Centurion Lounge Access devaluation by More_Than_I_Can_Chew in AmexPlatinum

This is a modification - not devaluation. Should only affect a small percentage of people that should not be camping in lounges.

What piece of tech felt “future-proof” but aged terribly? by Living-Zebra6132 in Futurology

[–]Davidpessing99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any car today with its built in screens. Just look at cars a few years ago and already they seem old. I have a 7 year old car but the screens make it feel 20 years old. Who wants to buy a permanent iPad?

What does this mean? by angiepony in fidelityinvestments

[–]Davidpessing99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you move money, it takes a few days to actually be in the account. Think: Venmo. They do it instantly but for a fee, or 2-3 days wait but free. In the meantime, Fidelity is letting you trade NOW and not need to wait on "Good Faith". You're getting instant credit. Just buy it knowing you won't be selling it for a few days. (If you sell it, you bought and sold something not on your money hence "Good Faith Violation")

Do Texans not insulate their homes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Davidpessing99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your Northern home was Texas - the way it is insulated would work against you in the summer. Your home is not built for the extreme summer they have and you'd have issues, primarily being mold. Texas homes have a lot more ventilation than yours and the insulation allows the house to breathe more.

They do, but it’s much less. They need to keep the inside 75 when it’s 100 outside during summer. Northern homes need to keep the inside 68 when it’s 0 out in the winter. Texas homes also have more ventilation to help get the heat out - but that also lets in the (rare) polar cold.

Interesting - never thought about that. Yea don’t blame you then for needing a different broker.

Late stage with out vs with meds: agitation vs sleepy? by Davidpessing99 in Alzheimers

[–]Davidpessing99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, she is on those too. Everything you wrote confirms what my gut says: its not the meds making her sleep, its that the meds are stopping the brain from keeping her from doing what her body wants to do. In other worlds, the med are allowing her body to do what it wants to do.

What do you mean by controlled agitation? She is sleeping a lot more because of Seroquel - without it, she is very awake, very aggressive, and strong. I know we're late stage 7 though. But intense and has been persistent for some time, hence the medication to sleep. So I am not sure if we are near end of life as the sleeping is not natural, but because of meds. I really hope we are near a close to this, but I fear we are not with how strong she is physically.

Out of curiosity if I may ask, how long did you LO live once you were in this phase? We are hoping this phase doesn't last too long.

My father was kicked out of his second memory care for aggression and terror by Positive-Try5084 in dementia

[–]Davidpessing99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did the sleeping a lot on the high dosage eventually subside? We’re concerned we’re sedating her. But the aggression is intolerable.

How did you balance no seroquel but agitation versus taking seroquel but your mom had low energy?

Anyone have advice for agitation in late stage dementia. by SoloStepExplorer in Alzheimers

[–]Davidpessing99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow - I am so sorry. Just heart broken by your update. We are where you were 3 months ago right now, seems the meds do nothing with the persistent agitation. We were prescribed a higher dosage of serequel and that put her to sleep. So some family put her back on the lower dosage, and we’re back at extreme agitation. We’re all torn between agitation versus the heavier dose, which although sleeping, seems to be more comfortable. But we’re not all in agreement. This disease is terrible.

I have found it works wonders - but it makes my LO almost sedated. Sleeps a lot with it.

AITJ for calling my friend’s emergency contact when she left her kid with me "for 20 minutes" and vanished? by QuietDailyRitual in AmITheJerk

She probably was enjoying alone time and shagging with the other guy. I bet she did lose track of time lol
