• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Man for real you know i was thinking about this

• 1:08
  Speaker 4: to be coming in pretty soon when it gets cooler
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: and we're very grateful for you all because you take
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: care of our Our grounds, and that's a lot to
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: take care of.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: That's a big building.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: It's a huge building.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I bet it's bigger inside. I mean, it looks big
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: from the outside.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: You guys both know where we nook and cranny of it,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: don't you?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: We're there for Mike.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. Mike's support group.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Trying to maintain and keep our unwanted friends out for sure.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Well, Quentin, you know, you've been so busy. It just
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: seems like you guys are nonstop all over the area.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Not just town, not just a couple of towns, but
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: all over the whole area. Word gets out that Advanced
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Pest Solutions is probably the best bang for the buck
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: when it comes to keeping critters under control.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: I like to think we do a good job and
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: make a lot of friends along the way. We did
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: a chamber thing the other night that was a lot
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: of fun.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I think I saw you there.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yes. I think there, anybody, it was a who's who,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: wasn't it?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a lot of people there. It was
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: a really, really good time.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Business Expo is always a good chamber event for sure.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. And so now I want to make
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it clear to everybody that Advanced Pest Solutions does residential,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: but they also do businesses too. And once again, we're
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: talking about the journey home, and this, of course, is it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It's a business, but a different kind of business. It's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a nonprofit agency.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Very nonprofit.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit about that.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Yes. So the Journey Home is an end-of-life hospice home.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: We care for people in their last 30 days of life.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: So the requirements to come there, you have to have
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: a do-not-resuscitate order. You have to be with the hospice
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: that we contract with in your last 30 days of life.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: So those are the qualifications. Here in Burtlesville, we have
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: six beds. We also have opened a second location in Sperry, Oklahoma,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: and that's three beds.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: So we are just up.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: And down Highway 75 a little bit. But we've already
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: taken care of 95 guests since January at the Sperry house.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: So it's definitely, there's a need there that we're very
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: much so there for a reason.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And so it's, we are very blessed.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Well, Quentin, I don't know if you know this or not, but...
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: There's only a handful of places even remotely like this
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: in the United States. I've learned that. We have two
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: right here in our area.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Right, we're blessed. I will say this.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: A lot of people know about Journey Home, but until
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: you experience it firsthand, you don't really understand the care
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: that you get. My father died a couple years ago,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: and we was down there. You know, he had COPD, and.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I was afraid I was gonna have to watch him
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: really suffer and suffocate. And he didn't even have his
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: oxygen on the last day or so.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: He took it off.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Himself and he didn't suffer. And they provide food for you,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: they fix meals for you. So it's not just a
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: place for the person to come. It's a place for
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: the family to come together. All his family got to
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: see him before he died.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: A pretty ideal situation in a very bad time.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And this is really what it's all about. Uh, it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: probably the most emotional part of our life cycles being
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: with our loved ones, the last days of our lives.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And you do such a wonderful job of making everybody
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: feel at home.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you. We do.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Um, I know Quentin through our kitchen manager and she's
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: actually out currently for her own health right now. But so, yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: so she has really enjoyed her position and been in
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the kitchen fixing lunch every day. And so we miss
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: her greatly not being there, but she's going to get
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: better and come back very soon. But yeah, that's, you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you don't understand it until you're in it. and realize,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: you know, the last 30 days are really truly the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: hardest because they're usually bed bound and you're needing to
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: make sure that they don't have breakdown and repositioning and medications.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Medications can be given every two hours. And, you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: when you're doing this around the clock, you know, have
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: you sleeping? Are you sleeping with one eye open? You know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: those types of things. And people just don't understand how
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: tough it is until they're trying to do it. And it's,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: that's probably the hardest thing when people walk in, they say, I,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I promised them that I wouldn't, I wouldn't take them somewhere. Um,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: and then they come in and they see it's a house.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: It's not an institution. It doesn't have the typical smells. Um, yes,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: it's very warm and inviting. And so it's, it is
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: the nest next best thing to being at home.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But sometimes it's just, it's, you've got to take care
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of yourself.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I know with my mom, um, she had taken care
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: of dad for weeks on end. She wasn't eating.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: And I'd actually called the hospice place that was taking
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: care of, had went and seen dad once before and
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: they said he wasn't ready.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And I called him and said, hey, I.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Think mom's, she's just, I'd have a talk with mom
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: and say, mom, you're going to be in dad's spot
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: if you do not do something and you don't eat
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: and you don't take.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Care of yourself.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: And she called me the next day crying and said
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: she made a phone call. And She had the same deal.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: She had a lot of self-blame. She promised him she'd
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: never do that to him. But he was coherent. It
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: was his choice. He chose to go down there.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to go. I want to go. But
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: it didn't really help her.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: But it allowed her to get away and be, like
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: the hospice nurse said, you can now be the wife,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: not the caretaker.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Because it's hard to be both.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Very hard, I can imagine. I can only imagine.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: That's what we just had somebody....
