  1. My mIl did this when we went to the ER due to difficulty breathing when there was a nearby controlled burn. She told the medical staff she had no medical problems. Thankfully, someone here said to take all her meds with us, so I took them all in a bag. When I asked why she had so many prescriptions, mil downplayed each one. "Oh, that's only when I'm short of breath." or "That's just my water pill." or "That helps my heart." Even when we think we remember, sometimes we might not remember the medical condition, but only the effect/reason to take the medicine. I can't imagine how much more difficult it would be in an actual emergency in the air.
  2. I think this might depend on the state he lives in. Different states have different laws. In my state, with a $400,000 estate and a will, the estate didn't have to go through probate. @Tap, it might be worth finding an attorney who is familiar with the laws in your states and can speak to your concerns specifically.
  3. Today I learned that if you hold a $2 bill, your face will melt. It actually really frightens me how easily kids believe random stuff. I have a different 8yo student who watches TikTok and believes whatever they see. This student was very serious about this being true, even when I told them I've held a $2 bill and my face didn't melt.
  4. Our house will be in totality, but dd is getting married the prior Saturday in another state and we won't be back in time to see it. I'm kinda bummed about it because I was really excited to explain it/watch it with my class at school.
  5. I'm not the OP, but my MIL was on hospice in AL. The AL facility offered stepped up care, so as her needs increased, we used the higher levels of care. They allowed her to stay when she went on hospice. Eventually, we found a wonderful woman to stay with her overnight to help as needed. I was with her all day. We also looked into hiring a private nurse for a brief bit (in addition to the hospice nurse daily visits), but she passed before we found someone. I believe hospice also offered someone to come in to help with daily (or every other day) care.
  6. I tip my head (to the right I think.) My optometrist noticed me doing this during my appt. She said it's due to the prisms in my glasses.
  7. This is what I have too. I love it! It's perfect for just 2 of us, so now I use the oven to store the cast iron pots. I think it's a little loud, but it doesn't bother my dog at all.
  8. I have a Garmin watch that thought I was running stairs during a flight take off. I got lots of stair runs that day! 😂😂
  9. We have a smart one and love it. Ours uses WiFi, though, which isn't what op is looking for. I use different codes for specific people and once needed to unlock the door from my phone because the person came at a different time than normal. We use 6 digits for our code. I read somewhere that for our lock brand whatever digit code you set up between 4-8 is the longest code you can use. So if you set up the primary code with 4 digits, the other codes can't be longer than 4 digits without factory resetting the lock. We've found the 8 AAA batteries last just about a year.
  10. We are the first owners of our house, too. Somehow, Enid "ourlastname" began receiving mail here. We have no idea how/what/who she is.
  11. The bolded is what dd is trying to avoid. She would prefer items such as sheets for her mattress and towels. I plan to answer questions about their registry the way you suggest in the second paragraph.
  12. The bolded is what I told her. She likes to have everything done on her timeline and some things can't be until she knows where she'll be going.
  13. After talking with her last night, this is what they're thinking to do. They will have honeymoon expenses and will need a dog kennel to fly their dog to them and hard sided cases to transport their bikes. Gifts could be sent to us, but they wouldn't see or open them for 3 years if they immediately move overseas.
  14. These are what I was thinking she should do, though I like @bolt.'s idea of donating to a charity, too. Thank you for all your thoughts and ideas.
