Yes this. We had my husband's grandmother in such a place. They are not scams. They have different functions. In this facility, there are apartments. They can have cars. Many people start there. They have a small kitchen. There is not any health care provided. That isn't the purpose. Now they might have a home health nurse that comes or something, but that isn't through the facility. Then they have inside rooms. You can sign up for ones that have healthcare and those that do not. And you sign up for the level of care you need. Then you have the memory care wing that is completely locked down. They have 24 hour monitoring. We knew quite clearly the level of care. I was up there all the time. It was as advertised. The nursing home down the street, however, was abysmal. She had to go there a few times after surgery for short period of times and I couldn't wait to get her back to the other place.

Nothing. Yep two of my counselors told me I was in crappy situations and was coping well with them. Basically, it is as good as it gets. I'm sorry. Wish it were different. Counseling is pretty useless in my opinion.

She is right. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GNPRC8EUQ8BUADGK#:~:text=It's not possible to start,Student can't be shared.

Don't know about a student account, but my husband and I do it with his prime account. I get his prime benefits, but he cannot see what I order, or even watch on prime video. Well, I mean he could if he logged into my account, but he would have to be deliberately working. Maybe look and see if she can link accounts somehow.

My iphone randomly Facetimed someone yesterday. I was reading emails. I have no clue. This is a friend I never call, much less Facetime. So strange.

I am so, so sorry.

You do not have to validate. Just don’t attack please. My heart is racing. If it wasn’t raining I would go for a run. I have to get out of here

In your opinion, not mine. I can see a lot of sides. I see how fallen I am. You cannot tell me who to sympathize with as I will not tell you that you cannot hate her. I get both sides. And please don’t yell at me. Time to take a break for me. I am not wrong. My feelings are my feelings and I am allowed to have them.

You are absolutely correct. Yep. I just wanted to give a perspective from her point of view as everyone seems to be jumping on her as evil. I do feel for his victims. I believe he is guilty.

My parents screamed at each other and screamed at me. My way or the highway was their thinking. They could not look at how the other one thought. So when I start to get upset, I always look at things from the other person's point of view. It is often as valid as my own. My husband and I do not fight.

Yes, but it can be confusing. The man you know would NEVER be the person that would do this. Your brain just cannot comprehend it. Every single interaction you have ever had does not show it.

Yes, I have personal experience with a person in authority who was incredibly wonderful to me. He seemed like the nicest man. Then all this stuff came out that I was like... "This cannot be the same person." So yeah, I get her. I've been there.

Thank you @Arcadia Yes, the way those boards are set up just don't work. I told my husband I am so glad we do not own any condos.

It seems like there is going to need to be a change in the way things are done in condos. I read a story this morning that a lot of the board resigned because they couldn't get the residents to agree to pay to fix everything. It was going to be so expensive. I doubt the residents could have afforded the major repair. If the boards cannot fix things until they have agreement from the residents, it feels like that would be a major problem to getting things done.

Wow! Just wow!

So strange. I am praying for all of you in the PNW. So tough when it isn’t normal and the houses and businesses are not made for it.

Praying!!

???? We have had the coolest June. So far, we haven't got above lower 90's and next week it will be in the 80's. For July, that is unheard of. We are often in the 100's by this point. I am in Texas.

If you search on CNN, they have video of the collapse from a security camera. I had flashbacks to 9/11

When we went there were no tv's or internet or anything. I don't know if they have modernized it. I kinda hope not. But it is a cool place to stay.

Hi Slache, We went to the McDonald Observatory the first year we homeschooled. The boys were 2nd and 4th at the time. ( They are 24 and 26 now. Where did the time go?) We were doing astronomy for science, so I booked one of the Star Parties. It was fantastic. They had some stuff like had people stand where Mars would be, Venus, etc. to see scale. We sat outside and talked about what they saw. Then they had telescopes set up all over everywhere, some very substantial one in small buildings as well and the kids went inside and got to look through them. They had some great conversations with the people there who were knowledgeable and friendly. They were impressed with how much the kids knew. Anyway, it was a great experience.

Not near San Antonio, but I would recommend Davis State Park and the somewhat nearby McDonald Observatory.

I went to my neice's graduation a few weeks ago, and they were pretty smart. It was held in a football stadium. All of the student speeches were recorded ahead of time. You could hear them, see them well and there were no surprises. Very well done.

I am so glad we waited. We got married at 23/25. We had our kids at 29/31, 31/33, and 36/38. When we had our first kid, we were exactly like all of our peers. They all had them in their late twenties/early thirties. Then we moved to our current town when I was pregnant with the middle one and oldest was 1 1/2 years old. They do Sunday Schools by age. Everyone in our age bracket had kids ages 10-15. Almost everyone our age has grandchildren. Their children got married early as well and had kids. I am glad we waited. We have been financially comfortable because of waiting. Our kids don't even have any girlfriends/boyfriends. I have a feeling they will wait as well. I mean the oldest two are already older than 25 with no girl in sight, so who knows when/if they will have kids. That bums out my husband. He is all about family and grandchildren. Plus, his sister now has two married children and one grandchild. ( Her boys are 25 and 27...the 25yo had the baby.)I really don't care.

My daughter's university is not requiring a vax; however, they are making huge incentives to do so: No vaccine: They must submit to random Covid tests. They are not having any video if you miss class. You must quarantine off campus at your own expense, etc. You MUST wear a mask, with checks. Basically, your life will be much easier if you do get a vaccine. Everyone except a few freshman ( her being one) in her degree program were vaccinated before school let out anyway. She couldn't because she was traveling home on the day they offered the vaccine on campus. I feel like this is the right way to handle it.
