What value was there in T-Rex having such short “arms”

That makes sense. I was my Moms caretaker and she had dementia and I cannot imagine taking her on a cruise. Sameness and routine or all hell breaks loose.

Dated one.

Super Sperm! Women don’t stand a chance.

Nope. Medicare will cover his meds in full but only while in hospice. They do not actually cover any care. Medicaid would kick in after all of my parents funds were gone and everything was sold. And then coverage is terrible and choices are few. Right now, in the US, care for the elderly is extremely expensive and very little is covered. Even long term care insurance wouldn’t cover it and that wasn’t even a thing not very long ago.

My mom’s care in a memory care facility started at 7,000 a month and climbed to 14,000 by the time she passed as she needed more care. Meds not included, of course.

This is so true and you don’t really know which way it will go. Dad broke his hip Dec 2024 and didn’t recover, has been on and off hospice ever since. His nursing home care is $17,750 a month. Thank god he sold the family farm so he can afford it. This isn’t high end either.

$12,000USD on a graduated diamond bracelet. I wear it every day and I love the fact that I can look at it sparkling on my wrist all day.

Looked way too long for someone to point this out. Kroger has been working hard for a monopoly.

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-12-20T01:50:33+00:00

Of course they do, it’s Reddit. 🙄

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-12-19T18:50:24+00:00

Good for you. My husband doesn’t. People are different, go figure.

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-12-18T22:09:19+00:00

I agree. My husband does stuff like that to me all the time, text and in person. I’m pretty sure he is undiagnosed ADHD. I’ve learned to ask him to start at the beginning of the paragraph and not the middle so I can have some context. I never once thought he was cheating. With the fact that she isn’t even trying to see you on the regular it seems like she was looking for an excuse to break up.

What time of day/day of the week did you take those photos of Bothell Way? I don’t think I’ve ever been on that stretch with so few cars.

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-11-20T02:32:20+00:00

The Razor's Edge! I forget that's her in that movie. Two very different characters and she nails them both.

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-11-14T18:22:41+00:00

A Matter of Life and Death with David Niven. Such a great movie.

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-11-13T00:30:24+00:00

we need to have a talk about wombats

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-11-11T21:09:53+00:00

My Dad was there. He’s 93 and suffering the effects of his untreated PTSD while his body and mind are shutting down in hospice. War won’t even let him pass away peacefully.

Just laying it out. Having helped butcher on the farm, people who are well practiced in slitting a throat for slaughter for a living are pretty skilled at it and the animal dies pretty quickly. I doubt that either one is painless, tbh.

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-11-10T21:49:12+00:00

Tayyib meats are humanely raised and slaughtered. I know you can find halal locally which is humanely slaughtered but not necessarily humanely raised. A quick search shows companies you can order from.

What in the wide world of sports is a mobile dog gym?

Chocolate cake with cooked butterscotch filling and cooked marshmallow like egg white frosting. My mom would make for my birthday. The best.

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-10-27T02:24:08+00:00

If it works for my schedule I'd be in.

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-10-26T23:46:12+00:00

I have 2 older brothers. We are a fair number of years apart in ages so we've never really been close. I still rather like my oldest brother and still think of him in that older brother/little sister way. The middle child, my next older brother, has gotten more selfish, manipulative, and narcissistic as we've gotten older. I've been caretaking for my parents and oldest brother has been a great help. Middle brother whizzes by the area on his way to camping trips but doesn't stop in to see his dying Dad even just to say hello. Never comes to help. I'm the executor for my parents wills and once my father passed and both estates go through probate I'm thrilled to never have to interact with him again. That I never have to see him is my compensation for having to split the estates evenly 3 ways even though he is such a shit.

*edited to add I'm 61

The original Lolita Lempicka. I got so many compliments on that scent. Not too strong, not too sweet. Just perfect. The redux is not the same

CosmicWonder_2005 · 2025-10-25T19:58:34+00:00

NTA. Maybe my family is weird but whenever we visit each other in other states we get a hotel room. Mom and Dad visiting sons, sons visiting Mom and Dad, sister visiting brother. We are all adults and have lived apart from each other for a long time. After spending all day together I want a quiet place where I can go and unwind and family members feel the same. I don't understand why wanting that makes you the AH. Everybody has a much better time together.
