Older guys are great fun to play with. They are not all about their dicks. They give you lots of attention. And even if they don't achieve a full erection I rather like teasing out a load from a semi flaccid cock

Caretakers

[inside0ut-dotnet]

Approximately 2.4 million people 65+ in the U.S. identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). These individuals, sometimes referred to as GenSilent or the Silent Generation, face unique challenges as they age, particularly when it comes to long-term care and healthcare needs.

LGBTQ seniors often experience discrimination, financial constraints, and a lack of family support as they navigate the aging process. These factors can contribute to feelings of isolation and invisibility within the community.

Groups for LGBTQ older adults, such as www.sageusa.org, are dedicated to addressing these challenges. These programs offer connection, resources, and support to older LGBTQ individuals, helping them forge chosen families and create a sense of belonging.

SAGE (Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders) provides a wide range of services, including social activities, support groups, healthcare assistance, and advocacy efforts. These resources are designed to empower LGBTQ seniors and improve their quality of life as they age.

By participating in 'Rainbow Seniors' programs like those offered by SAGE, LGBTQ older adults can find a sense of community, access vital resources, and combat the challenges they face as they grow older. These initiatives are essential in ensuring that all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, can age with dignity and support.

Bienvenue chez Mémé Bigoudis !

Mémé Bigoudis, à l'origine, c'est ma maman ! Enfin, c'était ma maman, elle nous a quittés il y a quelques années, mais elle est toujours là, dans ma tête, dans mon cœur.

Moi ? C'est Vimavi, une quinqua nantie d’une fille ado et d’un mari plus âgé... Infirmière en EHPAD, je me suis occupée de ma maman âgée pendant plusieurs années. La vieillesse, donc, ça me connait  §

Et ça m’intéresse de voir comment c’est perçu aujourd’hui. Comment c'est vécu aussi. Pour les personnes âgées comme pour ceux qui les accompagnent. D'où ce blog, Les Chroniques de Mémé Bigoudis.

Qu'est-ce que je compte faire avec ce blog ?

Partager avec vous mon expérience d'aidante, évoquer des souvenirs, des expériences dans lesquels vous vous retrouverez peut-être.

Donner des conseils, des astuces pour gérer le quotidien quand on a la charge d'un proche âgé.

Évoquer mes inspirations, mes références, mes créations aussi, car créer peut-être un bon moyen de décharger la tension, de trouver un équilibre.

Car la vie d'aidant est souvent compliquée. Chronophage, anxiogène, solitaire aussi : d'où cette volonté d'échanger avec vous, de rompre cet isolement.

A Silent Symphony: How Trees Communicate...

Trees are more than just solitary giants. Beneath their still exterior lies a hidden world of communication, an intricate network that allows them to share information and resources with remarkable sophistication. This "language of trees" is primarily facilitated through their root systems and fungal networks known as mycorrhizae.

Trees use their roots to interact with fungi, forming symbiotic relationships where fungi supply nutrients to the trees in exchange for sugars produced through photosynthesis. This network, sometimes called the "Wood Wide Web," enables trees to send signals to one another. For instance, when a tree is attacked by pests or diseases, it can release chemical signals through the network, warning neighboring trees to bolster their defenses by producing protective compounds.

Additionally, trees can exchange resources through this network. For example, a tree in need of nutrients can receive aid from more robust neighbors, ensuring the survival of the forest community. Some studies have even suggested that older "mother trees" play a central role in nurturing younger saplings, distributing resources to support their growth.

This subterranean communication system is a testament to the cooperative nature of forest ecosystems. Far from being isolated entities, trees exemplify the strength of interconnectedness, thriving through mutual support and shared information.

Understanding this silent symphony allows us to appreciate the complexity and resilience of natural systems, emphasizing the importance of preserving these ancient networks for the health of our planet.

We indiginous folk have been listening to the unheard for many thousands of years. The vast majority of Na hullos cannot hear it. Sadly, some of our own can no longer hear the symphony. Through acculturation, they have become deaf and blind to the 'original instructions' of our Earth Mother just like the Na hullos. This makes me sad. I have no idea how it can be changed.

the amount of seething fury I harbour for how my siblings treat my grandma-

She can't take care of herself anymore. She has dementia and has fallen too many times, so that about half a year back, we got her into a senior residence. It's a good place. She has her own room which she can do with what she wants, she can go outside whenever she wants but there are always people there to keep an eye on her. Now, I've been there so many times and ya know, she might not be able to remember our conversations for long but as long as she does, she tries to interact and to help. We talk about politics, about university, and all that stuff. We have actual conversations. She's been afraid to walk on her own, so I take her on walks and make sure that we get her out of that habit of fearing walking. I make sure that she knows I'm there and that I won't let her fall. I test her memory by asking about her late husband and her kids. Now, when I'm there, I always see her having a good day. That's if I'm alone. As soon as my siblings are with me that changes? And I understand why. They don't talk to her. They genuinely treat her like she doesn't understand anything and it makes me so mad. They're also afraid to touch her and she needs a push from time to time (not a literal push but something to help her up or to help her on the toilet). When my mom and I are there together she's also good and I seriously am beginning to think hat it's BC we're the only people who don't treat her like an invalid. Sure, we adjusted but she's still that hard headed woman who argued about anything and everything. And the way my siblings treat her just makes me furious BC she isn't a baby. She can understand us, she just can't remember everything. She's still herself and treating her like anyone else will make her forget even faster.

