FIL: I haven't had any Blood of Life today.

Me: ???

FIL: Ovaltine.

Me: you mean "gateway to diabetes" don't you?

FIL: I'm too big to catch diabetes.

I Grocery Shop for My Blind Mom who is borderline diabetic and She still insist on be buying Ice Cream and A Cake.

I do admit she has cut back on the sugary items but what She does eat is increasing Her risk.
Part of the Problem is that Food in general does not taste good to Her as it used to.

Try telling either one of your Parents what to do.

Maybe this is a good place for this story.
2 Weeks ago our Neighbors 97 Year old Father went to Church, Went to Lunch and came Home and told his Daughter "Linda I am going to die now"; laid down in Bed and died peacefully.

This seems like a good death to Me. He died at Home with his relatives/loved ones in the House and did not stuffer.

Come on Jim, half the fun of Ed is his logic. You do realize someday you will have a lot of fun doing stand up comedy with all the material he has given you.
