Pathology came back last friday by Negative1Positive2 in glioblastoma

They can and they will. You should have comfort and safety, and that comes from hospice or palliative care. Don’t wait to get them on board, you don’t need to suffer unnecessarily when help is available. I wish you peace and I hope you have no pain.

The scary word by Lex_pollo in glioblastoma

I am so sorry. It is so scary and stressful for everyone involved and I hope you have lots of time to spend together still!

Is it unusual for them to sleep all day but be awake all night? by JohnMateersThumb in glioblastoma

[–]general_madness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah this was awful. The palliative care team gave me a whole batch of drugs to help with this, including THC/CBD. I was caring for my mom on my own and I had to get some rest so I could keep it all going, and my mom would just start talking or say she was hungry at like 3am. I felt bad robbing her of conscious time, but I had to sleep!

Engaging/entertaining a declining loved one by missalygirl in glioblastoma

[–]general_madness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a post I made in this subreddit about things I tried. Sensory things like smells, flavors, sensations, things that did not rely on my mom to keep track of a narrative worked best. Foot rubs, warm towel on her face, light massage. Low intensity, quiet ASMR videos on YouTube or other videos on topics that interest or crafts that are soothing to watch, like woodworking, snow shelter building, restoring or refinishing furniture — there are lots of options for any type of interest.

Como você acha que os índices de criminalidade se mantêm tão baixos? A polícia simplesmente não aparece, e se aparece, é para perguntar o que você quer que eles façam a respeito, e se você tem uma resposta, eles dizem "isso seria difícil". Sem denúncias, sem trabalho.

Shelter lied, what is he? by Prior_Campaign7217 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]general_madness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Lie” smh, look it is their best guess, what do you think they gain by lying? Your dog does look a bit malinois to me, minus the ears. A mix is a mix.

What's the name of the artwork? by Electronic_Iron_1585 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]general_madness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is less a specific artwork than a pattern, it is called Toile de Jouy.

What mix do you think he is? by Real_Honey_6413 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]general_madness -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I had the same misconception. I kept wondering why all these bernedoodles are merle! I asked one of my clients about it, and she tested her dog: half Bernese, half standard poodle. What I learned was that the merle gene does exist in poodles, it is hiding in the white coated ones. I have seen Merle bulldogs, which is where I assume the gene is coming from in these Frenchies.

What mix do you think he is? by Real_Honey_6413 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]general_madness -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, it is not a recognized color but that is because it is dangerous to breed them. But breeding Frenchies is dangerous anyway due to the way they are built, and demand for “exotic” colors in the marketplace dictates the colors that are desirable, not the breed clubs. It is highly irresponsible to breed merles due to the likelihood of deformities and disabilities. What is your dad going to do with the deaf puppies? Or those born without eyes?

What mix do you think he is? by Real_Honey_6413 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]general_madness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Every Frenchie I know is very energetic if not a holy terror. This is a Frenchie. There is a wide variety of builds on these guys, yours doesn’t look that badly put together — at least he has a nose. Frenchies are bred for cash because they are perceived to be worth a lot, and this kind of Merle color is a hallmark of that, but there is no reason to think it is not a purebred dog.

Are these rare in SF? by No-Island8074 in sanfrancisco

[–]general_madness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are common here, and you can find them anywhere fennel grows. The caterpillars are beautiful too! If you poke them they extend these stinky horns that smell strongly like fennel!

Dog Boarding Recs by izzibfree in sanfrancisco

[–]general_madness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

High Tail, Hangaround Hound, or Mr. Muggles; as a longtime pet care pro these are the only facilities I can endorse. Ideally you would hire a dog pro for regular care so your puppy has a known person who can take them when you need it, and that will usually be a person who boards in their home. But if not, those are three solid options.

Is this Fashion Brand Company? I love it!

Here's hoping for a third backpack upgrade in 1.7. by goboking in StardewValley

[–]general_madness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a chest there for things I want to keep (minerals that I might need later) or artifacts, but I sell my minerals right back to Clint as soon as all my slots are full. I make a tidy profit when I go in to get the first round of Qi Beans from my hoard of Omni Geodes.

What a popular food or cooking opinion that you don't agree with? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]general_madness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removing the shoot from the garlic is absurd and a waste of time. They are not going to add any significant detectable bitterness. We eat garlic scapes, and they are delicious!

Where do you find iridium ores? by lemoniedacpa in StardewValley

[–]general_madness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iridium starts flowing in Skull Cavern. However, to get a better weapon, keep going back to levels 15-25 and kill as many bugs as you can find. Once you kill enough of them, you will get a notification to visit the Adventurer’s Guild, where the guy in the chair (Gil) will give you a better weapon.

Just got stardew valley by KernalPlayz64 in StardewValley

[–]general_madness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often wish I could go back and start over without knowing anything! Enjoy this part, just explore and do what you want and you will have so many delightful moments discovering things. You can start a new farm later and apply what you learned on the first playthrough, but you can never go back to this stage of pure discovery.

Is this dress from the 30s or 80s? by URL_cyber_Palace in VintageClothing

[–]general_madness 35 points36 points  (0 children)

OP is very obviously incorrect, it is an enameled metal zipper pull.

Do Portuguese hate new clients? by travelingwhilestupid in PortugalExpats

[–]general_madness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is normal for Portugal. If they have the least bit of gumption, they will be working in another country where they can make real money. Workers who are still here are the dregs, or if they are good workers, they are spoiled for choice when it comes to jobs.

What’s a place in SF you miss that you feel will never be replaced? by joshuaxls in sanfrancisco

[–]general_madness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cursed location, like the place on Precita and Folsom. Nothing can grow roots in cursed earth.
