Hugs…

My folks just left this morning and will likely be gone a couple of weeks. Every time they head out for a week or two my mom and I both wonder if it'll be the last time they do this. :-(

I have enormous admiration for her resilience in the face of so much awful.

Will you be going to see them soon?

My friend has the patience of at least 10 saints—she just keeps trying and trying until she finally gets her point across. But, when I got there today and saw how much she was struggling to send a message with her phone in airplane mode I felt so bad for her.

Thanks. It's terribly sad. She's only 62.

Very very sad. Her mental faculties seem to be in pretty good shape but her ability to express herself is severely limited. She was doing pretty well texting but can just barely do it now. If I hold the phone for her, she does better but still struggles. When I got there today the phone was in airplane mode so was useless to her. I got it fixed before I left and helped her send a message to her brother. Argh. The Accessibility things Apple has done are nice but she really struggles with it and the more I watch her struggle the more I think she won't be able to cope with it much longer. I wonder if an iPad would work better? A bigger device creates its own problems of course since she has very limited movement with one hand and almost none with the other. Grrrr…

Of course.

Is it the thing that won't let you view content if you have AdBlock enabled? I figure the content is not worth my time whenever I stumble across such things.

This sounds like a problem I was having with a Win10 box a couple of months ago. I finally had to break down and install the OS from scratch. Bah!

But, it's so pretty! Just ask them.
