Aggressively passive. Trying to be clever without offending anyone. News junkie. Proud ๐จ๐ฆ! No longer counting beans. Still watching hockey & living life.
Sad, indeed. But not surprising. My experience shows 95% of your friends and family will disappear. Some because they are offended that the person living with dementia stopped reaching out to them and they can't be bothered to find out why. Others because they are uncomfortable.
Itโs awful to think Gene Hackman was on his own, no doubt bewildered because of his Alzheimerโs, for a full week after his wife died suddenly of hantavirus.
No one checked on him.
I hope, at least, people will drop the crazy conspiracy theories now.
RIP.
The entire bathroom discourse is insane. IRL, normal people help single parents do what they need to to use the bathroom with kids - either direction - holding doors/heads up to those coming in - people nod or wait and then go โgood job parentโ and on their way.
@rattlecans@DartPip@JenniferPregea1 As a woman, I can attest that from my enclosed stall neither my dignity nor privacy is in jeopardy because a father is helping his young girls in the ladies room.
@Reiss_ASmith Your choice risks exposing young children to men's genitals. I've always thought the open urinal thing was distasteful. I would be in favour of unisex restrooms without urinals and many stalls.
Girl dads:
Do not bring little girls into the men's room. We do not want little girls exposed to adult, male genitals.
You are welcome to bring your girl(s) into the women's restroom.
Just give a knock, say you're a girl dad coming in, and you'll be fine.
@Debra_Stone75@therobbieharvey Nope. You're wrong. That's what the police said.
What exactly do you think this father was going to do or see by taking his GIRLS into a female washroom? Wouldn't young girls be breaking the "rules" by using the male washroom? Where men expose themselves using urinals?
Just returned from the U.S. Not a word about Trump. Not a word about CUSMA. Not a word about Canada.
They simply don't care.
Yet many Canadians seem convinced that a Republican loss in the midterms would be a game changer.
Maybe.
But I wouldn't count on it. Even if Democrats reclaim Congress, there's no guarantee U.S. trade policy toward Canada would change in any meaningful way. The Obama and Biden years were difficult for our farmers and agri-food sector. More predictable, but difficult.
America is focused on America.
