Sometime.. this month I think? I heard a thud. You know what has happened when the thud occurs.. Yes, he fell again, this time quite a lot of blood and somehow narrowly missed hitting his head on the toilet. 911 again, with neighbors gawking. I tell the hospital, please don't kick him out, because if you do we will just be on repeat. But of course, they never listen. They send the nurse over who is nice enough but then starts asking questions about why he's falling so much and the level of care. It was hard to keep my composure. I can't keep explaining enough about how many doctors he sees that all have an 'opinion' on his condition. One adds a medication, another removes it. Others don't take it seriously. Dad doesn't listen, I can't make him listen. He gets hostile and on top of everything else I'm dealing with I can't force a grown-### elderly man to do something he doesn't want to do. They asked have I considered putting him in a home or getting a full time nurse. On what planet do you think poor people can afford these things? What home? The one the hospital tried putting him into that was filthy and inhumane? The nurses they send are so useless. Within hours of them leaving, I'm having to rebandage everything. It took seven months for his last injury to heal. That new skin that had him looking like a burn patient? All destroyed again. I really have to hand it to my grandparents man.. they never expected their kids to be their sole caregivers when they got old. They had everything planned for. Something got lost in translation with the next generation I guess. . Also wills are important for most people I think. When Dad goes I *know* my siblings are going to have one heck of a fight because he refused to get one. My grandma used to tell me a story about how our family once had a lawsuit about a single piece of porcelain once someone passed.

Nope, we found him a good attorney. Managed to keep his home, his kid, and is much better off financially. If he hadn't had that representation that was familiar with the tactics being used against him, no doubt he would have lost a lot. What I'm saying is... they were a financially stable couple to begin with good jobs and a nice house - that didn't matter. It came down to her issues, greed, and unfaithfulness. Couples can have marriage, finances, a house, and kids.. and still be fundamentally unhappy and break it all.

Why is there such an emphasis on the contract of marriage as if that solves every problem vs stable and committed relationships entered into by responsible and lovingly compatible individuals? I don't dispute the author's pointing to economic and wage factors as one reason why people aren't getting married. But his title is to make men marriageable again? While having financial stability is a plus for both men and women, this does not make a man a man, or a marriageable one either. After helping our friend through a messy divorce, it certainly wasn't finances that broke the marriage that's for sure.

Yep. You could have literally screamed in my dad's face and he wouldn't have had a clue what was going on. The paramedic tried pinching somewhere to see if it would bring him around.. nothing.

Man I remember the time my dad had one of those. Acted like an absolute mental patient before he collapsed.

I wanted to try and look at some additional background on this case: when the MD Supreme Court ruled on this, it was 6-1. The dissent noted that it could ensnare a person convicted of small crimes or petty crimes because the law has been advocating for harsher sentences. Why yes, as I mentioned above the feds wanted to prevent people even convicted of minor drug crimes to lose their weapons. The ban in this case is a federal issue, not really a state one. The state followed the law. Now I have also heard that the guns in his possession were actually illegally possessed to begin with, because he like... stole them, and attempted to pawn them. I don't believe this individual has a history of being an upstanding citizen gun owner. This case had multiple issues and questions such as, should the state of MD follow the federal law? (Well, what choice do they have under the law and the appeals courts ruled as such?) Should a person that is a convicted criminal and now also caught stealing and possessing guns he shouldn't have to begin with because of that federal law, be in bigger trouble? Certainly the act of stealing the guns would have landed him in felony territory anyway and he still would have had illegal possession charges because he stole them? He argued that he was a law abiding citizen, which is also dubious. How his lawyers attempted to frame it: I understand this is being framed as a 2A issues, but man there are questions here. He's real mad about the child support thing, and he's real mad he got caught stealing guns. He was not a previous gun owner. He didn't go to a gun shop and say "I want a gun please let me fill out the background check"... nope, he just stole them for whatever purposes. I can only conclude he is not a good person or a responsible gun owner.

MD state law says that anyone convicted of a violation of common law crime which can involve prison time brings down such prohibition. These type of crimes could be something violent but could also be something such as shirking your parental responsibilities by being a longtime deadbeat. If attempts at getting child support fail in other ways, the state can use this sort of harsher conviction. Such crimes are not felonies but federal law says anyone convicted of any crime that may result in over a year of prison time should prevent possession of a gun. As the article states, if he had been convicted of even a lesser misdemeanor, it still would have triggered the federal block. Because of this prohibition he was convicted a second time of illegal possession of guns. These type of laws were designed to prevent those convicted of drug crimes or abuse from obtaining weapons. You can imagine many people might get caught up. I cannot speak to the 2A claims, but if he lives here he should know the laws here. How did he obtain the guns illegally? Why or how did he obtain them and get himself into even deeper hot water? Also deadbeats need to pay their child support to avoid getting themselves into trouble.

