Last time I had crossed the payout mark in just one and a half month. I was so excited that I resolved to achieve it in a month. But now it seems it would be possible for me. I got too busy with my offline works and could not be...

DE @porwest I never thought about it before. I'm guessing he didn't want to need to keep giving her money on his own. I don't really know. I just remember mom saying it happened.

DE @allknowing It's like Pretty here with me. What I can't manage because I can't see, Pretty helps me with. I can still do most things myself. I don't need help showering or washing my hair, Even blind, I can still comb my hair. I can't cook because I can't see...

DE @allknowing I think you misunderstand something. What do you mean people aren't provided "minimal stuff" when pushed into a nursing home? That's what the nursing home is for, to provide meals, activities for the elderly, bathing facilities and help with...

DE @allknowing That's similar to what Pretty and I are doing now. If I need something she can't help me with, we can call on outside help. She, of course, doesn't need any help. The company that pays Pretty to help me when I can't see is the same one that...

DE @allknowing I don't know what the well-to-do in the US do. I'm not one of them and never pay attention to them. People who aren't well-to-do here opt for a nursing home because their Social Security will pay for it and Medicare will pay for their meds and any...
