I don't have a Costco membership, but Sam's only allows 2 cards per membership. I haven't brought an actual card to Sam's Club for years. Ever since they went to Scan and Go all I bring is my phone. Which might be another option for anciana. Does Costco have an app that displays the membership? Easy to share an app login. You don't have to show your card, as you go into the store? Or do you shop online and then just pick up? Both Sam's and Costco's here, make you show your card to go inside. DD1 and I have shared a membership to both places, for years. Although she's listed as the primary card holder. I didn't even list her address, when I applied for my card. No one has ever questioned it. I would think that if your son had a picture of your card to show them, when/if he makes a return, that should work. But I don't think he could shop in the store with just a picture. I would just call on the phone and ask.

The prom is tonight, and everything is discombobulated and unknown. The school was trying to be super organized/controlling - had to get a prom packet and sign away your life about who is going with whom, who is driving, if a limo what company, etc. Only after you turned that in (weeks ago) could you buy tickets. Well, the kids keep last-minute changing plans. Somebody's mom hired a limo - are you included in the group? IDK. The girls are meeting up at T's grandparents' cottage on the lake. Where's that? IDK. What time is the prom over, so we can pick you up (assuming not in the limo)? IDK. Any paperwork? All had to be turned in. Where's your ticket? I can't find it, had it this morning at the senior video. School website has ZERO info about the prom. Googled the venue - presence FB only, no posts at all; website is a black page, under construction. Got the address for the cottage, DH drove DS5 up. Nobody there knows much, either. T's mom was just as out of the loop as we are. Asked him to call us with more info. Called once saying it ended at 10pm (my vague recollection, but DS5 had thought later). Just called again to switch plans - pick up later back at the cottage. So how useful is the school having everyone sign papers with their transportation plans, only to change all those plans willy-nilly?

We're on board the ship for one last night. Tomorrow morning we clear customs, disembark and take a fabled train ride to Oslo, where we'll stay in a hotel for 2 nights before flying home.
I wish we had just a few more nights . . .

I would just call on the phone and ask. No. If you have the app, you can use the card on there. But, I have literally never have anyone check i in all my years of going there. I just kind of wave my phone at them and they smile and tell me to have a nice day. Basically the same as they do with all the card people waving whatever card at them. I then use Scan and Go and don't even go through the check out.

Given the aunt has fallen twice and the condition of her leg they likely won't let her return home. Mister and his brother need to refuse to let her be discharged into their care. This will force the hospital to find her someplace to go. Mister can force them to do paperwork for her too by standing his ground over being her nephew. It's not his problem he signed nothing accepting responsibility. We did that with both GU and my grandma. There are still headaches but that was one problem solved. Well, what I forgot to say was that one of her friends called Brother the next morning and said she’d taken Aunt home from the hospital. She left the hospital either later that night or the next morning, against medical advice. The friend really called Brother because she was upset that Aunt peed on herself in the friend’s car. I guess she wanted Brother or Mister to pay to have her car cleaned. Not happening. Then this morning the next door neighbor called Brother, saying she wasn’t answering the phone or door again and they’d called the fire department. Brother is on his way over there again, since Mister is at work. If she keeps leaving against medical advice, how can Mister and his brother force the hospital’s hand on this? If she’s fallen again, this will be the third time in less than a month. Mister is SO disgusted with both her and his Dad. If the fire department keeps being called the state will step in here soon. While it may feel bad the best thing Mister and his brother can do is refuse to engage. Let her be taken by the fire department each time. Mister and Brother may be blood relatives BUT they aren't her kids. Unless she signed something making them responsible as her nephews they have no legal obligations to her. The hospital and other entities will argue hoping to make her their problem but they need to push back. My dad is GUs only blood relative outside my grandma. Extensive talks with legal people have established he cannot be held liable for him. Nephew is not a close enough relationship. His dad is another matter. Focus needs to be there because they are next of kin so the battle is much harder but the same applies they cannot force families into taking relatives no matter how much Saber rattling they do. Make them do it.

