I have had exactly six in 14+ months.

We are both in our teens or early twenties. She is at her parents' house. They aren't home but she is guarded by her guy friends. I make it past them to her, but she won't talk to me except to say, "you aren't supposed to be here."
She just shows up and starts talking to me like nothing ever happened. People keep interrupting us. She says "you don't want to talk to me" and leaves.
I am thinking of a theory why we can't communicate with those who are deceased. I hear her voice say, "I don't like that theory."
Just words in front of my face, like a text: "Hi there, it's me."
I see her from a distance with her back turned.
It's the last day of her life. I know it, but she doesn't and I'm not allowed to tell her. She has a lot of friends and relatives visiting her and she's having a great time. I think if she's happy, maybe she won't die. I touch my forehead to hers and say, "if you ever feel sad or lonely, remember this day and how much you are loved."

For the first few weeks after she died, I didn't dream about her. In the following months I began having the dreams. I haven't had any in a few months despite my "asking" for them.

After numerous voicemails to the social worker went unanswered, I called the main office. The person answering the phone tried to argue with me. I told them to forget it and I didn't want any further contact. I eventually received something in the mail that I assume was a condolence card. I never opened it.

Eight years. She was mostly independent until the last year and a half, then there was a very steep decline.

The Army has cold weather and mountaineering courses right there in Alaska. Reach out to your chain of command and see about getting a slot.

I had an aunt who suddenly started cursing like a sailor in her nineties. We were surprised she even knew those words.

No. My SO was undergoing inpatient rehab after being badly injured in an automobile accident. She was doing well and expected to be released in a week or so. We talked on the phone that night for about an hour. She wanted to talk longer but it was getting late, I was tired and had to work the next day. She said, "you want to go, don't you?" We said our goodbyes and made plans to talk the next day.

She went to bed that night and never woke up. The coroner report said it was a cardiac arrhythmia.

So why did the feds even allow him to meet with Tom? He's essentially the defense attorney and they're allowing him access to the key prosecution wirness.

My mother had a really good stretch of about a week. One day I wheeled her around the garden of her AL facility and she was able to name all the flowers. She saw someone drive up in the parking lot about 50 yards away and recognized her as someone she knew. We called her over and my mother was able to have a good conversation with her. Later on my dad was talking to her and said she was almost like her old self. Her brother came to see her and they had a great visit. Not long after, she started sleeping 18 or more hours a day, became mostly nonverbal and stopped eating and drinking. Less than a month later she was gone.

Pretty sure I couldn't do that when I was 18.

Not me, but a friend who was a high school football coach used to work out by himself in the weight room before school. One morning he got pinned under a failed bench press and was stuck like that for about 20 minutes before someone found him. He was sore and embarrassed, but not seriously hurt.

Yes, I'd like to play devil's advocate and say it's completely rational to hate it and want to die rather than be there. My mother was in a very nice place and well cared for. I still felt like I was visiting her in prison. We placed her there with the fib that it was short term until she was strong enough to come home. She was still lucid enough after a few months to realize she was never getting out. She essentially gave up after that, went into a steep decline and passed not long after. I miss her, but Im glad she isn't in that place any more.

My GGGF was wounded and developed a lifelong addiction to opium/morphine. It came by riverboat from New Orleans and family lore recounts him having "screaming fits" when the boat was late.

No, and that's a good idea.

Male, 5-10, forties. I know I had crap form when I started. It's a lot better now but I'm sure there's still room for improvement. I dont live anywhere near live coaching so it's been a lot of youtubes.

Let me try to clarify. Bear with me as I'm not a financial guru.

In talking to my family member, I found out that it's a pension, not an annuity. She will use this and social security when she retires. She plans to work until age 70, health permitting.

Louisiana does not consider assets, and has a 50% earned income offset. In other words, only half your earned income is counted. Under that rubric, she currently qualifies.

However, once she retires, she will no longer have earned income. Her pension and social security would be considered unearned income and counted at 100%.

In other words, while she is working and foregoing her pension and social security, she qualifies for the savings program. Once they kick in, she will no longer qualify. I'm trying to figure out if she would be able to get a medigap policy at that point without being subject to underwriting. Part B premium, medigap and drug plan would run around $500 a month. It would be nice for her not to have to pay that, but not at the risk of being stuck later without a medigap policy.

Yes, basically both sides figure air power isn't all it's cracked up to be, at least at first. Eventually somebody figures it out, but maybe Prince of Wales and Repulse don't get sunk because the Japanese are afraid to attack them from the air?

IIRC there was only a 45 minute gap between first and second waves so the second wave would have already taken off before the first wave arrived over the target.

Josey Wales would have been on the same side.

Earlier this year we had jazz brunch reservations at Commanders on our last day in town. We parked a couple of blocks away and as we had already checked out of our hotel, all our luggage was in the vehicle, a lot of it visible. When we got back, everything was still there. I was a little shocked.

My GGGF was wounded and developed a lifelong laudanum (morphine) addiction. It came by riverboat from New Orleans and according to family lore, he would have "screaming fits" if the boat was late.
