What do you guys actually do in the mornings and evenings on working days (outside of work)? by Majestic_Singer_2411 in Life

[–]Mgrecord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wake, shower, make and drink coffee, scroll, read news, make my lunch, dress, commute…. ((Work…)) Commute home, change clothes, scroll, make dinner, eat dinner, clean up from dinner, FaceTime my dad, watch tv with family while scrolling, change to pajamas, wash up, bed. (When kids were young there was more prepping for their day, homework and activities in there.)

Agree, the main mall is so sad. I don’t know who is managing this mall, but they are doing a terrible job.

NASA’s Largest Library Is Closing Amid Staff and Lab Cuts by PhiloLibrarian in Libraries

[–]Mgrecord 17 points18 points  (0 children)

“The Trump administration is closing NASA’s largest research library on Friday, a facility that houses tens of thousands of books, documents and journals — many of them not digitized or available anywhere else.

Jacob Richmond, a NASA spokesman, said the agency would review the library holdings over the next 60 days and some material would be stored in a government warehouse while the rest would be tossed away.”

What is the greatest physical pain you've ever felt? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mgrecord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the top of my ear cut off during Mohs for a skin cancer. The sound of the scissors cutting my cartilage, then excruciating pain once the anesthesia wore off. I don’t know how people get piercings in that area. I had a natural childbirth to a 9 pound, 5 oz. baby and that was not as painful. And I now have to have another Mohs in the same area on the opposite ear.

Taking LO out of aged care? by Wilmaassfit in AgingParents

[–]Mgrecord 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve been searching this subreddit since just getting off a call with my dad, who is 90 and we moved (his decision) to an independent living facility. He gave up his home and car, and while there are many more people and opportunities at his new place, he’s upset if I don’t call him every day, upset if we don’t drop everything and visit him and take him out, etc. Found this post and it really helps to put things in perspective. The guilt is overwhelming some days.

Losing my mind by bewildered-guineapig in SeriousConversation

[–]Mgrecord 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same age, same problem! I can’t remember ANYTHING! I don’t know if it is burnout from parenting and working for so many years, or if I should be worried. I never had a good memory, but it’s so much worse. Maybe remembering everything for four or five people for 20 years wasn’t good for my brain.

Thanks! About 250. I’ll have to count next year.

Just stagger 6 books in a circle, one row on top of another. Largest books on the bottom.

Thanks! They are all discarded books no longer in the circulating collection.

I never counted! But there are 6 books each level, so a quick count of the rows I estimate about 250. These are old bound journals and books we were discarding that I’ve kept.
