can you ask more regularly to make it more part of his routine to help? Might be more work short term but helpful longer term?

will be in a permanent state of heightened anxiety until we ever get approved for Medicaid and get waivers for home health services.
ironically, not because things keep happening, but because things have been quiet lately and there've been a few fall "close calls".
mom told me she's depressed. didn't have the heart to tell her that I am too, as she'd feel responsible (but of course that's ridiculous). both of us keep trying to take care of the other's emotional wellbeing.

After 2 months of no incidents, he fell. Mom didn't let me know she was back with him from daycare so I wasn't outside to help. Going to ER
It's been only a year of this and I have little left. The psychological impact of this has me just ready to abandon any optimism I had left. Zero end in sight.

Just wanted to share this story, and it kinda fits here since Mom is 72, though she's totally independent and requires nothin' from nobody.
So the other day I'm on the phone with her and she says "By the way, tomorrow is [AUNT]'s birthday" and we continue with our conversation.
Here's the thing: [AUNT] is a TWIN.
Mom is ICE COLD when she wants to be.

Your mother's twin or another sibling?
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 21 July 2021 01:44 (two years ago) link
Another sibling. Mom was the second born, the twins came after her, then two more sisters she's also not talking to.

I liked it better as Mom being passive-aggressive about her own birthday.

Sitting here watching Gunsmoke w/ my aged p’s because their helper had heart palpitations/panic attack (because of Henri?) and left to go to her doctor in the city and the rest of my generation just was exposed to COVID.

Just think; it could be the Waltons.

I think they show The Waltons on this channel too! Thought I saw a profile of Grandpa Walton on the website. Yes, never really watched whist growing up but Gunsmoke is in fact pretty good.

oh man the waltons was on in the clinic when i got my second vaxx and it was brutal. i'd never seen it before!
― mookieproof, Sunday, 22 August 2021 01:29 (two years ago) link
That would actually make me feel special. I would take the responsibility seriously.
Btw what with the pandemic and everything it feels like every NYC restaurant is an old NYC restaurant now. The system crashed in March 2020 and we’re trying to reset it still.
― Josefa, Sunday, 22 August 2021 01:30 (two years ago) link
It was Gunsmoke reruns and The Waltons all over our TV in the late 70s.

There's an early-ish color Gunsmoke where the Doc has to quarantine a sick rich dude & his entourage on a train and anyone living the past two years knows how that turns out.

― Hitsville Ukase (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 22 August 2021 12:53 (two years ago) link
Festus won't wear a face mask.
But seriously, the rich guy doesn't want to quarantine and tries to bargain his way out because he's got business in another town that just has to be settled, but soon he's too sick to do anything. One of his bodyguards tries to escape but gets killed by some townies who-lacking Doc's compassion-don't want no sick people in Dodge. They form a rebellion, knock out Marshall Dillion, and set the train on fire, getting a number of themselves killed in the process. Doc, the rich guy, and his pregnant trophy wife manage to escape.
The ep is called "Death Train" and it's from season 13 in '67.

lessons i learned rewatching little house- paw is legit terrible farmer - mary is a pain in the fucking ass- that song mr edwards sings all the time is super annoying - there is waaaay more jesus in that show than i remembered from watching as a kidi still kinda like the show though, all that being said. i love the opening credits where baby carrie trips & falls down the hill
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 22 August 2021 18:51 (two years ago) link
There is waaaay more Jesus in the show than in the books.
In college, one of the girls in my first year studies group (Melora, later the star of the film LAMBADA) had been one of the random school kids in Little House with lines here and there, and one week her friend Matt came to visit and sat in our seminar. Several other students made the faux pas of calling him ‘Albert’. Melora just looked like she wanted to kill them.
