  • Oh absolutely! That thought tag may be a hangover from everyone giving me reasons I "must" have kids, or I "will change my mind" about having kids "wait till you find the right guy". It seemed to break people's minds that a midwest small-town girl wouldn't want kids (same good christian folks who were also terrified I might have sex and get knocked up). It always appalled me when the conversation would take that "who's gonna take care of you when your old" turn. I have a good relationship with my folks now, I hope I can care for them to the best of my ability as they are getting up there. May not have always felt about them that way though, took some work. I can't hardly tale care of myself still though, and it worries me how much I Will be able to do, financially, time, etc. So yeah, came to terms with the idea of me being in a state home in general. But, having dementia or alzheimer's in that situation, to me, is terrifying. Being 100% at the whim of a stranger and unable to express any real needs or thoughts. I love to read, puzzle, learn and play games, learn new shit in general, recognize actors by voice in under a 30 secs... y'know brain stuff, lol. Just knowing it would be gone is sad and scary.

  • Right? It didn't help me! Growing old, then having dementia or alzheimer's but still alive and thinking I'm thinking, has already been a fear of mine. Especially always knowing I would never have kids, thus no chance of anyone to be around to help, besides strangers. And, probably at whatever gov. med. level of care, as I cannot ever seem to make any real progress in bettering our financial situation. But, I'd rather be aware of it than ignorant to it.

  • How? Where? None of us have money saved anymore. Groceries and rent have made sure we can't save any money for anything.

    ...Unless, there is an adopt an American family movement I haven't heard of? Can we start one?!

  • Oh yum, now we're talking. You know, they are pretty much all meat under there.

  • I mean, they're mostly meat, how can you say no? Like a pork cracklins good breakfast!

  • Yeah... I'm gonna have to pass on this Netflix n chill night.

  • Poor guy had a rough upbringing himself, I suppose.

  • I have learned there are 2 more seasons done starting in 2022, even have Frakes doing the intros. They are in German though, done through a German broadcast company.

  • There were lots of women with varied hair length and ages. Most vulcan women, Pulaski's can be considered short, the female Changeling, Ortegas, Seven...

  • Thanks! I believe I needed this ❤️

  • I love horror as well as sci fi and used to binge a lot of it when I was younger. I will always think of him from Re-Animator. It was so wonderfully bad. My family of trek lovers is quite tired of me exclaiming "Hey it's Herbert!" every time he pops up somewhere.

  • Indeed, I'm a little frightened!
