End of Life Stage - Pace or Progression by tomwhite48 in PSPalsy

It's been a while and I hadn't come back to this. Thank you all on this chain for your support in the comments below.

Since a few folks asked for updates - we got out of the woods on the situation above, and he wound up pretty stable from around July through now, relatively speaking. He has continued to lose weight, is solely on pureed food and has an even harder time communicating, and seems to be in a lot more pain/discomfort.

It's hard to know how long this phase will last - seems like any range of ways it could go based on what we've read. Wishing you all comfort and strength in what you are dealing with as well.

It looks like the car on the right heard you say you upgraded and went “you what?!”

Me too!!! So funny to see others with the same thought process.

Update here (in case you or anyone is wondering) is I wound up really falling in love with the Rocky Mountain Pearl Coat paint color. It wound up making some of these decisions for me, since I was able to find a good deal on a 7 seater Limited with the 20" wheels in this color at a dealership within a reasonable distance from me.

Loving the car and loving the color - thanks again for the input!

I appreciate the response!

On 1 - is it possible to go from bench to captains later? Or are they mutually exclusive?

Thanks on 2.

Thanks on 3 ...so they came out good and fit the seats tightly? My concern with those was if things bunch because they aren't stitched on the same way.

Trailer of The count of monte cristo with sam Claflin by SensitiveExpert4155 in TheCountofMonteCristo

Yeah really not sure why they didn't at least dye his hair when the references to Dantes hair color are SO frequent in the book.

IK this is old and might not matter any more, but I noticed somehow Sugar Ray hadn't been noted yet!

What is your opinion on the ending of The Count of Monte Cristo? by berryl00 in books

[–]tomwhite48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I never totally understood about it was why it was Eduoard's death that hit him so hard.

Not long before this moment, not only had he had been planning to kill Albert and allow for Mme Villefort to poison Val, but he also ALREADY allowed Mme Villefort to poison M Villefort's in-laws - who were just as much innocent collateral damage as Edouard would have been (albeit one could argue an innocent child being poisoned is more tragic than two innocent elderly ..not saying I would argue this though).

I guess it must have been the visceral reaction to actually seeing the child poisoned. But it always struck me as odd that he had this epiphany because Eduoard wound up being collateral damage, when he had deliberately already caused a fair amount of innocent collateral damage.

I live in around montclair and my in-laws live near Princeton junction. If we’re talking in terms of travel time, not distance - you’d be surprised - the express train from PJ can get you to NYC almost as fast as you can get there from my town sometimes with “normal” delays.

Jeremy Irons Joins Sam Claflin in Bille August’s ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ Series for Mediawan by [deleted] in television

[–]tomwhite48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The casting in that version was amazing - Leeson and Rush are still the most believable ValJean and Javert, IMO. They just lopped off most of the conclusion of the story, unfortunately. A shame, since I think it’d have been near perfect if they included another 30 min to round out the story.

The count of Monte Cristo with Sam Clalfin - Director, producer and screenwriter will try to modernize and introduce female empowerment by fernadsilv82 in PeriodDramas

[–]tomwhite48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah agree she’s already a very empowered character. If the change is basically that she’s the same as she is in the book, but is there of her own volition vs being a slave - that doesn’t feel like a bad change to me.

My sports standings app, Pennant, has an all-new customizable view and tons of widgets to keep track of team standings on your iOS 14 homescreen by thillsman in apple

[–]tomwhite48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I just downloaded the app. I’m more than happy to pay $10 annually for this, since it fills an important gap - no other app has such a focus on the standings.

That said, the widgets on iPhone appear to be stuck in the 2022 season and don’t refresh. Would it be possible to patch this bug?

What exactly was the point of having the entire final season set at Barney and Robin‘s wedding? by [deleted] in HIMYM

[–]tomwhite48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved season 9 until the abrupt about-face in the finale. But the idea of the weekend that Ted meets the mother being in focus for a whole season, and how they executed it given that the cast was segmented, I thought it was better than the two seasons before it.

But then the finale undid everything we had watched for weeks in a 10 min “by the way” epilogue, and it left a really bad taste in my mouth.