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: I was up in Sperry last week and it was
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: a son that was taking care of his mother. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: he said, I hate to say this, but he said,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I slept so good last night because she had been
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: transferred that next, the day before. And he said, I'm,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I'm so selfish for saying this, but I slept like
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: a rock because I've been so tired.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And so that's what we usually say.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: You know, if you feel comfortable, leave them that first night,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: you know, go home and get some rest. Cause if
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: you're if you're exhausted, you're not, you're not helping anybody,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: especially yourself.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. You're deteriorating right along with everything else.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: So that was something that I just thought that's interesting to,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, he said, I, you know, I feel selfish
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: saying it, but I'm so grateful that I had such
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: a good night's sleep last night.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And now the energy to go on and do what
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: needs to be done.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Yes. Have those conversations that into life is just, it's precious. It's,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: there's nothing better in the world than, having those memories
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: and just being able to speak and tell that person
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: what is so valuable about that relationship. I was definitely
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: honored to have that with my grandmother when she passed away.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: It's something that you just can't... You only.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Get one chance at it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: If you miss it, how many times do people have
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: regret because they didn't have the chance or they didn't
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: have a place?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Right. Right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: And that's, I mean, that's a lot of it is
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: some people can, you know, just have a massive heart
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: attack and you don't get that chance to say the
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: goodbyes that you would like to. But, you know, we
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: try to be able to put the family back in
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: just the family situation opposed to the caregiving and that situation. Wow.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Now, I understand that there's going to be a nice
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: little fundraiser. Right.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I think the 19th of September.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: The 19th of September.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: That's right. That's pretty darn quick.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, less than two weeks away.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: So we are actually giving away a $ 1, 500 Royal Caribbean
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: gift certificate if we sell 250 pre-sold packets before the event.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: So I checked it before I came in, and we
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: need 114 more sales.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: So get on our Facebook page and buy this, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: there will be a $ 1, 500 gift card for Royal Caribbean
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: that will be on a raffle.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: And let me say this.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: One thing about Facebook, if you all see this, get
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: on it and share with people because that's the way
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: you get more people to see this stuff on Facebook.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: If you don't, then you see it, and only a
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: certain amount of your friends see it. So if you
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: share it, then more people will. will actually see what's
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: going on.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Spread the word. Yes, yes. Share all those posts.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I'll be making one, I'm sure, today, and just trying
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: to get the word out that, you know, we do this,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: and we don't charge for this. So fundraisers, things like this,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: this is how... This is how.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: We do what we do.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, you think about it. There's not much in
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: this world that's free. There's not much free in this world.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: And to be able to have the care you have,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: it's kind of amazing there is no charge for it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, you get free meals.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: And that's not why you do it, but it's just
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: the care that you have by all the people. The people,
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: they're not there because they don't want to be. It's
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: the type of job you either invest in or you're not.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: So it's real important to support this.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things of the heart.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: You better have the heart for it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: My gosh. This is great. So it's the 19th. Where
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: are we doing this?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: At the Washington County Fairgrounds up in Dewey.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes. Oh, we've been there before for this, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: it's always been a rocking time.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: We hope so. We hope so. We hope that the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: doors are.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: are just bombarded and that the seats are filled and
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: that we can raise a lot of money for the house.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Can they come? I don't know. Can they come at
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: the door and pay as well?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: If we hit the 250 mark, then we will definitely
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: do the certificate.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: If we don't, then there won't be a... a cruise certificate,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: so please.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: It'll be fun. It'll be fun, yes.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: It'll be full, but we won't be needing the fire marshal.
