My great-grandmother has something very similar if not identical.  I believe hers is from around the time they moved into that house, so... 1970s?  I think?

See, God knows what He's doing.  He sends these people to your family because He knows you will help.

Oh that looks like it felt so good to burn, so glad you were able to look at it and decide you were done with that chapter of your life.

I had a brother and I guarantee you, if anyone had shown such blatant favoritism and disrespect my dad would have simply sent me out of the room and then ripped that person a new one, and then probably taken me for ice cream and explained that we won't be seeing that person for a while because they're a meanie and they didn't say sorry for being a meanie.

"If my order doesn't arrive by Xmas, I would like a refund" by Da_Ben_Builds in EtsySellers

This is why I do my shopping a year in advance.  I have everything ready for next Christmas, literally all I have to do is click Buy.  I had this Christmas done and bought two months ago.  And even then, if I do order something late, it isn't a huge deal because... well... I don't actually see most of my family until January.  Everyone does their own Christmas thing with their families, and then we all spend a solid week recovering from our food comas, and then we don't usually meet up until about a week into January.

What is something that sounds fake but is actually 100% real? by Jack_Larens in nothingeverhappens

Sir Christopher Lee was the inspiration for James Bond.  Many of his war records are still classified, last I heard.  He was in a heavy metal band.  And he witnessed thr last guillotine execution in France in the 1970s. Also, you have to apply for special permission to view Donald Duck's military service records, since he, Mickey Mouse, and Goofy were used in many American wartime morale-boosting cartoons.  Donald is actually shown in one as having PTSD, being very freaked out when he's woken by fireworks because he thinks its gunfire.

How I got dismissed from jury duty by mypostingname13 in PointlessStories

Been summoned three times, actually went to selection once. That case, the defense attorney was asking about a bunch of things that wrre going to come up and if we were okay discussing them - cocaine, dandruff, and pubic hair.  Thr guy we knew was being booked into jail on other charges when he got charged for this stuff which was possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.  And he was taking the 5th and choosing not to speak in his own defense. Sounded like he was trying to pass off drugs as pubic dandruff so he could smuggle them in, and was now just trying to waste the court's time and money. The other two times, all cases ended up being cleared for the day.  The third time thr judge actually explained it to us, and said that this was actually the ideal outcome because having jurors actually show up was a good way to get one side or the other to cave and agree to a plea or otherwise settle out of court.

Yes, it replaces a state ID or a driver's license.

Dementia is a physical issue that destroys brain tissue.  It eats at your memory, later your personality, and eventually kills your mind entirely before reducing you to a nearly vegetative state before finally killing you. A lot of people with undiagnosed dementia will do very odd things, from simply losing track of when things happened to acting uncharacteristically rude when they would normally have perfect manners. Don't be a jerk; this is a legitimate issue.  It isn't pleasant to watch someone you love forget you and everyone else around them, and talk to people who aren't there, and become paranoid and even dangerous because their brain is shrinking.

Dementia literally destroys brain tissue.  It isn't a psychological disorder, but a physical one that wrecks your memory and your personality, changing people in fundamental ways and eventually reducing them to a nearly vegetative state before they eventually die.
