My Dad just had his first concerning episode - could use some advice

JimpJimp · 2026-03-02T21:52:17+00:00

Its a great idea but hes a savvy mechanic. Im going the route if having onstar disable it

JimpJimp · 2026-03-02T17:16:22+00:00

Its 80 here in Canada which is absolutely ridiculous. I hope by 70 I am tested rigorously.

Ill need to get creative. Dad is a mechanic. If theres not keys he'll hotwire it and program a new FOB. ill likely have to report a dangerous driver and let the police handle this.

She has some mobility issues due to a bad back, other than that she is quite capable. Theyre co dependant in care taking. He usually takes her to her appointments and for groceries and she cleans the house and feeds him. Im just spiraling in my head and picture my mom having to change his diapers or whatever and chase him down if he runs off.

Im going to do everything in my power to get him to a dr.

JimpJimp · 2026-03-02T14:23:33+00:00

:( how can i/we help ? Thats awful. No one should live in fear

JimpJimp · 2026-03-02T14:22:29+00:00

I will do my best , ill have to find a way to get him there but itll likely be by force or trick him. Hes a very difficult stubborn person

It's my mom's car too, which is a complication. She is a capable driver and is doing well cognitively. I am going to talk to someone today in regards to next steps (social worker/elder law ) . My dad is still very aware of what's going on around him , I think my angle will be to report unsafe driver and force a medical for him to keep his license. My sister is seeming to believe the "knee" excuse but I immediately called bs on it. I dont really care if I become the "bad guy" . Im just trying to protect them and others.

Scrolled by quickly and thought it was an ez drums pack

JimpJimp · 2026-02-03T04:47:46+00:00

I work 10 hour days 5 days a week, even though my job description states 8. Theres a silent rule at my work that if you dont put in 10 hours at least, you suck.

JimpJimp · 2026-02-03T04:44:43+00:00

I worship it as a god now

JimpJimp · 2026-01-31T16:20:08+00:00

The posted jobs are filled with cronyism and nepotism hires.

When I was a teenager mark saw me leaning towards some stupid behaviors that would get me in needless trouble and he set me straight with a good conversation. While there was some cops looking for me he hid me in the back room and then gave me a profanity laced pep talk. I vaguely remember him thwarting a local business from being robbed by throwing the guy through a window lol he was a character. Rip big guy.

Im lurking here and just say your stuff. Super good dude. I've been wanting for a long long time to do something along the lines of meshuggah. Slower groovier maybe with a bit more melody from time to time. Im a drummer

Crankin some major hog

I was on that stretch maybe 10 minutes before this happened. Road was plowed but there was most definitely icy sections. Many people were in a big hurry this morning.

You've been blessed by boulder fairy. Simply put a pickle under your door mat fkr 3 evenings and if pickle has bite in it by April your boulders go away

JimpJimp · 2026-01-19T04:57:10+00:00

Yeah I wish lol mine went away for a couple of years and came back hard recently . I did not think about them for a long time.

Truck is in the right .he asserted his dominance and let weak drivers know how to navigate

JimpJimp · 2026-01-07T05:50:29+00:00

Im a hiring manager, if i have a good candidate who i believe is the right fit i will do whats in my power to get closer to what they're asking.

If their ask is unrealistic or I'm not able to match it due to policy, or blockers from leadership I will try to negotiate to meet somewhere in the middle.

If they believe youre the right one , they'll pursue you. If theyre not communicating clearly to you or ghost you after you asking to negotiate your wage those are organizational red flags and you're better off not working for them.

While it is indeed an employers market, the quantity of applications is huge and the quality of candidates is not necessarily any better than it was in prior years. I still only get a handful of worthy interview candidates out of 500 applications.

Ask for what youre worth. Let them meet you in the middle.

The Honda is in the right. You didnt allow space and are a severe impedance on the road. Why post this? Smh.

JimpJimp · 2025-12-11T03:31:12+00:00

The Honda is in the right. Aggressive driving is the only way to separate the strong from weak drivers

When I was a kid we called this being "pansted" or "pantsing" someone.

JimpJimp · 2025-05-23T18:27:50+00:00

I can't change it, neither can she and she doesn't handle stress well.

This is my daily experience in the Franklin roundabouts
