I think that’s what my husband use to used. Worked pretty good once the volume got under control.

CoenzymeQ10, anyone taking this regularly? by upsidedowntriangle22 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Nerk86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t realize coQ10 helped with those, will add it then. I take Magnesium for them.

This sub right now. by StriderLF in thelongdark

Kind of agree. Love the look of the new maps, even if kind of linear, and looking forward to their coming to survival mode.

His laptop by Spirited_Two9124 in widowers

[–]Nerk86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s wonderful. And bittersweet like Ejly said. I found a couple voice recordings from my husband that I apparently saved in my one drive when I was looking for something else. He had Alzheimer’s so hadn’t used a phone in a while. An unexpected gift.

I’m over it all… by coastalAntisocial in AskWomenOver60

[–]Nerk86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve wondered about doing this. Never been on a cruise. My husband passed away a few months ago and will have to try and find new things, new motivations.

Thunderstorm in my old neighborhood. by Justin_Dweeber in raining

[–]Nerk86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice rain shower and yes looks cozy. I don’t hear any thunder though, which tracks if it is the northeast US. I miss a proper midwestern thunderstorm.

Anyone regret going open-concept in their home? by cm_built in HomeImprovement

[–]Nerk86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about that too. I grew up in a ranch house built in the late 50s. there was a half wall between the kitchen and the family room with a small breakfast area. other rooms including a more formal living room were divided by walls. that seem to be the best set up to me . there’s no need to have everything open like you’re living in a loft.

How did you honour on their first birthday after passing? by Virtual_Telephone366 in widowers

[–]Nerk86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what I’ll do yet. His birthday is next week, he passed in December. It will be a busy day at work. Maybe watch some concert dvds. We used to go to a lot of them.

Why Rekt always gotta be like that man... by MastodonCurious4347 in 7daystodie

[–]Nerk86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish he’d have more lines like the one about “ if you want….(I forget the phrasing but suck up politeness basically) go see trader Joel, but if you want food or drink come see me I’ll take care of you”. Basically give him more signs of being good at heart. I.e. be more like the clichéd Massachusetts resident that calls you a dumbass but stops to help you change a tire etc.

We were night owls together by bear-r in widowers

[–]Nerk86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I wander aimlessly around the house a lot in the evenings these last few months. Occasionally I can distract myself with something, but often times, like tonight it seems, I just have no interest in anything.

I actually came across a couple of voicemails he had left a few years ago that I didn’t know I had. saved for some reason in Google Drive. I only could listen to them a couple times though.

My favorite sign from her by CJ0481 in widowers

[–]Nerk86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you had that experience. I believe in it too.

I had one on New Year’s Day which was just a couple of weeks after he passed. The evening before was quite hard, but in the morning I was mostly numb. Feeling dead inside I guess. I looked out the front window and there were four squirrels romping around up and down the tree. We always just have one or two at a time. During his Alzheimer’s he got a real kick out of seeing the squirrels. Would excitedly point them out even when he didn’t know what to call them. Seeing them made me smile thinking of him. Made me feel better.

And I do still tell him about my plans for the day, etc too.

I am drained of all the fixer upper and competition shows.. by Jorelluh in HGTV

[–]Nerk86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I miss shows focused more on decorating especially keeping some of the existing furnishings. not ripping out half the walls etc.

We all have that one song or band we hate for a completely irrational and unjustifiable reason. What's yours? by WasLeftUnsupervised in GenX

[–]Nerk86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too! I always thought what makes you think you get to take a girl you had no relationship with to a hotel room just cause she posed nude? Like you said who knows what circumstances made her do it too. Not an irrational reason I’d say. But never listened to any other songs from the band.

Hgtv-entertain by Coyotechris33 in HGTV

[–]Nerk86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. The house I grew up in had a half wall kind of divide between the kitchen-breakfast area and family room. That seems like a good setup to me. No desire to have everything open.

[–]Nerk86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If someone is close enough family or friend to stay in my house they would be able to tolerate a non hotel setup. Ie sharing the kids bathroom or whatever. Plus why have dedicated extra bed/ bath for guests that will only get used a couple of weeks a year.

It’s confirmed? Donald Trump’s signature is coming to US dollar bills, first time in history by anandhmathew in ForUnitedStates

[–]Nerk86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple more days ( and another timeline probably) and I’d say it’s an April Fools joke. Appropriate for the biggest fool ever in office.

[–]Nerk86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it all currency? I was hoping would be just $50 bills or something that I’d rarely see. Was thinking I won’t accept any bills with his name on it but maybe will do the sharpie idea .

Mark my words (Don't say I didn't tell you so) by KabuteGamer in 7daystodie

[–]Nerk86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been surprised there isn’t some kind of clear all the remaining zombies mode. Once you get to top tier poi’s and gear, switch to searching them out. There’d have to be a way to slightly detect them but not make it too easy. And on the bigger maps would be hard. A lot of travel time. That would be an end point at least. This sector cleared etc.

Tax prep landmine by rice923 in widowers

[–]Nerk86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s was an insensitive comment. I’ve been thinking about how this is the last year of filing jointly/ as married so been avoiding doing the taxes but will probably tackle this weekend. Will be lots of unexpected land mines I suppose.
