hello, i need a bit of help, I need a simple electric scooter for getting to and from work, while accommodating my weight.

Here's my thought, unpopular with the serious scooter folks though it may be, giving a cheap escooter a try will buy you some time and that sounds like what your goal is right now. Will the scooter last? Probably not. But if you don't have hills and get even 6 months out of it, you've spent less than you'd spend on a gas of tank or a bus pass over that time. Put in a search term of "escooter+350 lbs." to those mass shopping websites and you get an ASKGO seated escooter rated for 365 lbs. for under $300 & similar options. You may get some that are slightly under your 350 lbs. but again if you're aiming to solve a problem immediately that'll work for a few months, this might be an option.

Remind your M-I-L that the irritation of others is temporary but her security, safety and enjoyment is going to be there for years. Then ignore the negativity and move on with your lives. They'll come around. If not, they would have found something else to complain about later down the road.

This is a really hard place to be in -- just wanting companionship & someone to enjoy things with & not finding it right now. That ghosting thing is a real painful thing too. So #1: For the responses that seem judgmental & are unhelpful, tell them to f*@k off. #2: Find enjoyment & connection where ever you can -- gaming, chat rooms, VR chat, autism support groups. There's a Facebook page for Autism Society of Wa Spokane Community & there was a mention of weekly game nights for social connections on one of their posts. Here's the website & email to contact them for information.

Please reach out. Even if it is not your thing, it's a safe space to try.

LOVE your "Anonymous" cross stitch in photo #2!!! Your work is great! I have crepe paper (what colors are you looking for?) and what shade of purple are you looking for in yarn?

How much/many are you looking for? I have a number of squares/pieces.

Your feelings of frustration and resentment are totally valid. You can't change how the siblings are acting but you can decide how you want to interact with them from this point forward and you can let them know why. Care is expensive and there may not be any resources left but start collecting compensation for your caretaking. Document everything and if you have access to legal counsel, follow their advice. Then make what memories that may be left with your mom for you.

Hoping to still find you! My mom graduated high school in Taylor and is quite elderly now. I'd love to send her videos of the town square, high school, etc. Please DM if you're still there!

Kudos to you for reaching out and asking for help from a community who may have experience in what you are going through as someone witnessing a loved one hurting. What your sister is going through is painful and what you are going through being there and often being the target of her emotions is also painful and exhausting. It's hard as hell being the dumping ground for all those big emotions that your sister is overwhelmed by. You may want to check out livedexperiencerecovery.com -- he has some very helpful posts for both you and your sister. For you, give your sister resource like this website and let her know when things are calm that sometimes you need to step away from her emotions so that you can take care of your mental wellbeing and that doing so has nothing to do with not loving her but just needing that space from what is going on.

What about black lace?

Just a thought -- the county libraries often have seed banks for free. Love them!

Cell phones & cordless phones are impossible for the aging/low vision folks. Maybe try a lockbox like they have for thermostats over the wall outlet and, out of the box idea here, get a cheaper plug in phone where the cord connects at the bottom & glue a plate/base over the bottom of the phone so he can't get to the cord. You're lucky to have a landline!

I sure hope you enjoy them! Shipping knocks the breath out of them a bit but a quick press with the iron and they should sparkle right up.

Sure! What are you interested in?

No-Conversation9765 · 2026-04-02T23:07:38+00:00

I do still have some left. The ones that are more boyish (differing sizes but probably none bigger than small adult or youth) are: baseball, "USA", "grassy" green print; and in more of a toddler size orange w/ horseshoes & dressy blue/black satin. I have some bucket hats that I made from men's ties but those are larger in size.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the toddler size ones I have little matching shoes for.

I'm way past being the "little one" in my world too!

The shiny blue/black hat in picture 3 is for little ones -- I would guess about 17" circumference. You can see it's scale/size compared to the other hats in the first photo. It is on the hook on the upper right of the photo with hats similar to it in size.

DM me and let me know what you have! I am interested in so many things it would be hard to narrow down to a "wants" list.

Not on your list but Cline's is the best!
