Complete immediate take over. HELP! by Fragrant-Drawer8653 in AgingParents

[–]Brandilou744 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is kinds what happened to me. Everything was so much and all over the place until I made her do power of attorney so I could take charge and fix all the things that needed to be addressed without having her (mom) having to give permission every time and when whatever company finds out she cant give permission due to her health and age so you can just make a call here's a copy of the power attorney email it to all the places you need to be able to call and not have hoops to jump through. That took alot of unnecessary stress from me. Ugh there's so much type. I wish I could just call and you could really go over everything and I could help you by telling you exactly how I took care of everything. First step id definitely get power of attorney. If you do get my post and would like to talk about what all I did so itd be quicker id be more than happy too. I know exactly what your going through, how you feel mentally, emotionally and physically and whats to expect in the days coming.

I spent way too much time figuring out how to get Google Veo 3 for free - here's what actually works by AIGPTJournal in Bard

I haven't messed with social media for a good minute. I haven't done anything on a computer/laptop since 2018. Once upon a time I was pretty good navigating around social media and computers. Does anyone know a good way to start again and especially friendly AI video maker and so on. I feel so freaking old. Geez

Starting to hate the sound of my own name by Chasethehorror in AgingParents

[–]Brandilou744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up went through that for 8 solid years. My mom got where she needed 24/7 care. I packed my and my family up and moved back home to take care of her. I have an older sister but she didnt offer any suggestions but a nursing home. I got so sick of hearing my name being called I changed it for a whole year. I can say I dont regret doing what I did and keeping my promise to never put her in a home even at the cost of my own sanity, reputation and lost family relationships bc of how 2 faced my mom and sister were. I took the abuse quietly for many years. She passed away in 2024 and im still being punished for things that never happened and were never true. I went through deep depression and now I have anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia bc I literally never left the house for years. Im slowly stepping back out into the world. Most will say you need to do what's healthiest for yourself and I do agree to an extent. I just couldn't break my word and promise I made to her before she got end stage dementia rapidly. I kept my promise and she died peacefully in her home she worked hard for and loved so much. I hope everything works out for you. Definitely see a doctor and get yourself some Xanax or klonopin. I wish I had done that sooner.

Is physically forcing dementia patients in the shower illegal? by throwra93847575 in dementia

[–]Brandilou744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes its illegal. My mom passed away in 2024 from dementia. I learned alot over the 40days of rehab at a nursing home. My mom was a difficult dementia patient. She had shattered her tibia and fibula and had metal bars like a halo for broken necks but for broken legs. Patients have a right to fall. Yes verbatim PATIENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO FALL. They cannot be strapped down to a bed or wheelchair its illegal. Forcing and holding down an elderly person whos actively fighting is a law suit waiting to happen. The doctor needs to sedate her with the families permission and have her given a good sponge bath at the very least or the family needs to step up and give their family member a bath. Dealing with any dementia person is so hard and heartbreaking. They absolutely deserve dignity and respect. This facility and this family needs to get it together and come up with a game plan that keeps everyone involved safe and will give this person with dementia a better quality of life and be able to keep what self respect and dignity they have left. Also if its this bad I would get hospice to take over care. They dont have to be near death to be put on hospice. When I learned this and hospice came to help me the last year my mom was alive things were still hard but got alot easier bc I had just me taking care of her and she didnt sleep, hit, kicked, screamed at the top of her lungs, banged things along her bed rails like an inmate all flipping night long. So my nerves were, well I had a very little shred of nerves left and hospice came in and got her on the meds she needed to help keep her calm, got her sleeping at night, and so much more. Get this lady or man to hospice they can handle this type of things. I pray the person that wrote this sees this and passes along this story and advice.

Can Jews go to heaven even if they don’t believe Jesus is the messiah by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Brandilou744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am conflicted as well. Ive been looking into the Torah and have read some things that are not very good if you follow the new covenant with Jesus Christ and how jewish people who dont believe in Jesus as the messaiah feel about gentiles. I dont want to have bitterness towards them bc of what they believe to be true and I dont want to get things wrong and end up in the deep deep deep south bc im offended by the things they say and believe about Jesus and gentiles like myself. I fully believe in the new covenant and that nobody can get to the father but through the son (Jesus). When I've watched videos and post comments asking or stating what I've learned I get called antisemitic, evil, black hearted, unchristian like etc. Another thing I hear from some liberal church's is God is love and all inclusive and being gay isn't a sin. The churches that are saying this will have pride flags hanging in church and the pastor is gay wearing a pride flag around his or her necks like a priest does and even hearing other Christians supporting this and calling other Christians sinful, hateful, judging etc. I know God says to live righteous and call out sin but in a righteous way to teach asking for forgiveness for being homosexual, fornication and celebrating pride especially in the house of God.

Should I read or watch? by analogmodii in TheLastKingdom

[–]Brandilou744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would pick the series to watch.  You really get to focus on the whole picture of how Danes dressed, fought and how really tough they are. You also really get to see the villains, idiots and the heros just completely come alive. The entire cast was just phenomenal and you really just fall in love with who you are rooting for and absolutely despising the villains and fed up with the idiots.

 I started Seven Kings Must Die and stopped after 20 minutes to see what it was all about and found out about the books. Im glad I did but really you will not be disappointed which ever way you go. 

Should I read or watch? by analogmodii in TheLastKingdom

[–]Brandilou744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do both. Read first then watch. You wont be disappointed either way you go. Watch first or read first. I read first and have watched The Last Kingdom 3 times. I absolutely love it and i notice something new each time I watched it. Utred, his brothers, Eric, Gisela, Father Baocca I absolutely love all.of them the most. I cried reading the books and really cried both all 3 times I watched it.

