Frameo has a really easy app for their frames -- you just take a picture on your phone and upload it to the app, the app downloads it to their frame. I preloaded my mother's frame with a bunch of pictures of the whole family and her nieces/nephews.
I really don't know how to interpret this since the responses were laughing emojis. If it was sarcastic I'm not sure why. Tone is sometimes hard to read so I'm giving the benefit of the doubt.
I think it was a very genuine compliment.
We bought both the moms a Skylight frame-it’s great because you just email the pics to an email address you set up with the frame so no app download needed.
It very much might have been. Tone is so hard to read some times. Plus I'm exhausted since my dad's last medical issue so I may be entirely over sensitive. I'm legitimately sorry if I misread a comment.
I believe the laughing emojis were directed toward the bidet party comment.
Yes, yes it was. I bet almost every older person wishes they had someone that could come over even an hour or two every week to do some household thing. Our DS and family comes over almost every Sunday. Those are the days I'll say, " can you bring this chair upstairs , can you take this case of water to the basement, etc."
So true, a few months ago, middle of the night, one of our 7 smoke detectors starting beeping. After finding which is was, climbing the three steps on a step stool, I thought "what would DH do, he can't climb a ladder". I bet he would use the "take broom and whack away" method.I agree. in fact a non profit group I was involved with actually figured this out when they had a fund raising event/auction and the most activly bid on items were a set number of hours of 'man power' that one of the local fraternal organizations donated. the donors thought that they would be called upon to do 'heavy lifting' kinds of things like yard work, dump hauls and such when in reality the older folks who won these auction hours just wanted simple tasks like you speak of done or some light furniture rearranging, a fridge moved so they could clean behind it or batteries in a ceiling smoke alarm replaced, bulbs in a ceiling fan...it really opened the eyes of the donors to a whole new aspect of service they could offer free of charge to members of their community
My SIL got my inlaws a Aura version of this last year and I admit it is pretty awesome. All the adult kids, plus my inlaws, have the app on their phones to share photos. Seems like some share more than others, but it's definitely user friendly.
That was my error. The get social security not SSI. It's their only income.it's tricky with folks who receive SSI and other certain types of assistance. gifts of cash and gift cards that can be used to purchase food or shelter are supposed to be reported by the recipient and count dollar for dollar against their monthly amount (so $100 cash or gift card reduces another month's benefit by $100) and if they have resources close to the $2000 maximum and don't use the entire amount of cash/gift card in the month received and it takes them over that $2000 limit they can become entirely ineligible. when I worked for dshs I had several clients get caught up with this (and social security gets esp. harsh if they find people are not forthcoming in reporting these gifts). your lawn service gift was perfect b/c it would not have been reportable nor countable. I hated it when a well meaning relative would gift one of my clients monetarily and it ended up a wash with their benefit reduction,
I'm so sorry I took it wrong. It was a rough day with my dad yesterday and I guess I'm a little prickly. I appreciate you saying that. It's just been a tough week. Again, apologies for making assumptions!
Don’t think on it again. Sometimes our brains just get overwhelmed.
Pants are important! LOL.
That was fairly thoughtless of them to phrase it that way, it wasn't a stupid idea, it was something you thought would be helpful to them. That said I think sometimes these acts of service have to be run by the intended recipients.
