My BFF had her mom walk her down the aisle. Her moms corsage had a stick pin type charm, with a tiny picture of her and the brides father, on their wedding day. It was very sweet. So sweet. Dd found an Etsy shop that will turn handwriting into a charm. She’s going to use “Baby Girl” and “Love, Daddy” and hang them on her bouquet. She was mad at him about something when she was around 8, we can’t remember why. But he wrote her an apology note that included “Daddy loves you” and gave her flowers. This was not typical of him, but it obviously made an impact. She said “I don’t remember what I was so mad about, but I’m glad I was.” Because she has the note to remember.

I’ve been taking walks in my neighborhood. Last night I passed the home of old friends. We have been out of touch for a very long time. They were out front and we had a really nice visit, with hopes of more. And hoping she and I can go walking together sometime soon. They even brought up memories of good times together, stuff with them and me and Fred, that I had forgotten about.

Ohh my word! Thank God you weren’t hurt worse. You might consider a visit to a chiropractor to ensure everything is in alignment.

At what age do you think someone should be planning for this? I was widowed last year very unexpectedly and it certainly made me feel like I have no future at all. However, I was widowed at 54 and while I feel the best of my life has already been lived, I need to try to make something of my future. I don't think packing it all in is necessary at this time, but I do find myself trying to pare down my belongings. It's just sad and depressing to do that without my husband. It still feels too hard to make any big changes.
I’m so sorry. You don’t need to do all this now as detailed as has been mentioned. But if you have children you need something in place. An executor of your will, a guardian for your children, who inherits your items. You can always work on the rest later. I am going to call someone about setting up a trust for my kids. I’m still getting questions together. They are older, youngest is 16 and the others are adults.

You could try moving it a half hour at a time and see how you make out. That way it doesn’t feel so drastic.

I’m wondering if the air tag could clip to his shoe or something. I just sent the link to my friend whose mom also is dealing with dementia. She lives with them but they both work FT and have a shore place they go to on the weekend. Mom prefers to stay home. They have cameras throughout the house and she is notified when the front door is opened.
they have an aide come but it’s only a few hours each day. I live across the street so I told her to text me anytime she wants me to check on her, make sure she eats etc.

I was going to use the $10 credit I earned to save a little money on a Hyperchiller and a portable light box I've had my eye on for a while.... apparently you cannot use two items to reach the $50 mark, it needs to be one $50+ item for the credit to apply - I think that's kind of ridiculous! What's also frustrating is that you can only use the credit if the purchase is initiated through the Assistant extension, which I do not have on my work computer, so if anything strikes me during a limited time while I'm at work I won't be able to use the extra discount. I know this is a tiny first world problem, but still annoying. I'll keep an eye on the deals anyway, maybe something will be too good to pass on but we'll see. That’s odd. That did not happen for me. I bought something off a registry. Originally $43, reduced to $25. It asked if I wanted to use my $10 discount.

The deal guy on YouTube is great. He’s got a video with the best deals, updated hourly. And in the description is a list of everything he mentions, with links included. So you can do a quick visual scan of everything rather than watching the entire video. youtu.be/TZ34FSvuXwQ

Not for nothing, but as an American I didn’t know Washington was a British war hero.
I know even less about the British Monarchy. I could recognize some names and such but not what was accomplished under their reign. I think I’ve learned more on this thread about the scope of the conquests of GB/UK.

If it’s where the entire class is graduating and they are all party hopping, I think the kids agree together on gifts or no gifts. Otherwise I take a card with $25 check.

I have this dress in navy with sunflowers and not only is it comfortable, it doesn’t wrinkle. 👍 plus it’s a decent length, some are made for teeny boppers. I have some sundresses from Old Navy but prefer this.

I wouldn't worry about it, either. You're not scamming them...they are just going above and beyond to keep a loyal customer. And I hope your suggestion works for the future! This. Let it go. They want you to know they are taking your complaint seriously. That’s great customer service. Also your idea is a good one. I hope they implement it.

smalltowngirlie @gajenny thank you! Good advice both of you. I absolutely plan to speak with an estate planner very soon. I have a general will in place but want to set up a trust.

What a sad story. ETA: It makes me think about when I was a teenager and my paternal grandfather passed away. He was not biologically my grandfather; my dad’s dad died when my dad was about 12 and my grandmother married the man I knew as my grandfather when my dad was about 15. But to me, he was my grandfather and I thought I was an equal in his eyes to his biological grandchildren. It wasn’t until he died and my brother and I were left out of his will and everything went to his biological grandchildren that we learned he thought of us differently. Obviously, this son was never treated equally but what a slap in the face at the end of his father’s life. I’m so sorry. I don’t know your story obviously, but I wonder if there’s something else to it. We have what I would say is a considerable amount of money but ONLY because of choices dh made throughout his life out of a desire to provide for his family. And of course because he died. (PSA for the peas - Make sure you have a good amount of life insurance if that’s important to you!) If I were to get married again, I would have a dilemma. Because I don’t feel like it would be right for money that Fred worked and planned and died for to provide for HIS children to go to someone else’s children. I don’t know if that makes sense. There’s no one on the horizon for me at the moment. If that changes this is a conversation I would have to have. I might leave a token amount to new dh and kids, but ultimately I feel like I’m more of a steward of dh money on behalf of his kids. I don’t know if this helps. I hope it doesn’t make it worse. I talked with my stepmom. She and my dad agreed that their respective kids would be the recipients upon their death. She didn’t even receive any insurance money when he passed. She is more of a mother to me than my mother is. The fact that I won’t receive an inheritance from her won’t change that. Trust that your grandfather loved you.
