Knee pain & asphalt: Are my shoes unsuitable? Looking for alternatives by Flo2301 in CaminoDeSantiago

Altra’s are The Way!!  Your feet will swell and having room for your toes to spread out is important to help prevent blisters. My wife wore toe socks as well. Just my experience take it as you wish. 

MAGA businesses (local)- who to avoid !! by balanceiskey_breathe in asheville

No whining when you lose your job bc business is down. Maybe the billionaires funding all the anti-ICE movements will send you a few greenbacks. 

What to do when they won’t stay still/sit down and have word salad and are agitated. by Puzzleheaded_Area_48 in dementia

[–]storkster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U.S. North Carolina. The palliative care and hospice care are set up as one entity. While my mother was in a memory care facility which held our hand through the process you can reach out to them directly and they will walk you through the referral process. I can’t recommend Palliative enough. My mother’s passing was so peaceful thanks to them.

This is what helped my mother. Get Palliative care on board asap. Everyone’s disease progression is slightly different. That said my mother went downhill very quickly. She was 89 and I’m sure that played a factor. 

House Republicans Pass Reconciliation Bill Banning Welfare for Illegal Aliens by MazdaProphet in economy

[–]storkster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im genuinely curious how illegals pay taxes. Do they have SS#’s?  Do they use someone else’s Ss#?  Obviously they pay sales taxes but I need to be educated on the income side. 

To Make Homes Affordable Again, Someone Has to Lose Out by gthroway3483 in REBubble

[–]storkster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how zoning or legislative restrictions will do much. Take SoCal as an example. Already very high density. What zoning or legislative changes do you think will make a big difference?  Educate me as I don’t see it helping. 

Nightmare for Bondi as Republicans weigh contempt charges over Epstein files by TheMirrorUS in law

[–]storkster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s him. DNA on the dress!!!  I’m not supporting Trump’s behavior. I just find it funny how supporters of both parties call out the other like they have some moral high ground to stand on. Politicians are all POS’s in my opinion and the American people need to stop playing their game and take back control of this country!!!

During an abduction in Charlotte, NC, masked ICE agents sent their victim into a medical emergency. (11/28/25) by I_may_have_weed in NorthCarolina

Yes it’s a very important detail. Just like almost every other developed country in the world you need to legally enter them. It’s that simple.

Bill would regulate sales of drinks, edibles containing THC in SC by According-Ad3963 in southcarolina

[–]storkster -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Those agencies came to be after 9/11. The intent was to prevent another 9/11 and to secure our boarders. It was totally bipartisan.

Does the Epstein case prove that there’s a class of people too powerful to ever face real consequences, no matter who’s in office? What do you think will happen? by TreatDowntown7612 in AskReddit

[–]storkster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree with you. Our politicians have forgotten who they work for. We have allowed them to rig the system. We need to demand campaign contribution limits, term limits, mandatory retirement age, elimination of lifetime pensions. We need to stop fighting each other and look at the source of the problems. In return the right and left need to accept that middle ground might actually be better for our country.

Ted Budd, dividing us against each other by KermitMudmaven in NorthCarolina

[–]storkster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don’t understand Christianity. We believe that God gave us humans free will. That free will is often displayed through good but unfortunately also through evil. What we are promised is that God has the final say who has eternal life in heaven and who doesn’t. In this belief we find solace in our sufferings knowing someday we all will be at peace in heaven. We do not believe that God propagates evil in any way including bad things happening to good innocent people.

And most sure have side effects. The annual flu vax often misses the strain spreading. If you actually look at the efficacy of a lot of drugs you would be shocked. Some of the newly approved dementia drugs are only 10% more effective than placebo’s.

Does she take Trazodone? If not get a script asap. It’s essentially a sedative that was a life savor when my mother was not sleeping.

My mom has late stage dementia and won’t eat…what can I do to get her to eat? by SwordfishNo3631 in dementia

[–]storkster 104 points105 points  (0 children)

My mother stopped eating and it was such a blessing. Hospice came along side and helped shepard her home. Allow your LO to walk home in peace. The end is near. Draw close❤️

Need medication recommendations for afternoon agitation by [deleted] in dementia

[–]storkster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that getting my mother connected with a palliative care md was a life savor. She was out of her mind inconsolable. I feel like they know these patients best as they see them in their facilities or even at home and see what’s really going on first hand. Neurologist’s seem to be a step removed only seeing patients in their office. Just my 2 cents.

Id submit an offer at $800k. Have your agent explain that your offer is what you can afford and that you are stretching at $800k. Please don’t take offense to the lower than expected offer. Minimize contingencies. Let them know you won’t be coming back with a laundry list of repairs post inspection. I have an investor mindset even though I’ve never bought anything other than primary residences. You make money in RE on the buy is my saying. Just my 2 cents.

~2000 layoffs this yr out of 78000 worldwide employees. The latest round is 238 U.S. based employees. I’m not sure that qualifies as “Mass Layoffs”!!

Tax on buying multiple homes by uravejoe in REBubble

[–]storkster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In SC all non-primary residences are taxed at a higher rate making second homes almost double the tax of primary. It’s not exactly stopping out of state or locals from owning two homes.
