I'm afraid they're going to play Justin Bieber in my rest home

Okay, so it should be another fifty years before I really have to worry about this, but if you've been to a home, you've seen they play music 'from the day'. And this is the day. And Justin Bieber... Taylor Swift... what if that's the future of rest home entertainment?

I could live with the kid on the desk throwing down back to back EDM - I'd be happy spending my last days listening to Skrillex, playing on an antique Playstation 6, chilling in a VR chatroom between meds and assisted toilet stops...

But what if... what if it's all Bieber? What if today's ten year olds think that's what we want... and we can't speak to tell them to get bent? What if there's no escape?

The future is terrifying.

I can't seem to find the version with English subtitles....

I really need to marry an Italian.

Taco PILLS. Plus, hoping to still have all my teeth by then. I didn't give up smoking for nothing! :p


Are you rather young? Lucky you!

I think it's most likely to be ground meat or meat substitute every day with a SLIGHTLY different flavouring. Your taco Tuesday is optimistic, tacos might cause havoc with dentures? But maybe red beans added to the ground meat that day. And some mild flavouring for a pasta ragu....and a day with ground meat and mashed potato.

Not much spice or flavour, in case it causes heartburn, indigestion, tummy upset or pleasure.
 
Perhaps now is the time to get in on the ground floor -
Retirement homes with different wings: the hip-hop wing, the heavy metal wing, the grunge wing, house/techno, etc.
 
Just to put your mind at rest, rest homes feed you the same crap we all eat, with less flavor to not create problems with whatever pill or medical condition the patients have. In other words, remember the food you got in high school, that is what you get in a rest home.

Music is played by the patients, unless said patient can't talk. At which point they get music as picked by their family if they can be reached. :eek:

Don't forget, being stuck in a rest home means the staff is paid less than you make on your retirement. Which means you can look forward to some of them abusing you, as in taking your stuff and taking their frustrations out on you. Not to mention using you for sex, if you are a chick or gay or not.

Trust me, the music that will be played is the least of your worries. Instead you will be worried if that big nurse will decide you want to be his girl, if dinner will taste like cardboard or wood this time. Don't forget if you will actually get your pills or if the supposed nurse that is handling allotment will remember your name, not to mention gives you your neighbor's pills.

I would like to live on the grunge wing please! Can I move in now?
 
I like the way you think!

Chill out lounge in the middle... free E. Hell, we'll have deserved it after everything we're going to go through in the next twenty years!

Wait, what? I'm going to be used for sex in my old age? Will this nurse be hot? And good with his hands? I mean, you're kind of selling this to me right now. It's taking the edge off my Bieber anxiety.

Still, if we're going to slow dance while he administers sanity to my back passage, I'ma want decent music in the background. It'd only be polite. :cool:

It is very unlikely that anyone will play Justin Bieber in my rest home. I'm nervous about some other artists though. Especially local ones.
 
The mere thought of them playing Justin Bieber all day long in my rest home has motivated me to start drawing up my breakout plans immediately. I just hope I can remember where I put them when the time comes.
 
Whenever I post on a thread, and then 2 weeks or so go by and no one else has posted on it, I start to feel guilty that I'm the one who killed the thread. Does anyone else ever feel like that?

BY then, SURELY, my fellow canuck will be enjoying his middle aged reminiscences. BUT, poor boy, will he have come to acknowledge his juvenile idiocies?
 
So switch your hearing aid to OFF. For fun, swallow a BlueToothed mike, don earbuds, and listen to your guts work whilst you sit by a front-loading clothes washer churning in time to your digestion. That always works for me.
