What I hear you saying is…

In the sixties more than a few people misheard a line in I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles as “I get high,” rather than “I can’t hide,” which is the actual line. Reportedly, even Bob Dylan referred to the line when he met with members of the band and was encouraging them to smoke weed with him.

Caregiver wears brave face despite growing despair

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 56-year-old, married, 24/7 caregiver. My husband is terminally ill. When he was diagnosed, all I could think about was what can I do to make this as pleasant and comfortable as possible for my husband and best friend. I have devoted my energy to giving him the best home care I possibly can. It’s far more important to utilize my energy taking care of the love of my life than anything else, and I have put myself on the back burner.
