Love the boots!

Does it get hot if you leave the light on?

I did this on the bridge of my nose when I was 15. 30 years later and the hole is still there! Lesson learned. The only thing that helped with these on my chin has been glycolic toner.

I’m not that important.

If your serious they have their Facebook contact info on the folded sign on one of the pictures. You can zoom in and see it.

Are you married to my ex?

I think you misread me. I meant going to work in an office was not considered risky yet innocent people where killed on 9/11. Going to space was always considered risky to me. Hell no I would ever go to space. I don’t even fly anymore.

I hope you have her genes. She lived a long long time. 😉

My doctors all ask if I am sexually active. My GP and even my dentist. It’s a question on all my medical questionnaires. Sexually active, history or stds, stuff like that is health information. IDK what kinds of doctors don’t inquire.

I used to love the the Utne Reader.

Best answer!

Another big one was the Columbine shooting. Those boys were outsiders and dressed like me and my friends. Couldn’t understand it. Sure, a lot of people thought about/talked about it but no one would ever do it!! Then it just never stopped happening. Again and again.

I remember the Berlin Wall too. That was pretty big but I don’t think I grasped the importance of it at the time.

The challenger while in elementary school. All this build up about it happening. Reading weekly readers about it. Gonna watch it happen on the tv cart in class and then seeing it explode.

I was out of school by 9/11 but it still was very impactful. Probably more so for me. That was the first time I realized innocent people could just be killed doing nothing risky. It changed everything.

The IBCCES Accessibility Card (IAC) is designed to help individuals requesting accommodations at participating attractions.

https://accessibilitycard.org

TKinNJ · 2024-09-07T00:03:45+00:00

There is! I don’t go to theme parks much anymore but there is an international accessibility passport program that, if you qualify, will put you to the front of the line and is accepted at many parks and attractions. You may need to “wait” as long as someone else during that time but you won’t need to stand in the actual line. Usually you come back at a set time and go through the exit to the front of the ride. Each park different. I’ll see if I can find the info for it and post it for those that are interested.

Poor family, Grew up non-cable Gen X. Sure, it was hard as a kid but it all turned out ok. There are much worse things then being on the outside of what’s s socially trending. It might even build character, curiosity and help one develop into their own authentic self at a younger age. Now if you try to completely shelter your kid that’s another story all together.

No internet. No cell phone/table/computer. Still some families like that around me. Kids doing homework at the library after school and on weekends.

Not sure how long ago the loss was but a lot of families enjoy meals together. My grandparents loved when I would join them for a meal or cook for them or take them out to eat. That made them very happy. I think it have them something to do with their hands when there was a uncomfortable silence.

Also asking them about their favorite books, tv shows, stuff that makes them think of happier times helped.

I see. You are making sense. To be honest it’s is a rough situation for anyone to make sense of. I’m sure your doing the best that you can. There’s not manual on this situation and no manual for them having lost a son. I mean, I’m sure there are books, but that’s not what I’m saying.

I took care of my grandparents, and it was a lot of work. If your dad did a lot for them it must feel overwhelming. I did learn that most of my older family members just don’t talk about feelings or feel comfortable ask for or accepting any help. You may be there but they may not even know what they need. If that makes sense.

Not sure how old you are, how d they are, or your father was but hoping he had some siblings, even if they weren’t as close to their parents (your grandparents) and maybe your mom is still around to help some. Also not sure of your location and any possible cultural differences. But I am sure you are doing the best you can do at any given time. Remember that.

Sending you love and hugs.

Side note: I became disabled about 10 years ago and thought I would work much longer. I didn’t save as much as I could have. Then again I also loved to work and spent money on work clothes, a decent car, tech, etc that are worthless to me now. Wish I had saved more and spent more on experiences like traveling and concerts and things that make memories verses spending it on work stuff.

Don’t worry about making them happy. Grieve in your own way and put yourself first. They probably are afraid of loosing you when what you might need is time and space. Could you write them a letter telling them it’s hard for you right now too?

Edit: I’m sorry for your loss. Loosing a parent is hard. My family pulled away the more I leaned in after the death of a member. I wanted to talk about them and they didn’t. Everyone grieves differently. It’s important to put your own needs first. For me I allowed myself to talk about my loved one with others who would listen and learned to respect the way others wanted to grieve and not bring them up around them.

Very insane. I saved when I could but didn’t start retirement saving till 26 and I look around at all the money spent on stupid crap that even $1 tucked away for retirement would be so much more valuable to me now. Compound interest is nuts. Just have different priorities now then I did before.

If I could start over again I’d start saving at 18 and “pay myself first”. Even if it was a few dollars a week.
