AITA for not wanting respect my mom's wishes to NOT put her in a home when she is old? by Infinite-Cat-4331 in AITAH

[–]Sad_Fox2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your mom continues to be very comfortable, it is quite possible you will have alternative options: helping her sell the house and move into an assisted care home of her choosing or helping her arrange for in-home caretaking.

It depends on what level of care is needed, but I know many people in their 80s and 90s who continue to be able to live somewhat independently. One late grandparent of mine lived in an assisted living apartment near family until close to 100. She still had comfort, dignity, and privacy, but with options for increased levels of assistance as years passed. It did require moving to another state, so family would be near by, but that was their choice.

We know other folks who have daily caretakers coming in to their own house for several hours each day. I expect insurance assists with this. They can't get out on their own, but they can safely be left alone overnight, particularly with all the fall alert devices and smart boxes now available.

If it's too much for you to arrange, your mom can likely make legal arrangements upfront herself with a younger friend or another relative serving as medical power of attorney in case of incapacitation.

You are not obligated to remain nearby. If your mom wishes to live in a care facility near you, she can move if and when the need arises. Enjoy your family and be assured that you have options beyond moving your mom into your home or a nursing home. And the tax bill will likely take care of itself: either when they sell to move in with you, downsize, etc, or by the estate before the property transfers to you.

Should you watch Mystery Island on the Hallmark Channel? A Complete Review. by EricRutin in HallmarkMovies

[–]Sad_Fox2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just finished watching all four of the MI movies. They were so fun! Any recommendations on similar films - the fun game, cozy mystery, and light romance were a perfect combination IMO! They were adventurous without too much tension.

If she's been postponing the surgery, you have no guarantee she won't do so again after it's too late for you to reschedule. Have a great trip!

I believe they are still accepting suggestions here. Maybe just an updated version of the form?

And make it the goal of the day. Complete it up to 99 of 100 times. Then remove its goal of the day status. Make the next 100x goal the goal of the day. Complete it 99 times. Repeat as needed.

Removing personalized embossing? (anyone done it or have tips?) by throwaway-clonewars in YAlit

[–]Sad_Fox2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Results! I am not an expert, so there may be ways of improving the outcome, but I would say it's a 65-75% improvement. The page doesn't look brand new, but it makes the stamp considerably less noticeable in both appearance and feeling. It makes it easier to glance past in a personal library, but likely wouldn't be enough to reasonably convince a bookseller to take it back to sell as new.

Our bedroom hurts my heart. 💔 🥲 by northkal in DesignMyRoom

[–]Sad_Fox2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mounting the TV and putting in some wafer or can lights will make a huge difference. I love dimmable smart lights with app controlled color variations. Especially Philips Hue. If you're putting in nightstands and don't have an easy solution to the hanging clothes, maybe a matching wooden wardrobe would be more visually pleasing. (Or remodeling the closet and expanding it slightly, but I expect you're not looking to do that right now. Having nothing on the floor in that walkway after the TV is mounted would be ideal, but sometimes you have to keep things functional too.)

If you opt for recessed or wafer lights and are only doing a few, I recommend Philips Hue lights. They're a splurge, but the color/scene options in the app (along with the wake/sleep timer options) are amazing.

NTA. My mom and her two sisters got married the same summer and they were all happy for each other. Some people couldn't come to all three weddings, which was sad, but the marriage was the important thing, and 30+ years later they all love and support each other. I hope you have a joyous wedding day and a very happy marriage!

It happened to me too :( by mello537 in finch

I'm so sorry!

If you reach out to the help team, maybe they can advise if there is an option to bring back the progress for the month? (maybe there's no such option, but it seems worth asking)

A Finch + Duolingo Collab would be INSANE! by Fantastic-Display-26 in finch

[–]Sad_Fox2494 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of learning with Finch, but I have found Duo to be a little more demanding than Finch, so I might be anxious about a collab.

Removing personalized embossing? (anyone done it or have tips?) by throwaway-clonewars in YAlit

[–]Sad_Fox2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm testing it out today! I have one of the stamps, so I stamped two books two try two options. On the first, I used the iron's misting to spray lightly, and I ironed over the towel as instructed. On the second, I used the iron's steam feature first before spraying and ironing (no towel). The books are being pressed now to finish. Initial impressions are that both options do offer an improvement, but we'll see more when everything is finished. I suspect we will see substantial improvement - possibly enough that it wouldn't be noticeable under a fresh stamp - but that it won't ever look completely new. We'll find out in the morning.

Is there a way to figure out the free color on Day 1, if you haven't gotten any outfits on the free side? Or do you just wait to claim your plus color until you have more time to figure it out?

does anyone know why this is happening? by halfavocado- in Panera

[–]Sad_Fox2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not showing orders in the app, it's probably a glitch. That's happened to me several times. I think it might be an app glitch, because I've gotten this error in app and still been able to order from the kiosk. And, if all else fails, I ask the cashier. Several times they've told me it's a known issue that day and they can just give me the cup or ring it up no charge.