Anyway, I am her favourite grandchild so that's something

The Truth About Growing Old

Every one of us is going to get older. However, the media does not usually portray it like it is in reality. They show how much fun it is to retire and be able to travel, etc. What I am portraying is a humorous parody on what getting older really looks and feels like. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Nurse at Mom's senior living place just called. "Corporate" told them they are not allowed to put on residents' continuous glucose monitors anymore (Dexcom, Free Libre, etc.). Only family members or other visitors can do it. Apparently it has something to do with them mostly being app-based, which conflicts with their other new rule, don't touch a resident's cell phone. They can only prick fingers for blood sugar readings (however, if they have a receiver-only set up they can read the sugar off that).

So basically me or someone else has to go up every 10 days to do Mom's Dexcom. I am so fucking pissed, and questioning what else Corporate has planned for the future management of her place.

Ce post reprend en partie celui de WickedPixxel sur son Patreon, je le traduis et l'illustre avec mes propres captures d'écran pour expliquer le fonctionnement du mod tout en rajoutant ma touche personnelle. PATCH 1.110 : LE MOD EST CASSÉ, NE LE TÉLÉCHARGEZ PAS

Senior Living par WickedPixxel

MAJ la plus récente : 20.03.2023 | Version actuelle : v1.2 Compatibilité : Jeu de base MAJ de la traduction : 28.05.2023

Ce mod vient améliorer le gameplay de nos Sims seniors ! Il s'agit d'une tranche d'âge que j'aime beaucoup et qui est largement délaissée dans le jeu, ce que je trouve bien dommage. Eh bien grâce à ce mod, on peut enfin donner un peu plus de réalisme aux personnes âgées !

Vidéo de présentation par WickedPixxel : YouTube (anglais)

Fonctionnalités :

Pour débloquer les nouvelles interactions, vous devez ajouter le trait Personne âgée à votre Sim. Il se trouve dans la catégorie Style de vie.

Cela débloquera le nouveau menu "Personne âgée" sur les autres Sims, ajoutant des interactions uniques et plutôt drôles !

Dans le menu "Soins aux personnes âgées" sur l'ordinateur, vous pouvez également prendre un rendez-vous chez le médecin si votre Sim se sent patraque ! Cela prend environ une heure et à son retour, une notification vous informera du diagnostic, et pour Louis ce sont de bonnes nouvelles ! A noter que pour l'instant il n'y a pas de multivitamine à acheter dans le menu Pharmacie, mais cela viendra sans doute dans une prochaine mise à jour.

3 pathologies sont ajoutées avec ce mod : l'arthrite, l'incontinence urinaire et la démence. Selon les pathologies dont votre Sim souffrira, de nouvelles interactions seront débloquées, et d'autres seront à l'inverse verrouillées. Par exemple dans le cas de la démence :

Vos Sims recevront donc aléatoirement des moodlets au fil du temps, et les symptômes pourront être soulagés en achetant certains objets via un ordinateur dans le menu "Soins aux personnes âgées" puis "Pharmacie".

Ces médicaments ont un certain prix, mais heureusement, acheter un journal permet de détacher des coupons pour les obtenir à prix réduit.

Ce mod apporte également une nouvelle compétence : la sagesse ! Elle s'améliore grâce aux interactions dans le menu "Sagesse" en discutant avec d'autres Sims. Composée de 5 niveaux, de nouvelles interactions sont débloquées en améliorant la compétence.

En plus de tout cela, vous pouvez embaucher un(e) aide-soignant(e) à domicile via un ordinateur. Pour ça, il faut cliquer sur "Obtenir des services d'aide à l'autonomie" pour débloquer l'interaction "Embaucher un(e) aide-soignant(e)". Une fois sur place, ce Sim restera quelques heures sur votre terrain, fera du ménage/de la cuisine et vos Sims âgés pourront lui demander de l'aide pour marcher ou pour se laver, ce qui leur donnera un boost d'énergie ou un boost d'hygiène.

Vous pouvez également construire un terrain fonctionnel avec le trait Résidence médicalisée (un terrain de type Générique convient très bien), où vos Sims pourront rencontrer d'autres personnes âgées et où un(e) aide-soignant(e) sera présent(e) en cas de besoin. Par contre, ces Sims finiront par quitter le terrain au bout de 6-8 heures environ, donc il s'agit plutôt d'un accueil de jour que d'une résidence permanente !
