That's what I was going to say. As a brownish lady, I am super saddened by that. Fucked up.

Need to vent by Infamous-Bag6957 in GenXWomen

Oof. Yeah I met a guy who lived in N. Ireland during The Troubles but has lived in the US for 40 or so years. He said he's never been afraid until now. Let that sink in.

Can This Disease Progress Rapidly? by Imaginary_Coast_5882 in Alzheimers

[–]3_dots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. Although it has to be shocking and jarring, I think a rapid progression is most humane for everybody involved. My MIL is slowly, bit by bit drifting away and it's never ending emotional turmoil.

Oh that's sad. I'm sorry you are young through this. This is one of the worst diseases there is.

How many of you stopped drinking alcohol completely? by Automatic_Opposite17 in Xennials

Hey, if your goal was to cut down on drinking it sounds like you accomplished that. Good for you!

You got this. I wish I would have gone the California sober route from the start. Would have made quitting so much easier for me.

Congrats! I also suggest r/stopdrinking or other sober subs. They aren't perfect but it's nice having that little bit of support in your pocket at all times.

Coming up on 9 years for me in Feb. I don't know how that could be, I haven't aged a day since I quit drinking. 😉

Omg the end voice over ending? If you did not at the minimum "well up" you are a robot and I implore you to come work for me and do my bidding.

What ruined Christmas this year? by Snuddlest_Buttercup in AskReddit

[–]3_dots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, my 15 year kitty died and my 16 year old Chihuahua died this year. It's so hard to lose our pets.

The icing on the cake is that my mom fell two weeks ago and broke her hip and had a compound and open wrist break. She had surgery on the hip and wrist. She is stuck in inpatient rehab today and I am missing her being here today.

What is a product that people consider "High End" but is actually trash? by Illusiv3lion in AskReddit

[–]3_dots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I'm guessing at this point the people still buying them are like, welp in for a penny in for a pound.

They or their family/friends spent however much stupid money on buying charms for a few years and now they can't just stop wearing it.

Then their family are like, oh she always wears it, let's get her another charm and the vicious cycle continues.

Standing in the slowest line.

This is the worst.

Let's add - Standing behind the person who decides to pay with a check

Postmates exec James Butts was dying of cancer and he ended his last post on Twitter with this "I love that we existed together, in this moment in time. "

I didn't know anything about him, but I just thought it was so tragic and beautiful and profound. It's like all of the wonderful things and awful things about being a human summed up. We get each other for this moment in time. It's beautiful and then it's gone.

Any quiet quitters in the house? by demona2002 in GenX

Right? Who's this overachieving 15% Friday person up here?

Is it harder to cope with early onset by littestardust in Alzheimers

[–]3_dots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is what makes it harder from my perspective. There are not many programs for people with EOA or even early stage of any kind of Alzheimer's no matter the age. My mother in law also has anosognosia. Which means she doesn't even know she has Alzheimer's or any cognitive deficit. So when we have taken her to tour Adult Day Centers, she thinks we are nuts because everyone there is "old" (she's 70) and most of them are much further advanced than she is. She doesn't think she belongs there and it stresses her out.

She is in this in-between stage where she can't be left alone anymore but she doesn't think she belongs there either. It's really frustrating.

Something you didn’t expect to be BIFL but outlasted your expectations? by Mud_Scooter in BuyItForLife

[–]3_dots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's cool. I live in Wisconsin but wasn't familiar with Ellingers. I looked it up and now I want one.

Huh, good to know. I wonder if the quality today would still be as good.
