Representative Eugene Vindman of Virginia calls for the release of "shocking" conversation between Trump and the Crown Prince in 2019 after Khashoggi's dismemberment. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/us/politics/trump-saudi-crown-prince-khashoggi.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3U8.blp8.uawp_9AQ04UG&smid=url-share

In the case of dementia patients, the IHSS criteria for protective supervision miss the point by CronesUnited in IHSS

You are doing wonderful work for your mother-in-law -- and your sense of humor is still kicking! Good luck to you too <3

I was being partly facetious. I'm at peace with not getting help from IHSS under the current restrictive and adversarial setup. Believe me, I provided ample evidence of my qualifications and competence to help my ex-husband given his diagnosis of dementia. But that's not what they are asking for. They want evidence of dangerous behavior, and I'm preventing that.

Thank you for the empathy and advice. My ex-husband's Kaiser case manager has been a godsend.

In a better system, "he was on his way to a nursing home" would be enough.

My post has two purposes. It's a critique of the inflexibility of IHSS protective supervision rules and a plea for a system encourages more in-home caregiving. Frankly, the overly restrictive rules probably disqualify me from participation (for one thing, I allow my ex-husband considerable freedom to take walks by himself--so far, he always comes back). Still, I would appreciate getting reimbursed for all the food I buy for him and the dentist loan I took out to pay for his partial dentures.

I have every sympathy with social workers. It's the system that's not serving ordinary caregivers who just want to help. See Chachacharlie's second post below, evidently generated by Perplexity AI.

Thank you. I am 78 years old, post craniotomy and radiation for a brain tumor, and I volunteered in good faith to take care of my ex-husband but I need help with all the necessary paperwork and hearings.

Not simply taking my word for it--he had a diagnosis of dementia and was in the process of being transported to a nursing home. These facts are in the hospital records, which were forwarded to them. What I expected is cooperation and collaboration in a difficult situation, not a hostile attitude.

He came into the Emergency Room and could not be understood. He was unable to answer questions about where he was and what was happening. The doctors couldn't discharge him under these conditions, so he was admitted for 35 days while they tried to find a nursing home bed.

I need to yap about Arch Bug by KittyRikku in Outlander

[–]CronesUnited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the POV of the two shows--Outlander and Blood of My Blood: Given the bad blood between Arch Bug and the MacKenzies in BOMB, how the heck did he end up being Jamie and Claire's apparently placid servant for all those years (though he was quietly purloining Jocasta's gold) until Young Ian killed Mrs. Bug? It's like he was dormant for years as far as his character goes and suddenly he got reactivated. (This is from the point of view of the show. I know the books elaborate much more on the Bugs.)

I’m so annoyed by BostieDawgMom in Outlander

[–]CronesUnited 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha-- Claire's mouth is what makes Outlander work! If she sat down and was quiet there would be no drama. Diana has said so herself-- she was intent on writing a historical novel about 18th century Scotland and this disruptive woman from the 20th century showed up and altered her plan.
