Ok....What do you need to have somebody declared INSANE ?

08:30 - Flurry of phonecalls...🤨
Hushed tones....🤔
Odd questions asked. eg: "Any idea what I did with my ski poles/flack jacket/night-vision binoculars ?" etc. Something's afoot ! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Where I live, a person has to be a danger to themselves, or society.

@SW-User Yeah !....This is [i]my[/i] worry !

@Picklebobble2 you okay?
If they deem you not safe here, you get a 72 hour hold in the psych ward. Insanity has to be proven in court.

@SW-User It's ok. It's just my mother and her crazy friends going off to do stuff that's likely to see one or more of them in some sort of trouble at some point ! 😅

Most women their age are happy watching daytime tv and pottering about in the garden !
Not worrying their offspring over whether or not they're liable to be arrested at some point ! 😄

@Picklebobble2 we often trade places with our parents as they age. 😂

@SW-User I love them ! I love the fact they refuse to live [i]down[/i] to stereotype !
I love the idea that even at their age,they flatly refuse to accept ageing as a [i]fact[/i] and treat it more as something of a [i]challenge[/i] !

But they do worry the life out of me sometimes !
