Dad’s Brutally Honest as usual 😂 (this time about my poems)

This was a nice happy chat with Dad. He gets his fill in and declines an invitation to hear one of my poems 😆. A lot of laughing and smiling. Good vibes today.

[@jacquelinelombard1475]

Would you like to hear a poem? “Not necessarily.” 😄

[@LinneaSanchez]

I love it! 😂

[@roofth]

I cackled at that 😅

[@LenoreIsAStar]

I would love to hear a poem!

[@AMFJ4]

​does he really write poetry? I'm curious too... 😊

[@remediosobert2769]

That was a funny answer. Hahaha 🤣

[@johnnybaggins777]

You know it's really something that Ed just doesn't comprehend how famous he really is. So many people love that old man and rightfully so.

[@katierojas8066]

I wish I had a dad like this. He’s so sweet and positive and thoughtful.

[@francesthompson1324]

That smile. Thank you for sharing. So happy and alzheimer's hasn't taken his good nature and gentlemanly ways. 💜

[@lindathompson9334]

I love Ed saying, "not necessarily,no!". Hilarious.😊

[@Florabebe777]

Pop has got so much charisma. I love that he's able to be honest and still polite

[@TrinaMichelle81]

Ed, The One and Only, does not want to hear Dan’s poems 😂 I like your poetry Dan!

[@dsalnorcal1434]

Nope. 😂. Brutally honest

[@audreysargent3518]

I want to hear your poetry Dan. Where can I hear it?

[@dsalnorcal1434]

@@audreysargent3518 I have a lot on TikTok. I will post some here from time to time.

Watching Ed is like seeing my dad again. He passed away 18 months ago at age 97. You are giving yourself and your siblings a gift by taping your dad. So beautiful Dan.

I can't even imagine why you would bring up the color of your skin! What does that have to do with anything?

Color doesn't matter! ❤

[@ivyd5485]

No one cares that you’re black 😂😂😂 wth has that got to do with anything I’m black too btw but my color has nothing to do with relating to a human being who’s being cared for by his family - it’s a common human experience any color can relate to

[@SpiritAnimal1212]

Dr. Ed is savage💙! He pulls no punches. Doesn’t waffle and gets to the point. Dan: “would you like to hear one of my poems”; Dr. Ed: “not necessarily, no” 🤣🤣🤣

[@Lisa-Peter7875]

Haha, I love the way he is straight to the point. He is such a humble, caring man. ❤

[@genakez7797]

😂 😅

[@hughschick6847]

Gonna have to agree w Ed on that one.

[@alicesule5388]

Dr Ed really likes the fact that you’re an Attorney. He does not want you to trade it for anything else

[@moniqueduval6441]

Instead of "Coffee Talk with Linda Richman," It's "Coffee Talk with Ed Salinger!" Ed was really on form today! Whatever he may forget, he always remembers to commend you for your accomplishments, and wish you well, and thank you! I love the little twinkle in his eye! And don't feel bad, Dan, I write poetry too and no-one wants to hear mine, either! ❤

[@dimakatsoserekoeng8989]

I would

Sry, I'll pass too Grandpa. Lol!

[@AmyMarlaSchwartz]

I love both of you! My dad passed away at 89 a few years ago and he had dementia for a while. Ed reminds me a lot of my dad. He says very similar stuff, ie wanting to drive his car, etc. Dan is a gem! Ed is sweet and cares!

[@Joyfully8888]

Grandpa is so proud of you Dan!! I love it when Grandpa laughs because he immediately makes me laugh!! Yes, Grandpa can be brutally honest and I love that about him. 🥰

"Would you like to hear a poem?" ..."Not necessarily!" Pops the literary critic😅

[@jerischopp6998]

Honestly, I'd rather not hear them either - just talk to your dad Dan

[@samanthainger6958]

I cracked up, 'not necessarily no,' when Dan asked Ed if he wanted to hear a poem he'd written!

[@deborahhicks7699]

He does as least as he can to take care of Ed DANIELLE IS THE HERO, DOING TOO MUCH FOR THE OLD MAN!😊

[@PorchHonkey]

​@@lindadavy6641Is it possible to do too much for our elders? Unless they just happened to be an all around terrible person throughout their life. I personally don't think so. If it weren't for them we wouldn't be here today. Way I see it if you changed my diapers and fed me when I couldn't do it myself. That's something that should not be forgotten,ever. And it'd be my honor to do the same for you if given the chance.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

How about taking an aspect of his former life that might jog his memory. Could be a song, his wedding day, a professional achievement to jumpstart the convo. Music, for example, in dementia patients seems to awaken something in them.

[@nataliep3038]

It's amazing to me how people think that someone who has been taking care of a family member for years has not thought and tried the simplest things. lol BY THE WAY he can't hear and he doesn't wear a hearing aid.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

@@nataliep3038​​⁠What a weird reply. It’s amazing to me that you’d be offended by helpful suggestions for topics to stimulate his memory since every video seems to revolve around him being surprised about his age and where he lives. And he’s hard of hearing, not deaf. Get with it, honey.

[@nataliep3038]

@@DJ-bj8ku My point is that caregivers know the people care for. To think that a obvious soution would not have been tried is insulting. And the reason Dan says he does not listen to music is because he does not hear well. I was just explaining to you since you seemed to think that they would never have thought of that.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

@@nataliep3038You’re the spokesperson for Dan now? Get a life.

[@nataliep3038]

@@DJ-bj8ku Not a spokesman at all. I thought you wanted to know why he says his father does not listen to music. I'm sorry, I guess you really didn't want to know you just wanted to give some advice. Some very obvious advice.

Well most of us older people live a boring life,his son and his sons wife are living a boring life also it cannot be easy caring for a parent that old and they are only in their fifties I hope I never end up like this because my daughter who’s a nurse has already sorted out us living on their property when we are ready I would hate to be a burden.

He also still had his wit and since he was a teacher, he liked describing what he was going through.
