You are not alone in feeling that. It is a different time now, and a person is not paranoid if they "trust no one".

One of the issues is people saying the same words, but the meanings have changed.

It's hard to be caught up in the maw of the healthcare system, you have no choice but to trust them yet experience has taught me they aren't trustworthy.

Good morning CWillie.
Sorry that a family member is ill.
You are the very best person to be giving your sister that advice.

Hoping sister's husband will step up.

Sister's MIL has had a heart attack yesterday and decisions must be made. Sis is listed as the contact and got a phone call at 3 a.m. from a doctor to explain what was going on - they seriously expect people to have a rational conversation in the middle of the night? ... this was just a heads up call, nothing needing immediate decisions.
Sis called me for advice this morning, I told her she needs to watch her back and defer to family, plus as far as we know now MIL still has capacity to make her own choices. The family drama will begin this morning as sis starts making phone calls 😬

Gershun,
On the day to day living home front, I am very saddened to hear that your cat, Daniel, has died today. 😿

I will be remembering him, the stories you have told, and the way you stood strong with him through to the end of his life.

Prayers for your comfort.

At the start of the crisis far too many politicians (and locally a couple of big hospital CEO's) obviously thought there was nothing wrong with hopping on a plane to go to visit family or take a holiday on a tropical island while at the same time admonishing us to stay locked down in our homes and not go out except for essentials, lots of CYA demotions and dismissals ensued once the press exposed them. Currently our Premier has given his caucus notice that they must be vaccinated or they'll be kicked out, people here are losing patience with the vaccine hesitant and are downright angry at the belligerent.

CW I'm still grinning, some months later, over the SPECTACULAR car crash resignation of our last Health Secretary, Matt Hancock. Caught on CCTV snogging a woman (not his good lady wife) in his office, and this lady also occupying a senior position *to which he had appointed her* and it turned out was an old flame from his university days.

My son reposted a vulgar but extremely funny video on the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x41AYqvlCAs

Not even Boris could keep him after that. Sometimes you just don't know where to look.

I'm concerned about all of this covid stuff, the fires here in B.C., the situation with the Taliban heartbreaking. My cat Daniel dying of lung cancer.

Life sucks in so many ways. I'm going to be in constant prayer for a good while I think.😟

I mean politically Send.
Sure we have our anti vaxxers too but on the whole there is no comparison. And our politicians and other elite found out pretty early on that any kind of covid hypocrisy would not be tolerated.

Obama just threw himself a birthday bash at Martha's Vineyard with hundreds of high profile guests including politicians and Hollywood celebs, maskless and no vax mandate. Laws are only for the little people.

I just found out we are still not allowed to have an indoor gathering of more than 25 people so my uncle's funeral will be graveside and the lunch following will be at an outdoor pavilion, this despite the fact we can dine in restaurants and hold religious services at 50% capacity. Some of these rules make no sense. They could have gone with a church funeral and a restaurant reception with no problems.

Wait - if you are getting your news feed emailed to you (I didn't even know that was a thing) you can change that in your settings, I don't get much mail from AgingCare because I have opted out of most of it. Click on your avatar, select settings then select subscriptions, turn off the caregiver connections and anything else you don't want to see in your emails. You can still check your news feed when you come to the site but you won't keep getting pesky email updates.

Send & CWillie, thanks for trying to help me. I have all the comments from May on my news feed. I thought I could delete them as I do with my regular Yahoo emails. I had no success with the three little dots. All those did was give me a window that said “unfollow”.

I’ll do as I’ve read elsewhere: “Pick your battles”. I have enough to worry about rather than worry and grieve over this. Right?!

Thanks again!

Hallah - I'm not sure what you are wanting to accomplish with your news feed, I pretty much leave my news feed alone unless I get a poison pen message or one of the threads I have commented on loses my interest and/or multiple comments start to clog up my news feed.... the older stuff just drops off the bottom of the page anyway. AgingCare claims ownership of everything we say here so except in rare circumstances your comments will never disappear completely from the site.

Just noticed a long series of huge earthquakes in the South Sandwich Islands. Over a period of days, over 5+.
Largely uninhabited area.
Any EQ anywhere can get me nervous.

Saying goodnight everyone on the General Topics thread!
Not staying up to find out more. Will be needing sleep for challenges ahead.

Rest easy caregivers, in God's hands, nothing we can control.

Hallah,
Whenever you make a comment on any question, discussion, or thread, you are automatically "following" that thread.

If you make a comment, and wish to not follow that thread, scroll to the top where the OP asked a question and click unfollow immediately under the title
on the left margin.

Hallah,
Follow CWillie's instructions to DELETE.
Turn on your computer.
Login to the Aging Care Forum.
Click on your avatar, or go to your Profile.
Go to NEWS FEED. Click on News Feed.
There are 3 dots on the upper right hand of each comment, click on the dots.
Choose DELETE.

One can only go back so far in time on your News Feed to delete.

My instructions were for a different function, a different place (Settings), with the purpose of limiting what comes on to your NEWS FEED in the future.

I could be wrong, because I am not fully computer literate, depending on my husband for the serious stuff.

Send & Cwillie, I’m still not figuring out how to delete. I eliminated some Topics and clicked on the three little dots. All I got was a box with “unfollow”. If I click on that, does that delete all the threads? They go back to when I first posted in May ‘21.

Thanks for helping. I’m not too good on puters.

Hallah,
You will not get as many posts in your news feed if you decrease the number of TOPICS.

Click on your own avatar.
Click on Settings.
Go to TOPICS, and delete (click on the X) which topics you can live without.

Additionally, you can 'Stop following' posters who are prolific, annoying, or odious to you.

You will still receive unwanted posts in your news feed if you are following someone who posts on the topic you stopped following.

Look for the three dots on the upper right side of the comment or message that shows up in your news feed, you will find options there to stop following threads you have previously commented on or to delete messages.

I have a question. How do I delete all the stuff in my News Feed? I’ve looked for info but can’t find any. I thought of contacting the moderators but I had emailed them twice about something or other (I have forgotten about what now) and never heard back from them. I know someone on here will know the answer. You folks are great!

Sorry to say when it comes to threads asking advice about covid I've seen the kind of divisive comments that are much too commonly seen in social media, I hadn't realized AgingCare had the guts to step in and close any but I am glad.

Looking back at the "comparisons are odious" comments below (I agree, they are) reminded me of a lovely story I heard from a woman journalist whose baggage went missing when she arrived in an African country to cover a famine. Of course she was used to such setbacks, but on this occasion she lost a particular favourite dress and was genuinely upset about it; only in the circumstances she was ashamed to complain or make a fuss.

Knowing something was wrong, her interpreter eventually got the problem out of her and the reason why she hadn't felt able to tell. He patted her reassuringly and said "of course I understand! We have First World problems too."

As adults we should be able to have conversations which will sometimes include differences of opinions without it turning into a childish argument.

This includes discussions about covid. I've enjoyed hearing others on here discuss their experiences with the pandemic generally and how we have all fared with the vaccine (or not).

Lets keep it civil.
