From Where I Sit… This month, I’m going to put in some things I have read in lots of different places, that made me stop and think. There are a few that brought some tears and some that made me laugh and some that touched me because of a place in my life…

“If you saw yourself the way that the people who love you see you, what a wonderful world this would be.” – Josh Joshnson I think you need to hear this…

Just in case no one has told you this lately: I see how much you give. How much you hold. And how little you ask for in return. You’re not ordinary. You are the quiet kind of magic. The kind that changes people simply by being yourself. You bring light into places that were dark for too long. You say and do, just the right things to remind people of their worth. You’re special.

Please don’t forget that. Not today. Not ever.

“Butt load” is an actual historic easurement – 126 gallons of wine!

The average person produces enough saliva to fill 2 swimming pools! (not our pool, please) The King of Hearts is the only king in a deck of cards without a mustache.

Elizabeth Taylor was born with a genetic mutation that gave her a double row of eyelashes.

Dolly Parton once entered a Dolly Parton look alike contest and actually lost!!!

In Japan, it’s illegal to splash water on pedestrians while driving.

In Thailand, it’s illegal to drive without wearing a shirt. (awwww) In California, it’s illegal to jup from a car going over 65 mph. (Yes, they actually wrote it down!)

“You are not failing by slowing down. You are listening to the Season Within.”

Aurelia Leafsong Love, Mikki (the Pigs in a Blanket lady) P.S. It’s warming up now but the pigs still need blankets…

Things to Remember… BLUE CANS June 8th and 22nd .

Lunch Bunch – July 14th, 11:30 – Chili’s in Folsom at 161 Iron Point Road. (916-351-1118 for directions and menu) Call Karen Bramlett at 916-262-6687 if you need more information. Remember to leave your number so she can call you back if you leave a message.

I’m guessing everyone knows this, but just in case you don’t, we have puzzles and books in the clubhouse that you can borrow. We also have a nice pool room upstairs and a table for playing poker.

And remember that we have an assortment of wheelchairs and walkers and potty chairs which you are welcome to use (but wait – if you want to use the potty chairs, you will have to take them home first - )…Check with the office for access to this equipment.

Ok, ok I’m done now!

Stay Safe in Summer Sakeena Raza, MD July 2, 2022

Summer is a great time to be active while enjoying the outdoors. While the sunny skies and warm temperatures provide many opportunities for recreation, this is also the time when risks of becoming dehydrated and sick from the heat are the greatest, especially for the elderly.

Dehydration simply means that the body does not have enough water, and this affects its ability to function normally.

Elderly persons are at higher risk of dehydration because as we grow older our bodies have less ability to hold on to water and to feel thirsty.

It is important to understand the signs of dehydration and what to do.

The signs of dehydration An older adult who becomes dehydrated may develop: • • • • • • • • • • •

headaches dizziness muscle cramps lack of energy tiredness with minimal activity dry mouth low blood pressure rapid heart rate confusion dark-colored urine less urination

Dehydration can lead to serious complications.

Heat stroke in older adults This happens when the body heats up faster than it can cool off, like a hot radiator in an overheated car. Older adults are especially vulnerable to developing heat stroke when temperatures are high because of the aging body’s decreased capacity to adapt to changes in body temperature.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency and can cause: • • • • •

high body temperatures (103ºF or higher) dry or damp, hot, red skin fast, strong pulse confusion loss of consciousness

Immediate actions needed for heat stroke: • • • •

Call 9-1-1.

Move the person to a cool place.

Cool the body with cold, damp clothing or a cool bath.

Do not give anything to drink until stabilized.

