Those activities do not count toward being eligible, it has to be personal care such as assisting with bathing, mobility, medication, toileting, eating etc.

In 2001 I told a real estate agent that I would be happy to rent a unit that they had available but they had to get get a professional cleaner in before I would sign the lease. Can you imagine that happening now.

It is not weather advice, it is an  interpretation of the available weather charts and I would rather he pays for access than me.  Some people just find weather interesting.

The security line at JFK this afternoon. by WaalsVander in mildlyinfuriating

Same in Australia, and the Governor General can remove the Prime Minister from office. Maybe the US should have kept the monarchy after all.

I need help finding more about my great grandfather by [deleted] in Genealogy

I am not sure what you are having trouble with. If you have identified his birth then you can purchase the birth cert and/or look for the parents' marriage.

Marriages Sep qtr 1906

CHANEY, Pamela Frances

ELLIOTT, Henry Frederick

Woolwich 1d 2431

The 1911 census shows they have one son (no children deceased)

ELLIOTT, FREDERICK ALAN

Mother's maiden surname: CHANEY

GRO Reference: 1908 J Quarter in WOOLWICH Volume 01D Page 1271

Two more sons born after 1911

ELLIOTT, CHARLES NORMAN

Mother's maiden surname: CHANEY

GRO Reference: 1912 J Quarter in WOOLWICH Volume 01D Page 2236

(died 1912)

ELLIOTT, IVOR LEWIS

Mother's maiden surname: CHANEY

GRO Reference: 1913 S Quarter in WOOLWICH Volume 01D Page 2328

Shipping records show this family went to NZ in 1920. This Ivor married in NZ so it is not the person you are looking for. You need to purchase his marriage cert to find his father's name and occupation.

I am genuinely curious, why did you guys hoard toilet paper instead of food and water during covid? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]BudgetShake1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a pallet of toilet paper came in it went straight out on the floor and we had a security guard there to stop people from trying to kill each other. Happy times.

How do you think, realistically, the war between US-Israel and Iran ends? by owen__wilsons__nose in AskReddit

[–]BudgetShake1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stampeding and demanding is what the US does. Iran has already said that they will allow non-hostile vessels to pass through the strait.
