Murderous intent?

Well, it’s not the best thing to bring a diabetic but as one myself, I eat chocolate and it doesn’t affect my levels. Depends more what her day to day diet is like.

Oh I don't know. I had a 'friend' once who deliberately cooked her husband the fattiest, unhealthiest foods she could think of. She told me she was trying to give him a heart attack.

We're not friends anymore.

I've just read book where the wife overfed her greedy, much hated husband and he died. I think it was a Victoria Hislop book. An interesting idea!

Is this thread going to be the basis for a novel?

Sorry, I digress. If the story about the will change is true perhaps there is harm intended, but I doubt it’ll make a difference. A lady of that age with a sugar addiction is going to get hold of it anyway. DMIL lived on what my DD1 once described as a diet of pure sugar and lard and lived happily to 96. She wouldn’t have let anyone dictate to her about what she ate and none of us would have tried to.

Gosh if I get to 90 I ll probably drink ? by the bottle eat whatever I fancy and dance the light fandango
Anyone joining me ?
Yes!!
Not sure about the dancing though, I'll watch you!

Oh, count me in! Though I’ll be smoking again as well by then (I gave up when I was 25 and still miss it). Can’t wait to show off my smoke ring blowing skills after 40 odd years.

If she’s reached the age of 90 even with health problems, IMO she’s entitled to eat what the hell she likes.

I said much the same to the care home staff member* who told my mother (over 90 with dementia) that she ought to be choosing the brown bread sandwiches instead of the white.

*she was the only one, ever, who I didn’t take to. Def. in the wrong job.

In my experience : when the elderly aged 90 plus want sweet treats-they get them by hook or by crook .

My father ate at least four bags of crisps and four chocolate bars a day .

And if he didn't get them - he resorted to tempers , tears and tantrums and getting other people ( family ,friends and neighbours ) to get them .

This year ,he's had a very bad fall and is far from well .
For the first time , his appetite has decreased and he's losing weight .
The tempers ,tantrums and tears have increased , but his diabetic condition has improved enormously .

After looking at the OP, I really must tidy my cupboards

DH sometimes buys me dark chocolate.
My children buy me chocolate - are they after their inheritance? ?

I need to confess, after zooming in on the photo, I’ve added caramel aero bars to my shopping list ?

Oh no! Mr. B bought me a gingerbread man when he went to the bakery earlier. Is he trying to kill me?

Well 10 weeks ago my husband was given 6 weeks to live, he said at the time that expensive bottle of brandy in the cupboard I am going to drink. He is on his 3rd bottle - all bought by me, some of his tablets say don’t drink alcohol with them but who cares he enjoys it. Attempted murder- I don’t think so.

Where did this story come from, GrammyGrammy ? Our reactions to it depend very much on who first told it to you, where they heard it, and so on back to whoever had first-hand knowledge of it. Can you give us a link to where you found it?

Very strange post read it again and there’s a lot of hidden ‘beef’ in there Granmygrammy what’s you’re involvement are you related ?

Is this a spoof? A diabetic aged 90 being fed sugar and accusing the person of getting wills changed in their favour.
If it isn't I'll have what she's having if I can get to 90.

At 90 you my not worry about the consequences of eating whatever you like.

It's possible that the lady asks her visitor for these things when she visits. Often on GN posters say 'At my time of life I'm not being told what to do...I'll do what I want' - well, maybe she feels the same. Where on earth did this story come from??

Well the murderous intent obviously isn't working if she's lived to 90! haha riverwalk you are right

I don't think that's much, spread out over a year.

Well the murderous intent obviously isn't working if she's lived to 90!

Are you this woman's Carer?

At 90 she's already reached a grand age.

I'd leave it be. Certainly not attempted murder!

What is the old lady's own view on the matter?
