  1. Its different in every family, but just asking the other siblings for assistance might be beneficial.  With my mom, I was the closest and had the most interaction over the last couple years.  Once it was determined that mom was not capable of going to doctors appointment alone or dealing with finances, I had to step in.  My sister is an hour and a half away, so it was easier for me to take a few hours for a doctors appointment.  When something happened in the middle of the night, I was the one to head over to mom's.

    There were things that she could do from a distance, though.  When we needed to research hospice and care homes, she ran point.  When mom was in the hospital various times, my sister would come up and spend the night with her.  She was the contact for care home administrators, hospice people, social workers, etc.  If something wasn't going right in those areas, she'd make the call - she has a knack for getting cell phone numbers and always had a direct line.  I spend more time dealing with mom and her affairs, but my sister was great and extremely helpful to me and my mom.  

    For those going through these issues now or will be going through them soon, I suggest trying to find roles for more than just one person.  All of the financial stuff can be done online now, many medical things are online as well.  My heart goes out to those going through the struggle of assisting aging parents.

    I picked up a pair of these Costa Reefton Pro glasses a couple weeks ago.  I have several pairs of Costas over the years and still have three pairs in addition to these.  The little groves on the nose piece really helped them not fog up while wearing a balaclava.   The 580 glass lenses are great for fishing inshore.

    Since when do you need your whole crew to grocery shop, especially since at least one is one their phone blocking the aisle anyway?

    Worst I've encountered:  Mom, Dad, two middle school aged children, grandma, and grandpa.  Every time I turned down an aisle, there they were.

    Saw them in the parking lot headed to the car after the family shopping spree - two fucking bags of groceries.

    Yeah playing LA Galaxy and DC United will do that, but I'm not complaining.

    Really important 5 games coming up vs Houston, vs Dallas, @ Montreal, @ Kansas City, @ Dallas

    All of those games are winnable with a point expectation in pretty much all of them. Playoffs are within sight if they continue the roll.
     

    The nice thing about it is that out of the remaining 12 matches, only Seattle and LAFC are ahead of us in the table and both of those games are at Q2.  We are sitting at 7th right now with at least a game in hand against everyone buy LAFC.

    You never see those cars off Rundberg. Rundberg is full of beat to shit minivans with fake plates and giant work trucks with fake plates. 

    I bet they're not certified, though.

    The fact that "streamers" are wildly popular multi-millionaire celebs.  Had no idea who this dude was, till he showed up at the MLS all-star game and everyone under the age of 20 was taking pics of him:

    Ok.  I don't get it.  I guess I'm at may old man yelling at clouds stage now.

    I was in the north end behind the goal.  Kids were going nuts about this guy the whole time - much more so than for the soccer players.  There was even a middle school aged pitch invader that ran out there looking for the Speed fella.

    For the better part of a year in the late 1970s you couldn't miss this tune on radio.  I actually met him once, as he went to college with one of my horn teachers so we went to a big outdoor concert west of Chicago.  Nice guy.

     

    My mind associates this song, played a little faster, with a theme song from the 70s or early 80s.  I've searched and it is not, but there is something close out there.

    New center back with a deal through 2028 and an option for 2029.  He'll take an international slot and a senior roster spot next year, so someone has to go.  I'm guessing Jader Obrian.  Austin is going to be intimidating as hell with a Ukrainian and a Serbian on the back line.
