While a rather long read, I thought this too improtant NOT to share with my friends. :)
NO NURSING HOME FOR ME!!!
No nursing home for us. We'll be checking into a Holiday Inn!
With the average cost for a nursing home care costing $188.00 per day, there is a better way when we get old and too feeble. I've already checked on reservations at the Holiday Inn. For a combined long term stay discount and senior discount, it's $59.23 per night. Breakfast is included, and some have happy hours in the afternoon. That leaves $128.77 a day for lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room service, laundry, gratuities and special TV movies. Plus, they provide a spa, swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge and washer-dryer, etc. Most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have free shampoo and soap. $5 worth of tips a day you'll have the entire staff scrambling to help you. They treat you like a customer, not a patient. There's a city bus stop out front, and seniors ride free. The handicap bus will also pick you up (if you fake a decent limp). To meet other nice people, call a church bus on Sundays. For a change of scenery, take the airport shuttle bus and eat at one of the nice restaurants there. While you're at the airport, fly somewhere. Otherwise, the cash keeps building up.
It takes months to get into decent nursing homes. Holiday Inn will take your reservation today. And you're not stuck in one place forever -- you can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city. Want to see Hawaii ? They have Holiday Inn there too. TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem.. They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience.
The Inn has a night security person and daily room service. The maid checks to see if you are ok. If not, they'll call an ambulance . . . Or the undertaker. If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life.
And no worries about visits from family. They will always be glad to find you, and probably check in for a few days mini-vacation. The grandkids can use the pool. What more could I ask for?
So, when I reach that golden age, I'll face it with a grin. AIDS WARNING!

No,,,, Not Crispier,,,,,No,,,, I have your Duck Dinner Sealed in Fire Proof lined Ceramic Pots with plates and utensils, all you need to do is have an Appetite,,,
Welllllllll, having an appetite for Peiking Duck is easy. LOL.
Thx.
BTW, I carry chopsticks in my backpack. NO need of utensils . . . unless it's not cut up in bite-sized pieces. But even then, I also always have a pocket knife . . . when I'm not flying. LOL.
Oh my gosh, Peking duck sounds amazing. You guys are making me hungry again...darn it. One more week and I'm off the soup.
We would make a great Peking duck eating team AiRen, I also carry a pair of sticks in my go bag, that's really my always bag, and my favorite parts are the crispy bits.

My Dear, dear penny, you tell me when you're able and I'll start that day and it'll ready for you the next day and you get first cut!
are you starting this FED-EX/UPS Chinese take-out, next day shipment of Peiking duck to those of us out in the hinterlands for real?
I'm within 800 miles of you but that's still not very convenient for an evening's dinner! LOL.
I sometimes (once every 1-3 years! LOL) order bread from Dudley's Bakery between San Diego and Julian . . . they only ship next day service. Their date-nut bread is wonderful. LOL.
I don't know if one would need dry ice, or not.
I used to get invited to the staff Xin Nian Quai Le banquet {Chinese New Year's} at a local Chinese buffet. But they went out of business. And they usually didn't have Peiking Duck anyway. Maybe one year, they did. I'll have to ask the newer Chinese Buffet folks what it would take for them to cook some. They might for a price.
