This guy is ABSOLUTELY correct.

I'm the sole caregiver for my Mom (*ZERO help), who is 80yo and about three years into full-blown Alzheimer's. For those of you who may not know, Alzheimer's isn't a "memory" disease. It's a "brain" disease...and your brain controls EVERYTHING.

I wake-up...every F*CKING morning...to "Stool'pocalypse" or the "Canyon Lake" of urine.


Yep, some days are just f*cked, and beyond unf*cking. You simply have to choose between swallowing a 12ga shell or "Keep on keeping on".

It is what it is...

Brother, my heart goes out to you. I can't imagine what you're going through. Sorry you have to deal with that.

I've been taking care of my dad (crazy situation to much to explain here) this is the second time in about 2 years he's been in icu on a vent with a feeding tube ,and a trach

There's a situation with people who are staying with him who just take advantage of the situation but have never helped me with him

It's not the same as your situation but can definitely be a tough one .. hang in there and just know you're mom knows you're helping and you're paying her back for raising you

ALWAYS KEEP ON.

ALWAYS. It is the better of those two options BY FAR AND EVERY TIME.

Everything is temporary. I probably wouldnt ever understand but if you need to talk to anyone let me know I'll give you my phone number.

Call ANYONE for that matter. Just dont give up ya?

Guys,


I hope it didn't seem like I was on my pity-pot and seeking sympathy. (*I really wasn't...although I REALLY, REALLY appreciate the empathy)

Most folks just don't "get" it. It appeared that the guy in the vid had trudged through some sh*t, and understood. I was just trying to agree with his take on things. 🤷‍♂️



*I really appreciate the kind words. SERIOUSLY.

I always take talk of suicide seriously.
You should too. No joke.

Glad you're not there but still man. You want to talk DM me your phone number and I'll call you back anytime.

Sorry, man...probably a bad choice of words.

You know that part of the brain that develops "tact"? Yeah, well, my brain lacks that part. I lack any kinda' filter. In fact, I pretty regularly have to sensor myself to post on any kinda' civilized Forum like this one.


Again, thanks for the offer. I'll definitely add you to my "I've had enough of this sh*t" call list. 👍

Alzheimer’s is one of the hardest conditions for loved one’s to go through. The frustration with cognitive decline and then not knowing you is truly devastating. I spent a career in ICU and also saw my father go through it. I am very sorry you are having this happening and can only pass on the need to take ‘self-time’ to clear your head, even if only to get outside and appreciate nature for a bit. It truly sucks…
 
Salesman stopped back to talk to me about the 2024 dark horse mustang (I've never heard of it till he mentioned it)

Showed me a new optional color called blue ember ... and from the video looks like the mustang will have color change paint

Been a while since I've seen that kind of paint on a mustang (if it actually is)

Hopefully you’ll never have one cross your path in the future.

All that flop would definitely make it challenging to match.

Very very true! That would lead to a basic paint a bumper becoming blend hood and fenders which would pay me more lol

Usually with color change you paint the vehicle black then a mid coat of the color change ... then clear coat

Tricky part of some actually will change color different if you spray them "wet" vs "dry"
