Sucks when your elderly mother, who hardly ever uses her iPhone, spends ~$250 on a cellular apple watch so it'll call 911 if she falls and doesn't respond, and then when she gets it she can't use it because she has an iPhone 6s+ and Apple wants to force her to upgrade so they won't allow it to pair.

So now what's she supposed to do? Spend $800+ on an iPhone she'll barely use just so she won't have to buy another one for 4-5 years?

I have some coworkers and was telling them about how we used to take our car stereo face plates with us when we left the car back in the days when stereos weren't integrated into the dash and you wanted a nice one.

They were very amazed. So I made this meme.

"More than four years after covid first raged through many U.S. nursing homes, hundreds of lawsuits blaming patient deaths on negligent care have been tossed out or languished in the courts amid contentious legal battles.

Even some nursing homes that were shut down by health officials for violating safety standards have claimed immunity against such suits, court records show."

Some forms of stress are a speedway ticket to accelerated aging and even early death.

A psychiatrist and medical professor helps lay out the differences between good stress and the toxic kind.

How can we treat it? By adopting daily habits that help the stress response system self-regulate.

Two very old, grey-haired guys hobbling along the towpath with two very old, grizzled dogs.

Canals are a wonderful community resource – linear parks with water, grass, trees and a path to walk, jog, and cycle on, and to share with boaters.

For boaters, the canal bank and towpath are our garden.

"I have no one': Kinless Canadians struggling to age with dignity"

"You may live longer, but you may not necessarily live better," Watts said of the longevity paradox. "Relationships are really important in how we live. We know, for instance, that many older men in particular die by suicide…They're 👉 literally dying of loneliness."

Injustice has always been my flash anger trigger (for a lot of reasons & experience I'm not going to detail here).

But the older I get, the less apologetic and circumspect I become about expressing those opinions and heat. I guess rage can build slowly.

It was no surprise that would put on an amazing show, but neither of us expected Ronan to hand the kiddo one of the drum sticks at the end of the show. Such a great memento for her first time seeing them!

(Also kudos to the kiddo for grabbing a spot up front while I dealt with merch and coat check; being up at the very front was fun!)

The least pleasant surprise of the evening is how unforgiving the metal plate attached to the front row barrier would be. My feet hurt SO. BAD. I did okay getting to the car, partly because I had to and partly because I hadn’t sat down yet, but I can barely put weight on them now that I’m home.

My current hypothesis is that bourbon will fix it.
