Joke of the Day

Betty's husband dies with $30,000 to his name. After everything is done at the funeral home and cemetery, she tells her closest friend that there is none of the $30,000 left.

The friend says, "How can that be?"

The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500. And of course I made a donation to the church...that was $500, and I spent another $500 for the wake, food and drinks...The rest went for the memorial stone."

The friend says, "$22,500 for the memorial stone? My God, how big is it?!"

The widow says, "Three carats!"

Did You Know?

Texans 60-plus are projected to total 8.1 million by 2040, a 193 percent increase from 2000. By 2040, the 60-plus population is projected to comprise 23 percent of the total Texas population.
The Texas Baby Boomers population (those age 55-64) totals over 5.6 million, or about 28 percent of the total Texas population.

Assisted Living facilities.
Who does the inspections and how can I find the ratings on them? I can’t find anything on the internet at all.

I know DADs does the inspections, but they don’t return calls and there is no way on their website to check on ratings for assisted living facilities.
I urgently need to get my dad into one in our area, but can’t find out if any of them are good.

  Yes there is…
  
  This is the website where families can compare nursing homes and assisted livings by county or city or by facility name:

Melissa, Our deepest apologies for this over-site. It was not intentional, please know that. We always list the ‘source’ of information but some how, it didn’t get added this time, I’m checking into that now to find out why. If you will refer back to that article you will find we have corrected this problem and have added a link to your site. Thank you for providing such a wonderful, and much needed service and again, our apologies.
