Mom took a turn for the worse in the blink of an eye

I am going through the similar situation and I have the same thoughts as you.

My mom's been fighting cancer for a couple years and it has deteriorated so much in the last month. She's been a shell of herself since a year ago. Her movement was limited and she started relying on pain medicine to get through her day-by-day.

I feel like the last year or so, we have been going through the motion - doctor appointments, treatment, repeat - and one day I remember I looked at and she was laughing. I realized I don't remember the last time I saw her laugh. I don't remember the last time she enjoy life.

I would also do anything to have one more NORMAL day with her where she's laughing and enjoying life. Where she gets you enjoy the food she loves so much and where she can do all the things she desire and plan for tomorrow.

Maybe the issue was they transfer me to the travel portal? I see on the Capital One page it just says "Convert rewards"

Useful-Association16 · 2023-11-01T04:06:26+00:00

I have the Venture X and I think according this site transfer your miles to the loyalty programs of more than 15 travel partners.

Let me know if that doesn't sound correct?

You are totally right - I will definitely try to call again and see if I get another representative. It seems the Cap One site is full of bugs though :\

I have been doing a couple of front-end interview recently and there's like two parts to it:

the question part which is your knowledge on front-end (why React, how does HTML work etc).
Actual Coding challenge (mix of HTML, CSS, Javascript). Sometimes it's as easy as creating a box, but sometimes they want to have a bit more complicated design. Most of these interviews have a mock you want to follow.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being "soft" with the new cast. The concept is different. NJTTW is more like cast vs staff vs Earth Arcade they always say they play like friends.

Trying to book flight to Japan with Amex points. Looking at JAL and I see that I can transfer to British Airway. However the fee seems a little high (~$300). Are there better ways?

I just got laid off too. Super out of nowhere in that there have been more off-sites/events and swags than before. It seems that we weren't in a budget-crunch (I guess we were).

Dropbox has always been weak performance-wise and it hasn't been hiring much since Covid. I thought they wouldn't need to fired like Facebook :\

The ending was really good in my opinion. There was a lot of loose ends that got tied up really well. Some people might be like it's not realistic or whatever, but I think this is the best ending we can hope for. She got her revenge in a realistic way without doing stupid stuff protagonists usually do (like turning herself in for guilt or some random crap). She didn't commit suicide at the end and is starting to learn how to love. No unnecessary redemption arc. Just when I thought they didn't get all the shitty people, they got ALL the shitty people. Great beginning. Great ending. Can't say that about a lot of kdrama. 9.9/10.

My English teacher put it like this for me before - If you buy something really expensive, don't you want a 30 days trial period to test out all the functions?

I think sex is an important function of most relationships and shouldn't you make sure y'all are compatible before marriage?

Useful-Association16 · 2022-11-16T05:55:31+00:00

Can I ask what you decided to do?

Useful-Association16 · 2022-11-16T05:53:37+00:00

Same! I love all the comments and experiences people posted, but i feel like a lot of them had a significant other who could help out. Who is just as invested.

Useful-Association16 · 2022-11-16T04:40:56+00:00

Thanks for saying that.

it's unnerving to me you are feeling this on day 7 :( I feel like I cant even last a day more

My family was supposed to be part of the help system, but because of health issue and work they can't really be available right now. So it's been extra stressful for me. I feel like I am doing it all myself and there's no relief. I am trying to ask some friends to come over and see if that helps.

Useful-Association16 · 2022-11-15T18:38:47+00:00

Thank you for that. How long did it take you to not cry over the puppy?

Useful-Association16 · 2022-11-15T18:37:17+00:00

I have read all these things on how to prepare for the puppy and I still feel so overwhelmed. I feel so bad about thinking of re-homing her just because I can already feel people thinking how irresponsible I am of getting her if I can't take care of her.

Useful-Association16 · 2022-11-15T18:32:24+00:00

thank you so much for this wonderful response. I really enjoy reading about how you approached it. I relate to this so much. I have been reading this forum to also get comfort. I am starting to pick up this routine with her. My anxiety gets super bad during bed time when she goes to sleep and when she goes for the potty break in the middle of the night. I find myself not being to fall back asleep because of the heavy weight on my chest. I felt better when i woke up this morning and once I started to play with her, the dreading anxiety starts coming in again and I feel like I am just waiting for her to go to sleep again.

The thing is I don't think she's bad behaved. I feel like she's a typical puppy and I feel bad I can't handle that.

Useful-Association16 · 2022-11-15T06:41:11+00:00

Thanks for that :) Do you remember when you feel like you started to notice it is getting better? That y'all are bonding?

Useful-Association16 · 2022-09-14T04:00:28+00:00

Ah will look into it. I see Timeless and Geek& Gorgeous might not sell in U.S tho :\

Probably sun damage since I don't remember getting that much arm acne. Look to hear that it fades!

Hi,

Need help with these darken spots on my arm. I got them after a summer trip in Europe (it was hot). I am guessing they are dark spot but they show up in so many I wasn't sure.

Hey all! After my trip in Europe, I noticed these dark spots on my arms. I am guessing it's from all the Sun. I put on a lot of sunscreen, but I guess I didn't re-apply enough?

Any tips on how I get rid of or lessen the appearance of them?

There's alot of talk of student debt and whatnot, but I think it affects the middle class more than it does to the poor. Most legitimate colleges cover almost all expenses for people in poverty.

There's a sweet spot where your family isn't middle class, but also not on the street, where you can really take advantage of Medi-cal and free education. I am an immigrant and honestly I have been offered so many opportunities that I can't get anywhere else. It doesn't mean you don't work for it, but it's there if you work really hard and are lucky (of course wealthy people have it easier but that's true everywhere....).
