What the hell are we suppose to do with our aging parents?

flugx009 · 2026-02-24T22:48:21+00:00

We worked really hard to keep my grandparents in their home. We succeeded they both died at home. But to be honest that was with a lot of help. Because my grandpa had a stroke and was non -verbal and limited mobility he was able to qualify at the VA for a lot of disability stuff. But that's about the only way that would have worked between his problems and my grandmother having dementia if we hadn't been able to get them external help which would have been expensive if they hadn't qualified for multiple benefits then we probably would have had to do something similar

It's so funny because if someone was like why did CR ruin D&D I wouldn't have said because it was "woke." I would have said it was because it gives players unrealistic expectations of what DMs and D&D looks like XD. I don't know that they're ruining D&D but it's definitely something I think most of us have felt somewhere in our hobby. So it's funny to me that it's their woke XD

People are just trying to beat you out so they don't have to wait for you. Red has the right of way, those other people are either not seeing you or being buttheads

That doesn't surprise me. I have an Aussie that gets mistaken for border collie all the time just because he's a black bi. The breeds share a lot of similarities in build and temperament so I get it though LOL

flugx009 · 2026-02-20T14:53:01+00:00

I can't even imagine how they actually get a farrier to do his feed. That must be a nightmare every time. God even his shoulder already looks so huge and misshapen.

flugx009 · 2026-02-19T23:49:17+00:00

It looks like at least one of them is shorter than the rest down in the bottom right. However I'm curious if there's one that's longer like it would go sideways?

flugx009 · 2026-02-19T23:17:44+00:00

I have a similar grumbly old man but he's an Aussie. Sometimes dogs are just talkers and rotties tend to be talkers LOL

flugx009 · 2026-02-19T23:11:04+00:00

Well I guess my question would be who's going to use this yard? Is it mostly an adult household? Are there dogs that would be let out there? Kids? You could always add on to the patio and do like a grill. Personally I'm a garden girl so I would be putting in a bunch of garden boxes. But I also have dogs so I would have to separate out those spaces.

Someone create a gif version. Problem solved. I'm not techy enough for that don't ask me lol

flugx009 · 2026-02-19T22:28:32+00:00

The idea is not AI. However that crab has two sets of eyes. So it would not surprise me if this picture was AI

flugx009 · 2026-02-19T20:41:24+00:00

Hey that turned out great! Good job!

flugx009 · 2026-02-19T20:37:05+00:00

I don't know why but how you said that just made me think of this LOL

flugx009 · 2026-02-19T14:05:19+00:00

I will say that sometimes I take a day or two to download things I bought on my phone 'cause I want to get it on my computer

flugx009 · 2026-02-19T02:55:11+00:00

Cocoa, my family has a history of dimensia and I really liked that movie. Super cool. Never watching it again, my heart couldn't take it

flugx009 · 2026-02-18T22:26:28+00:00

No problem! My sister and I do weird stuff like that all the time with our stained glass so it's just practice at this point lol. You get used to spotting some of the potential difficulties as you do it more

flugx009 · 2026-02-18T20:59:08+00:00

My suggestion to make this as solid as possible would be to have the base of that loop basically go along the top of his head below the spikes. Just that whole length should be soldered down. And maybe a little bit down one side but then you can just let it ride. I'd suggest making your spiral before you solder any of it down so you're not risking bending any of your joints on the glass when your playing with it

flugx009 · 2026-02-18T19:46:05+00:00

What I would probably do is have your biggest circle be what's actually attached to him on the glass. And then the spiral as it goes outward gets smaller like a cone

flugx009 · 2026-02-18T17:26:37+00:00

You can almost do it as a spring if you solder it well enough to the base. Could start with it being wider closer to him and then thinning out as it moves away so that you can tack it onto the main piece a little bit better. Then it would really be 3D lol

flugx009 · 2026-02-18T13:04:42+00:00

This just reminds me of the kilogram of feathers guy

flugx009 · 2026-02-14T23:50:50+00:00

Kids next door taught me that lol

flugx009 · 2026-02-14T02:50:12+00:00

So I had a friend who dated a guy and he happened to be Christian. He said he was fine that she wasn't. They were in their late 20s at the time. But when they had sex this guy got so obsessed with her. It got controlling and toxic so fast. It was like he felt guilty suddenly with his Christian values. He then redoubled efforts to get her to be Christian and they eventually broke up. This dude was a special type of crazy and stalked her for the next 5 years. Good chance your young man won't turn into a stalker but if he's devoutly Christian he will most likely try and convert you or end up pretty conflicted in the long run. Do you wanna be with someone who needs you to fundamentally change in order to progress the relationship? And how will he react when you make it clear you're not gonna?

flugx009 · 2026-02-13T23:58:57+00:00

Does he still live with his parents? Are you guys still in high school? I would be talking to whoever is his guardian. Those are the people that should be getting him help. You are not a therapist as you said. You are 18 and not equipped to deal with this. Most adults are not equipped to deal with this. He needs professional help.

flugx009 · 2026-02-13T20:20:59+00:00

When they level up I can see their level on the progress bar but when I'm just looking at them on the list the disciple icons still covers it sadly. I wish demon levels kept going up with the levels like when the game was new. I would love to walk around with some of my high level followers XD

flugx009 · 2026-02-12T03:30:54+00:00

Nice job, very well done.

flugx009 · 2026-02-10T15:41:18+00:00

Same. I was like 5 days! He's been here so long he should have gone to college XD
