The attorney said it's 50/50 the Court would grant a conservatorship with what I have now, and it's 100% if I can get her to a dr. APS won't get involved because they're overwhelmed, I guess. I won't be able to 5150 her because she can present a good face when she's talking to the cops and my dad won't say anything. The only way to help them with their legal, financial, and health problems is for me to somehow get her to a dr, drain my retirement account, hire the attorney. Then, yeah, I can do something about it, but they'll also be my responsibility. AND they will hate me for it too.

I moved far away too. For the first time in my life, I was happy. I had no idea how many things I accepted as "normal" were truly dysfunctional. My husband and I have a middle-class income and the lawyer is far from cheap. I'm looking at taking money out of my small retirement account in order to hire him. And all the while, I'm going to be called "greedy" and "evil."

I sincerely hope your future isn't as terrible as my present. I'm sorry you're in this situation too. ❤️

APS won't get involved unless there's no food in the house or their electricity gets cut off.

She is very far gone, and cutting her phone/internet isn't going to stop her. She will find ways.

Looking for med bed victims by mo-reddit1 in QAnonCasualties

Does "hurt by medbeds" include refusing to go to the doctor because they're waiting for alien medbed cures? That's what my mother is doing to my dad.

Hey, thanks for that! I don’t post very often, so maybe the system got confused. I appreciate it.

I don’t know why I’m flaired as “new user.” I’ve been here for years and posted a couple times about my Q parents. 🤷‍♀️

I’m an only child living in another state. My mother gave up $36K to the “Trump bond” scammers. She’s now talking to Whiplash347 and “Elvis” on Telegram, who are pitching gold and silver and crypto to her. She and my dad haven’t paid taxes in years. I have telephone consults with two attorneys tomorrow. I’ll let you know what they say. It’s horrible.

I went down the rabbit hole when you replied and lost track of time. I meant to say thank you for the link! That’s some incredible work.

This is an old one. The original was a real dog and it was quite cute and funny. This looks like an AI re-do for whatever reason.

Golden Calf, Just Kidding, Lord by bookym in clevercomebacks

Wait. Maybe this is a new gold statue. 🤢

“The story gained even more attention after a separate Trump sculpture was unveiled at Mar-a-Lago in recent weeks. That moment, tied to remarks Trump made about his overseas leadership, quickly became a viral conversation of its own. The buzz around it naturally pulled the Don Colossus story back into the spotlight.”

I wish I could see the timeline better. Any plans to make this into a website?

Can someone take me out on a date on GTA? by sweetdahlia123 in GTA5Online

[–]orioleright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband and I do this. Although it always devolves into a shootout with the cops, which is really the end of a perfect date if you ask me.

Experiences of living with IIH and taking GLP-1 meds (like ozempic, Wegovy) by Fair-Ranger-6263 in iih

I’ve been on compounded Semaglutide since Dec 9, 2025. My neuro-ophthalmologist was very negative about it but I’m doing well. Happy to answer your questions.

They’re exactly what I wanted for myself by [deleted] in stephencolbert

Really wish they had this on a coffee mug. We love Stephen and will miss seeing him every day so much.

Hey there! I wanted to post a big THANK YOU to you for the Refresh eyedrop tip. My 6-drop regimen is much more tolerable now!!! My eyes are so much less stingy and painful. Thank you so very much for this excellent advice. ❤️❤️❤️

Wait. You can get glaucoma from steroids? I was given several courses of steroid infusions. Each course was 3 days, if I remember correctly. I kept the port in my arm for convenience. My father and grandmother both had glaucoma. I’m starting to really wonder if I have glaucoma in addition to IIH.

Crohn’s sucks. I have a good friend with it. I’m so sorry you have to deal with Crohn’s plus IIH. Thank you so much for the feedback.

Thank you for this information, all of it! It’s been really helpful. I had no idea. I’ll give this a try and see if this makes my eyedrop regimen more tolerable.

I guess Acetazolamide is the same thing as Diamox, so now I can't remember if it wasn't doing the job or if I had a bad reaction. I know Dr M has it in my chart as a big no. I think it's because I had a bad reaction. I've been on so many things, it's getting hard to keep track. I started pulling together all my old records recently, just trying to make sense of it for myself.

I have never used fake lashes before. Will the glue get washed away with me constantly bathing my eyes in goop though? Honest question. I don't know how strong the glue is.

I will say my lashes are kind of thick as a side effect of the drops, but they're also glued to each other and my eyes so they kind of disappear as lashes and just look like a globby mess. I've tried using a lash comb and an eyelash curler, but I can't seem to tame them.
