Ah, the greats. There was a theme, young teen female with older non teen male... never met a great grandfather but great grandmothers were around. One mean as all get out, another was nice but dementia grabbed her from an age I could remember. Lots from that generation on my fathers side still lived in Italy and were alive, but I never met them.

I got plants one year, back when they took imprints of you CC, that fricker tried to max out the card. I ended up with free plants because the CC company just denied everything.

Shaq's people are pretty up front about how much time you will get from him when you hire him. It's 30 minutes for his DJ gig, and that isn't 30 minutes performing... that's a total 30. I am sure there are other arrangements, but I have heard they are pretty up front.

They make it seem like he has super rare blood... he just had anti D. Lots of people make that after their first transfusion.

I have been impressed with the Ninja all clad knock off.

Between that and cast iron you would be set.

Hmm, wonder how yall feel when you find out why we use 98.6 F as our standard body temp.

“Institutions” got a bad name but it seems like things have gone to the other extreme. I’ve seen people in local Facebook groups post about people with mental illness who they can’t manage and they don’t know what to do. And if people do “institutionalize” their kid/sibling/parent there is a huge stigma.
There really are no great options out there, especially if you aren’t wealthy.

We really need to determine the underlying cause of autism (not to derail the thread), but the rate at which it has increased over time is insane, and I don’t attribute that simply to changes in our definitions or diagnostic testing.

We have a non verbal autistic child. Right now he is mostly manageable, however, if he were the size of my oldest son there is no way we could manage him safely. As of now we don't do vacations, we don't do much away from home, there is NOBODY that will watch him. He has been kicked out of programs designed for autistic and disabled children because he is too much for them to watch... well WTF, you think we have some special training or super powers?

No idea where to go if he doesn't improve and gets bigger. The options are literally drop them off at the ED like it is said here and let the state deal with it... but you can't see them again or have big money to do a home with 24 hour care and check out privileges for the parents. We aren't poor, we both make livable incomes, but you need to be rich to afford these places. Ah, and the making decent money thing, we make too much to get any help and not enough to afford help. It's fricked up.
