    I can't find my glasses so I guess this is just who I am now

    When in this situation I often think of how screwed I would have been in hunter/gathering times. Then I wonder how humans have outsmarted natural selection (in this context) cause anecdotally it seems most people wear glasses...and shouldn’t have natural selection breed those with bad eyes out (can’t run from a cougar if you can’t see it! You’re dead!) ? But here I am with my poor eyesight surviving and thriving.

    Thanks for entering my brain briefly. Hope you find your glasses.

    That's because people who wear glasses are 🔥😍... 😏

    My dad.

    Had to admit him to the hospital again post-op. Post-release transition plan is to be a skilled nursing facility.

    He doesn't know yet and it will be a struggle for him to accept with his dementia.

    One of the hardest things to do knowing the transition will end up likely in permanent residency for his own good.

    Hate the thought of him ever feeling alone and the restrictions these facilities are putting on visitation is only going to make that worse.

    So sorry C.
    We went through it with my dad.
    There is nothing that makes it easier, I’m sorry. :(

    I'm on a 14 day streak, says this app, but I haven't lost any weight. I never really eat as much as I'm supposed to, either. I think menopause did me in.

    Someone just deleted me on Facebook. She posted a picture of her and her boyfriend with a Snapchat filter and I thought it was a joke so I laughed and said her boyfriend made a pretty girl 😒 Why do I always have to make things awkward 🤦‍♀️

    If that’s all it took,
    I think you're better off. 😊

    The fact that folks (read: strangers) still don’t send a message with their FR reinforces my lack of faith in mankind

    i heard fr dont put thru messages any more like all are blank even if u type in “♥️♥️😍😍 🍆 🍑 💦😏” they dont see nothing

    Well this explains why some people have been accepting my friend requests.

    I sent you a cutsey one!
    ...apparently, maybe lost in mfp purgatory?...heard they aren't coming through lately...meant to send you a message to make me less creepy?!

    ...but you know, the effort and stuff!

    Anyhow - on another note - anyone who gets an accept these days should be flattered!
    ...or worried they are not special at all?!

    My thoughts go out to you and your family. Something like that is never easy. Also, it's so hard to watch someone go from being a strong healthy parent to being child-like. So much grieving is done along the way, at every stage of loss. :(

    So sorry Chris. I lost my Grandad to dementia last year and it was so hard seeing him go from a lively independent man to someone who didn't recognise his own family.

    Your dad is so lucky to have you and your family there to support him. Keeping you all in my thoughts.

    This is such a painful thought. Dementia is uniquely cruel for the affected one and family alike. I am so sorry.

    Not to make light of these situations...but i have to laugh when my grandmother keeps telling me how much she loves my ex, and when will he come visit, sometimes she honestly forgets (alzheimers) ...sometimes she just wants to remind me she thinks I made a mistake 😬

    And collecting $5 baby dolls is her new hobby lol.

    My grandma had Alzheimer’s too and she was honestly adorable. She made my dad a bit uncomfy though because she flirted with him relentlessly. She thought he was my Grandpa. My poor dad, he was so sweet about it but it was heartbreaking too.
