Need For Skilled Elder Care in DeKalb County and Alpharetta, GA
It is usual for an older adult to become forgetful frequently. Instances of misplacing medications, keys, and reading glasses are common. The family members at home need to understand the seriousness of the situation and offer assistance as required. Often, the mental abilities of the patient begin to decrease substantially, affecting their day-to-day lives too. Known as dementia in medical jargon, the family members need to consider hiring a trained professional to provide dementia care in Atlanta and Douglasville, GA.  ​ The family members, especially the children, are dismayed at the events and hope to do their best for the ailing parent. Sadly, trying to cater to a person suffering from memory loss is not an easy task. Moreover, the adult children cannot afford to put their lives on hold to care for the patient with dementia.
Reaching out for help and hiring a professional with the requisite expertise and experience is the only way to care for a patient who cannot differentiate between the essentials and the frivolous. The benefits of professional care are immense, with the following benefits being significantly appreciated by the family of the patient: -
· Expert Dementia Care- Providing the right sort of care to patients with dementia can be challenging. The professional care provider will indeed have the required knowledge, skills, and training for it. The best caregivers will not only help the patient with day-to-day necessities but will also address the traits of dementia, such as aimless wandering, and/or aggression effectively.
· Improved Safety- With the patient forgetting most things, ensuring their safety becomes the most important. Such patients are known to slip and fall frequently and may touch live electric wires without knowing the consequences. The care provider is responsible for keeping a watchful eye on the patient 24/7. Moreover, the care provider can request the family to provide senior proof of the home to minimize the risks of accidents. Accompanying the patient on strolls, even in the garden, is essential to ensure complete safety for a person who cannot decide between right and wrong.
· Emotional Support—Being by the patient's side daily can result in recognition in patients with early stages of dementia. Speaking to the patient and answering their queries regularly can help convey friendship and companionship. The patient thus feels assured and loved once again. Indulging in activities regularly can help them improve their mental cognition slowly but surely.
· Support for Family & Caregivers- Looking after a patient with dementia can be highly demanding. Raising the voice does not work in such cases, especially when the patient cannot recall anything. Having a trained care provider take on this responsibility can be immensely helpful for the family and the existing care provider, who will have their responsibilities reduced and made manageable.
It is common to be diagnosed with many health conditions in advanced age. Hiring a professional for elder care in DeKalb County and Alpharetta, GA, can be effective in many ways. The resident can continue to live in familiar surroundings without being compelled to move into assisted living facilities.

Pamala Wainwright, 38
Tumblr media
On January 15, 1987, Pamala Wainwright was admitted to Shallowford Community Hospital in Dunwoody, Georgia to have an abortion and a tubal ligation. She never walked out.
Pamala was a married mother of 3 (counting the baby she was 11 weeks pregnant with). One of her kids had Down Syndrome, but it is unknown if this played a part in Pamala’s reasoning to have an abortion.
The next day, Pamala was taken to the operating room. Wendell Phillips was the abortionist who killed Pamala and her third baby.
The abortion was done with a method known as a carbon dioxide abortion, which involved putting a needle into the mother’s abdomen and pumping carbon dioxide to kill the unborn baby. I have been able to find almost no information on this method outside of Pamala’s case.
Phillips did not bother to make sure he put the needle in the right place. He pumped carbon dioxide gas directly into Pamala’s bloodstream, causing vapor lock in her heart that induced cardiac arrest. She was killed almost instantly.
On January 16, 1987, Pamala’s husband became a widower and the father of a dead child. He was left to raise his surviving children as a single father. Had Pamala never undergone an abortion, he would probably have soon celebrated the birth of a family member instead of mourning the deaths of two.

"Apostles of Mercy" by Lindsay Ellis is out now! And she's going on book tour in the U.S. for the first time for the Noumena series!
Hey remember when the pandemic sidelined all her plans to go on book tour for Axiom's End so she did a ton of interviews instead, and then a book tour didn't really happen for Truth of the Divine? YEAH! "HOLY SHIT!" IS RIGHT!!

