And tonight she is on a literal rampage because she wants to register to vote because someone told her how terrible Trump was and he wanted to deport all women, or something.

TOmorrow is the deadline for registering to vote in my county. If she throws a fit about it I am going to tell her that if she goes and votes for Hillary, I am voting for Trump to cancel out her vote.

Tell her Hillary's health plan is to put people with blood sugar levels above 200 in nursing home and she wants to regulate ice cream.

See if women's rights or sugar is more important to her.

It's just to make her angry. I'm hoping she strokes out while feeling disenfranchised.

You could just as well cancel it with a vote for Jill Stein instead, and then you wouldn't have voted for Trump.

My MIL just went digging through the freezer for the ice cream I threw away 2 days ago.... her memory is awfully sharp when she wants it to be. She's pissed.

Anyway we had her take her blood sugar instead, and it was 282.

We found a diabetes doctor for her, she has an appointment this Friday. It wont do any good because she will smile and nod while there and then do whatever she wants anyway under the excuse, "I forgot," but this is step one of getting her declared mentally incompetent and getting her put away for a month or three to "get her straight."

I'm actually a pretty compassionate guy. Try to imagine what a shitty person she is to have me relish her suffering.

I wouldn't have made it as far/well as you have.

The wife's memory is almost as selective as her mother's. She has no memory of pushing all the "I need help" calls on me because she didn't want to deal with it, which led to moving her in because of getting those calls multiple times a day.

There are three threads I think "Is this the death announcement?" whenever I click on them. Shia, Kayne, and this one.

Have you considered hiring a court stenographer trainee to follow you around and record this shit for posterity? Wtf, dude? Have you considered going on a vacation for a month, just you, so their shared amnesia can work itself out?

Tell her she's not new; she's been a patient before ... just someone else's. If that doesn't work, find another doc. Even if you have to haul her to a large metropolitan area to make it happen.

So... is it happening?
next time her blood sugar is north of 300, take her to the emergency room and have her admitted, and there's a process whereby we could have her confined to a nursing home for 30-100 days to get her back on track. Not really sure how.

Wife says, "I'm too tired."

And that's the thing, it gets checked at night 2 hours after the last meal.

And I would bet she would physically fight to not be put into the car. She was a real bitch earlier today.

You need to keep the right pills around, grind them up, and give her a mickey'd milkshake.
