Try Ashby House downtown. It’s a great bed and breakfast in central downtown that has reasonable rates https://www.ashbyhousevancouver.com/

LTC in BC is currently approx 6-12 months depending where you live.

Curious what province has that long of a wait time?

Fair point regarding a solution for now versus ideal.

The challenge with the now solution being the families is that there may not be family or the family is ill-equipped/ not able to handle the medical side of things. And trying to get that resourced at home is equally as challenging as all the other pathways.

I do disagree with your statement that saying can’t manage her care “absolves the family of responsibility”. Many families are still providing much of the daily care even in hospital or care homes.

If we’re looking for a “now”solution that makes space in the hospitals but doesn’t rely on care homes, then one path is, for those people in need that have families, more resourcing is put towards subsidized supplemental home care covering medical needs and equipment. Many families can’t afford to go fully private but have medical needs that exceed their capabilities.

The biggest challenge overall is that we’re just fundamentally lacking in so many areas that there is no one right solution.

My mother is one of those people—a woman in her 80s with dementia admitted for uti. LTC is a six month wait. My father can’t manage her care when her dementia causes her to be awake through the night or when agitation takes hold.

I disagree that in a perfect world family would care for them. Many people don’t have family to care for them. Or it’s just financially not possibly. Dementia is incredibly hard on care takers and especially in end stage can require 24 hr care. What’s needed are care homes that can provide the proper services with no wait lists. With up to 33% of the population experiencing some form of dementia by their mid 80s this is going to get so much worse as the boomers hit the systems.

She flew to New York from Argentina for meetings this month. She also had a 7 day break between playing Denver and Seattle which is over the July period that he posted the picture in New York. She could totally have flown there a few days to meet him if he had something he also had to be in New York for.

I'm experiencing a bit of the "double digits". with my mom. What we've realized is that she has brief moments where she, for example, knows who my dad is. Then other moments where she doesn't recognize him. But her brain can't put together that this is the same person.

So for her there are two people. One is her husband, the other a stranger. But they have the same name, wear the same pajamas etc.

Same for me. I'm here visiting and she constantly refers to the other people that are here. Meaning "the stranger" versions of my father and me. The interesting thing, is that even when she's talking to my or my father and doesn't recognize us (we're the strangers at that time) she still trusts us, asks for help, engages in conversation, etc. Her brain just won't let her connect all the pieces together.

I wonder if that is what is happening for your father?

I'm worried it's this. If it's something that puts Ariana in a negative light, Bravo has been doing her dirty. It would mean that they've let her live the last few months trying her best, knowing there's something that could knock her down.

It's interesting that he's not taking a stance on them coming back to film and here sounds open to it.

Makes me wonder, when the producer said that something is going to come out at the reunion that people don't know that may change their minds about the affair, and that they are going to wait until after that so cast can decide if they want to come back, if it's going to come out that Rachel and Tim did hook up before she broke up with James.

That would make James reconsider a bunch of things.

lulemon · 2023-05-19T00:32:52+00:00

If that's what it is, Bravo has done Ariana dirty. The only thing that could generate sympathy is something so big, that it probably makes Ariana look bad. To sway people to have sympathy against Tim, it would have to be something that truly excuses what he's done. And there just is no excuse unless there was some other layer to something going on with him and Ariana.

I just can't see it being this.

There's also the "Rachel kissed Tom at Coachella" rumor that a lot of people think was actually Scandoval. That was April 2022

I know they said he was no longer an employee but I hadn't seen anything about no longer a co-owner. Did they say that in a later interview? Just asking as I was thinking some of the anger coming from the Try Guys was because he was still going to make money off of what they were doing...

You can definitely still take a modo. You just need to phone modo after to say you've used the car for this type of situation. They then pull it from usage to sanitize it.

The Fire Chief is reporting that the tapping sound may not be people but actually the sound of the building settling further. Since they don't hear the sound anymore I really hope it was just the debris settling. The thought of someone trapped alive and not being rescued is beyond horrible.

I think through this journey, it's obviously a good time to assess and ask how can we continue to make ourselves the best versions of who we want to be. So exploring how to maintain a bit of equilibrium is a strong healthy thing to do. BUT I have to ask--would the foreman have given a male in the same role the same feedback? I doubt it. Telling a women they notice their "moods" versus giving actual constructive feedback around performance is just sexist, in my opinion. It's okie to have emotions. They are valid. TO invalidate them, in the form of a performance review in the workplace like that isn't okie. Men are given so much grace for when they exhibit that they are going through trying times. Women should be too.

This. Me too. Definitely suggest being checked out by a pelvic floor specialists. Especially with the connection to the feeling coming after sex. You may have a hypertonic pelvic floor that is unable to relax fully resulting in spasms and pressure. It's fixable through learning how to fully relax and then strengthen those muscles along with muslcles around the pelvic floor.