Reasons To Consider Buying Homeowners Insurance in Paso Robles and Santa Maria, CA
Every trade requires the usage of specified equipment and tools that skilled workers wield. No one can continue with their designated tasks without using the right tools, from contractors to single workers. Such equipment becomes a must-have for those who work with their hands. From the construction industry to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, there is no area where specialized tools fail to be utilized. Protecting them is of utmost importance, therefore. Almost all workers find the tools and equipment insurance in Oceano and DeKalb County, GA, to effectively preserve their tools and livelihood simultaneously. ​ Alternatively known as equipment floater insurance, independent contractors, subcontractors, and tradesmen are expected to carry this type of small business insurance policy. The insurance carrier will compensate for theft, damage, and/or lost equipment regardless of where the tools were stored.
Most users are not initially convinced of buying yet another insurance coverage apart from the BOP. Carrying this insurance plan can be beneficial for the following individuals:
· Appliance repair technicians · Carpenters & Woodworkers · Engaged in Concrete business · Belonging to the Construction industry · Electricians · Operating an Installation business · Landscaper · Plumber · Tree service contractor · Welder The list mentioned above is not exhaustive by any means. Every individual who earns with the help of a trade is advised to be covered by the tools and equipment insurance plan
The insurance buyer can choose between the following types of insurance policy to obtain the best protection for the equipment used:
· Open perils policy- This policy will cover loss and damage to the mentioned tools & equipment in all circumstances except those specifically mentioned in the list of exclusions
· Named perils policy- The coverage is limited to the damage or loss caused due to explicitly mentioned reasons.
It is not surprising to understand that the latter policy is more affordable as it includes coverage for only a few selected scenarios
The perils that are usually included and accepted for compensation by the insurance carrier include the following:-
· Hail · Lightning · Lost items · Theft · Vandalism · High Wind · Fire
It is also essential to inquire about the coverage of specific tools used extensively for working on a project, either on-site or off-site. The equipment that is covered by insurance has to be valued at less than $ 10,000 and in relatively new condition. This type of insurance plan does not cover the tools that are more than 5 years old.
It is vital to review the insurance documents to understand the exclusions as well. Obliviousness to this aspect can result in financial loss.
Apart from securing the business and the tools, it is also essential to think about the home. Buying the right homeowners insurance in Paso Robles and Santa Maria, CA, can enable one to obtain relief from financial hardship when the property is affected by a natural disaster.

I have so many pictures in boxes, my sisters have pictures in boxes - little one and I are sorta nearby now. Middle one is across the country. US.
Our parents died before we were adults. I am the oldest.
Middle one has the great quilts our mom made. Littlest one has her wedding dress.
We each have different photo albums. They're truly one of my most protected things. They each have theirs. We went through them like kids, cause we essentially were.
I live in Atlanta - core Atlanta - and I have our mother's GSU (GA STATE UNIVERSITY) master's degree, framed.
Everything is silly, but that mattered to me and how she got it. She lost her mom when she was very young, had people in a fucked up Southern Baptist church tell my grandfather to give her and my uncle up, and they said nope together.
Said grandfather called me by her name - my mom's and his wife's (who I never met, but I'm named after and she is HOT in pictures, but also, eek) when he was too stubborn to go to a doctor for his heart, nevermind everything. He died after my mom because I don't think he could take the same thing twice.
Same cancer, same look.
That said, I remember my mom. My sisters didn't have that privilege. I was holding her hand before she had to go to hospice, for her own comfort. I was there whispering in her ear that I'd make sure they'd be okay. Literally. We had in home hospice care, but at a certain point death was real.
There is so much more to our story, her story, but I will FUCK OVER with my full heart who tries to call GSU and her love of teaching and her degree over.
The way my lunch ladies, my sister's teachers, counselors that were both DeKalb and Gwinnett, parents who met her once when she was a nothing in a shared office and made time and told me about it, and more came to her funeral will always be one of the most glorious moments of my life.
Our mom dying wasn't all bad. She's always why I will support public schools, will always support women, and will always make uncomfortable choices if necessary.
Trump might say that school where she got her Master's degree is too liberal, but mostly it's because he's racist and stupid. And he can't fill the seat. He doesn't know Atlanta. Or anyone from here. He's an ugly human. And that is me being kind.
Please vote blue. Thank you.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — UPDATE: This appearance has been pushed back, with DeKalb Police telling 11Alive the mom is currently in the hospital.
Original story below
A mother whose 7-year-old daughter was found dead in a closet - described by the man who found her as looking like a "mummy" - is due in court on Monday.
Alondra Hobbs, charged with felony murder and second degree cruelty in Alivia Hobbs-Jordan's death, will have a first appearance in DeKalb County court. The proceeding is scheduled for 1 p.m.
11Alive spoke to the man who made the grisly discovery.
RELATED: 'She looked like a mummy' | Mom facing murder charge after 7-year-old found dead in apartment closet
He said he was walking back from a friend’s place around 4 p.m. Sunday when he noticed the front door to an apartment "wide open" in one of the buildings at Hidden Valley Apartments. The apartments sit back off Candler Road along Misty Waters Drive.  
He said something seemed off about the doors being open and said he could smell a foul odor as he got closer. As he entered the one-bedroom apartment, he said the lights were off and it was obvious no one was home. He said all the furniture was still inside and things left on the counter as if someone "left in a hurry."
The man said he walked back to the bedroom and noticed the door to the closet was open and something was hanging out of the door. He said it was a human arm.
"You could tell it was a young girl by what she had on and by her hair,” he said.
He called 911. According to DeKalb County Police, officers respond around 9 p.m. However, the man said he called 911 twice but claimed the dispatchers didn’t believe him. He alleged he was even hung up on during one of the calls. He said he eventually had to flag down a security guard on the property to contact police. He said once they arrived, they roped off the apartment. 
11Alive reached out to the police department about the allegations regarding the 911 calls. They told us they would look into the claims. We are waiting to hear back. 
The man said it appeared the body had been in the closet for quite sometime due to the condition. 
“She looked like a mummy,” he said.