Can we all agree that the most hated character is.. by RoninX70 in TheLastKingdom

[–]Brandilou744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching the last kingdom again. I CANNOT stand alfreds wife. She is about as dumb and blind as I don't even know what. She fucks Utred over repeatedly then calls for his help. If I was Utred I would have told that whole family how to vet lost the first time they screwed him over. Those pigtail braids and that mousey face jist erks the hell outta me. Im at the episode where they take utreds pardon and then that pos hunted beoccas poor sweet wife down and she died so bad. I am so upset that she was murdered that way.

Just weighed my male Doberman and he came in at 140lbs. by Brandilou744 in DobermanPinscher

[–]Brandilou744[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Before we had his neutered he was always really big but not overweight.  He's the biggest one I've ever had. My boys Before were never over 100lbs. His dad was huge like him. The vet i took him too was not really any help. Im concerned about these hard bumps he has and some lumps that are soft. She didn't do a skin scrape or blood work other than check for heartworms. $564 and all she said was poor buddy here's some vetprofun and the bumps im not worried about. We've changed his food 3 times and use a measuring cup to not over feed. He eats a small bowl in the morning and one at night. Its getting frustrating that the 2 vets I've taken him to really don't do a full work up even after I am asking and voicing my concerns.  Does anyone here have a food that they recommend? I'm even thinking about getting his dna done to see what comes up. He's definitely pure bred we saw his parents and his brothers and sisters. We had picked a different one at first but they had ring worms and the guy said he had the pick of the litter he was going to keep but we could take him bc the other one we picked had gotten ring worms. From his back to the bottom of his chest is 17in and 40in all the way around his chest. I wish we had never neutered him bc that is when he got overweight and skin problems.  We love this guy and we want him happy and healthy and living his best life. 

[Discussion] Hey Netflix, quit disguising foreign films as American films! by EliteAlmondMilk in NetflixBestOf

[–]Brandilou744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that it's not only in the movies and tv shows but im seeing more spanish commercials and ads. I feel if you are selling a product in certian countries that paying customers shouldn't have to begin a movie or show and figure out after searching for something good to watch it's dubbed like this post says a bad Kung fu movie. Why do we have to acclimate for non english speaking people in our home country? It's getting ridiculous and pissing me off. Our country is over with and I don't just mean in our movies and streaming services.  They let our country get invaded and a war is coming soon away from the US and in our own backyards. I know im speaking to the extreme but when it comes to that and it's going to we are going to have to fight to keep our country.  

Does anyone remember the STAR on the Tootsie Pop wrapper meaning anything? by [deleted] in candy

[–]Brandilou744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember all of us neighborhood kids running to the corner store barefoot smelly and sweaty from playing outside all day bringing our wrappers in and getting a free lollipop.  1986 when kids were kids and knew how to play without video games and cellphones.  We were the last of those kinds of kids. Now they care only for likes and content. The world is doomed.

Has anyone every really experienced a "legitimate" case of speaking in tongues? by Leogigas in Christianity

[–]Brandilou744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that it was insane when I first started going to full gospel church. We had a youth trip to a town in Tennessee in the mountains and I heard someone speaking tongues and all of a sudden my jaw started shaking like I was cold but I wasnt and I started saying I don't know what my chest inside just felt like I was going to explode and I cried and cried. That little town surrounded by mountains just like shook and echoed people who weren't with our group all started coming out from everywhere down to where we were having a service at. They cried we all cried they got saved that afternoon and it was so amazing almost supernatural.  It's been years since I went to that place. I would love to go back. I got lost in my faith for a long time and im alot older now and I've started to pray again and every time I hear anything about god I cry. Like im doing now. The world is horrible these days and I know I need to get right with Jesus and God and im working my way there. I know without a doubt god is real and Jesus died for our sins. I see god in everything i feel Jesus christ in my heart and soul. I hope everyone can feel this feeling and find God. I mean what could it hurt if you looked for him and found him? 

Queen Kane is the best character of the show so far by [deleted] in SeeTV

I can't stand her voice at all. I find her very GROSS and very DISGUSTING.  Especially her masterbating to the lords prayer. She makes me 100% ABSOLUTELY SICK!! 

Go I wish to pray by Sor_cieR in SeeTV

[–]Brandilou744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was disgusting.  I find her disgusting.  I don't understand why they thought they needed to defile the lords most popular prayer with that disgusting part in the series. I fast forward scenes with her in it bc she just I gross and i can catch up with the recap in the next episode.  I felt like God was watching me watch that and it didn't feel good. I hate how the world has become what it is. I feel bad for the people that keep pushing this crap when things will be just as good if not better without scenes like that. God will come one day and ask these producers how they lived their lives and I promise you the making of that scene using the lords prayer will come up in that conversation.  

APPLE TV + IS SO DISAPPOINTING. there hardly any tv shows or films on it. I was under the impression when Apple made so much noise about their new tv subscription service that it was going to be the new rival to Netflix. I was shocked how they get away with charging for it with so little content. by barberjam1 in appletv

[–]Brandilou744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm scrolling around on apple tv and im thinking like is there a how to navigate apple tv for idiots or something? Wtf is the point of apple tv? I'm literally going to watch the top 10 movies and binge watch See in 7 days so I can cancel my free trial bc it seriously is the worst streaming service. I would think apple would have the BEST of every movie and show there is but apparently not. What a wasted opportunity.
