What happens when you try to feed him real food, does he flip out?

For my dad, every week, it's, "Bring me a 6-pack of beer or two, will ya?" I patiently tell him no, I won't do that. "Why not??" I remind him that he's diabetic and that drinking that much beer could put him into a coma. He denies ever having drunk that much in his life at one time (a lie), and then goes on and on about how he was never much of a drinker, just likes a beer now and then (another lie), and promises that if I bring him a couple of 6-packs (or a case), he won't drink it all at once, he'll only have one now and then (biggest lie of all).

What I don't tell him is that him + 2 six-packs (or more) of beer + Alzheimer's= disaster. Imagine, a drunk, disorderly, and dementia-riddled man wandering the halls. Ain't gonna happen. {#No}

He's a bit peeved that I make him eat real food,but it's why he's still alive IMO.He definitely earned his diabetes through his awful dietary habits.
Thank God he hasn't had a drink in probably 10 years.That would be the tipping point for me.I can barely lift him when he's sober.

Trying to get motivated to make Pops a double fried egg and ham sammy for his breakfast.I can make it soon and put it in the fridge because even if he eats it at 5 AM or so,he'll put it in a frying pan with a gallon of cooking oil with the setting on incinerate and refry it until it's as black as a lump of coal.I'll put out a bowl of Irish oatmeal to go along with his doughnut thing(one of those 500 pound blobs,I forget what the real name is.In the Navy we called them bear turds)

Then I can relax worry all night while wondering if he's OK.

Yay for me. {#Rolleyes}

Debating between trying for more sleep or the new Star Trek movie.I wish I could sleep more than 2 or 3 hours at a time.This waking up after a couple hours all the time is like trying to sleep with a really hot chick except there's no sex.

Gearing up to clean the kitchen again,which I did last night(Or early last morning) even though I didn't eat today and all I did in there today was put stuff in the fridge for Pops to grab(and drop all over the floor,table,counter,stove and probably places I haven't seen yet)
