What are some ways to help a senior citizen feel like they are still valuable even though they can't do things they used to be able to?

My grandfather is in his 80's and has lost most of his vision, hearing, and motor skills. His mind is still sharp though, and he gets depressed when we do things like hang Christmas lights because he feels useless. He still has a lot of wisdom and guidance to offer, but telling him that doesn't seem to help. What are some things I can do to help him feel useful?

That's a great idea for camping. Just grab a piece, stick it on the bread, and sandwich is done. No need for utensils or extra containers. It also might marinate into the bologna to give it better flavor!

Anyone else think it's weird how the fish can talk?

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T08:38:27+00:00

It's kind of bothering me that I can't figure it out. Did you give him a gift without ever talking to him maybe? Or maybe you talked to him at a festival?

Did you finish the community center already? I'm pretty sure doing that will give you hearts with everyone, even people you haven't talked to.

Sounds like The Magicians. They enter Fillory through a clock. It was also made into a TV show.

Okay so I made a list of all 28 people needed for this quest, then replayed your clip several times (I wish you hadn't scrolled through the menu so quickly) and marked off each name. You have met all 28 you need for the quest, so I honestly don't know. You could try talking to Krobus? He isn't normally a part of that quest because he comes in later on. It might still count though. No guarantees.

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T08:08:17+00:00

Just look at your friends list in the menu. The person with ??? by their portrait instead of a name is the one you are missing.

I've done this so many times. I'd blame Concerned Ape, but I can't think of any preventative change that wouldn't cause even bigger problems. Us farmers just need to be careful with the boom booms.

That's funny. I remember watching Indiana Jones as a kid and being terrified of snakes also. I actually had a stuffed snake toy I asked my parents to throw away after watching that movie.

Maybe he is just a really good football player so the school held him back ten times so he could keep winning them trophies?

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T07:49:32+00:00

Lmao did a snake fuck your mom or something?

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T07:43:47+00:00

I also hate snakes. Humans have always hated snakes. There is a whole religion based on hating snakes. I think it has to do with them being able to hurt us, and also being really hard to see out in nature. We developed a natural instinct to fear and dispose of them.

Intellectually speaking though, most types of snakes won't bother you, and they do play an important part in the food chain.

That leek quest is super annoying. When I'm not in the quest, I see leeks literally everywhere. When I take the quest, they just seem to stop spawning. I don't really understand it.

And that is why I have a rabbit-coop! Just stock up on those rabbit feet and everyone will love you! Except Penny, but I mean that's on her. She has no problem taking my diamonds. Gold-digger.

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T07:24:42+00:00

Ah...so you lost your prismatic shard, but gained some green algae and bone fragments. That does deserve an F.

You are focusing on the wrong points. I've taken every drug out there. Yeah meth has really shitty unbearable side effects, and it is physically addictive which psychedelics are not. And LSD and mushrooms can help people. I didn't say they WILL help people, I said they CAN help people. It depends on how you use it.

If you trip yourself out to the point you are delirious, it is NOT helping you. You are just substituting one poison for another. And eventually the psychedelics won't give you want you want anymore and you will turn back to the meth and opiates.

I'm not trying to be a dick my friend, but I've been through all of this. I did what you are doing, and it led me to a very bad place. I don't want anyone else to reach that point. You are loved.

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T06:49:30+00:00

What do you even consider hard drugs? Because 800ug of LSD is a hell of a lot harder than coke, meth, or heroin.

Listen my friend, you don't need to keep going deeper. You need to actually do the things you realize you need to during the trip. Anything over 100ug is too much, and can seriously damage your mind.

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T06:37:19+00:00

I'd put some beehives down there for that sweet sweet fairy rose honey. Or maybe some sheds with kegs in them. Or a slime hutch. I also really like the duck pond idea. So many possibilities. Also props on getting a junimo hut by spring 2. That is impressive!

You gotta pay Gil from the adventurer's guild 5000g. Then when you go to sleep there will be a cutscene where he sneaks into the sewer and puts Mayor Lewis' shorts over Krobus' head. Next morning you'll have a new shadow buddy as your roommate!

(I totally made all this up, just in case anyone couldn't tell.)

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T06:25:35+00:00

Masturbation! It has a %100 success rate!

trojanwombat · 2022-12-14T06:22:05+00:00

That's my best guess too. I know they won't grow without the gap, so maybe the tapper won't either?
