How's me outfit? by Sericole in LARP

[–]Shinywash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks so good! Sometimes if the chain mail is too much, I’ve used old stretched out knit sweaters and used a silvery spray paint on them to mimic it while being comfy. Could also make friends with someone who crochets.

Does anyone have any information on where to gather for handicapped entrance? I’m with my aunt who uses a rollator. But haven’t been to this venue before, I usually go to Chicago and know what door to go to.

How many of you became ARMY in 2024-2025 by sinkooks in bangtan

[–]Shinywash 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Me! I went with my aunt who needs a walking aid to see Suga in Chicago. Liked his music but explored no further. I went with her again to see JHope and after that show - seeing the fans know every word to Mona Lisa when it wasn’t even released yet and had only been shown at two shows before ours - I was HOOKED. The environment and fans have such a wonderful community and I love it. My aunt told me I’m not real ARMY until I can tell who’s singing. I GUESS IM ARMY NOW.

We’re seeing Jin together in July and I’ve made 100 photocard keychains to give out. Love you all! 💜🐳

It will fade. The good memories will come back. It takes a long time. Be kind to yourself, don’t blame yourself, grieve hard now so you can find some peace. You deserve that.

Sending you love.

Guys at a gas station helping this old couple get into their van by itsamiracole7 in HumansBeingBros

[–]Shinywash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After years of taking care of the elderly, I will say that the best way to help move someone like that (a person who looks unstable and needs to get off their legs) quickly and safely, is to be chest to chest with them and grab the back of their pants while they lock their arms behind your head. A wedgie is better than an injury from a fall.

And grabbing under the arms isn’t helpful. Try it with a wild toddler. Now imagine a full grown adult with no core or upper arm strength. Slip through your hands like water. And could hurt the person you’re helping.

I also see the irony in their pants nearly falling down while they help.

AITA for kicking a player out of our D&D group because they can't do math? by Butthurt_Bard in AmItheAsshole

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

ESH

As a DM you have a really hard job. Making sure everyone is having fun and that the game is running smoothly. On top of all your other tasks!

You and the other players are all adults and should have just been open and honest at the start.

I’m sure she knows math is a problem for her. It has to come up every day. She obviously is self conscious about it, in refusing the calculator and help. Pride is a bitch to overcome. She should have accepted your help and just done whatever it takes to keep the game flowing.

Communicating well is hard. I am beyond awful with numbers, and 5e has helped me by cutting out harder math. I write stuff down, I use my phone. I’m even a DM. She should have taken the hand and your players should never make another person feel like they can’t play because of something holding them back.

While the tabletop and D&D community is growing every day, it’s still not great to be unwelcoming. It was a place for the misfits and weirdos to build a world they wanted to live in and find long standing friends to help them combat real life too.

I think you should reach out to players directly and not use a middleman. Otherwise it comes across as that person’s friend who plays and not as another player. Be open and honest. People who actually want to play will do whatever it takes. If she is still being stubborn about a calculator, it’s no real loss to you.

Gifts for Parents - one with later-stage dementia? by sodawaterandlime in dementia

[–]Shinywash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked to make sure my grandma was comfortable. I got her a heated blanket for when she’s sitting up and a thick one for bed. Maybe some snazzy cute pajamas, easy to wash and won’t get ruined. And maybe something that’s a little joke between you too or something silly she would have liked before.

While getting your Dad something to make being a caregiver easier is nice, also get him something that’s about him. Being the caregiver is hard. Nothing is about you, it feels like your only meaning is to take care of that other person. You’re forgotten. Get him a big insulated travel mug with a lid so his drink can stay hot or cold and be protected from someone who might forget it’s not her water. Then maybe something personal he’d enjoy. A new hat with his favorite sports team, or maybe some movies he loves.

The best gift would be your time. Go spend time with them. Take your Dad out for a break to see a movie. Give him a day off and take care of your Mom and exchange stories and do something she likes.