Southern Technical Institute In Chamblee, GA
This is a picture of the Tech-Lawson Apartments, which used to be on the Peachtree-DeKalb Airport grounds. Units were later moved all over Georgia and became regular apartments. They began life as dormitory housing for US Naval personnel during World War II.
Here is what I wrote in the SPSU Wikipedia entry, which was taken out because it was my original work and not research:
SPSU Wiki 8:43 PM 9/21/2006
Tech Lawson Apartments From SPSU Wiki Tech Lawson Apartments, also known as Georgia Tech Apartments, were located in [Chamblee.] Tech Lawson Apartments were used as student housing in the late 1940's and early 1950's. The structures were converted Navy barracks from Naval Air Station Atlanta, a base active in World War II that was also a WWI base that turned cornfields into barracks at the rate of 8 a day [from a historical marker on the Peachtree DeKalb Airport property].
Located on the Peachtree DeKalb Airport facility grounds on the East side of Hardee Avenue, the buildings were demolished to make room for new construction after DeKalb County acquired the facility.
Here is my crude map I made in 2006 showing buildings I copied from an aerial view of Chamblee from 1960. I also spoke with my sister, who was young when my family lived here and didn't remember much.
Tumblr media
This Hardee-Sixth area also had several huge H-shaped buildings that might have housed STI. The buildings that were the Chamblee campus of Southern Tech were also demolished, but it is unclear which part of the NAS they occupied. Some buildings to the north, in the old hospital area, were demolished to extend runway space. DeKalb County acquired the old NAS when the military decided to move to Marietta, where they could expand.
Tumblr media
My father at his desk. He was an instructor at Southern Tech for 14 years, and this was his office on the Chamblee campus circa 1960. All the instructors dressed the same way and drove VW Beetles.
At Halloween, students once carried a VW Beetle of one unfortunate instructor up a flight of steps in the gym and left it in a hall. The perpetrators had to carry it back down.
A common prank was to lift the rear end of these Beetles and the rear tires would dish in, which looked pretty funny! They straightened back out on driving.
Southern Tech probably moved to Marietta at the same time, because the demand for technical education included military and military-connected industrial needs. The Technician, STI's student newspaper, had many articles on this subject, and how what is now SPSU added many instructors to take care of the growing body of students entering under the GI Bill. Students who lived in the Tech Lawson Apartments came from mostly the Southern states, but some came from overseas. Few were commuting distance. My parents came from Edison, Georgia, at the Southwest end of our state. Some students stayed on as instructors, but most found jobs quickly.
There were two large buildings, and each wing might have had a porch on the end. They were in the vicinity of Hardee Ave and Sixth Street. The one North of Sixth Street was I-shaped, and the one South of it was E-shaped. Boxwood bushes decorated the grounds. On the aerial, since the I-shaped building could also be called H-shaped, it seemed easier to visualize it as an I if the map is oriented North-South. The E-shaped building has all three "legs" or "wings" pointing North. There is a stub on the right side of the E pointing East.
From photographs around the Spaeths' apartment, a swing set with two swings stood, a small porch with steps wide enough for maybe 8 people to sit, and the 2nd story had a smaller balcony with steps down. Another part of the building is visible in some photographs, but not enough shows to determine whether this was the I-shaped or E-shaped building. The top and bottom of the I, from the aerial view, were very long wings, but the three parts of the E were longer wings, with a little extension at the bottom of the E that would make a short wing. There must've been miles of hallways in these two buildings! In the aerial, the only place a porch makes sense is at the end of each wing [which I called a "leg" in my other page].
Tumblr media
The 'buzz cut' was very popular back then and most ex-military wore it. Here, my dad wears a necktie, but later bow ties were the fashion for men.
Tumblr media
The back of the picture shows that my dad was still in the Navy when this picture was taken. He was probably on liberty [a pass to go off-base] so he might have been visiting family after boot camp.
Tumblr media
They often went to Stone Mountain, GA and climbed up. Note the total lack of fences! When enough daredevils fell off, they added lots of them.
Tumblr media
This was one of my parents' trips up to Northeast GA. Gas was cheap, even on a student budget.

