Thus why I made a Beehaw account I suppose. Interaction helps. But it’s spooky though! What if I say the wrong thing! Luckily bookmarking or open tabs is less of an issue nowadays personally.

Oh! Good suggestion. I look way too much up.

Low rise work pants are the worst

Oh no that’s insightful! We have lots of access to information but really not a lot we can do about it. What do I do with this newfound realization? 😅

There’s a nursing podcast/comedy I Beg Your Pardon where this is mentioned in a few ways. Easier said than done, but prioritizing your own well-being/health as much as possible. Awareness of the issue is the first step in change for the better!!

Haha sure, with some help it could work

(Young) people often idealize the idea of going off grid or starting an organic farm or starting a commune to get out of corporate, but how connected is their fantasy to reality if their biggest hunt and harvest is a supermarket delivery app? That being said, knowing basic skills that may fall into the tradwife range (cooking, cleaning, sewing etc) can give you that ounce of freedom from super systemic dependence to build a realistic life venturing outside the confines of cyclical capitalism.

1. I’d want a list of all the medicine he is taking to see if drug interactions are causing him to feel dizzy or have balance issues for example. 2. If money were no object I’d assemble an in-home care team. 3. Each care facility is different and doing research into their own staffing minimums would be a great start. Many often cater to the adult children’s idea of a good place to live, not what the older adult has in mind (ie: sustained independence and person-centered care). 4. Regardless it’s difficult and caregiver burnout is a real thing. Take care of yourself.

I go with more hardy food options (ie: potatoes, onions, carrots) that don’t need refrigeration. Fresh herbs can be dried for long lasting tea or spice ingredients. Also just for the ease of cooking basic dishes that can be made into a variety of things (boiled chicken, mashed potatoes, baked beans) are helpful to have and use as well.

Check out passive vs active suicidal ideation. The frequency of jokes sounds alarming, although I’m not sure if the intent is there.

The only thing I’m looking forward to is the possibility of OLED in a MacBook next year.

Thank you!!!

I’ve been reading posts/lurking for a few years and I finally decided to apply for my own login to be able to comment!! So I’m excited to bee here. Week wise, everything is getting better since Monday was not the best. I hope y’all are doing better now that it’s hump day!
