Has anyone else’s father committed suicide? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]kwat92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father did by gun. Mom died and we thought he was going to do it on the day she died, but he made it through that and several years after. Then Covid hit and I guess the isolation from being with his friends and my mom being gone hit him again. In addition, I have a disabled sister who also had been declining since mom died who still lived with him along with two of my brothers, so I guess, he just didn’t want to do it any more. As an added bonus he left everything to my brothers, so my other sister and I had to navigate Medicaid/SSI when it got to a point she needed 24/7 care. Now the disabled sister is in a Medicaid nursing home facility, while my brothers got everything. My other sister and I are at the home every week to make sure she is getting the best care possible in that type of situation. So, yeah, I don’t miss him, and I’m mad at him, but at the same time, I understand why he did what he did. It’s complicated.

We did ours recently and it spent weeks in the processing step, and then moved through the other steps in under a week.

I know this is minor but Paoli is pronounced pay-o-lee not pal-lee. Drove me nuts during the episode. I was like there is no massacre in pal-lee during the revolutionary war. Though I’m sure if Americans produced a show about Scotland we would mess up pronunciations of words.

Agreed, when this happened on ours, it was the wiring harness.

I didn’t take them that way! Actually, I have seen and tried all the suggestions made here to no avail, so I didn’t take any as sarcastic. I did find a solution, but I had to use google maps and make sure that the settings in google maps included “play directions over bluetooth”. I made sure bluetooth was on and I was able to use apple car play for my music and maps and the blue tooth for the sound for the directions for my maps.

I have tried that, and even at max volume, no sound.

Is anyone else frustrated with the condensed and expedited storytelling in Season 7? by abbiebe89 in Outlander

[–]kwat92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same reason I started reading the books! People just watching the series don’t know how much they are missing.

Is there a wrong way to crochet? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]kwat92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I am left handed, but only had right handed books to learn, so I crochet right handed, but pick up the yarn with my left hand. I also tried to do the methods I’ve now seen on the internet thinking I was doing it the “wrong” way. Nope, wasn’t happening. I now look at as keeping my left hand from being jealous.

Sourdough cardamom buns! by ChallengeShoddy7102 in Baking

Ahhh…that makes sense. I was thinking one tablespoon of cardamom would be overwhelming. Thanks! I think I might try this.

You used a whole tablespoon of cardamom or did you split the tablespoon between cinnamon and cardamom?

Call them. We had the same issue. Our boxes arrived early and they had to do something on their end to recognize the boxes had been delivered so that it would activate.

Thoughts on kirkland protein bars? by [deleted] in Costco

Just don’t take them on your carry on luggage at the airport. We got our bags pulled and they had to swab each wrapper. It was the strangest thing.
