I love our complicated language, especially now my brain ain’t working well. I love the constant iterations, complications, devilish spelling. It all helps, and when I have difficulty, I cherish the root derivations.
Thank you, Joni. I put the youtube on with closed captions and was able to understand what the speaker was saying. I’m a TV idiot so my biggest issue will just be learning how to use the remote and hopefully get what I want to watch. I’m confident that between all the help setting up and the FAQ’s I will master it eventually. Your explanation was very helpful. Cheerie
Thank you, Milt! This article goes straight to the point of poetry. I am unschooled in this art form, generally avoiding it, but your article opened my eyes a bit – well done! Glad you folks moved to the Manor.
So Miss Joni, I watched the man with terrible diction on the site you’re recommended to learn about DirectTV. I’m more confused now than ever. First, we need a person who speaks clearly. Second, we need that person to explain the vocabulary he is using. Third, we need him to show us dummies just how things work, and he needs to do that slowly. Truly, I am lost. Felicitations, Doyne
When I moved here 10 yrs ago, there were friends on my 7th floor who would call each other every morning. A phone tree would also work IF all involved would REMEMBER TO CALL the next person. We all need to help one another….

Joni, thank you for finding answers to questions shared by many people living here. I just wonder if what you call “ a phone visit” costs really $11.50. Seems quite expensive for a reminder to take your meds. Just one reminder a day would be $350 per month. If you must take medication several times a day, the price would increase dramatically.
Perhaps another solution, just as a checkup, would be a phone tree among friends or neighbors. Assuming that every one remembers to call!
What a lovely story- so glad you have found RVM to be the right place. (My husband Wayne broke his femur on the ice in Dec. of 2022 and experienced a long recovery, so we know first hand how difficukt coordinationg the recovery process can be . Happy New Year!
I was so surprised when I read the first article. I agreed with it. I enjoy hearing what others say about something especially if they hit on something I agree with. And now the answer to why the banners are gone. Thank you so much for the rabbits. I have wondered about the Quail being our logo since the shrubs under which they had nests were removed and I never see a Quail.
It is great to read the whole story of your entry into RVM. We are happy that you are here, and look forward to getting to know you better. Happy 2025!

Well said, Bob. This is the sort of pep talk and warning that everybody needs to read from time to time, even if we’ve heard it before. PS- This is the time to put some warm clothes in your To Go bag!
My area is very different. Malama Way has 4 cottages,three solo women,one couple (no contact 10 years) 1501-4; below them1505-1510 Village Center Drive has three elderly widows,one couple (he’s the champion golfer). Two of our husbands were the coordinators when able, both died in 2023 at 93, Damon Simpson & Jim Stocker. We’ve had not contact fro, anybody. I figure we’ll roll down thehill into theMemory Care Center!!
What a delightful story, Eleanor. It reminded me of the hot summer days in So. California when my sister and I ran bare footed through our neighborhood, then home for a lunch my grandmother prepared – French toast with melted butter and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
