Used to lmao when the kids would play Uncle Roger's videos. He's hilarious.

A while back, I took a Mental Health First Aid course. I learned a *lot* from it. As with physical first aid, it's not about diagnosing or curing, it's about identifying signs that someone may be in trouble, and what steps you can take to help them in the immediate moment until they can get professional help.

As a special perk for 15, whose assistance will be in greater need for at least a few weeks, they were given bonus $ for a social event with close friends this evening, plus one of the other parents is providing transportation. Usually, the "B" word seems overused/trite, but this *is* such a blessing. 😅

Some intrepid CoSonauts who are far better at math than us have done, well, the math.

A Pro account costs a scant $0.17 per day.

Seventeen pennies.

We can't think of anything that provides better value than that.

The past two days were so physically taxing and mentally stressful that my son and I agreed to wait until Monday before dealing with insurance or medical professionals. After he was discharged from the hospital yesterday, we managed to retrieve important items from his wrecked car. Airbag didn't even deploy. It's a miracle he wasn't more severely injured or killed. Nothing but relief and gratitude, believe it. 💖

Find this helpful, and true, for most chronic illness/pain patients.

Did the pandemic change our personalities?

Recent study spanning the first two years of the pandemic broadly explores shifts in the Big Five traits.

He's being kept overnight for observation. Yes, a possible concussion is a concern. He was quite lucid when the nurses checked his stats and physical reflexes. Laughing hurt, though. Doesn't matter how old he or 15 get, in my heart they'll always be my youngins.

@CanisPundit

Right?! Apparently, when he mentioned his wrist, that was the Dilaudid talking. No wrist fracture.

Thanks, everyone. So... Thoracic compression fractures. Ffs. He might be staying overnight since there's not a licensed PT on call rn to fit his brace. Honestly, kiddo staying overnight might not be a bad thing, y'know, just in case.

If one had asked my son or I how either of us wanted to spend this evening, being in the emergency department was certainly not on that list. Apparently he had a nasty accident while driving home from work. All he remembers is coming to, here in the hospital. He's drifting in & out, has an obvious knot on his noggin, and it looks like the seatbelt nearly broke the skin on his neck. Only thing we know for sure is that he does have a wrist fracture. For now, we wait.

A recent government survey reports that people are more cynical these days than any time in history. Like I'm really supposed to believe that…

@Bix

Good grief. I eagerly await the day when this idiotic sumbish no longer holds an elected position in Arkansas.
