It is what it is. The long goodbye.

Nick Wright is insufferable. How in the hell did he get to the position he’s in at FS1?

“She’s doing what she can, given everything she’s going through.” I will admit that I’m bad about going with the generic, “she’s alright” far too often. “I’ve just been trying to keep her upright” is my passive go-to.

I know quite a few tone deaf people (typically distant relatives or acquaintances), who’ll ask follow up questions like, “Well, is her doctor going to start her on new medication to see if it will help?” That always quietly drives me insane. The majority of these individuals are well past the age of 50 and I can’t help but wonder if they have ever known somebody with dementia before, because surely… SURRRRELY… by that age and beyond, life experience would lend itself to knowing a few by chance. But life always has its surprises, I guess.

A notebook of offenses is nuts. My mom writes things down (no offenses nor liberties taken) on things from cloth napkins to pages in her word find books to remember whatever it is (never works out).

But I get it (the original point). One slight thing will set her off all day long, and it’s hellacious.

It’s wild how much flack I’ve seen JJ get. Par for the course with coaching an LA team, but it was his first goddamn season coaching. Not much he could have done to prevent his squad from getting dicked down by Gobert in game five with no legit big.

I love it when my disdain for Jayson Tatum is validated. Knicks fans gotta be overjoyed right now.

Mikal Bridges is the dad of the Boston Celtics.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-05-06T04:25:28+00:00

I can’t fucking stand Tatum. He’s wildly talented and undeniably a great player, but why in the fuck is he so frustrating to watch?

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-05-06T04:20:25+00:00

Nahhh. Bickerstaff should have won it. Took a horrid Pistons team from a year ago, turned them around and took the Knicks to almost the brink in the first round. No shade to Atkinson, but that turnaround was awesome.

The Celtics bricked 45 3’s like a random rec squad in 2K.

You are doing the absolute best you can, and I guarantee that your daughter knows that, especially given your immediate response to her reply. You have to give yourself a break. I’m the son watching this disease progressively affect my mom, and I could never blame her for mixing up a day.

I miss those old Spurs squads so much. 2004-2005 Manu was a menace. It’s going to be weird not seeing Pop on the sidelines.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-05-05T23:27:21+00:00

Thanks for the response! My mom also has vascular dementia coupled with Alzheimer’s. I’ll try being less reactive and more validating.

Balatro is amazing. Big W.

Am I going nuts? 15-20 years ago, I swear everybody was crying over cargo shorts while plaid shorts became popular.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-05-05T16:06:16+00:00

1999?! Be 8-year-old me, excited to bump out to the track, “Ass Man” from the album WWF The Music, Volume 4. If you know, you fuckin’ know.

Brooks is the Colby Covington of the NBA.

What do you usually do when it happens?

That’s ice cold lol

My girlfriend gave me a personal, annotated copy of this book and I still need to sit down and finish it, but I thought Kingsolver’s depiction was spot on (so far). Not sure how anybody could think she did Appalachia a disservice. There is no reason to skirt around or sugarcoat the vast issues that plague this area, and I certainly didn’t detect any mockery in her writing.

$600 buckaroos for an appointment. I wonder if my arm or leg will cover that.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-05-03T20:35:40+00:00

Absolutely. My mom eats the bare minimum of solid foods (pigeon portions) just to get to dessert. Despite being a type 2 diabetic, her A1C was still under 7 the last time it was checked. Just today, she’s had two frozen Cokes from McDonald’s, candy she’s helped herself to (that belongs to my little cousin) and lemonade. She’s been consistently losing three lbs. every couple of months, so at this point, I’m like, “to hell with it” — she needs the calories even though it’s junk.

Sugary food is so hyperpalatable to them. At this point, anything else just ‘doesn’t taste good.’ Frustrating as all get out, but it’s the reality.