I may be spoiled with reading Mich and TD's adventures, but I was shocked to see that pic you put up on FB with a "last dinner onboard" caption. already?? live it up tonight, and enjoy every minute in Oslo. hopefully the weather here improves by the time you get home.

tonight, I'm about to head to the basement, once dinner is done cooking. the skies opened up and dropped about an hour ago, and LD has been losing his mind. the CBD dose I gave him was apparently too late to actually do any good. my goal for tonight, since I'm stuck downstairs with my shadow, is to actually make some progress on my resume. I just don't wanna deal with any of this! but I have a printed copy of the current revision, so I have the content I need to transfer to a more traditional format. but I just don't wanna! (did I say that already? )

I have to get my ass in gear and start getting ready for our vacation, we leave next Thursday after work and I have so much to do before then so the yard/critters are set up for a week. Not to mention I haven't even started packing (times 3...the oldest can obviously pack himself, but I won't be able to not ensure he has everything).
Tonight I shall start with my most hated task. Trimming.

I think I got my house! I was the backup offer, and the original buyer confirmed that they would be closing even though her husband is having medical issues, their present home hasn't sold (no contingency for that), and it was all-cash so coming from savings. I was so disappointed, which I expressed here. The seller's realtor called me and said the buyer is not going to go through with it. So I'm up if I can get my ducks in a row. And to help me get them in a row, he (the realtor) is coming to the house on Sunday evening to help the neighbor and me with our contract . . . without charging us a penny. When I told my realtor, she said, "I would have done that!" Well, you knew I didn't have a clue what I am doing and you didn't offer . . . I don't have a contract, earnest money, proof of funds (another cash transaction as mine is), a real estate attorney, etc. But the neighbor seems to be going through with it and offered me a few days to move since we will do both closings on the same day. I so want this to happen! Don't laugh, but I have been driving through the community twice a day looking for signs that someone is fixing theirs up to sell. And I really liked this house. It isn't perfect, but that can be fun, too. Can you tell I am in Pollyanna mode? Lol. I am a doer, and I can't pack any more until after we meet on Sunday because I don't want the house in disarray when the neighbor comes back. But I did take another load to the thrift store today and scheduled the Salvation Army to get the rest of the furniture that I am not taking or selling. If the house falls through, I will just have to make do with some of the stuff that is still here, which is plenty! Congratulations! You'll have to send us pictures.

Well, today turned out interesting. 9 people showed up with stomach distress in the med center on the ship, the old scourge norovirus (nope, Covid didn’t wipe it out). Since it is 1% of the passengers, sanitation measures get ramped up. No self serve at the buffet, and no set tables. No help yourself water, sparkling water, ice or coffee dispensers. At least they haven’t closed the public restrooms…..yet. Then we find out that Greenland is still socked in with ice, so once we leave Iceland, we bypass Greenland for Nova Scotia. 3 ports lost, 4 sea days. As a result, we are to receive a 50% voucher for this cruise. I can’t believe how upset people are at this. Cruising is ALWAYS subject to weather conditions. I can’t imagine the screaming that would ensue if something happened because of ice. TBH, I don’t need a replay of Titanic. I'd be sad about Greenland but happy to see Nova Scotia.

She wouldn’t want to anyway, because she doesn’t like people in her business, until she really needs something. Brother found what hospital she’s in and went there. She’s been telling the hospital folks that her hips are hurting and they are treating her for infection. Brother wanted to talk to the Doctor, he wasn’t available, so a nurse practitioner came to the room to talk to him. She was talking about Aunt’s hips and Brother asked about her leg. The NP was confused and asked what about it. Brother pulled the cover back so she could see Aunt’s leg, which is grossly swollen with blisters on it. Aunt got mad at Brother and started wailing “Why did you show her that”. The NP was shocked. She’d been keeping it covered so they wouldn’t see it. This must be the Twilight Zone or something. I can’t make any of this shit make sense.

You don't have to show your card, as you go into the store? Or do you shop online and then just pick up? Both Sam's and Costco's here, make you show your card to go inside. DD1 and I have shared a membership to both places, for years. Although she's listed as the primary card holder. I didn't even list her address, when I applied for my card. No one has ever questioned it. I would think that if your son had a picture of your card to show them, when/if he makes a return, that should work. But I don't think he could shop in the store with just a picture. I would just call on the phone and ask. No. If you have the app, you can use the card on there. But, I have literally never have anyone check i in all my years of going there. I just kind of wave my phone at them and they smile and tell me to have a nice day. Basically the same as they do with all the card people waving whatever card at them. I then use Scan and Go and don't even go through the check out.
There is a Costco app that stores your membership card so you can show that or the physical card at the entrance to go in. The membership card gets scanned at checkout and needs to match the name on the credit card used as payment.

