This is why I eat out. All my dishes are dirty...4 plates don't go far
It really is a problem.1 -
How early is too early to text someone in another time zone?3

So you have a bachelor's degree? I'm impressed! But...you can't buy compassion and love with that degree. You keep being smart, I'll keep being me. 😎

I feel that. Not everything needs to be a stepping stone.1 -

It's so much more than that, S. Raising my kids by myself was more important than spending hours away from them.
Besides, when they're in therapy they won't be blaming their short comings or anxiety issues on the baby sitter. It's all on me...and I own that 😂
😂 I’m hoping I can get mine to blame their grandmother same as me4 -

For the love of the angels, never before 7 am their local time.
But if they are like me and turn notis off, it doesn't matter anyway...if the concern is waking them up 🤷🏿♀️2 -

So he fell and figures he was there about 3 hours ( can't confirm) but Im sure it felt like a long time.
Banged up knee, hip and skin off his side.
These falls are becoming a real worry, I know I can't bubble wrap him but I'm worried its only a matter of time before he breaks a bone..
Thats what's on my mind.. 😔
I feel this so hard. My dad recently fell in the bathroom, smashed his face on the floor and bled for about 45 minutes before he could get up. My mom is deaf, so she couldn't hear him calling for help, so he just lay there.
It's so scary knowing they are so helpless now, and also so hard to see our once strong parents failing.
Sending you big hugs and hopes that your dad is ok.
Yikes, does he have a life alert type button? Course needing one and actually using it are 2 different things. But really, it sounds like a very good idea for him.
Wanting to stay home and continue to live independently is hard for everyone but it's where most people are happiest. But there are so many resources 'out there' to tap into that can make it happen. I hope he is or starts using them.
It's very scary for all, and heartbreaking. {{HUGS}} to you Kickass
I need to find something like that. I want something for the bathroom in particular because he's fallen twice in there. Once I had to drive over to help pick him up off the floor.
He's so proud that he won't likely wear something, so I was hoping to put a comm device that could at least alert me. (I live 5min away).
He's ok now, but it has been happening more frequently. 😔
Hugs to all who struggle with this. ❤️1 -

The aging parents and family members convo really hit home this morning. My heart goes out to you all @slimgirljo15 @Elcee2020 @honeybee__12 @KickassAmazon76 @777Gemma888 @ReenieHJ @IslandGal3 and anyone else dealing with this.
My current strategy - assuming my parents and grandparents will live forever - isn't sustainable so hearing your realities, while sobering, is ironically helpful.
Still...not easy for any of you 🤗7 -

I’m really, really, really far from being in the 1%
I have a modest retirement account
I’m not a trader or hedge fund manager
I’m a teacher who barely ekes out a living
And yet, I’ve lost $8,000+ from my IRA in the last week.
Enough already. Somebody figure this out.3 -

First off, thank you for being a teacher especially now. Y'all don't get paid enough and the whole "summers off" thing isn't enough either.
I didn't look at investments for most of 2020. If you're comfortable with your risk profile, just brace and hold as fluctuations happen 🤷🏿♀️
If your risk tolerance has changed (due to current and/or future impacts that you KNOW FOR CERTAIN will impact you like health status, for example) then talk to your advisor or update your self-directed account(s) for better investment matches for your situation.3 -
Parents gave me a Fitbit Versa 3 smartwatch they got for free from insurance. Not sure if I want to keep it or sell it, though it looks like I can try it out and switch to a different user later. Right now I'm feeling frustrated looking at all the stuff I need to remove: voice assistant, social media, Pandora/Spotify/etc. apps, Bluetooth, ability to take phone calls, workout videos, Coach and any other motivational apps, and some stupid reminder to take 250 steps a day. Sigh...I hate technology sometimes.0
