Web site that may be of use

Hello everyone. I've been lurking for the past couple of years. I'm not one to join in much, but every post has helped me some how. I found this website today (see below) & its a fountain of information. It may been mentioned here at one time or another. If so please forgive the duplication. Maybe it can help some of the newbies.

I'll come back soon to give some of my story, promise.

    Thanks for posting this, Texoma. Looks like some very helpful information on this site.

    Even though I'm not a newbie, something new is always popping up with dementia so I appreciate reliable resources that can provide info on something DH & I may not have faced yet. Thanks again!
