Your roof construction may be different.
Slate roofs last forever.

Asphalt, tin and wood shingles roofs have a much shorter lifespan due to the tempature and insects like termites & carpenter ants.

Most roofs will last 15 to 25 years.

Would you vote for a person who was responsible for euthanasia of the elderly, infirm and disabled.?

Every individual has the right to vote for anyone.
Condemning them for exercising that right goes against the democratic principal.

The person who you became friends with isn't any different because of their beliefs. They were the same person all along that you became friends with.

Hating them for that is no different than being a homophobic / misogynistic person.

@singlemaltgirl don't.

Would you vote for a person who was responsible for legalized elderly euthanasia?

Whom ever you decide to vote for is your right & choice.

You don't have to agree with them.

But if it changes a friendship because you don't agree with them & they accept your choice to vote whom you want while you won't accept their choice?

You don't deserve their friendship.

Acceptance is not conditional. Ether you do, or dont.

Hope your mom is home soon!

The new otc covid tests also include testing for the flu as well.

While I understand some people are unable to get vaccinations- others should, especially health care workers & every one who isn't currently.

There is a new RSV vaccine out. Get it!

Covid vaccinations are like flu vaccinations, you need to update them.

My mom went in for wound care over a month ago. It was supposed to only be for 2 weeks. Right as her wound healed enough to come home, someone in the facility tested positive for covid. She then tested positive a few days later and we had to fight with them to get her started on paxlovid immediately. She's symptom free thanks to being vaccinated and paxlovid, but she's still testing positive. We're hoping she can come home soon.

Please wear a mask you guys. Covid, h5n1, and rsv are ramping up.

Might be time for your doctor to do blood work to see what's going on.

So many times feeling tired is written off as depression. True depression creates a specific chemical imbalance in your brain.

"I feel tired" can be anemia, low potassium , or even cancer - but each of those have a specific type of being tired.
Blood work can sort that out.
Hope you feel better soon.

@Tee_Lynn @TwistedWhim probably?
But those may be in the Google play store.

I generally write on my tablet then mail it to myself and copy past it into my word program.

@Tee_Lynn @TwistedWhim
There are several programs on Amazon app which convert speach to text

Notepad pro allows you to dictate, and it was really inexpensive. It also allows you to mail documents from the program. There are no ads in the paid version.

There is also Writers Plus (free) which will do word count and read the doccument.

@EnochianEntropy just adding, "eventually" I will have time to figure out formatting of books to get my book series published.

I have started a blog to share some of the stories.
mythsbringer.wordpress.com/

Basically, there are two distinct book arcs, one is a series of short stories which occured in the same universe, the other story arc references the first one.

I have to get through my liver biopsy before I start any new book series, though the hospital has lousy internet...

My parents moved x miles from the major city after ww2. My mom kept x amount of survival food on hand that she would rotate, all of us kids were taught extremely survival . What wild food to find, how to fish, hunt, prepare a fire & shelter. What sap you could drink.

Reality is the death will come from the forever winter.

No matter where you are.

@Jess
Best decision I made was to upscale my 20 yr old furnace.
I mean, I was able to read the error codes and fixed it several times. I just couldn't depend on it not failing again in sub below Temps.

So much safer too.

Hey,
While I found the dm/ mail area I haven't figured out how to send you one here.

Check your im on twitter.

@vanish726
Generally you do not lose medicare due to age- as it's a federal program.

Even if he chooses not to pick up the supplemental insurance he still has basic coverage for doctors & hospitals.

You may check on your states market place for insurance options even with pre existing conditions they will find a plan for you.

I've been dropped 4x by insurance companies in the last 3 years for pre existing conditions -

It's frustrating !

Deep breath. You can do this.
