Elijah functions pretty well for the most part but still ... like the other day I made it to the bathroom using the walker but then realized that was a really bad idea, so I called to him and asked him to bring me the wheelchair. Which he did and then galloped off to go do other things. Never occurred to him that his suffering Grandmother might like a PUSH in the wheelchair to get back down the hall to her recliner. It was all I could do to even get in it!

You want a wheelchair, here's your wheelchair, bye!

This is true.

Wonder how things will work for Robert when you pass. Will he still need a guardian or payee? Could you put him in charge of paying the bills now so he can understand what running a household wil entail?

Oh he knows how. He made the bills for a solid yr. before deciding he was done.

I think the same is going to be true for my GC. Sometimes I think DH and I should sell this house and land and tell her, You're on your own. Good luck, have a nice life. No more nest, time to learn to fly. I mean, we won't always be here and there's no way she can afford this house, the utilities, the insurance, the taxes, etc.

Is she still going to school? My DH was lucky. Got a good job with city in his 40. He gets a good pension. Think what it could be if he started at 20.

No she's not. Basically she works for me.

We have so many projects we need to get done this spring/summer! Mine and DH bedroom needs a total redo.
We have to fix the roof sealing leaks.
Fix a gutter.
Pull down the porch.
Fix the bathroom ceiling.
That is just the start!
The doing is stressful, but I think the money is more stress

The price of things keeps going higher. Those tariffs are not my favorite things!

Yes, where hemoglobin (bloid) has an atom of iron, Chlorophyll has one of copper, I believe. Otherwise they are identical. Isn't that interesting?

Very interesting!

I have tried a couple times. I mostly just try to squeeze dollars and turn lights off.

This just isn't fair to any of us. It shouldn't be this hard to live.

In Japan, houses are held by families. Each generation pays as long as they can. Another generation takes over. And so on.

Oh he knows how. He made the bills for a solid yr. before deciding he was done.

After you pass, if he doesn't pay bills, he will have debt collectors after him and could lose the house.

Good morning, Grannyland! How's everyone doing this fine morning? Sleep good? Ready to face the day? What've we got planned?

Have we had our coffee?

Morning all, I have discovered something odd about aging. I am getting taller! I mean, think about it. I bet you all are too. Is the toilet bowl keep getting farther and farther away when you try to sit down? When you drop your meds. on the floor and the dogs come running do you swoop them up quickly or start yelling at the dogs? And how did I get so many dogs anyway? (unrelated but still) Do you find yourself needing to bend over at the sink to wash the dishes? I don't remember needing to do that when I was young.
Its the only answer, I am growing taller! I bet some of you are as well. If so, Share what you know...

PS, My house is not shrinking or settling. I know because the 3 contractors I called to check it out all said it was impossible. One even came out to meet me but his measuring tapes must of been in his other vehicle because he mentioned having to go get the paddy wagon.. I forgot he was coming back and decided it was nap time. I guess with all them dogs barking he didn't want to come back.
