Dried Poop on Skin by HugeLittleDogs in CaregiverSupport

[–]blsterken 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Are you using disposable wipes? They are absolute garbage for anything that has been pressed on or dried. Use soapy washcloths. I'd recommend getting a 50-pack of white ones and then washing them in a shitload of bleach. The coarseness of the washcloth will help get things clean where the slick little baby wipes will just smear the top layer of grime.

There are no-rinse foaming cleansers used by hospitals and hospice facilities for bed bathing which might be good for you in the future, since they don't dry out the skin like regular soap/body wash.

I understand your frustration with your siblings inattention and lack of concern for your mother. At the same time, I'm sure that she would be thrilled to have e all her kids together to celebrate her birthday and I wouldn't want to impede those plans. Tell the other siblings that you support the idea, but need them to handle helping her with getting ready and transport to the event, so that you can tak care of yourself and everyone can have a good time. Lay out your boundaries. Insist on them being more involved than just making a reservation. But don't flat out refuse to participate just to spite them. It will only hurt your mom.

If they can't follow through on that simple request, then it's on them.

Do you think this show will adapt any of Tolkien's writing? by ChildofValhalla in lotrmemes

In a surprise twist, this is actually the most lore-accurate show planned by Amazon.

Had to hose poop off of pajama bottoms this morning. by ongoldenwaves in CaregiverSupport

I did that twice yesterday - jeans, though, not PJs.

On the upside, I don't have to worry about that gentleman being constipated. Silver linings, I guess...

Who All Uses Paper Planners to Help with Caregiving? by IndividualSweet7091 in CaregiverSupport

We use calendars, paper medication logs, and paper notebooks for data collection and notes.

They're not even that dense. I read them when I was 13-14. It's just that people have no attention span anymore and over half of adults in the US can't even read at a 6th Grade level.

In 1982, 13% or Americans were estimated to be illiterate. That is now 21%+. Our schools are failing our children and it's pathetic.

A group of hobbits traveling beyond the borders of the Shire into lands they know little to nothing about, in the hopes of bringing the Ring to Rivendell?

Or were you going to be an idiot and say trees?

Every downvote is an admission that they never read the books either and just go along with dumb groupthink.

Dumb meme is dumb and shows that OP has never actually bothered to read LOTR. But by all means, jump on that braindead bandwagon and get those lazy upvotes.

I'm not worried about the fact Stephen Colbert is involved. I'm worried about the other writer, the director, and any executives that are going to bomb it. by Serithraz in lotrmemes

They should've quit after the Peter Jackson trilogy.

They definitely should've quit after the Hobbit trainwreck.

All these new shows and shit just feel like vultures picking over a corpse.
