Caring for aging parents can be a difficul time as we become the caretakers for our parents. This broad responsibility can encompass such services as assisted living, adult day care, long term care, nursing homes, hospice care, and in-home care. Whether you have just started caring for your parents or just need a place to talk, we're here.
I had an assignment this morning from my mother to go to Walmart and get her a new back brush for her shower. I went in but couldn't find them where they're normally kept. I walked all over the place in the store and finally came upon a store clerk. I said, excuse me can you tell me where your bath department is for items like a back brush or loofah pads. She looked at me like I had four heads and said, those are seasonal items, we only put them out at Christmas!
I just walked away. Apparently bathing is considered a seasonal thing now!

But the bristles were still as good as new. And no, I'm not a hermit who bathes only of February 29th.
I got a new one shortly after my old one broke. The bristles on it are worn almost to the point of being useless.
Sigh.
If you have a Tuesday Morning store near youi would check there. Or Big Lots
Seriously though, what department store doesn't have a bath section in the health and beauty dept? Walmart used to, year round.
Oh gosh Pep, that's a long time for that brush. Haaaaa.... I'll bet you were upset when it broke??????? Obviously quality was better back then. We go through back brushes like napkins in my house. Maybe if I spent more than $5.00 on one, it would last.
