That was much easier than I expected. Didn't even need a hammer, just pliers. I'm glad I didn't put shoes on and go back out for that.

Adult problems: trying to figure out the right timing for going to a friend's mother's visitation either before or after seeing my father in the nursing home.
My parents are proposing an Alaska trip this summer for the whole family, on their dime. Mom just asked if I would share a room with them. NOPE. And nope nope NOPE. I'll pay the difference myself, with glee. Not playing spinster aunt, not murdering one of them within 48 hrs. I inherited their thriftiness, but these days, I'm of an age and paycheck I only room with people when I really want to. My snoring, insomniac parents don't make the list.
Oh, hell no.
Right? I mean, I know where mom is coming from. But, no.
100% correct decision there, sarameg.
I'd share a room with mom if it were the two of us. Dad is deal breaker. Never. Them as a couple is as well (their fussing at each other is cute...if you can run from it.) Dad in my home requires a shitton of forbearance for 2100 sq ft, never thinking a room.
omg so right, sarameg.
