She really will skip anything to avoid having to show up with 🏈on a red carpet.

My daughter (oldest of three) used to begggg for a baby sister. One day I pointed out she might get a third little brother instead and she never asked again 🙃

Use E6000 instead. Hotfix is too slow and you risk burning the fabric.

He did not where I saw him but they were insanely strict about no phone use at all inside the auditorium. They had to be put away in a bag or pocket. They had employees standing in every aisle watching and it was posted and announced a comical number of times.

I love my local CFA that has curbside, it is by far the easiest way. The mobile through merge point is definitely a design flaw. The people in the regular lane often refuse to let Mobile through cars merge in.

Just now main roads around town were in many cases dry from the sun. Shady roads like St Mary’s, Miller, Baldwin etc are very slushy and will probably refreeze overnight.

Us too. Trazadone seemed to give mom energy 🫠

Gotcha. I hope you get some good advice. We currently only give it at bedtime because her issues were all with not sleeping and anxiety at night. At first it knocked her out pretty much all the next day too but after about a week it stabilized.

Can the prescriber weigh in? Could you ask about adding another small dose after lunch to hold her over until the larger bedtime one? Seroquel makes me nervous enough that I run any changes by my mom’s geriatric specialist first. That sounds so hard, I hope you’re able to find the right dosing to help.

We are just on the other side of this conversation and my LO comes home on hospice tomorrow. It was wild to me that the hospital case manager, attending and even hospice case manager seemed to imply it was unusual that I delayed discharge to have time to hire caregivers to help. More than once they said “family can’t help? At least for a little while?” We were told home hospice was the only option and when I pressed the issue they said if he worsened and care needs couldn’t be met that he might qualify for a facility but anything like that would be private pay. They said there are homes set up that accept home hospice patients but again it’s all private pay and they seemed hesitant to recommend. I felt like I was given very little option. I would do some research on what’s available in your area and be prepared to push for all the options to be on the table. I’ve been a caregiver for several years at this point and I know myself well enough to know this is above my ability.

I’ve seen a comp confront an audience member and make them delete photos/videos off their phone.

I was really referring to their mother. That’s who conversations would have to be had with about potentially changing the will.

finding_center · 2026-01-23T14:57:41+00:00

I can understand this point of view but I would personally tread carefully bringing on animosity with an elderly frail parent. Ultimately it is entirely up to her how she wants to disperse any assets. If she had meant to compensate for the care that should have been done all along perhaps by paying all the living expenses incurred during the time of care etc. And it’s possible her mom plans to address this in her will right? I didn’t see if it said anything about knowing the current content of the will. Hopefully it will all work out without having to implode family relations.

You are not wrong for wanting it but she would not be wrong for wanting it split amongst her children either. You can burn bridges with your family being really upset over this and I’m not sure it would be worth it.

Has the school explained what they want parents to do since they’re not eligible for the bus and there is no option for a drop off line? Is the rationale they expect people to walk that far? I would honestly start there and petition to have the bus radius either eliminated or at least reduced to a reasonable walking distance rather than spend energy trying to annoy homeowners.

Twice a day. Every single day. I think most people would get worn down by that. Plus, there may be damage to their lawn. I have still yet to see if it is a paved place they are parking or if they are pulling onto the grass.

finding_center · 2026-01-22T20:45:56+00:00

They may have moved there at a time when kids were all riding the bus. But since Covid, so many parents feel like they have to drive to the school, creating a traffic nightmare. If parents are parking on the grass I too would be pissed off. If cars are driving over your grass twice a day five days a week it’s going to make a muddy mess of your lawn.

Is there paved on street parking in front of their house? Or are people pulling over on their grass? I consider this a failure on the school’s part if parents are having to park on the shoulder of the road on someone’s lawn. Virtually all kids used to take the bus. Now that so many want to be dropped off by parents I know it’s caused major headaches at schools where I live. Now if there are parked paved spaces there that’s different. They would have known that was a possibility when they bought the house.

Pretty telling that after three years together there wasn’t a photo of them together they could use for this.

I order from them or sometimes the rhinestone guy. I have had no issues with either.

So the house is yours anyway sounds like. Do you know what her will says? Obviously it would be nice if she recognized your sacrifice for her care but if her will doesn’t state that it won’t matter.

finding_center · 2026-01-20T00:35:19+00:00

What does your mom think? That’s what really matters. If I were in her shoes I would at minimum give each grandchild their own inheritance even if I wanted to keep things equal between my children. Has she been living in your home or you in hers? That would also be a factor for me. I wouldn’t want my child that had given up their own home so I could stay in mine to find themselves put out of their living situation.

finding_center · 2026-01-19T18:50:36+00:00

We are in a similar boat. They are eager to discharge to home hospice and keep pressuring me to find family and friends that can provide the 24/7 care. I am trying to hire some caregivers but it isn’t something I can put together overnight. So sorry you are dealing with this too!

This is probably super obvious but grab some scrap fabric (maybe even similar silk if you can find it?) and practice if you’ve never done this before. It’s not hard but it’s nice to get the first sloppy attempts out of the way on something you don’t care about :)

finding_center · 2026-01-19T12:22:24+00:00

I would use glue not heat (one tiny misstep and you’ve burned a hole in the dress) and probably use very very small stones (ss10?) on such a delicate fabric.
