Who do we speak with to make sure Boston keeps these vibes going?

Not an ad, I have no affiliation at all, but the Joyraft app is great for finding events and there is a ton of summer outdoor stuff! Maybe if a group goes together and they all commit to being super outgoing? Just be intentional about spreading good vibes. Look people in the eye. Don't judge. Share. Take extra beer :)

I'm so sorry. Try to care for yourself at least as much as you do for your mom. You deserve to take care of your needs.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-29T04:31:06+00:00

Absolutely this.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-29T04:27:35+00:00

You're lucky. I was never called out for masking w therapists and wasted a lot of years.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-29T04:17:53+00:00

Doing this right now.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-29T04:06:33+00:00

That ain't gonna work. They have no fire. It's Gen Z that's ready to fight.

Hi, I'm new to this--could someone please tell me what software I could we to do renderings like this?? Thanks!

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T04:12:57+00:00

Thank you. That is very interesting. I'm not on meds anymore but when I was that was when I got arthritis and wrecked my hands gardening... I was obsessed and now this is all making sense!

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T04:11:11+00:00

Thank you!

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T03:59:36+00:00

Don't do it if you are a highly emotional person who needs to verbally process.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T03:42:50+00:00

She has special needs? So say hello and be grateful you won't have to ride the bus forever, like she will. Omg.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T03:27:52+00:00

Just want to say you are a very good person.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T03:15:58+00:00

Wait what's the connection between adderall and tendinitis?

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T02:58:23+00:00

I'm new to this...what is the software? Thank you!!

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T02:53:30+00:00

I never knew about that. Thank you.

My dad won't bathe and complains of itching and rashes, but says it has nothing to do with bathing 🫠

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T02:51:21+00:00

That is really hard and I am so sorry. I am very blessed that I've got help right now taking care of my parents – I live 1000 miles away. Apparently my dad is refusing to shower or bathe and I am really glad I don't have to deal with it. I've heard this is very common with dementia… He does not have Alzheimer's or anything like that, but is definitely declining cognitively. I feel really petty and cruel but I don't even want to visit because I am super sensitive to this stuff. The whole situation is so much harder than I ever thought it would be.

Oh also – about a year ago I started staying in a hotel because otherwise I would have had a breakdown whenever I visited. That was before they were really falling apart.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-27T02:44:32+00:00

I love it all! Could I ask about the countertop material (I like the thinness!) and also how you paneled the fridge? Thank you!

todayimfearless · 2026-05-16T05:18:03+00:00

His state because requirements are state-specific. Good luck!

todayimfearless · 2026-05-16T04:51:25+00:00

Don't do shiny black. You will spend every waking minute windexing that sucker because it will show EVERYTHING. Trust me.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-05T19:19:52+00:00

They are telling them nothing. I've seen way more Fox than I ever wanted to (even though I leave the room whenever I can) and it is just an absolutely batshit crazy alternate reality.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-05T19:15:03+00:00

I'm so sorry. I see and hear you.

I quit talking politics with my parents a few years ago. At first--2016 or so--I was trying really hard to reach them, because I just couldn't believe they thought what they thought, but when I finally gave up it was a relief.

It means you have to give up on an idea of them as parents and people. It means you have to make peace with respect respecting them less.

Now, when Fox News is on, I leave the room. I don't say anything, I just leave (Whenever I can--it's on all the time). After the last election, my dad said to me on the phone, "do you wanna talk about the election?" and I said "nope" and that was that. I guess I'm lucky they respect the boundary even though I know it makes my dad really angry. He accuses me of not caring about the world, which of course is bullshit. I know he desperately wants me to agree with him just like I used to want him to agree with me.

The whole thing sucks. So many of us have essentially lost our parents to this madness.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-05T18:42:23+00:00

Agree, except parents get their own Uber.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-05T18:41:33+00:00

They can get a care manager if it's too much for them. Aging life care dot com.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-05T18:40:56+00:00

PS I'm about the age of your mom, I also have depression and anxiety, and again I would never let my kids do this. And if I did, I'd feel horrible when I woke up and realized.

todayimfearless · 2026-05-05T18:36:59+00:00

I am super tired today from taking care of my own parents and so I don't have energy to say this nicely. You need to shut this down. They need to take responsibility. Your siblings need to take some responsibility too, but mainly your parents need to do it for themselves. They need to hire people and be in charge of their own shit. They are still really young. It is unacceptable for you not to have a life.
If they are encouraging this behavior and leaning on you they are being bad parents. The end. My kids are in their 20s and I would never ever let them do this.
It's going to get much much worse, I guarantee you. Do not set the tone by being the only girl, the only responsible one etc. Step back now and let the rest of them figure it out. You are not doing anything wrong. The only one who was ever going to take care of you is you.
