Argh, dad... it took forever to get my scarily-affected-by-Alzheimer's grandmother to even admit that she might possibly maybe have an issue or two. Stubborn relatives are great when they're in your corner, but very upsetting when they're refusing to take care of themselves for whatever reason. *hugs*

Thanks, babe. /hugs back/ My dad has always been like this about things and it's been a slow downhill slide for almost twenty years now and we have never been allowed to suggest anything to him regarding his health without it resulting in months of being frozen out. Yet, for some reason, we keep trying. /shrug/ At this point, we are all emotionally prepared to let him go out however (or however soon) he damn well pleases - but when he asks SO much of everyone to help him, a little effort would be nice, you know?

Art! Yay, art! I can hardly wait (but you already knew that).

LOL I have the Science!Bros art finished. This pencil/pastels piece is actually ballerina-reated. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it when I finish. It doesn't really go with my room decor. Maybe I'll give it to the Canadian Niece for her birthday. She does have a brand new bedroom to decorate!