An old man was tired from riding his bike, and decided to hitch hike. A guy in his red Corvette pulled up to give him a lift. When the old man brought out his bike that he had leaned up against a tree, the driver said, "I have no room for your bike in my car, but I'd like to help you in someway seeing you standing here in the hot sun." After a few seconds of thought, the driver said, "I know what we can do. I have a rope behind my seat. I'll tie one end of it to the rear end of my car and the other end to the front your bike. You ride your bike, and I'll give you this whistle. If I go too fast for you, just blow your whistle and I'll slow down." The old guy agreed to it. So off he went down the highway with the old man and his bike in tow. A little ways down the road, a young lady in a bright yellow corvette pulls up next to them. She gives the guy in the red Vette the High Sign, meaning "you want a drag?" Off they go down the highway, 100 plus MPH, the old man blowing his whistle like crazy. They zipped by a Highway Patrol cop sitting under a tree. The cop knew he couldn't catch them, so he called ahead to his fellow cop down the rode to intercept. "Car number 2, this is car number 1." "Go head number 1, what'cha got for me?" I got red and yellow Vettes coming down your way doing a hundred plus, can you intercept?" "Ten-four, Is there anything else?" "Yeah, you wouldn't believe this, but there is an old guy riding a bicycle blowing his whistle trying to pass."

TRUE EMBARRASSING MEDICAL EXAMS 1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her under- wear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs ---and I was in the wrong one .

Submitted by Dr. Mark Mac Donald, San Francisco 2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," replied the patient.

Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle WA 3. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered. "Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was alive."

Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson-Corvallis, OR 4. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while checking up on a woman I asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste" the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."

Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit , MI 5. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."

Lake Park Estates Homeowner’s Association

As homeowners in the Lake Park Estates Mobile Home Park, all of us value our residency here, whether you have lived here for years, or perhaps you just recently moved to our Park. As owners, we all share a vital interest in the smooth operation of our Park and continued residency here far into the future. To that end, our Homeowner’s Association (HOA) is known formally as the Lake Park Estates Association, Inc., and has been a registered non-profit with the State of California since our inception in 1991. We are asking each non-member to please consider joining – the lifetime fee is only $25 (or sliding scale)!

None of us wants to even entertain the remote possibility of ownership change of our Park -- and we put emphasis on the fact that there is NO indication at present that there will be any change to the current ownership at any time in the future. An organized framework such as an established HOA simply supports assured continued residency should ownership of our Park ever change due to some unforeseen circumstances. The purpose of this pre-established HOA is to assist us in shifting into gear with our option to purchase our Park should that very distant possibility ever arise.

We are stronger together: of the nearly 190 total homes in our park, we currently have 82 HOA shareholders in our LPE non-profit corporation. Become a member of the HOA and have a say in the decision-making process. We need YOU, your energy, your ideas, and support!

If you are already a member, please know we greatly value your choice, and welcome your participation, suggestions, and feedback. If you are considering membership, we sincerely look forward to welcoming you as a new member – contact one of the Board members now!

QUOTES 4th of JULY quotes My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!

Thomas Jefferson Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed, else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

Dwight D. Eisenhower This, then, is the state of the union: free and restless, growing and full of hope. So it was in the beginning. So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith.

Lyndon B. Johnson All we have of freedom, all we use or know, This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.

Rudyard Kipling, "The Old Issue," 1899 America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government, and human equality.

Adlai Stevenson May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this, our own country!

Daniel Webster Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

Benjamin Franklin It is the love of country that has lighted and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism.

J. Horace McFarland Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or to lose.

Lyndon B. Johnson

The Lighter Side Traffic Court A woman was found guilty in traffic court and when asked her occupation, she said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court."

He smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not run a red light' five hundred times."

Two Guys From Chicago Two guys die and wake up in hell. The next day, the devil stops to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats, warming themselves around the fire.

The devil: "What are you doing? Isn't hell hot enough for you?"

The guys reply, "Well, you know, we're from Chicago, Illinois, the land of ice and snow and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a bit."

The devil is absolutely furious. He decides to turn off all the heat.

The next morning, it's below zero in hell. There are icicles everywhere and people are shivering so bad they are unable to wail and moan.

The devil smiles and heads for the room with the two Chicagoans. He finds them jumping up and down and cheering.

One exclaims, "When hell freezes over, that can mean just one thing: The Cubs won the World Series!"
