You people like you and your husband are low risk.
You sir should be proud of your son. You kind of sound non approving, but many parents will be jealous of the respect and love your son showed.
I know, and my doctor has told me the same thing. Isn’t it a shame that the Democrats have scared my kids into believing that we are nearly on death’s doorstep? I may be a little closer than my kids statistically, but heavens! Life is a risk! I intend to live mine instead of hiding away like some other family members do!
I remember about 6 years ago finding out that one of my miserable daughters had been telling people that I was senile.
I was working part time in high stress professional field with up to 10 direct reports and 25 clients, I was running a well recommended private business part time as managing partner as well as a primary service provider, and I owned managed and ran a third business that required substantial management skills.
And I was said to be incapable. Her inlaws were surprised I was not drooling.
I continue to be involved in two of the three endeavors.
I have no trust and realize how dangerous this daughter is to my well being.
Sons are protective. Let them continue the habits. Say thank you and I love you. These gifts of service is their I love you.
Bask in it. Not many have that.
*** “I looked at my county stats...survival rate...99.9815” ***
In my mind Karen probably has a higher mortality rate
(I, myself am always nice and so therefore cannot influence the Study stats)
It is mixed feelings. I like the caring that my kids show, but in my mind I’m not old, despite the gray hair. It’s a whole lot better than indifference, of course.
I was visiting my mom and we went shopping - she was about 93 iirc. Sharp as a tack, still drove, good hearing, walked 2 miles every day, etc.
At the check-out counter the gal spoke loud and slow to her explaining something to her. (It seemed like mom didn’t even need the explanation).
I asked my mom if that bothered her to have people talk to her in such a manner as if she was really old and impaired.
“Well, I AM really old! I’m just glad that they are being so helpful!!”
hahaha sorry, brother! You can always cut her out of your will temporarily, and let he know, so she won’t be pushing so hard.
She is permanently cut out.
I do not suffer fools or liars.
The main thing I have noticed is that young women and teens do not care about fashion or looking good. Girls who are 30 pounds overweight wear stretchy short shirts and tight pants, which cause a roll of fat to be pushed out around their waist. I wonder, do they even look in the mirror before they go out looking like that? They can't possibly think they look good.
When I was a teen, we cared about fashion. We couldn't afford it in my neighborhood, but we tried.
Except for the fact that the case fatality rate currently stands at 1.714%, there is nothing to worry about. And, according to Maryland data, the case fatality rate for people age 60-69 is 3.05%. Nothing to worry about at all.
We couldn’t afford ‘fashion’ either but we didn’t have dirt under our fingernails, dirty hair, wrinkled clothes or generally poor personal hygiene.
This is America, no matter how poor you are there is always soap and water and it’s within the possibility for every woman to be well groomed and have some respect for herself
