-- and then, I was wondering why my mother always referred to, you know, his second wife as that hussy. -
A
You know, my neighbors across the street, their mother was sick at times, and they, they couldn't handle her. So they put her in a home, and then, uh, the old Frenchman, he'd get a little drunk look round at his kids, Oh, you still need your mother. And that happens a lot when people are sick or they just real manic-depressants, they end up being put in homes, and it's like, oh, well.
B
Yeah.

But that's, it's, it's, I'm really glad that I come from an area where, um, that there's good people in the homes. But it's just as, it doesn't matter if it is, like you say, the best place, they still don't want to go to these homes. And my grandmother's real, there, I mean, she cries every day. This has been over a year, and she tries to make me feel really guilty. But I have to, you know, I have to put my foot down, where, where my life begins. I mean, if that was my mother, I would really feel a lot more responsible. I would probably take care of my mother. I don't really, um, when my father, when something, if anything happens to him, I don't want him put in a nursing home just for the fact I don't really want to go and visit him at a nursing home. And hopefully that he can, uh, get along with, uh, in-house help. So, he's going to probably, hopefully set it up so that he will be able to pay someone to come in and stay with him probably for sixteen hours a day, because I think that's the best situation, is when you're, you get that old and you've been independent your whole life, you don't want to go into a home, because, like I say, my father's eighty, and he's really active. He still has his driver's license here, I mean, you wouldn't believe what he does. He actually tows cars.

And, as the years go on, the tow trucks got better, more easier, and he went out and bought himself a flat bed one so he won't have to do very much work.

So someone like that, they, I really don't want to see them go in a home. He's got two dogs that are his constant companions, and he always replaces them. You know, I've had like, over the past thirty years I've had, you know, about seven or eight different dogs all the time. And it's like, you know, it's oops, Dad's got these two and the old dies and the young one goes for a while, and he gets another one. So I can't see him with-, without his animals. Even though it's very expensive to stay at home --
