As mentioned in a previous post, my grandma (mom's mom) who moved into my parent's house when I was born 23 years ago, stays in a nearby nursing home. What you may not know is that she has been a resident there for about 4 years now due to a partial amputation of her right leg and our inability to care for her at home. Since then, my mother or father or both would go every single day to feed her dinner. My brother, other family members, and myself would also go on occasion. However, since my mother's passing, my graduation from college in 2008, and my return home, I have definitely been going a lot more often and in recent months, multiple times a week. Point #1 being: MY GRANDMA WHO IS DEMENTIA STRICKEN & BARELY KNOWS WHO WE ARE YET ALONE WHO SHE IS, is alive and well and still going strong which is quite amazing for being 91 years old. Point #2 being: My grandma's nursing home is definitely like another home to my family. We know all the staff, and they know all of us. We've celebrated birthdays and holidays, mourned losses, and shared stories with each other throughout the years. And most recently, we were all excited about new renovations to the building we all spend so much time in. And here is where the topic of my blog actually begins.
I LOVE SIGNS. I LOVE CLEAN NEWLY REMODELED BATHROOMS. I LOVE INFORMATION. AND APPARENTLY, I ALSO LOVE BUSTING OUT MY CAMERA IN A ONE PERSON RESTROOM TO TAKE PICTURES AFTER A SUDDEN REALIZATION FOR A BLOG ENTRY WHILE SITTING ON A TOILET.
ALL OF THE EXHIBITS BELOW WERE TAKEN IN THE NURSING HOME'S NEW BATHROOM. I'VE NOTICED THEM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TIME I SHARE THEM WITH THE WORLD BECAUSE THEY ARE TRULY QUITE HILARIOUS AND PROVIDE ME CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT. I HOPE THEY WILL DO THE SAME FOR YOU.
EXHIBIT A:
IF SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED, WHY IS THE PICTURE OF THE CIGARETTE IN FRONT OF THE STRIKEOUT CIRCLE?
EXHIBIT B:
WHY IS "DO NOT" IN QUOTES? IT "DO NOT" MAKE SENSE. IF ANYTHING, THE WORD THROW SHOULD BE IN QUOTES BECAUSE ONE USUALLY LIGHTLY DROPS SOILED PAPER INTO TOILETS AS OPPOSED TO ACTUALLY THROWING IT IN.
EXHIBIT C:
HOW DOES OPENING THE DOOR SLOWLY HELP IN MAINTAINING THE CLEANLINESS OF A RESTROOM? NOT "THROWING" TRASH IN THE BIN, SPLASHING WATER ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND/OR RELIEVING YOURSELF ON THE FLOOR AS OPPOSED TO THE TOILET IS WHAT MAINTAINS A CLEAN RESTROOM.
EXHIBIT D:
I ACTUALLY HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SIGN. I LOVE ALL THINGS HAVING TO DO WITH SANITATION! WASH YOUR HANDS, FOLKS: THE RIGHT WAY!