This may be Lake Burton, one of the beautiful lakes of North Georgia.

Mr Sartain was apartment manager of Tech Lawson Apts, but I don't know anything about him.
[article from Wikipedia continues]
The interior of one bedroom shows two iron-framed twin beds pushed together. Perhaps beds from the old barracks served as part of the furnishings!

[I can't find this picture of my aunt and uncle on my parents' bed. There was also a picture of their living room with a small sofa that I can't find. Windows has a habit of losing pictures occasionally when you have a large collection. There is little on the Internet about this, but Microsoft knows this happens and it doesn't get fixed. Irritating.]
=========================== Talk:Tech Lawson Apartments From SPSU Wiki I added more information about Tech Lawson Apartments. The info about possible locations of the Chamblee campus came from a visit to Peachtree-DeKalb Airport [PDK], but I did not take notes, so this is all from memory. Also, what I mention of the purpose of STI and the job market comes from articles in a scrapbook kept by my parents, but they didn't keep the dates, unfortunately. I thought about scanning in the articles I have, but without dates, it didn't seem very authoritative.
I wasn't born yet, and my sister was very young, so we don't have a lot of collective memory about Tech Lawson. If any of you remember it, please write me! I'd love to know how students coped with all the racket from planes taking off! How could they study? Although, my father loved airplanes so much, I don't think it bothered him. He flew on PBY's at Jacksonville as part of a 7-man crew. They take off and land on the water.
We came up to PDK just about every Sunday when we moved back to the Atlanta area. Dad would listen to his portable aviation radio and watch the planes. We all enjoyed that, but now I wish I'd asked him more questions about his time at STI. I never knew the campus was right there inside the PDK boundaries, all those times we came down to watch the planes. He just said STI was in Chamblee before it was in Marietta, and I never asked where exactly. Mama told me the buildings were gone, and maybe I just said, oh, and that was it.
I have just found a whole bunch more pictures that show a little of Tech Lawson. When I get them edited and ready to upload, I'll be back, and you can see what I've been describing [through that tiny window the still camera opens].

Talk:Spaeth Alumni Collection From SPSU Wiki I drew up a quick map to abate confusion about how the buildings looked. Still don't know whether the three blobs at the South side of the lying-down E are the porches, or small buildings nearby, or part of the parking area, if that's parking. ASCS maps are not marked much, so there are no building or street names; you will see a city name. I did a lot of searching before I spotted PDK on them, and still didn't know what I was looking at until I visited PDK and someone knowledgeable knew where the old barracks were! I didn't get the map number, so my link to the ASCS DeKalb page isn't to the exact map. On the exact map I had to scroll through a good bit before I spotted PDK, and almost missed it, even with the runways pretty obvious…. Hope the map helps. I love 'em!

I didn't go back to this and now it's gone, so I will add the scans I have from the old red scrapbook my parents kept. Dad was Art Director of The Technician for several years, and he had a few tidbits in that album. Here is all I have.
