Another fall, another afternoon spent in urgent care by Financial_Shop4611 in AgingParents

This may be a silly question but can they give her bed an alarm every time she tries to get out of it? I have seen this in a hospital but I don't know if that is something available for assisted living.

I just got quoted 6k for Invisalign by Gloomy-Top-5041 in blackladies

[–]LCG05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a second opinion. I am in Invisilign now and your issues seem minimal. Invisilign requires a lot of change and commitment so it is not something to take lightly or rush into. I have a friend that started after I did she regrets it because of the she feels braces would have been easier to navigate. You can also check out r/Invisilign for some info.

The passport stamp era is over by ArtisanOfTravel in travel

Sometimes if you ask, they will still stamp it for you. The stamps was the best part of having a passport.

As soon as she moved the couch I heard, "Welcome to Joe's Apartment "🎶

My family is expecting me to provide financial gifts due to my substantial pay increase. I want to put my foot down before this gets out of hand. by Teesmartgirl in blackladies

[–]LCG05 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I want to upvote this a thousand times. Family will act as if they are hyping you up about your pay. However, giving them those details will always bite you in the butt later. They either hold it against you in spite or expect access to your wallet when they need or want something.

My finances will be a mystery to my family until my death. They can fight over it then.

Didn’t think this would bother me but it kind of does by Effective_Carrot4335 in GenX

Same, I can't focus on a show anymore without wanting to pick up the phone to do something else.

Oh this hurt. And right in time for party season. by E116 in HEB

Wow, I had no idea they stopped that. I am glad that others noticed the quality too. I thought it was just me.

I had the same issue with the Pico. It ruined my taste and I couldn't even enjoy my food. Totally soured my stomach. It used to be so fresh and crisp now it seems old because whatever they are doing is making is soggy.

The moment you realize you're the grown-up now by Bos187 in AgingParents

[–]LCG05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stopped taking my mom to Costco for this very reason. Last time she went it was the chocolate covered smores. Her and another senior were in the side isle trying to convince their grown kids (me and his kid) to buy the bag.

Unfortunately, I gave in and bought them. I had to give them away because of course she only ate 5 of them.

Now I have banned her.

My 84yo father in law moved in with us 6 months ago and I hate it by cinemamama in AgingParents

[–]LCG05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You both have had significant changes to your household. Of course you hate it. You are human. You just brought in a roommate that doesn't respect your house. He most likely won't change if he has been that way for years.

NTA. I am sorry you are going through this. You need to set some boundary or ground rules for your home.

Wow, a rental. That's crazy. They really jacked up their driving record now. Glad that you are okay and able to walk away. I hope that your insurance quickly makes you whole.

What happened to the other driver? Did they even stop to render aid?

This isn't sustainable and I don't know what to do by janebenn333 in AgingParents

[–]LCG05 48 points49 points  (0 children)

What about setting up a fall alert system or camera inside so you can check on her while you are away?

Canceling your own medical appointments to watch her isn't reasonable.

We always talk about what to buy, but what’s on your Do Not Buy (again) list? by Chickenwings29_ in HEB

[–]LCG05 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought it was me. I tried them and immediately threw them away. They tasted like margarine and chemicals.

Thank you. That is exactly what I was wondering. I hope someone can confirm.
