Not vulgar at all. I would rather give cash that will always be used for what they want, rather than a thoughtful gift that will sit in a corner or get buried under other stuff. Much less stress.
When I remodeled 25 years ago, I made sure I put in plenty of receptacles. Now there is power strips in almost every room. It's a good thing that I wired the kitchen with 3 circuits. She's running out of counter space with all the cooking gadgets they came out with.
No smart phone, just a flip phone for when I leave the house. I'm lucky that I even know how to answer it. If people want to talk to me they have to call me because I don't text.
Still have a land line.
My dad would aspirate drinking coffee. He also needed to take his medication with a thicker liquid or pudding.
Even I find it easier to take my vitamins with a protein drink.
The last I saw, last night, on Ryan Hall's you tube channel was over 90 warnings and 29 confirmed on the ground. 1 in Iowa, he had never seen rotation that big before. 2 tornadoes had multiple vortexes.
Today might be a repeat. Let's hope not.
