Well this development is the worst one yet. I know you will bounce back but it is exhausting
DS aged 25 finally got his drivers license a few months ago. He didnāt and still doesnāt really need one because he has been living in major cities with great public transit. Heās been living with me since December due to covid and I added him on my car insurance, holding my breath to see what would happen to my rate. My insurance bill actually went down! Woohoo!

Within the past seven days, THREE acquaintances have told bold-faced lies, one of them about me and quite serious. What the heck is going on?

Hey, we all have our own opinions. But if you have been spouting about how itās not a big deal, you need to get to the back of the line.

This is awful. My 50 year old friend in NY was feeling very sick last week so her H took her to the hospital. She does NOT have Covid. She was recently diagnosed with MS. Due to the hospitalās Covid safety protocols, he had to drop her off and hasnāt been allowed in to see her. She hasnāt been able to talk to him because sheās so heavily sedated. The first day there the Dr let H know that she has sepsis and that her kidneys and liver are failing. So obviously sheās in tough shape and her H is worried about her. For the next 2 days the doctor wouldnāt return his calls, and the only information he was able to get about his wife was from the duty nurse who was only able to tell him that she was resting and receiving palliative care. Yesterday her H was told (Iām not sure by whom) that his wife was transferred to the ICU and is on a ventilator. They still wonāt let him come in. I donāt know who Iām feeling worse for, my friend who is struggling for her life, or her husband who is desperate to see his wife and hold her hand.

Iāve seen so many deaths recently of famous older people. You canāt help and wonder if itās Covid or the horrible isolation theyāve had to endure. Stupid pandemic

My siblings and I are so different and have different ideas of how best to handle our elderly mother, but weāre still making it work and for that I am grateful.

With all that has happened in the last year, it is incredibly satisfying to know that my DS16 is gainfully employed and has just completed his first non-dependent tax return. May all recent grads soon be able to do the same!

Scale says that I weigh 260.
I should weigh about 228.
Time to get a new scale.

When the wind blows and the electricity is shut off, with the wildfires advancing on my house, how am I supposed to evacuate in my electric car. And why make the electric companies, monopolies, the only source of our power needs?

Your inability to see how anyone or any family could possibly have a different experience than you and yours is stunning to me. And when folks point out that there are different ideas or approaches to life, you continue to pound ināquestioning their input. My gosh, every once in a while respond with āThatās interesting. I hadnāt thought of it from that perspective.ā You might be surprised what you learn.

I am so sorry she died. You shouldered the responsibility of caring for her through dementia when through her own choices, she was destitute. It was especially kind because she was a difficult, difficult sister even when her mind was intact and she criticized you throughout your lives.
But mom, you are loved. Please do not do this. Flying, burying, hotel, driving eating is so radically unwise right now. You have been so respectful of our choices and yet I cannot understand yours. Please donāt die burying your sister. Donāt make your funeral the one on zoom.

Eeeeeew. I just realized the guy in the store was hitting on me. I mean, he was around my age, but still ā¦ dude, I would think by the time you hit your sixties, you might realize that women donāt really welcome comments like that.

Is it too much to ask that the pharmacy get the refill prescription at least somewhat correct?

Parents please chill! Your students are in COLLEGE. Spring break is not purely a break. It is time to work extra hours, make the to do list shorter, work ahead, engage in some self-care, nap a bit, get some exercise, etc. These are young adults learning about life and all the things that need to be juggled, not children in need of recess.
