His major barrier now is attitude/will. He seems to be more depressed in the morning, and I'm hoping that is the case today. He confessed he had tiff with his team of doctors this morning. "Over what?" Pause..."End of life." I asked if he would like me to bring him some of his chocolate stash, and got an enthusiastic response. He has told me to stay away because he has been exposed to covid in hospital, and I have had a cold with fever, but my fever has been down for 36 hours and I'm going over, with chocolates.
It's a problem. For all their talk about honoring my wishes, my doctors are much less sanguine about the end of my life than I am.

Don't tell him, but I almost wish my brother's recovery from a recent stroke weren't quite so complete. I liked him when he was docile.

It's when he becomes docile that you'll have to worry!

OTOH, that your husband is "there" enough to rail against limitations and restrictions seems to me to be an unalloyed good.

Seems as much an accident as anything else.

My wife’s transition to hospice care was one of the joyous moments of her life.

I need you to talk to my landlord.

god, you people are weak.
also, none of you know to hold the metal lid of a jar under very hot running water in the kitchen sink just long enough for the metal to expand a little?
You think I didn’t do that first thing?

Curse you! Now I've got one in my cart. I wish someone would make something for all the medicine bottles and other things with the lids that you have to push down and turn. My hands will not do it.
Nor will mine. I was able to instruct my pharmacy to replace all the child (and elderly)-proof caps on the medicine bottles they dispense to me with easy-off caps. (I had to promise there were no children and maybe pets in my apartment.) Maybe you can, too.

I hope I'm not insulting you by suggesting something obvious, but have you tried a good lid-down whack on the counter? I have had success with this method.
I TOTALLY tried that!

I tried that.

I have this jar of Polish pickles that I absolutely can't open, no matter what tools I use.
I'm beginning to wonder if the lids in Poland rotate in the opposite direction to ours.

Oh tell them to fuck themselves.

I liked the very last scene, showing them living this happy normie life (her hairdo!) haunted by the horrible act that permitted it.

You liked? The ending was somewhat troubling.
I thought that was one of the best things about it.

I win! But I’ll write about that elsewhere eventually.

I'm happy Madison Chock and Evan Bates got married. I think all ice dancing partners should get married. I think the world should more like a classically defined comedy: in the end, everybody should marry each other.
