There are many places across the country with staged levels of care offered. I'm in the Chicago suburbs, where based on the facility it can cost $3500-5000/mo per person for independent living (essentially your own apartment/townhome space where support services are available very quickly) $4000-10,000/mo for assisted living (someone is checking on you multiple times a day and potentially delivering meals/helping with meds) or $9000-16,000+/mo for nursing care (full care.)
The devil is in the details though. I know many facilities have different practices, but it's not uncommon for a facility to require proof that you already have 2 years worth of payments on hand before letting you move in. Also some will just let you sign over your property/home as security.
I knew a man a few years ago that had moved with his mother to an independent living where he cared for her. He was there over 30 years, having "purchased" the unit for $275,000 and paid around $3000 mo in maintenance fees. She had passed away at some point, he continued to live there. When he sustained a fall and hit his head, they moved him into the nursing unit as it appeared he would pass soon. They cleaned out his home and sold it, "securing" the proceeds to pay for his care. He ended up recovering more than anyone expected, at which point he was told he only had enough money for about 18 months of care, then he would be moved to a Medicaid room where he would have to share his room. A friend helped him find a less expensive place, but with his belongings sold he had to buy furniture. He passed alone a couple years later. Through all of this he never questioned whether or not any of this was right or wrong, just shrugged it off and accepted that this is the way things happen.
On the other hand, that was also the time where there seemed to be an increase in the online bullshittiness jumping through flaming hoops to apply for jobs that ultimately didn't exist because companies had to show that they were trying to hire so they didn't have to pay back loans, while saying people weren't taking the positions or weren't qualified so they could keep the money.
I remember at the tail end of things waiting for my order in a burger place where the owner was working because they were short staffed and he was bitching about "no one wants to work anymore" with a customer. The guy sounded like a dick, and all I could think was that either he's not paying enough or he's treating his employees like shit - that's probably why they don't want to work for him. Either way that was the first and last time I went there.
FWIW, I'm a massage therapist who works in hospice. Legally, if someone falls I'm not allowed to try to get them up because that's not an area of training for licensing/my scope of practice does not allow it. Someone working in a nursing home would be trained on safe transfers, BUT if there's a chance the patient experienced an injury or is unable to assist in getting up themselves, it really is safer for all parties to get a lift assist from the fire department. If I had a loved one that needed to stay in a rehab/nursing facility and they sustained a fall, I'd rather the extra set of eyes assess before just putting them back in bed.
From what I've heard the law is written requiring rather Protestant verbage, where 6/9 justices are Catholic. Depending on flavor of Protestant, not all even consider Catholics as Christians.
For some reason the thought of mail ordering a house from Sears has always seemed a weirdly comforting, once affordable American thing to me. Living in the western Chicago suburbs, I understand that there are several still standing in this party of the country.
That doesn't mean conscious. I'd imagine maybe a confused moment of "shouldn't that pull me up about now?" except the impact and loss of consciousness prior to the complete thought.
Thank you! For a 54yo non-tech person I'm keeping my head above water, but please don't ask me to learn a whole new something in an area that I have no skill or interest in.
Consider ultrafiltered milk. It's higher in protein and lower in sugar, and lasts much longer.
I use it to make my morning coffee and even though I use a small amount every day, I always finish it before it comes close to going bad. The only issue is that it is more expensive, but I'm also not wasting any.
The first couple times I saw the dress I saw it as white/gold. But after learning it was black/blue I stared at it and the colors seemed to shift in my brain. Now I can't see the white/gold for the life of me.
The first 2 lines the letters should be getting slightly smaller and running upwards on a slight angle. The last there an attempt to correct the same thing in the middle of the last word, leading to inconsistency in letter sizes.
I'm not talking about hanging back 5 or even 10 feet from the intersection, but sometimes 15-20. I often see people sitting back this far on their phone, so I can only guess that they feel it gives them a buffer to not pay attention to their surroundings. A few years ago I was stuck in a left turn lane with a large number of cars behind someone sitting too far back to trip the light (a T intersection where the left turn was always red unless triggered.) By the third light cycle the person in the car behind them got out, knocked on the window and had to show them where to pull up to. It's a big fat white line. It shouldn't be that complicated.
I travel through the South and West Chicago suburbs, where generally intersections are designed with a gap between the white line and the crosswalk to allow visibility.

Depression is expensive. I lost a couple crock pots that way. Finally found disposable liners!
Try having a vagina. When the fart slides to the front, you get to fart it again.
Juvenile skeksis!
This one always makes me crazy. Our stomachs work to keep an acidic environment for our protection and digestion.
Hey! Maybe I should sand off the skin on my body to get more vitamin D when I sunbathe! 🫪
Instructions unclear. Now I just don't feel like I deserve any of those things.
Correction - instructions were clear. I later realize how that's supposed to work, but still not functioning.

If you look up the ingredients for Velveeta, you'll see no water, but lots of dairy listed.

Re Fox buying Roku, it makes me want to throw up.
Demolition Man came out in 1993 and was set in 2032. We're so far away from the three seashells.

Honestly? As someone educated in the US who has spent the last couple decades recovering from that education, it's a coin toss.
