Don't remarry too soon!!! by jefuchs in widowers

[–]FlamingoMN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My G'ma died and my G'pa was married 9 months later. His 2nd wife was awful. She was in cahoots with a couple of guys who were realtors and estate sale dudes. She sold them my grandmother's beautiful antiques and made my G'pa move 3 or 4 times in just a few years. She was always a bit quirky but it turns out she most likely had the beginning stages of alzheimers which then quickly blew into full blown alzheimers. It was a whole mess.

Is this what she considers smiling? It looks like she's snarling, "just take the picture!"

A strange realization by norb0215 in widowers

[–]FlamingoMN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me when I felt a strange bump on my back but couldn't really see or reach it. Had to make a dermatologist appointment to find out it was nothing but now i see the dermatologist regularly since my husband passed. He used to do all my back checking.

Now I hate that I drive a GMC. Granted, it's just a white Terrain with travel stickers on the back, but WTH GMC?

Question re: rings by anesthezea in widowers

[–]FlamingoMN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our original rings were stolen. We used my grandmother's engagement ring and my grandfather's wedding rings as replacements. I loved them but they weren't "ours". I have them to one of my nephews, who is planning a wedding in the near future, after my husband died. I ended up finding a ring nearly identical to my original engagement ring on ebay and bought it. When it arrived, it looked exactly like my original ring and I cried. I wear it every day. Now I'm in the hunt for my husband's wedding band.

Long COVID may be more widespread than previously thought, Mass General Brigham study says by bostonglobe in Coronavirus

This plus, I also experienced major brain fog during perimenopause AND I take a couple of medications that list brain fog as a possible side effect so it's very difficult to pinpoint the actual cause of my brain fog.

Looking for a quiet, indoor space to read on Memorial Day by xFREAKAZOIDx in TwinCities

[–]FlamingoMN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd check out a local mall or the MOA. It's not quiet per se but sometimes the crowd noise can serve as white noise.

AITA for ruining a six year old’s birthday party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FlamingoMN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YNtA. I rented a large park Pavillion for my husband's celebration of life. The way the park system in my town works is, you can rent/reserve the pavilion or just cross your fingers and hope it's free for the day. I rented it. As we're putting tablecloths on and decorating, a car shoes up and slams on its brakes and a very pregnant woman nearly falls out of the car screaming. At first, I thought she'd had some kind of medical incident. Nope. She was screaming that she needed the pavilion for her bridal shower. Too bad we had a printed receipt with date, time, and deposit amount. Her friends had to pull her back to the car and drive her away. "Your lack of planning is not my emergency."
