I get that coloring is a soothing experience but this is some emotionally-arrested millennial nonsense.
@GregN: I would argue that collages take skill (as does coloring; it takes kids a while to master staying inside the lines after all, and complimentary/accurate color choices and shading are things that even adults may struggle with if they're doing it "seriously"). Sure, you can just slap anything together to make a collage, but a good one takes a lot of thinking/planning to get an interesting arrangement.
*Raises hand* I admit drawing isn't one of my strong suits, but collages and assemblages are. I've done them off and on as a kid. I'd do more assemblages, but I don't have the space. Sometimes when I take walks I pick up junk and use it in mixed-media journal entries.Paint-by-number pictures have been around for a while, and plenty of adults do those. So I really don't see what the difference between that and "Adult Coloring Books" would be. A lot of people just don't have the skills to draw their own pictures, but still feel a need to be creative.
I wonder how many times your parents have regretted not aborting you.
Adult coloring books. When you're one step away from living alone in an apartment full of cats named after Final Fantasy characters.
Gave one of my books to my mom who is 78 years old and has alzheimers. I figure it's better for her to do that than sit around and watch TV all day.
Have you gotten a hospice nurse for her yet? The cost is worth it for the piece of mind.

This is a very sad topic. Most People cannot be put into hospice unless a Doctor says they have less than 3 months to live. Hospice is very good in the sense that the nurses have a lot of experience "reading" end of life patients and can administer pain killers if they detect terminal agitation and can be there to frequently wet a patient's mouth with a sponge. I hate topics like this, but I know that i'd personally like hospice if I take that kind of turn for the worse that indicates end of life care. The comforts of home mean little as long as you still get to have the family/company & support around you that you would have otherwise had at home anyway.
Love and strength in both your mother's and your direction, GregN.
I was actually asking a serious question.
I don't pink I have a big enough crayon for that project.
You're thinking about this all wrong. There can't be too many better ways to find a chick with daddy issues than going to coloring book conventions.And this is why I don't want to meet these women at the local library. I want someone that's more mature. Hell, I want to partake in an activity that's more mature than coloring books. If I don't pick up chicks, so be it. Not everything has to be a chick picking up endeavor, but I want to partake in a mature activity, you know?