I thought you had done that mich but I didn't want to speak for you. The air quality is down to orange today. My throat is sore and my voice sounds awful. Of course it's a day I have 4 meetings scheduled. I'm chugging ice water but it's not helping. Drink tea with honey, if you can. Throat Coat tea is awesome. or drink something other than water. I use both Throat Coat and Breathe Easy teas during seasons like this.

It’s not enough, I know it and feel bad there’s not another helping hand to be there for you, guys. Glad to hear Mister’s brother is helping out because it’s such a heavy burden to cary for so long.

I guess they could, Mister and his brother are her closest blood relatives now. I will talk to Mister about it. But even then, what happens if she just up and leaves the hospital again? Apparently Mister misunderstood the neighbor and they actually called the fired department last night. She was taken to a hospital last night. Brother is trying to find out which hospital she is in to go see about her. They still don’t know exactly what was wrong with her, if she’d fallen again or what. At least Brother is finally doing something to help, instead of leaving everything to Mister. He’s been looking after Dad at Dad’s house since he came back home, except for the weekend he was here, to give Brother a break. And fortunately, he went to see about Aunt today, since Mister is at work. I am so sorry for this ongoing train wreck in your lives. I hate to sound harsh but she seems to be a piece of work. She's not as overtly manipulative as Dad, but she's getting close I think. Her friend needs to quit answering those "pick me up and bring me home calls" and so does everyone else in the family. Well the peeing in the car and Mister and his brother refusing to pick up the tab for cleaning might go a long way toward that. I know this is a very practical response and it doesn't mean that I don't feel sorry for aunt but in the long run this was probably a good thing to happen.

Just called again to switch plans - pick up later back at the cottage. So how useful is the school having everyone sign papers with their transportation plans, only to change all those plans willy-nilly? Its CYA for the school. Its not intended to help parents, just limit the school district's liability if the kids do something really stupid. Good luck, it does feel though like the school had a right to be worried.

Came on here to whine about adulting being hard and saw Pink’s updates so Imma just stay quiet and wish her all the hugs. That is some next-level family drama there even without ongoing major health issues

The hospital and other entities will argue hoping to make her their problem but they need to push back. My dad is GUs only blood relative outside my grandma. Extensive talks with legal people have established he cannot be held liable for him. Nephew is not a close enough relationship. His dad is another matter. Focus needs to be there because they are next of kin so the battle is much harder but the same applies they cannot force families into taking relatives no matter how much Saber rattling they do. Make them do it. I know they have no legal obligations or financial responsibilities for her, and neither of them are signing anything taking responsibility for her. I only mentioned them being her closest blood relatives in response to the question about a family member speaking with the social worker at the hospital. And she’s not coming to live with us. She wouldn’t want to anyway, because she doesn’t like people in her business, until she really needs something. Brother found what hospital she’s in and went there. She’s been telling the hospital folks that her hips are hurting and they are treating her for infection. Brother wanted to talk to the Doctor, he wasn’t available, so a nurse practitioner came to the room to talk to him. She was talking about Aunt’s hips and Brother asked about her leg. The NP was confused and asked what about it. Brother pulled the cover back so she could see Aunt’s leg, which is grossly swollen with blisters on it. Aunt got mad at Brother and started wailing “Why did you show her that”. The NP was shocked. She’d been keeping it covered so they wouldn’t see it.This must be the Twilight Zone or something. I can’t make any of this shit make sense. She is too image conscious, and she probably thinks if she complains about certain things, the treatment will work on the leg and no one will need to see how bad it is. It does not work that way, but yes, I've seen and heard of patients doing this. Sadly, not that unusual.

Came on here to whine about adulting being hard and saw Pink’s updates so Imma just stay quiet and wish her all the hugs. That is some next-level family drama there even without ongoing major health issues No need to stay quiet. I’m not that kind of person. Your stuff is just as important to you, as mine is to me. Thank you for the hugs.

Enjoy your vacation to the max - you've earned it I wish it were that simple. They denied DH's vacation for the week. Not real clear what our plan of action is, but, that's a problem I don't have to deal with until Monday. I'm sorry. I hope you can come up with a solution that both you and DH can live with.
