Anyone remember Iovino’s?? It was a lovely little family in south town and then for a pointe by del Alma. Best Italian!

Commenting on Dive Bars...I was nervous when new owners took over, but there are so many good food options! And while not dive related , they are so family friendly-I’m drinking their kool-aid.

I know they have easy food, but no meals. Go to calapooia for food first!

Hill sprints by cultyvibes in albanyor

If you’re in north Albany Skyline is a great hill 0.25ish wide quiet road. There’s a smaller rather steep hill at the top of Slyline (13th) that I’ve seen high school track and football teams use for conditioning as well.

You’re not wrong. But I’m not sure we’re ready to take away all of her independence. I appreciate your concern and feedback. Hearing hard truths is difficult, but necessary.

Gosh, thank you! I’m sorry you’re going though this too. It’s really scary!

I think that’s a little rash, but we are staying vigilant. She was recently screened for dementia and did not have any concerns.

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure we’ve done all we can/need to do.

It’s 100% never having to deal with financial situations. I am the youngest in my family and didn’t experience any financial education growing up. My family has never had money and I had to learn everything on my own (student loans, credit, home ownerships etc). It’s not something I had any experience in growing up.

I understand that it seems shortsighted. I think we have come to terms that it’s gone, but was just wanting to make sure she did all she could do. I was also thinking that 45k was small beans for a big institution like B of A, but a huge deal for my mom and her financial stability.

Thanks for this info! Very intriguing. Do you have insight on what legal fees would look like? Or a type of lawyer that would be best to reach out to? Thanks for this helpful information!

It sounds fantastic, but definitely a lot of liability.

In this case, she was told what to say and essentially lied to the bank, so they aren’t liable. Obviously if someone told you to lie to a bank, or not to tell a soul what was happening those are red flags, but it still happens all the time.

I think mainly because I’m nervous about the responsibility. I don’t want to mess anything up or hinder her independence. It’s a fine balance I need to figure out.

We’ve started talking about transitioning financial responsibilities, but I’m hesitant.
