Methinks its time I started writing MY Kampf!
Chapter 1
Let me tell you a story VP...
There are these two guys that have seen that the forum they write on has been taken over by a new morality that is working against them. Out of desperation, they go out one night and brainstorm about what to do about it. After many hours and probably some assistance they hatch a plan. The plan is to have a poll in which a president and a vice president are selected. It doesn't matter if which is which but one MUST be a TC and the other a GC. It also doesn't matter if the TC is a moderate or, as they see it anyway, a nationalist. Once the elections are over and they have everyones attention then the fireworks will start.....At first it will be a few sparks and bangs but mark my words when the final starts the whole sky will light up.
The plan is to start bombarding the unsuspecting TC with UN resolutions that have already been issued. As we already know, the UN screwed us good when they recognised the Greek Cypriots as the legal government of Cyprus contrary to the Zurich agreement. From that point on they have passed resolution after resolution on this one mistake because they have had no choice. So these two dastardly rascals knowing that think they will tie us in knots with UN resolutions. If.......If it all falls apart because the TC candidate goes against these resolutions then they still have a plan for that because it will justify their call of a BBF not being workable or any other government with our involvement for that matter....If the C candidate pulls out of office then I need not remind you what reference hey will pull out of their hats to use against us and so on and so on................................
Having drawn up the AKRITAS plan mark 2...They then set to drinking proper.....Some womanising was done and a pair of drunk yobs were released out onto the street where they made such fools of themselves that they caught the attention of the police.......Being drunk and in the grip of dutch courage...They thought they would charm the police to let them go......It was not until the pair made reference to whom they were in acquaintance with that the police realised that they had no choice but to let them go and maybe even gave them a lift home.
The following day the farce of elections on the Forum began....Unfortunately the two men got carried away with themselves and their self importance and decided to have some fun with the plan instead of carrying on with it as to plan......We now have a has been female Greek mainlander who they are trying to bring back to the fore.........And a TC that one of them has a grudge against.......The plan is lost but they don't know it...
The beginning!!!!!!
What up GR...Isn't DT around for you to ask how to react to this...I suppose we shall have to wait for the governor to see this in the morning......OH.. Will he be mad!!!!
Paranoia and Dementia
Things That May Help:
Don't Argue - Arguing with a perceived "fact" may increase agitation and anger, and may lead to a catastrophic reaction. Instead, acknowledge the feeling: "I know it's frightening when you can't find your _______. I'll help you look for it."
Make a List of Favorite Hiding Places - Never throw out the trash without first checking for hidden items.
Try Distraction - A new activity in a different room may divert attention from the anxiety of the moment. This rarely works if emotions have escalated, however.
Keep Spares - If certain items are disappearing time after time, keep extras on hand to use until you find the "lost" item. Buy in pairs or even triples if possible.
Try to Keep Caregivers Consistent - New faces may be targets for suspicion because the explanation of who they are and why they are there is forgotten.
Avoid Unnecessarily Announcing Appointments or Events - If your elder worries excessively about missing an appointment, wait until it's time to get ready to go.
Reduce or Eliminate Clutter - Remove excess items from closets, cupboards and drawers. "Lost" items stashed in a shoe are easier to find if there are only two pair to check.
Remove or Lock Up Valuables - This will protect aides and family members from suspicion.
Advise Family Members and Home Workers About Typical Behaviors - Let them know that they may be accused and that they should not take accusations personally.
Schedule a Medical Check-Up - Rule out other medical and psychiatric problems or the possible side-effects of medications already prescribed. In some cases where paranoid behavior is causing major problems additional drug treatment may be appropriate.
Listen Carefully - If your elder with dementia has a new behavior or a new concern, listen. Sometimes things really are stolen. Sometimes abuse is real.
