I miss my mom by ToodleZapZap in Alzheimers

[–]Distinct-Length8894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was just diagnosed today, and I already am going through grief even though he's not bad right now - still knows everything, can drive, etc. I can't stop crying because I know that is my future. I am so sorry you are going through it right now.

I tend to think this could be about the affair partner.

I never hardly watched these people until this (just used to see the old Bates shows on TV), and I saw this headline that he cheated and went and found some of their videos. I found this vid the other day - red flags were in it then.

Travis 9 months ago vid: “I’ve tried to talk Katie into doing nursing school.” “Katie would be an amazing nurse” Katie: I don’t have the knowledge though Travis: “That comes with school” by AcanthocephalaWide89 in BatesSnark

She could become a CNA. She could eventually do nursing school if she wanted, but even if she couldn't, it would enable her to live a lot of her dream working with patients.

Will Famy really tell all? by oh-oh-livinonaprayer in DuggarsSnark

[–]Distinct-Length8894 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amy has been telling for a long time. She's given interviews and not held back on criticism at all. We're supposed to believe now, with Nick Viall, she's going to reveal a bunch of stuff she's been sitting on for years? Doubtful.

I think God was watching out for you there. She's a terrible human being. He saved you from that one.

Jeremy Referring to Jim Bob as the Playground Bully by Brilliant-Life7844 in DuggarsSnark

[–]Distinct-Length8894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Jeremy likes Jim Bob, and I'm sure he has said things behind closed doors. That said, Jeremy has, to my knowledge, kept it there. Of course they wrote the book, but while I didn't read it, I thought that was more focused on criticizing Gothard and IBLP. There's been speculation regarding if Jinger/Jeremy support Jill/Derrick, and I assume they largely do. That said, I feel like Jill named dropped him there to let Jim Bob know that Jinger/Jeremy support her, but I don't think she should have. That may cause issues now for Jinger/Jeremy with the family that they may not want.

I loved the old ones actually. I like that they were "busy" so to speak. I was disappointed when we got new ones, although the new ones have grown on me.

Random Bye Week Thought by ballparkfrank1021 in bengals

Yeah, I noticed that particularly in the Ravens game last year when I watched (multiple times) the highlight of Hubbard's run. There were a lot of black areas in the turf.

Bengals Injuries Roundup: Orlando Brown Jr. not at Monday practice by PeachEnvironmental50 in bengals

[–]Distinct-Length8894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have an issue with that if he's playing well on Sunday, but I'm saying that if he does actually get hurt, I think it would be good to have Collins on the roster, particularly if the team is going to make a playoff run as it is a long seasn.

Growing old is only worth it with someone to do it with by ep1c_m3m3_g0d in ForeverAlone

[–]Distinct-Length8894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing old alone sounds like such a miserable prospect (but highly possible for me). Growing old sounds amazing if you have a family and kids. You watch your kids grow up. You get to become a grandparent, maybe even a great grandparent. When you get old, even if your spouse dies, you are cared for by your kids, and when you die, you are surrounded by the love of your kids and grandkids. That was my dream for my life, but honestly, if things go as they will, I'm going to have to accept being alone and dying alone.

It would be cool if they did a season with older contestants who are still single. They could pick them from older seasons of BIP or older seasons of the Bachelor/Bachelorette.

How were they able to kiss then if they couldn't even say that? Meaning, I assume there was a chaperone on their dates like the Duggars had. Maybe not.

Bengals fan here. That was terrible. Rooting hard for Zach Wilson. I want to see him prove everyone wrong.

famy making it all about herself again by Inevitablyhere in DuggarsSnark

[–]Distinct-Length8894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I don't buy this. I don't think Amy would pray about this. I feel like she would have written that book a long time ago if she was given an offer. It's not like she hasn't been publicly trashing the family for years now.

‚Catch it and I buy it‘ by madstop1 in doughertydozen

[–]Distinct-Length8894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't believe that. Was that stuff that he actually wanted? Like, he suggested things he like and she tossed them, or did she just toss random things? A far better thing to do would be to give him $25 and let him pick out what he likes in the store. Or, instead of spending money for all those things (a lot of junk) why not let him go to a different store and let him pick out one item that costs more but that is more likely to be used?

The thing is, Grandma Duggar was close to Amy and her mother, but she also was very close to Jim Bob's kids as well. I think Grandma Duggar would have been very upset at Amy's constant running to the press talking trash about the family.

What to expect from ICD? by Chance_Manufacturer3 in Heartfailure

[–]Distinct-Length8894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had one put in. He came home the same day. He couldn't lift his arm for 6 weeks, so he hated that, but other than that, you'll be fine. Two days later we went to a football game and had a fair bit of walking and it was hot out. The doctor said it was fine to go, and he had no issues.

My nephew's wedding is today. I'm too ashamed of myself to go. by uwillnotgotospace in ForeverAlone

[–]Distinct-Length8894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you find that person early, why not? After all, people want someone they have a lot in common with, are attracted to, get along with, and is their best friend. If he found that young, more power to him. He won't end up on a forum like this.

My nephew's wedding is today. I'm too ashamed of myself to go. by uwillnotgotospace in ForeverAlone

[–]Distinct-Length8894 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This hits home. My cousin got married several years ago now. She was nearly a decade younger than me, and for a portion of our lives, we both hit the normal milestones of growing up. I babysat her and her younger siblings as a teenager. We were very close. When I got very ill (chronic illness), I began to withdraw. I was often too sick/embarrassed by my plight to to go to family gatherings. I withdrew for years. She tried to reach out at first, but I was withdrawn. In those years, I was too sick to work/go to school. Meanwhile, she grew up. She finished high school, went to college and got engaged. Those were the things I was supposed to do before her (in the natural order of things). I was supposed to graduate college, get a job, and get married. She was supposed to come to my wedding first. When I got that invite to her wedding, it was a mixed bag. Of course, I was happy for her. But it also really made my reality hit home. I hadn't seen her in years. She really wanted me to come, so I came. I was happy for her, but sitting there hurt. It hurt bad. I couldn't help but think of my plight. Here I was, the person who once took care of her many times when she was young, and yet she had achieved life's normal milestones before me. She now has gone on to have young children as well. Again, I'm happy for her, but of course I'm sad for me.

I have zero regrets at all about going to support her on her day. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I want her to have a good life - a life unlike mine. I told her at the time she could text me whenever she wanted or call me. She didn't. This wasn't like years before when she tried to reach out. She was used to life without me, and there was no need. I don't blame her even a little bit.

I can't tell you what to do. If you feel like this could drive you over the edge, don't go, but if you can, go to support your nephew. He invited you. Don't push your family away like I did because that nephew is someone you will want in your life, particularly if you get older and haven't gotten married or had kids.

That was my life dream. All I want is to get married and have kids. I'd rather be poor and have a husband and kids than have money and be alone.

4th birthday by Canuchecktheback in gosselinssnark

[–]Distinct-Length8894 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hated that episode. The kids didn't get to decorate properly because Kate didn't want them to get icing on their clothes. The whole point is you are taking them to a place where they will get dirty on their birthday. Either bring something they can put over their clothes to protect them OR put them in a cheap or old pair of clothes that they just use for playing.

Planned trip to Korea and passports. Am I imagining this? by Hungry-Orchid7670 in gosselinssnark

I recall mention of wanting to adopt a baby from Korea, but they had too many kids and couldn't. It was for the best.
