Hours in the Shelter, But We’re OK.

Last updated on: May 7, 2015 at 8:19 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Okies are kind to one another when disaster strikes. That’s what makes these things bearable. It’s also what allows us to rebuild and go on. We spent several hours in the storm shelter last night. We went into the shelter, then came back out, and as the second wave of storms moved in, went back down again. Mama was perfect the whole time. My husband just lifted her down into the shelter, and she was calm and trusting with him.... Read more

When It Comes to Caring for Your Parent with Dementia, You are Alone.

Last updated on: May 2, 2015 at 7:22 am By Rebecca Hamilton

21 Comments

Before I do anything, I want to thank Public Catholic’s readers for their caring and kind suggestions and ideas about my problems with my mother’s dementia. I am in the process of following up on several of them. You folks are the best. Next, I want to apologize for going dead silent on you the past couple of days. My personal situation drug me down too far to write. But I’ll be back. I just needed time to deal with... Read more

The Crusades, Christian Bashing and Our Two-Tier Educational System

Last updated on: May 1, 2015 at 6:34 am By Rebecca Hamilton

14 Comments

NOTE: I noticed a couple of comments on other topics that reflect the popular ignorance about the Crusades. Since this ignorant and inaccurate mis-use of history has routinely been used for Christian bashing, I’m going to re-run the series on the history of the Crusades. I will probably run it many times. It’s just a bit of light, shining in the lies-about-history-Christian-bashing-propaganda darkness. Our two-tier educational system has become essentially a trade-school education for people who live in most of the... Read more

I Need a Doctor Who Will Listen to Me

Last updated on: April 28, 2015 at 8:22 am By Rebecca Hamilton

43 Comments

Is there a doctor anywhere on this planet who will listen to dementia patient’s families? My long-time family doc retired a couple of years ago, and that appears to have been the end of having a doctor who would listen to what I’m telling him or her, believe what I’m saying and diagnose and treat based on that. What I’m experiencing is docs who complete the chart and ignore the patient. Worse for me and my dementia-bound mother, they totally ignore the... Read more

Apple Watch Review: Do NOT Buy

Last updated on: April 25, 2015 at 9:45 am By Rebecca Hamilton

21 Comments

I’m not buying an Apple Watch. In fact, as Apple obsoletes the many Apple products I own, I plan to replace them with products from another company. When Apple obsoletes my Mac Pro, my sons and I are going to build a computer. I’ll probably do another post on that decision at another time. Until Tim Cook took off after my First Amendment rights, I was a fanatic Apple fan girl. I’ve got a desktop, laptops, a phone and a... Read more

The Murderers Got Away With It.

Last updated on: April 24, 2015 at 8:34 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians? Adolph Hitler The murderers got away with it. Their success encouraged Adolph Hitler in his assumption that what had been done to the Christians by the Turks could be done by the Germans to the Jews, and no one would remember it later. Every time I publish a post on the Armenian Genocide, I have to delete a few comments claiming that it never happened. The “explanations” are spurious,... Read more
