Okay this is going up because it’s chased someone away (

🤨) This is how long my hair is. It isn’t getting cut. Sorry if you don’t like it but move on…
This is the hardest day of my life so far. I handed over all legal documents, and informed the hospital that my dad is not allowed to return home. The decision is mine alone. He must be placed in a dementia care facility. Today.
He will hate me for the rest of his life.
I guess we said goodbye to Mom today. Her body has forgotten how to swallow, and her advance directive says no feeding tubes. So now we watch her starve.
Her doc said not to be horrified, it’s not like she KNOWS she’s starving to death.
Ima go ahead and be horrified anyway.
We thought she’d fallen back asleep when I suddenly heard “Well hello Darlin’!!!” I whipped around to see, yes, omg she knew me. Omgomg. She knew me and she said I love you. Amazing moment.
A gorilla showing its baby to people proves animals can sense human feelings and compare them with their own mental state. Kind interactions bring out the best. 🙏🪄
I feel horrible.
I DO understand that putting my dad in a dementia care home is somehow insulting to some people.
And that they think I’m not a good daughter now.

My hair is that long. On flights I braid it and throw it over the front of my shoulder so I know it isn’t bothering anyone. This is so lame! I’d complain!
I’m sorry you don’t agree with my choices, but I have zero doubt I did the right thing for my dad.
I’m not sure I’d presume to cast judgment upon those in whose shoes I have not walked. I already feel terrible, please don’t make it worse.

“The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) helpfully explains, “There are times when separating the mother and her unborn child is necessary to save the life of the mother, even if the unborn child is too premature to live.”
But as I said to this person, I like to think I’m smart enough to know when I’m in over my head and it’s time to call in the experts…
We could not get my dad to bathe anymore. Or change clothes. Or eat. Or see a doctor. Or sleep in his bed. He was wasting away. We failed.
And we have failed for years.
Now, since he’s been in the care of professionals, he’s eating every bite they give him and gaining weight already…
This remains the hardest, most painful decision and time in my life.

I’ve seen people who criticize her “work” attire get slaughtered for being so petty….but it MAKES A STATEMENT when her congressional colleagues are wearing SUITS and she’s hanging out in jeans and a sleeveless t-shirt. 🤦♀️

Thank god my husband had the decency to plan for how his body would be discovered.
Now there’s a sentence I never would’ve thought I’d say. 😳😖
Sing with your baby!
Studies show that infants are drawn to singing - with varying high and low pitches engaging their brains longer and fully than speech alone.
You don’t have to be an American Idol winner for your baby to love it.
And speaking of high and low pitches,
This is Brenda and Linda. They were brought into the shelter together, and Brenda had zero interest in being separated from her best friend. She jumped the kennel wall to get to Linda, and made sure everyone knew they were a package deal.
Now this is what I call aging gracefully in Hollywood! No Joker’s grin, no eyebrows pulled up to her frigging hairline, no plumped, plastic fillers…
Gorgeous. 🙌🏻

You know that one second, right before you hit follow back, where you hesitate and sort of…cringe?
You hit it and then begins a tiny countdown. You know within seconds. Immediate DM? Dammit I knew it!! 🤦♀️
13 next week I can’t believe it. You are so amazing Baby - Daddy’s suicide on our backs yet straight A report cards?!! 🙌🏻 You are loving and kind, mischievous and magical, brilliant and beautiful. Happy Birthday! 🎂🎁🎈😘 Love you Boo.
My hair is red and thick and curly. My eyes are green. I’m left-handed, and I was born on Christmas Day.
I am a comedy of errors and statistical improbabilities.
And I’m fine with that until someone comes along to tell me I’m ugly. Twitter can suck.
Real corpses were used in the 1982 film Poltergeist. The reason that real skeletons were used in the movie is because it was actually cheaper and more cost-effective than creating and using plastic fake ones.

How evil am I for getting some perverse thrill from watching McCarthy suffer? I actually hope to see this man’s dream crushed. I feel horrible. And yet not.
I had to call 911 to get my mom to the ER yesterday, and I was standing in her room with 6 paramedics and firefighters….
And I was the only one wearing a mask.
They knew they were coming into a dementia care home, that other patients are present.
WTF?

Helpfully, it was very clear to me yesterday that she’s repulsed by any attempt to even give her water. She’s just done with it all.

I haven’t slept in bed since my kitty died. It was her I hugged and snuggled as I fell asleep every night. 20 years is a long time to have a kitty friend.
