Xander ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It takes me seconds to read instructions.
ITA.
Not to mention the fact that streaming video is blocked at my workplace, anyway. Very annoying.
A friend of mine, who just got divorced and has little surviving family and no kids, is talking about something like senior co-housing, with independence but also a lot of community. I have to admit it sounds like it'd be a good way to go.
I think office morale would improve if there were weekly baby visits.
And/or hookers and blow.
TOTALLY. Although maybe not the babies and blow at the same time.
This [link] being built in my neighborhood, which is already home to a senior independent living complex.

HOOKERS AND BABIES!

Productivity seems to suffer in all cases, though.
After going through what she has with her mom, my mother is pretty much just, "If it gets bad, hold a pillow over my face, please."
Oh yeah. My sister and I have had that conversation. Neither of us wants to be in the situation our mom was, in her last couple years. My sister's 14 years older than me, and I can't even stand to think about what I'd do without her. I dread that someday I'll have to take care of her, without anyone to help me. Her daughters are useless in any kind of crisis, alas.
Why the hell is everything videos these days? The only instruction for something I'm trying to do is on a damn video, which will take 4 minutes to watch and I might have to watch it again. It takes me seconds to read instructions.
I am you in this regard. I can read faster than most anyone can talk.
HOOKERS AND BABIES!
It seems to work for Charlie.
I'd move into assisted living right now if I could.

God, that drives me batshit. Also, vblogs (video blogs). I read blogs for a reason - if I wanted to watch instead of read I'd turn on the tv.

When I first moved to New York, and worked for a place that had case management services for people with HIV, I was SO JEALOUS when I was overhearing one of the case managers dealing with a super or landlord or something -- I could totally have used something like that. But yeah, not so much the HIV....
I hate instructional videos, too. I always wind up taking notes. Which wouldn't be necessary if it was already text.
HOOKERS AND BABIES!
The hookers could bring theirs!
A friend's parents lived at an assisted living place we called The Ritz. It had a concierge who got tickets to shows and arranged for transportation. It took residents to the grocery store in a limo every few days. It had a library, restaurant and gym. We were ready to move in, except for the price.
My aunt lived in subsidized assisted living in Nashville, and while not as grand, it did have a library, gym and all kinds of activities.
