Navigating the realities of aging parents isn't just about managing schedules, it often means stepping onto a battlefield of unexpected betrayals, financial predators, and systemic vulnerabilities.
Journalist @NancyRomm joined host @HalderAlaka for a deeply moving SuperSalon exploring the hidden shocks of caregiving, from family conflicts to hard-earned lessons on protection.
If you are caring for aging loved ones or know you will be down the road, carve out time for this eye-opening conversation.
Unpopular opinion: I do not see the big whoop about the Last Ditch bar and its troubles, many of them, yes, self-inflicted. The details getting all the yucks are the same ones we've been making fun of for a decade+. As far as schadenfreude, it's pretty thin gruel.
I went to the ER last week for a Pulmonary embolism -- which I probably got from flying. A short write op on that, and the risks.

Observation walking up Park to Grand Central: every construction worker speaks Spanish. If someone finds this irksome, they need to make these jobs attractive to non-immigrant urban dwellers (good luck) or accept that immigrants build the cities we want to live in. It’s not hard!

Couldn’t forget about the GOAT, pal. Had to get this one on the timeline today….42 years strong, and this scene? Yeah, this one lasts a lifetime...
Happy 42nd, Miami Vice. I’ll see you out there, pal. 😎🌴
Thanks to all who came to the Mean Eyed Cat last night to remember Andrew Wimsatt. It was very touching that a young Wilco deputy sheriff who helped apprehend his killer came to pay his respects.
“Robert” sees anguish as the opportunity to betray your trust, to steal your money, to backhand your humanity. He is a man who learns that someone has been murdered in cold blood and thinks, cool, cool, what’s in it for me?

Let’s do this! NYC and Austin, make sure to RSVP (links below), Dallas no RSVP necessary, just come to @interabangbooks at 6pm and expect to party like it’s 1997 (without the smokes).
"Andrew was always watching and giving while the rest of us lala’ed off to new fields." Shock and remembrance after the murder of @ajwimsatt, an unquestionably good man nancyrommelmann.substack.com…
So @andrew_wimsatt has now blocked me because I busted him. I am betting he hasn't blocked you! Please feel free to let him know how you feel about his impersonating the brother of our murdered friend @ajwimsatt in order to make a buck. Let me know how it goes!
He deleted the post. Because that's what a real brother would do. Also, post a homepage photo not of himself and Andrew but steal one from @mattwelch. Go ahead and delete the whole account, we will find the next one. You do know what Andrew's friends do for a living, right?
This is a scam account. Andrew has no brother named Robert. Whoever runs this account is looking to capitalize on the misery of others. He should be ashamed of himself but that ship sailed long long ago. Avoid. Block. Report.
