Look at this fuckinghipster18th century trephination set:
GIVE IT TO ME. I promise to be responsible and not actually drill holes in my head.
Puppies! N'aaaaaw. So cute!
Someone give me a sanity check on shoes, please? After seeing these on a model at one of the fashion shows this weekend, I am lusting after them to a ridiculous degree: [link]
Because of the platform, I'd be able to walk in them easily. But I can't tell if this is just my goth magpie brain going "Ooooh, LITERALLY shiny!" or what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I only clicked on the dogs with the cute names, and Spike and Becker do look pretty nifty, although Becker is totally more a Becker than Spike is a Spike. I know he's had that name a while, and it would be confusing to rename him, but it's the wrong name, dammit.

Don't think I didn't notice that you refrained from making promises about drilling holes in other people's heads.

Spike is one of mac's top two names for a future dog. Meanwhile no way any dog of ours would be a Spike in nature. Bubbles, maybe, shnugglebunny, more likely.

I won't do it on accident? I'll have a reason?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Me! I have headaches! You can drill a hole in my head!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
but with persons with dementia, talking about things before they happen (and trying to get them to accept changes) actually makes it worse for all involved. Sometimes the changes just have to be made.
Yeah, I get that, and that's where we are. Unfortunately the last time we just bulled forward, Mom kind of freaked out and it ended badly.
Still, onward. Thanks all y'all: I have been doing my research, but the truth is that even for the doctors and social workers and geriatric care managers we've been working with, this is a particularly difficult situation because of Mom's mental health issues and declining physical health on top of the dementia.
