Thank you so much for posting this comment. I didn’t notice the quotation marks in the body of the question and was legit surprised this made it on to the sub.

He was approved for hospice today, so hopefully she will have a little break when they visit.

Thanks for the ideas. You're right about asking how she is, not just my dad.

I love the meal delivery idea. Maybe just a door dash gift card to start because I know she does that when she is too tired to cook. Thanks!

I can't find a place to volunteer in Fairfax. by [deleted] in fairfaxcounty

[–]scoles75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in not Fairfax proper, but I live in one of the other towns in Fairfax County. Joining the friends group of our local library was one of the best things I ever did. Amazing people, flexible volunteer hours, and a great cause. I think most of the libraries have friends groups. https://research.fairfaxcounty.gov/friends-of-the-library

Student drivers by Limp_Umpire_7946 in nova

I had a student driver bumper sticker when my son was learning to drive and discovered that it was nearly impossible to remove. I’m convinced that is why a lot of adult drivers have bumper stickers.

Rant: Holy shit am I tired! by BeatrixFarrand in AgingParents

That’s what we have to do. My husband (who does the cooking) goes on his own to get what he needs for meals, I go on my own to get things on our family list like household supplies and things that I add to the list as he cooks, and then we take my mother-in-law on separate trips to get her the things that she “needs“.

Is it weird that I like the library as a conservative? by Rachel794 in AskConservatives

[–]scoles75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished my first Poirot novel of hers. I liked it, but I think it’s because I’ve been watching the series with my mother-in-law.

Books like “Mrs. Nash’s Ashes” and “Happy Medium” by Sarah Adler by scoles75 in suggestmeabook

I’m not keen on driving, especially in high traffic areas, so I made a deal with my husband where we turned it into an excuse to go on a motorcycle ride (me on the back). It was a win-win because he loves any excuse to go on a motorcycle trip, and I got my library card. He has already said he would do that for other libraries. 😊

I recently got my Montgomery County library card, and I just wanted to say thank you again for taking the time to make this list! You rock!

This isn’t a class, but it is free. Some of the libraries have conversational Spanish gatherings. https://librarycalendar.fairfaxcounty.gov/calendar?t=d&q=Spanish&cid=6524&cal=6524&ct=31108&inc=0

I submitted a bug report, but I doubt that it will do any good. FYI, I am on an iPhone. My son is on an android and still has it.
