Kelly Clarkson is joining The Voice as a coach next season. Seems weird, since she has that really nasally high pitched voice and that stinky twat. She needs twat cream.

For real. Having been through it, it's a real stress just for me to watch.

My grandmother had a happy ending though, as she still has all her marbles, and is an excellent driver. She is in a really nice retirement community, and has a really active life: they go to plays, little day trips, game nights, etc.
Hell, I'd live there if I could afford it.

Holy poo poo, Opera Man did a JD song parody set to "The Stars and Stripes Forever", all whooping and inarticulate yelling. It's even better then his Carmen theme.

There's a level of diminishing returns on what a retirement community can provide someone depending on where they are with their health. Ben and Ray are well into their 90s and enjoy their routines and independence, taking that away from them to try and squeeze out a few more months or years of living may not be what they want and they've well earned a choice in how they leave this world.

It's incredibly difficult all around, and the reality is that there's no "right" choice. It's all going to end in death. And what I didn't realize until I was in this position is that the parent isn't ever going to say "it's time." They're always going to think they can still get around and be pretty convincing about it, until the injuries start getting more debilitating.

Right. I was going to empty quote this, but I have to add that at some point, it doesn't matter HOW rich you are, you need to be in a hospital/hospice setting at some point.

I loved ETM saying he wasn't gullible followed by them playing the Carrie Underwood "rub your smurf cock" prank call and him doubling down on his lack of gullibility. The call lasts so long they actually run out of stuff to say to Eric and have to hang up and then Gary mentions how the bit was edited down from 15 minutes. He was such a desperate, delusional weirdo.

I like to imagine Howard's dad's funeral as a really somber affair, Howard and his sister there all mournful, Beth in veil and black dress with no back and a belly window cut-out; at some really inappropriate moment drifting in from outside the security perimeter you hear "HooowwWID! We WUV YOU! You don't need you fawthuh, it's your fans who weally wuv you! ALL I NEEEEEEEED..."

(sometimes I imagine Fred is there, and with great gravitas removes his phone from his pocket, launches a soundboard app and hits the sound of sad crows)

Just watched some of this and it's totally understandable why Ronnie is the way he is. The drivers in NYC are complete retards across the board, flitting from one dumbass move to the next just waiting for their next accident. I would snap if I had to drive in those conditions.

Don't you tell me my business again.

Bonzo posted:

Both sets of my grandparents did this and it failed. All of them were well off financially but just thought they could do it on their own.

in 1990 my grandmother developer Alzheimer's so my grandfather thought he could deal with it. Nope. He couldn't leave the house to go shopping because she was a danger to herself. He finally hired someone to come in a few days a week, which helped, but he still had to help her at night with bathing, the bathroom, etc. Eventually he ended up sick (cancer) and they went to a home.

My other grandfather fell in the garage and broke a hip and laid there for a few hours because no one could near him call for help. He died of other complications a month or so later. This left my Grandmother at home along for a few years until SHE fell and broke her hip. Then she broke the other one Then she fell again. That was enough to convince her move into assisted living.

I also had a Grand Aunt that spent the night in the bathtub after slipping and breaking her hip.

Those first few Sopranos episodes are almost too perfect in how they describe what its like to deal with moving aging parents out of the home they've lived in for decades.

Dealing with this now.

My Mom is bipolar, broke, has cancer and emphysema and was just committed to a mental hospital for suicidal ideations. I recently moved her in with me but after 6 months I am realizing her problems are beyond my capabilities to handle and I can't have her back here. I have a 6 year old and worried about his safety and mental health. I don't have a ton of money either but I imagine if I did it would go a long way towards helping with the entire inconvenience of it all if nothing else.

This post has absolutely nothing to do with Howard Stern beyond that last part. For people with health issues and the families that care for them, money is an absolutely HUGE factor in so many ways. Howard at least doesn't have to make decisions or feel extra pressures based on his financial capabilities. I mean, he doesn't HAVE to work to pay medical bills or facility and care costs.

I loved he had too much dignity to fly with balloons, but not enough to not sleep with hookers, or get catfished into posting pics of his weiner, or get caught up with pranks like the above. He was so high and mighty but when you got down to it he was a very, very stupid person. In fact, I don't think you can blame any medical issues as he was just a dumbass with the worst case of short man syndrome ever.

The show was pretty much doing what the whole of reality did. Keep in mind his own family basically gave him a headstone that was a bench. That was just cold.

He initially was too good for hookers. They tried to set him up with Tabitha Stevens a year or two before his hooker escapades and he refused, citing her "activity" (which was probably less than any hooker he was with) and because she had some work done (seriously). He was so completely delusional, he wanted a real girl with an all-natural body to love him because he thought there was nothing at all wrong with him.

I think Fratto eventually said "you're going to die a virgin unless you go get a hooker" and he relented. He clearly loved the experience which makes his insistence at turning everything else down really funny.

He loves people talking about him. When people started calling his mom he could have easily just tweeted something to diffuse the entire situation but he comes from that old school mentality that everything has to be on the air, even if it ruins his weekend.
