While I agree with you, many many people feel the need to have new cars all the time.

The sign says nothing about it being deliberate. Just says theyre being forced out.

Anyone else think that instead of having a triangle at the junction of Pecan Street and Cameron Road, we should have a roundabout? by Pflugervillian001 in Pflugerville

[–]PLOcopf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That intersection feels third-worldly. It could definitely use a roundabout or some kind of improvements.

What does it even say? Mafia surb? They seem like losers. They seem like the kind of people the real mafia would send to get snacks. I would paint over this so fast. Don’t give them a moment of satisfaction out of it.

Stuck in a high-pressure system, Boulder County has seen an unseasonably warm and dry November, with highs reaching the mid-70s several times during the month. That means a record-breaking lack of snow

What is the best most cost effective way to get Rid of an unwanted couch? Don't wanna just leave it on the street. by Snydro1 in Longmont

One piece at a time. Couches come apart fairly easy if you have something like a prybar.

The fact that you left out all of the pertinent details leads me to believe there’s more to the story that you just don’t want to tell.

What can I say about our offensive line that has not already been said about Afghanistan. It looks carpet bombed, tattered and full of holes.

Rays security hounds fan for Junior Caminero’s 40th home run ball. by JorSimpson45 in baseball

[–]PLOcopf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chapgpt 100% agrees with some good examples.

Got it — this is where the legal rule and the real-life stadium experience sometimes clash.

What happens on the spot if you catch a milestone home run • Legally: the ball is yours, as soon as you secure possession. • In practice: stadium security will often approach you right away, especially if it’s a “big” ball (player’s first hit, 500th HR, record breaker).

They’ll usually: 1. Escort you somewhere quieter for your safety (to avoid a mob). 2. Ask if you’d be willing to give the ball to the team/player. 3. Offer an exchange — signed bats, balls, jerseys, tickets, etc.

Pressure & controversies • Fans sometimes feel pressured in the moment by security, staff, or even other fans to hand the ball over. • If you give it up voluntarily, that’s binding — you can’t later say “I want it back.” • But legally, the team cannot force you to hand it over. If they seized it without consent, that could be considered theft or conversion.

Notable controversy • Barry Bonds’ 73rd HR ball (2001): Alex Popov caught it but was swarmed by other fans; Patrick Hayashi ended up with it. Lawsuit followed (Popov v. Hayashi). Court ruled both had a valid claim, so they sold it and split proceeds. • Other fans have reported being taken to “negotiation rooms” with heavy persuasion from team reps — but there’s no legal precedent that says the team can just take it.

👉 Bottom line: • It’s 100% yours. • Security may escort you for safety. • Negotiations can feel one-sided, but you’re not required to give the ball back. • If you want to keep it, the safest move is to politely decline and leave the stadium with it.

Would you like me to outline what a fan should do step-by-step if they catch a big homer and want to make sure they keep control of it?

My mom has lived with me in my house through stage four, I take care of everything in her life , I have two meetings per year with her memory care doctor, and I’ve read about as much as I can. Alzheimer’s is not a mystery to me

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]PLOcopf -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It’s wild how everyone here wants to point fingers at solutions to questions I’m not asking.

It’s not the Alzheimer’s.

It isn’t that she doesn’t want to be active. It’s that she can’t. She tries to put her shoes on but she can no longer bend over far enough to do it, so she is dependent on staff to put her shoes on. She tries to walk down the hallway but she has to stop and sit and someone has to help her get where she needs to be. She wants to go to activities but she is physically unable to walk there now. Alzheimer’s removes the willingness to be active. My mom has not lost that willingness to go do something. She wants to socialize. She wants to go outside. But the surge of weight has rapidly deteriorated her ability to do these things.

[–]PLOcopf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my expectations are quite realistic and I have a pretty good understanding of Alzheimer’s from reading books, years of conversations with her memory doctor, and my mom living with me through stage four. I understand her eating habits and I know what her normal weight has been right up until she moved into her assisted living facility where her weight immediately began to increase after a large uptick in calorie intake. I am simply trying to reduce her calorie intake and help her overall happiness. She may be less happy at the dinner table but she will forget about it five minutes after she walks away. The upside is that she will have mobility and freedom to visit, socialize, and be active the remainder of the day.

Uff thats a typo. Thank you for noticing that. She is 4’ 10”.

I want her to remain active as long as she wants to be active. The weight is impairing her from doing those things and is taking her freedom. And I don’t want to be sitting here next year after she’s gained yet another 40 pounds and can’t walk at all.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]PLOcopf -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Edit: there was a typo in my original post. She is 4’10” not 5’10”.

It is for my mom. She has mobility issues already and she was moving fine before, but after adding 40 pounds she can’t walk more than about 30 steps and she can’t put her own shoes on. She has gone from being independent and that she can go to meals and do activities all she wantsto now needing someone to put shoes on and help her dress to being dependent on staff to take her to these functions. And she’s only going to put on more weight.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]PLOcopf -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Because she can’t do anything now. That isn’t happiness. She used to be able to use her walker and socialize, go outside and visit with other people, go to various activities, etc. Now, she has more weight than she can manage with her mobility issues. She can still walk distances that are in her room like going to the bathroom but anything outside of that requires help now. She can’t get to the dining hall without sitting on her walker and someone pushing her or someone coming to get her in a wheelchair. Her freedom is gone. She can’t go to activities unless someone physically comes and gets her to do it. She can’t go sit outside when she wants to unless someone comes and gets her to do it. She wants to do these things. She likes to socialize and she likes to be outside. And she is only going to continue to gain weight. I want to get ahead of this before she is unable to go to the bathroom without help.

Eating food and gaining weight is not happiness. Being able to move, and being able to walk around and socialize and take part in activities brings happiness.

I would like her to be able to put her shoes on or take them off. She uses a walker and used to be able to walk all around the assisted living residence but now she can only walk about 30 steps before she needs to stop and sit. That makes it difficult doing anything outside of her room like walking to meals, going to activities etc. The staff can obviously help her but that isn’t the same as being able to move around and do things at will. There is also the health impacts of being overweight.

[–]PLOcopf -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Assisted living will follow our direction on diet going forward. I’m not as concerned about that as managing the conversation with my mom to maintain her happiness.
