Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Fwiw Consuela, the social worker who did my Mom's "evaluation" at the Retirement Castle was able to get her to agree to help that she wouldn't even talk to me about. Some of it was because the advice came from capital-A Authority rather than one of her children.
Bringing in some kind of third-party expert/coordinator may cost extra but may pay off both for you AND your parents.

If only that would work. It's worth calling my mother's PCP, I suppose, but in general Mom's been suspicious & distrustful of everyone on this topic. Although she is in general very respectful of actual doctors, even though she never follows their advice.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
javachik, that's awesome and I'm sorry.
I *love* reading on the Kindle. I didn't expect to, but I do.
I hoped I would, but it hasn't grabbed me. That may yet change. We'll see.
It's really great when I read while eating or standing on BART because it eliminates the whole "keeping the pages down" issue. I really didn't think I'd like it either, but I've found it very convenient.

Good luck with your parents, Consuela. I hope it doesn't turn out to be too stressful.
As for your job, I don't eve know what to say. What an endless nightmare.
Lots of ~ma for your SO's dad, Liese.
I totally went to a Bad Eggs place on the bezoar thing, too. My HP ignorance is showing.
He asked me why I was competitive. I told him "because I woke up this morning."
Ha! Excellent answer.

Because books.
Consuela, I'm sorry -- that's going to be a tough road.
ion, I love my Kindle Fire more than my kids some days. It's the best toy I've ever had outside of my Easy Bake Oven and the Barbie head that you could put makeup on.

I always wanted a Barbie head.
Maybe I should get a Kindle Fire. That makes sense.

Hubby was sure I'd get tired of my Nook, but it's become one of those things that I get antsy not to have within arm's reach, like my Palm--and for the same reason. Fic! Must have fic in case I get five seconds to read something.

I thought the Barbie head was creepy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys, technology is magic. My cat just walked over my computer and locked the trackpad. So using tab and whatever, I googled the problem and found the answer (fn + F9) super easily! Phew. I was scared.
Good luck with all of it, Consuela. I can't believe the shit with your job.
