    Looks like my step-daughter’s cancer is back.

    Sheri has been having pain in her hip and leg for a couple weeks which has slowly been worsening. Her Mom drove her to the ER last night because the pain got really bad, and she also spiked a fever. The news is not good. Scans revealed what look like cancer lesions through her upper femur and...

    I’m sad about my client.

    @Knight I gave you the wrong idea I think. She had extensive testing to get to the diagnosis. Scans as well as cognitive testing. She has atrial fibrillation so she’s under routine care for that as well.

    I’m sad about my client.

    One of my clients, who’s also become a dear friend, we’ve been together 30+ years, was diagnosed with dementia. I’ve known something was wrong for some time, and ultimately spoke with her husband and daughter because I was getting concerned. We all compared notes, and she was finally taken to...

    Surely no one likes capers.

    I use them when I make chicken piccata, and also sprinkle them lightly on lox and bagels which I’ll occasionally make as a special breakfast treat.

    How would you reply? read below.

    I have long since stopped caring what others think of me, and have enough self esteem to know my own worth. If someone just bluntly said they didn’t like me, my response would be something like “oh, well ok, your loss.”

    What does emotional cheating mean to you.

    Emotional cheating/infidelity implies that trust has been broken. Sexual infidelity is more clearly defined because it’s a physical thing and the violated trust is more obvious, while emotional infidelity is more subjective, more open to interpretation. Forming a deep and meaningful emotional...

    I’ve been using Mac products for 30 + years now, both desktop and laptop. I don’t run anti-virus software and I’ve never once had a virus.

    BBC apologizes after slurs shouted by awards attendee with Tourette Syndrome

    My understanding is different. It’s completely involuntary and only after it happens do they know what they’re said. In other words, they don’t think of that offensive word or sentence before it bursts out, it just happens. So there’s no “bursting to pop out” phenomena, so there’s no way to...

    BBC apologizes after slurs shouted by awards attendee with Tourette Syndrome

    Here’s a link to an article quoting Mr. Davidson as he extends his apologies. “The Tourette Syndrome activist said that he is "deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intentional or to carry any meaning.” Davidson apology

    BBC apologizes after slurs shouted by awards attendee with Tourette Syndrome

    Research Tourette's Syndrome before you rush to judgment. The ticks and outbursts are entirely involuntary, completely out of the afflicted person’s control. Drugs don’t control it, it has nothing to do with willpower or self discipline or anything else. It’s a wretched condition, extremely...

    Good Deeds: There are still good people in this crazy world.

    We moved into this house September of 2024, and ron fell out of the attic and broke his heel bone a month later. He was unable to walk for about 4 months. Both our across the road neighbor and out next door neighbor took turns bringing our trash can up from the street every week after the...

    How many total stairs

    No stairs inside the house. 3 steps going up to front porch and a half step from porch through front door into the house. 4 steps from back yard to back deck, and again a half step from deck through door into the house.

    What happened to "just an oil change"?

    There’s a lifetime powertrain warranty on my car that I have no intention of voiding by going anywhere but the dealership. I appreciate the service manager who will tell me what needs to be taken care of that visit, but will also tell me what’s actually urgent, what isn’t, and what me or Ron can...
