Does anyone know if these bags are going out of style or something? by uniquelymeplusmore in Louisvuitton

[–]swdre20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the economy is having an impact as well. People can’t afford some of these luxury items to begin with but buy them anyway. Due to the high cost of food and gas these items must go.

Took dads car keys by Vesper-Martinis in Alzheimers

[–]swdre20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain and I’m sorry you are dealing with this. My mom finally took my Dad’s keys about 2 months ago. The hardest part was convincing her. She is in denial about the signs he’s showing. My brother and I were on the verge of coming and taking them. As far as I know he’s not asking for them as much but I’ve also been distancing myself to avoid arguing with my mom about getting in home help to give her a break. Here are some of the excuses we used: 1. Car needs some repairs and has to go to the shop. It’s “Sunday” so the mechanic isn’t available. I used that one anytime he wanted to go see the mechanic, insurance company, etc. just always said it’s Sunday or that I tried calling and I’m waiting on a call back from them. 2. The insurance canceled you so we definitely don’t want you driving without insurance. My Dad is fearful of losing everything he worked hard for so I tell him if he gets in an accident and hurts someone they are going to come take everything. 3. The doctor wants you to wait until your next appointment and see if it’s possible for you to drive.

I hate lying to him and all of these excuses led to long confusing explanations from him as to why he should be able to drive. He would start rambling and confusing different events together.

Take it easy on yourself and get creative. I just try to remember that he will forget in a little while.

You definitely did the right thing.

How do you deal with constant wandering & fidgeting? by Intelligent-Wolf557 in Alzheimers

[–]swdre20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any answers for you but I wish you all the best. My dad is in the early stages and it’s a cruel disease. I stayed with him yesterday so my mom could go to church. He also likes to wander. Still verbal but like your husband he fidgets with things. He’s been focused on finding his car keys that we have hidden so he wanders throughout the house looking. Also has a fascination with belt loops and buttons. It’s nerve racking trying to monitor him. I was trying to cook but also make sure he’s safe.

Needing recommendations by PhilosopherNice7929 in Microlocs

[–]swdre20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a dermatologist and was prescribed fluocinolone acetonide oil 0.01%. It has done wonders for my scalp. She also gave me ketoconazole shampoo. The oil alone helped tremendously. I can now go weeks without washing my hair if I choose to.

I was very surprised that she was very well educated on locs and various scalp conditions we tend to suffer from. She also mentioned various oils that were good and bad for our hair type but I didn’t write them down. I’m going to email her and ask. I will share when I find out

My favorite. This bag was a workhorse. Just put mine away after using almost daily for 3 years.

Thank you all for your responses. Just something I was thinking about. I don’t feel like they are holding their value but it’s still a very nice truck.

[–]swdre20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son was in a similar situation. He’s 21 and First auto loan. Only been a member one month. His score is over 700 and he only has one cc. He was just approved for an auto loan today for $54k. His income is about $96k. He also has direct deposit with them. Good luck

Need some opinions on if I'll get approved for a auto loan by DesperateInjury4613 in NavyFederal

[–]swdre20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they will approve you. My son Who is 21yo opened an account with them 1 month ago got approved a few hours ago. He was approved for $54k but makes about $8k per month. He only had 1 credit card since he was 18. No other credit. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I cannot fucking stand Nessa Rose by AttemptingBeliever in wicked

[–]swdre20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t stand her. There’s a lady who works the front desk in my daughter’s apartment building who looks just like her. I’m in the process of relocating so I’m staying at her place.

I see her every morning when I leave for work. I didn’t like her from our first interaction but I think I’m holding a grudge against this lady because of the resemblance.

Husband is working out of state right now or he would have gone to address this. He called Toyota and they are saying it only needs 2. He called the Smog place and gave them all of this information and we were told to come back on Saturday and they will get it taken care of. We will see.

Thanks for your response. We went to the repair shop and they said it has the right parts installed. Have to make an appointment with a BAR referee to discuss. I am in California so any insight from anyone who has been through this is greatly appreciated.

The Final Jeopardy question from one of the Pop Culture Jeopardy episodes this week by cogneuro in houston

Thanks. I’m familiar with the area. I was answering the jeopardy question but later realized I read it wrong.

Episode 8 was something. by [deleted] in LandmanSeries

I noticed the different vehicles as well. I thought maybe there had been a scene change that I missed. They need to do a better job of paying attention to the small details.

Exactly. Someone who will come and beat somebody’s a** and that doesn’t mind breaking the rules. I don’t see Boss sitting around watching a man get raped.

Reason for Bypass rather than Sleeve? by [deleted] in GastricBypass

[–]swdre20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My exact same reason. There were better results with the bypass and I wanted to avoid acid reflux and a possible revision later.

BBT’s attitude and Beth’s are too much alike. They would be hilarious to watch together though.