We had a very nice vacation and thankfully the weather was not too bad. A small rant though about men these days. I know of course not all men, but there seems to be a generation of men that are very aggressive and entitled these days. We had gone to my husband's favorite pub while in town, it was a nice night so it was packed and mainly filled with couples. Seating is always first come first serve, so we grabbed one of the remaining tables outside. My husband went back inside to place an order at the bar and chat to a friend, while I waited outside holding our table and waiting for the server. A young man with his much older, inappropriately dressed for this location, and very drunk date??? stumbles onto the sidewalk and begin having an argument with each other. She approaches another man seated at a table waiting for his date to arrive and when not given a response she wants then storms off into the bar. Her 'date' now sets his eyes on me, and begins to aggressively demand that he sit at my table because he has "some life **** to sort out", asks if I'm actually going to eat something, if I'm with someone. He's getting more angry every time I tell him that yes I'm waiting for a server and no he cannot sit with me. He starts pacing in front of me, gripping my husband's empty chair and again wants to know if I'm waiting for someone. I tell him in a firm tone that I am waiting for my husband. This immediately provokes him to start shouting that he's not interested in me anyway and several other expletives. I decide to start ignoring him because such children aren't worth my time, and I start texting my husband to hurry. Other patrons are now looking immediately concerned and thankfully my husband had arrived back at the table, which quickly scared him off. The 'date' got tossed out of the pub and they stumbled away arguing down the street. I am still so bewildered what it was all about, but sure made me uncomfortable!

Yes if you're an alcoholic. No if you're not.

I just wanted to follow up that the images shared here of the subject is not him. https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.7672466

Our 10th wedding anniversary coming up so we're off for our annual vacation. Supposedly the husband has plotted something special, so we'll see what that's about. Been absolutely exhausted these past two weeks. Between my dad always not listening to doctor instructions, my mom's crown falling out (my dentist bless him had to do emergency surgery) and also not listening to the dentist instructions, my sister's 5th COVID infection (but we are all thankfully still negative), cleaning everything, packing suitcases, and finally getting up the courage to pack the dog's things away... it's been a lot. We've had a few potential dog prospects come up, but they've been snapped up quickly. And while they are cute... I'm tearfully reminded that it's still not quite the right time, and none of them feel like the one. I mean who am I kidding? I'd adopt every single last one of them if I could... but that's not practical.

Bullying is not the answer... and it has never stopped. I think... for some of these kids their parents just aren't around, they aren't there for them. They don't know that they love them, they don't feel like they'd ever be accepted by them, and some of them really should never be exposed to shooting guns. We all remember going through some period of our lives when we felt like our parents or anyone really just couldn't understand us. I think it's getting worse now because there are lots of parents just checked out. They aren't even trying! They had kids... but don't actually want the kid. They don't want to know what they are up to. They don't want to know the messed up thoughts and feelings they might have. They don't want to learn what they do or enjoy. Kids are suffering emotionally and spiritually.

Det Sgt. Cody Becker was one of the officers that was murdered. He was honestly an amazing guy.. in 2010 he was recognized for his heroism in rescuing a family from a burning building. In his school days he was known for intercepting a pass from NFL QB Chad Henne and running it back 47 yards for a TD. As fate would have it, his catching skills came in handy the day he saved that family. The story of his heroism: https://www.ydr.com/story/news/local/2025/09/18/fallen-officer-cody-becker-lauded-as-hero-in-2010/86211813007/

Horrific violence and unstable men with guns don't just happen in big cities, but small towns too. Yesterday 5 cops were shot, 3 murdered by a 24 year old man that was stalking his ex-girlfriend and her family on their rural farm. After the family had fled, fearing for their lives, the cops went to serve a warrant and remove him from squatting on the property. They were ambushed. This was in a small town on the outskirts of York, PA and is the second time this year cops have been killed in the line of duty from this department.

As of this morning it seems like they gave up that rumored endeavor and reverted to "let's just do whatever we did in 2020...?" at least according to the USCIS's social media this morning linking to an 'exclusive' article. It claims it will just use the 2020 version of the test, with updated questions and needing 12 correct answers that was scrapped.
