Mark enjoyed his carefree bachelor’s life in Los Angeles. He had no steady girlfriend, no children, few responsibilities outside of work. But that all changed when “The Call” came. Genevieve, his eighty-nine-year-old mother, was on her deathbed. He rushed back to New Jersey to be by her side. Hours became days, days became weeks, then she woke up. So, he moved back into his childhood home and took over her care. His first task was to remove all hazards, which included the current caregivers.

After, Mark asked his mother, “Do you trust me?” She whispered, “Yes.” “Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?” She smiled and nodded. “That means I’m in charge, and that means now you must obey me.” Her mood shifted in an instant. She looked him dead in the eye, then puckered up her lips. He wasn’t sure if this was a sign of surrender or one wishing him luck. He kissed her and hoped for the best.

The parent/child role reversal may not have been unique to Mark, but how he dealt with it was. One day, hoping to make Genevieve’s time on the commode a tad more pleasant, he offered her a cup of her favorite beverage. It was a hit, and a cup of tea on the commode became a staple on the morning menu, and the clear choice for the title of this intimate, funny, and heartwarming memoir of how eldercare can be done.

A Cup of Tea on the Commode chronicles Mark’s multitasking adventures of filling his mother’s last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.

A Time Like No Other: My Journey 1946-1967 by Ken Rand Kenrand.net https://www.amazon.com/Time-Like-No-Other-1946-1947/dp/1969865504 Historians have labeled the 50s and 60s as a ‘time of innocence, and many feel it was the greatest generation. In the early 50s, we witnessed the birth of television (in black and white). And it was live TV, where the unpredictable could-and would-happen. People felt safe, and it wasn’t unusual for them to leave their cars and front doors unlocked. In the 50s and 60s, we did not have cell phones or computers for texting and email. We communicated by talking to each other (sometimes for hours) and we wrote ‘hand-written’ letters; imagine that. Things were so different then. Milk and meat tasted different, and even tap water tasted better, (bottled water? What’s that?), It was also a time when women’s rights and the civil rights movement gained momentum. The world was beginning to change. I have two goals in writing this book. One is to share my personal life journey and memories with you, and the other is to provide you with a picture of what was happening in the world, especially in the United States, at that time. You will soon draw your own conclusions about whether the time in which we baby boomers were brought up was truly “A Time Like No Other.” If you were born in the 50s or 60s, I know you will cherish this journey and my personal stories. If you weren’t, then sit back, relax, read, and enjoy what you’ve missed. Put on your seatbelts.

One day they are dug up and carried away. Christy is replanted in a pot large enough to hold Paul-Paulette, but Peat is too big to get in and cannot completely hide. He stays under Christy’s fronds, but can’t disappear. Together with their wild flower friends, they are taken to the Washington National Cathedral to participate in the annual Festival of Flowers. While the plants are being carried into the cathedral, Peat is discovered, picked up and left in the Garth – the small, enclosed garden near the base of the stairs.

It is a tour of the cathedral and an introduction to cathedral architecture inside and out. A short glossary of architecture terms is included.

Episode Summary: In this captivating episode of The Chris Vos Show, host Chris Vos dives into the complex world of relationships and emotional well-being with licensed therapist Kayla Crane. With a career dedicated to marriage and family therapy, Kayla unpacks the intricacies of relational trauma, the psychological impact of infidelity, and the crucial role of communication in sustaining healthy relationships. The discussion highlights the importance of addressing unresolved childhood trauma and generational issues that often resurface in adult relationships. Kayla outlines practical therapeutic interventions for relational trauma, such as systematic affair recovery therapy and relational life therapy, which focus on direct, practical approaches rather than conventional methods. Key topics include recognizing when it’s time for therapy, how to deal with unresolved childhood traumas, and the essential nature of empathy and open communication in mending and strengthening relationships. Key Takeaways: Childhood Trauma’s Impact: Unresolved childhood trauma plays a significant role in adult relationships and can manifest as disproportionate reactions during conflicts. Communication is Key: Open and direct communication, even about uncomfortable topics, is essential for relationship health. Importance of Therapy: Couples are encouraged to seek therapy not only to solve existing problems but also as a preemptive measure to strengthen their bond. Generational Trauma: Understanding and addressing generational trauma are vital for breaking unhealthy relationship patterns. Constructive Conflict Resolution: Establishing conflict resolution agreements and taking timeouts can lead to healthier argument dynamics. Notable Quotes: “You can take accountability for contributing to your partner’s pain whether you agree or not. If they’re hurting, they’re hurting.” “A lot of people think when they’re going to therapy, the relationship is probably over, but sometimes the issues are fixable.” “If you’re having maybe a disproportionate response, that’s a sign you’re responding to something from your past.” “Relationships can improve significantly with just a few tools and open communication.” “Generational trauma shows up all the time, especially where trauma wasn’t worked on as commonly as it is today.”

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – A Big Mess in Texas: The Miraculous, Disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans and the Craziest Untold Story in NFL History by David Fleming

A Big Mess in Texas: The Miraculous, Disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans and the Craziest Untold Story in NFL History by David Fleming https://www.amazon.com/Big-Mess-Texas-Miraculous-Disastrous/dp/1250374308 Flemfile.com The incredible, untold true story of the 1952 Dallas Texans―the most dysfunctional team in the craziest season in NFL history. Rattlesnakes on the practice field, barroom brawls between teammates, bounced checks, paternity suits, house bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, stadium fields covered in circus-elephant dung, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, miraculous wins, All-Pro quarterbacks getting drunk at halftime, strip poker with groupies, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a cab. Nearly lost to history, this singular season in the most football-mad region of the world is a kaleidoscope of every larger-than-life, fictionalized Texas football folktale ever written or filmed, with one incredible twist: it’s all true. Over a fascinating, ten-month rollercoaster ride in 1952, in the waning Wild West days of the NFL, before television turned the game into a corporation, the forgotten Dallas Texans would go down in history as one of the worst (and, wildest) teams of all time and the last NFL team to fail. But not before defying the Jim Crow South, pulling off a Thanksgiving Day miracle against George Halas’s famed Chicago Bears and then celebrating with an even more infamous bender that would make Jimmy Johnson’s Dallas Cowboys blush. A year later, the NFL buried all traces of the most loveable, dysfunctional, entertaining team in history by secretly rebranding the train wreck Texans as the wholesome, all-American Baltimore Colts, the team that would go on to save pro football. A Big Mess in Texas tells the Texans’ tale with all the humor, drama, game action, colorful characters, villains, world-class athletes, civil rights trailblazers, and incredible plot twists of that legendary season.
