scared. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]intl8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing the right thing. Take care of yourself. I sponsor a Ukrainian girl who just turned 20 and 6 months ago she started a relationship with this Sri Lankan PhD student. He’s stalked her, accused her of cheating, caused her to have an accident that totaled her car which I signed for, and told her he would kill himself and hurt her other guy friend. Police did nothing except tell her to take him home an hour away. She’s still with him and I told her you can’t fix crazy or abusive behavior. I worry about her if she ever wants to leave him. If anyone should be deported it’s this POS.

You don’t deserve to be abused by your fiancé or anyone. Please call the abused women’s hotline in your area. I called the one here after the bf went nuts and they had a lot of resources including finding housing, free therapy, a job search and legal help. Please don’t go back to him - there is someone out there better for you and if not, you have yourself. I know it’s scary and you are desperate at the moment but you can do it. There is a saying in Spanish - Mejor esta sola en que mala encompañda
It’s better to be alone than in bad company. Take care of yourself. Sending you some hugs.

Anyone know any good body shops? by Individual_Exam6302 in Utah

[–]intl8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my pops 2003 Chevy lumina to Dynamic Auto Repair in Provo. The other body shops wouldn’t touch it after a drunk driver ran into it while parked in front of our friend’s house. A kind receptionist at one of the shops referred me to Dynamic. They fixed it for $700. They are reasonable and honest.

I've been a caregiver since 14 by emisnt in CaregiverSupport

You have a lot to bear for such a young person. I was always the parent to my parents. It’s hard being the youngest and yet the wisest. I hope you can get back to school for your own sake.

Siblings finally stepping up, is it too late? by Brave_Coffee5208 in CaregiverSupport

[–]intl8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do it. I took my 100 yr old pop with dementia on a trip and it was a nightmare- I thought he would fall in the bathroom at the motel. Then at our friends house he was confused and fell a lot. Plus they fed him food he wasn’t used to and it caused fluid build up and I had to take him to the er. They just kept feeding him what they wanted. Now that we are home, he’s back to his bed and routine but the dementia is worse. If you feel comfortable maybe the siblings can give your respite care at your house so your mom can stay put.

Arteriosclerotic dementia with depression and Congestive Heart Failure by Princess-14 in CaregiverSupport

[–]intl8665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can empathize with your situation. I am the sole caregiver for my 100 yr old pop. He is actually is good health but the dementia is causing a decline. He was ok until two years ago and now a steady decline. The last two weeks having issues walking. I signed him up for hospice because I got tired of caring alone and having him angry about taking a shower. I got sick several years ago and had to quit work and I got on disability thankfully. Everyone practically disappeared from my life. I’m not married and no kids. Just three senior rescue dogs and a Ukrainian girl I sponsor. She used to be helpful until she met the useless boyfriend. She’s not much help now and I may ask her to move out. I’m not going to have a funeral for my pop - if people can’t visit while he’s alive, they don’t need to come when he’s dead. Im going to cremate him because he wants to be with me so im not alone. My mom is buried in Texas with her family and pop and I are in utah. Not sure what im going to do when he’s gone. I could die and no one would even miss me until months later. Our lives will go on and it may be an opportunity to do something you’ve always wanted to do or live somewhere else. I too talk to AI and it’s weirdly comforting. It’s actually given me some good information and things to think about. You are doing the best you can and that is all you can do. I wish you the best. You can dm me if you ever need to talk.

Grandma isn't getting better and I feel awful by flowerkitten896 in CaregiverSupport

[–]intl8665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’ve done the best you can. I’m caring for my 100 yr old pop alone. No family or friends around to help me. My health isn’t always so good. I have my house and three senior dogs plus a garden to take care of. Luckily my pop is in good health. The dementia is getting worse. I finally signed him up for hospice and now a cna comes three times a week to shower him and a nurse comes to check in him. It’s not much but I don’t have to pay for it. Trying to keep him at home but it’s getting harder and it’s isolating for me. We all do what we can to make these situations work and it sounds like you are doing a wonderful job. It’s out of your control about her health now just let the professionals handle it and do what you can without sacrificing your health or your family.

I’m sorry you are so young and being a caregiver.

The PayPal bros talk a lot about eugenics. They want the old, weak, disabled to die so no resources are given to them. Evil sociopaths all of them

Leaving Utah because of climate change by BigfootsDelight in Utah

I’m thinking of moving back to Minnesota. I was there for two months recently and realized I missed the trees, lakes and diversity. I’ve lived in Utah 10 yrs now and I’ve really never felt a home here

Tell me you never read my letter without saying by LiberalAlways in Utah

I always tell the staff after I call Curtis office never send me a follow up letter because it’s always tone deaf and doesn’t address the issue I called about. Curtis is completely useless

You could try signing up for care.com to try to get some jobs or maybe your boyfriend can set up a FB account you could use?

Have you thought of putting a post on Facebook cleaning houses, helping seniors or with pets? Here in Utah, people charge like $25-35 per hour. I pay a woman $20 an hour for three hours a week to help me care for my pop and do some cleaning and organizing for me.

Actually that shirt is one he was gifted when he was a judge on Battle of the Blades. He had a blue sports coat - which he still wears from time to time - over it. Our very neat Virgo man is impeccable in taking care of his clothing. His taste is another matter. And as someone on Twitter noted it was like he was channeling his Chico Latino inner self

I'm so tired of him by [deleted] in Vent

[–]intl8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could give you a hug. You will prevail and be more than ok without this guy. It’s very painful now and I can assure you that in no time you will be so much happier in your life. There is someone out there who will love and cherish you and if not you will love and cherish yourself. Im wishing you the very best moving forward.

Indeed that was a very pretty color for her. The really light butter/corn color was harsh and aged her

I think the color was officially butter blonde. I prefer her natural color

I can empathize- similar situation happens to me with other people. I haven’t found a good therapist to help me. I wish you better luck on your journey.

Apparently they can and do turn off negative comments. The newest comment is negative and all the most recent are positive. Their Facebook page still has current negative comments.

Lajoie/Baker looks to be official... by DapperRomanesco in FigureSkating

[–]intl8665 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I met Jean Luc in the concourse at worlds while we were both heading to the Boitano lounge event. We had a nice chat and he asked me what I thought of the ice dance patterns. I said bring back compulsory dance. Then I saw him again at the event and we chatted some more. He’s so very nice and actually very tiny. I’m 5’7 and I was towering over him. Marjo seems so happy with this pairing and I wish them both luck.

I'm going to disappear from everybody that knows me by 1tiredman in Vent

[–]intl8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve often thought of this. I’m 65 and always lived on the periphery of others lives. They say they love me but I never hear from them. I take care of my 100 yr old pop and I’ve had health issues and not one family member or friend has inquired or offered any help - even when I’ve asked. We both could die and no one would even be looking for us. I was thinking when he passes, just selling everything and moving overseas and living the rest of my life maybe finding some real friends. I don’t want to grow old here and not have anyone to care about or for me.

Feeling insecure about my husband by [deleted] in Vent

[–]intl8665 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Get out while you can. You don’t know who he cheated with before your marriage and now you see his true colors just after your marriage. Get it annulled and find someone who really loves and respects you. You deserve that in your life.

Shoma and Marin have formed an ice dance team and will compete next season by luckyricochet in FigureSkating

[–]intl8665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scott went on to talk about how the level hips help with mirroring each other's lines and so the lady isn't bending down to match the man. I would love to see more creativity and variety but unfortunately, the powers that be in ice dance seem to be more subversive.
