. I guess my hubby must have talked to his mom. On following visit, she didn't try to "snatch" baby up from seat anymore. She finally realised there's no way to force a baby to like her. Now MIL is reduced to grabbing baby's hand and shaking it when we are all sitting in the car. She also grabs baby's foot and shakes it. My baby looks worried when she does this. Baby looks at me with alarmed look, I look away, don't know what to do. I worry about my baby's emotional and psychological well-being. I have not known anyone who likes my MIL. Even her own peers at the seniors association don't like her. My FIL said so. My hubby's brother blames my MIL for causing his 1st marriage to break. I'm not surprised becos she almost caused my marriage to break at the beginning too. My MIL has a rough personality and very clumsy. My BIL don't even trust her anymore with his daughter's care. I've seen how my MIL cared for her granddaughter. It was rough, lots of force, almost caused injury. Even shoved steaming hot soup into her mouth. The poor thing. I can't stand it, I had to rush forward to help when she tried to take the 3 yr old girl off the chair. Her leg was twisted around a chair's leg, the knee bumping under the table, and MIL just keep on lifting her up by force. The girl was crying. I quickly unhooked her foot off the chair's leg and shifted her knee sideways so she can be lifted out between the chair n table properly. I've seen my MIL taking a fork/knife/chopstick and pretending the stab the girl, asking her "I stab you ah, I stab you ah, you want?" many occasions. My BIL no longer leave his daughter with my MIL anymore now. I didn't tell him all these because I didn't want to be the 1 to cause a mother-son relationship to sour. But I guess he figured out his mom's child caring capability himself. If I tell my hubby all these, he would grow angry and said I'm always against his mom. He worries about bad karma ie. if I'm not good to his mom, my daughter will not be good to me. I told him flatly I won't live with his mom even if FIL dies. He doesn't want to hear me complain about his mom. I just feel so alone sometimes. I just want to vent how I feel about my MIL, how to keep on being nice to MIL and yet make sure she doesn't harm baby in any way when we visit her. How other mom's deal with their difficult MILs. I love my hubby and yet I hate his insensitivity and unwillingness to hear me out about his mom. I just want to listen to how others cope. Sometimes, I feel like I'm bringing up baby alone. My own mother is just as bad and I don't even want to talk about it becos it brings up painful childhood memories that I'm trying to avoid thinking about it. I hate it when I see other moms have loving support from their moms. I feel like something wrong with me because I have a mom and a MIL but I don't ask them for help with baby. I'd rather do this myself. Sometimes, I just want to cry but I can't, it won't come out. I'm due to report for p/t work in less than 2 weeks. Will going bac

Hi there! You are not alone. There are many people with MIL & FIL that they don't like! If your hubby doesn't see how his parents are acting and support you on how you want to raise your child then you need to ask yourself if this marriage and family is right for you? Your first priority is your child! If you think that the way the MIL is treating YOUR child then say something! You carried this child in your belly for nine months, and no matter what that baby comes first. You have the right to be happy with your life! If you are not and can't resolve the issues then maybe it is time to rethink your marriage. I am taking this class called Love & Logic and it is a great way to teach your child. I know yours is not very old but, I was never good at letting the baby cry till they could hardly breath so I understand. Try to get your baby on a schedule, or routine and stick to it. It will help the baby, they need guidelines so they know or learn when things are going to happen...sleep,eat, and so on...I don't know where you live but, there is help out there for you, state help,support groups for Mom's, so one last thing the situation with your BIL's daughter is a scare tactic, and isn't the right way to handle your BIL's daughter. Please don't leave your child with your MIL, go to the state that your in, and look for their state licensed daycare lists, and follow the directions for finding someone else outside of the home and family, somewhere that your child will get to meet other children, and interview the child care person...remember you are the parent, and are the person your child releys on to protect and take the best care of them you can. Your inlaws need to take a Love & logic class for grandparents, things have changed abd the things they did to raise their children are not always considered the right way to handle the situations with children now days...no matter how well their own children turned out according to them...Best of Luck, Cynthia
