Popular Post petitepedal ★ Posted March 10, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 10, 2022 Shower, do some personal grooming, change your clothing on a regular basis..especially if the front of your shirt resembles a bib...If you are going to a public space..or eating at a table with others...I should not be smelling g your unwashed body or clothes.. Hard enough to type out this reminder..it was harder to have a heart to heart with a resident who is known to have other issues.

The beard is what get's neglected. And, if I didn't ride (and sweat), showers wouldn't be as often as they should be. So, your comment was "funny" (related to me) but also "sad" as I think lack of hygiene is often tied to mental illness - and that is hella tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coffee stains are far less noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted March 10, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 10, 2022 I walked into the office Tuesday AM with my company logo t shirt on inside out and backwards...... Our CFO was nice enough to tell me. He did not mention any odors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petitepedal ★ Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share #8 Posted March 10, 2022 Hey...I have dripped my share of tea or diet coke on a shirt front..its the globs of spaghetti from dinner 3 days ago or Sundays gravy on the shirt front..sometimes both..cos it's the same shirt...that makes a difference... And I am guessing if the farmer or rancher is going to town ...and knows he will be eating at a restaurant...a quick wash up is on the agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do clean up and some don't. I am in the latter group, but I have a spiffy clean wife. She just doesn't walk with me. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted March 10, 2022 Share #10 Posted March 10, 2022 From my youth, us men folk ate at a small greasy spoon commonly referred to as "Cockroach's". The aroma of hog feces from farm clothes and boots was stronger than the burning grease off the hamburgers in back. Less of a problem in the summer than winter because windows and doors were open. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, we eat at the same table or booth. I think she is more embarrassed by the old dirty caps I wear. I sweat a lot and when it is dusty, they don't look good for very long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted March 10, 2022 Share #13 Posted March 10, 2022 Does the resident suffer from depression or cognitive issues? Sounds like a sad situation for the resident, but also hard for the other people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share #14 Posted March 10, 2022 Well...I think of the little old ladies here who dress up to come to dinner..cos it is the highlight of their day...and they sit across from the guy who last bathed before the snow started to fly.. I remember eating around a picnic table with a bunch of smelly cyclists..I didn't wilt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He relies on you, and on the other residents, to remind him he still matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted March 10, 2022 Share #16 Posted March 10, 2022 We had a nice time at the Assisted Living facility people watching 2 elderly men. They were watching a TV Polka show. One was crabby and when the announcer was talking yelled out “stop talking and play the damn music”. The other was in a state of rapture, singing along, marveling at the 8 year old guest drummer, and laughing hysterically at the lyrics “I stepped out for a beer and didn’t come home for a year”. Didn’t get close enough to observe any hygiene issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted March 10, 2022 Share #19 Posted March 10, 2022 I showered twice yesterday, do I still need to shower today? I showered before my doctor appointment and again before my date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
