    The straight laced looking girl in the glasses deadpanning "I already like it." LMAO.

    I bet Jackson's dad wishes he would have pulled out. "My dad thinks I don't like real music", no shit shithead.

  2. I just hope they keep the great writing. Under those restrictions, it might have made them be more creative. Once they are allowed to put in nudity and language, don't let it become a crutch. A well place "fuck" or "shit" can be great but not when it is a lazy tool.

    I agree, that’s the correct read on the scene; the problem is that where is there for her story to go?  A good storyteller, if they thought of her as a “favorite”, would have done more foreshadowing.  

    Well, he expected her to leave the park, on the train. He did not expect her to turn around and go on her "save the daughter" quest for an entire season. So whatever he had planned for her fell apart at that deviation from what he programmed. He even brings that up. Dolores is more of a dual creation, by first Arnold(Bernard) and then by Ford. I think Maeve was a Ford solo project. Thereby proving that without Arnold building the foundation, Maeve crumbled in upon herself.

    I don't have a soft spot for any of the Big 12. Fuck them all, but also fuck OU again.

    Don't get me wrong, I want Bama to whip MissSt and Vandy, any time they play but otherwise, I will root for them in any other games, unless it somehow hurts Bama. I will occasionally root for LSU, depending on the game in question. The rest can kiss my piss.

    aggy says you're doing the SEC thing wrong, despite your 80-year headstart

    Fuck that nonsense. I only have contempt for most other teams in the conference. I do have a little soft spot for MissSt and Vandy. I am neutral on LSU, yes they are a yearly game, they consider us a rival but they make some damned fine tailgating food and will share it with those that can get past the tigah bait chant. Fuck the rest of the SEC West and couldn't care less about the rest of the East, except fuck the Vols and I hope UK eventually breaks the streak vs UF.

    What he said. 

    If they wanted to definitely say she wasn’t a Host, they could of showed him cut open her arm or shown the Guards scan results. They did neither.  Which leaves the door open. 

    Actually, the scan would leave things open. Remember, Bernard passed through the scanner that determined human or bot. Hale and Co had no idea until they saw all of his clones. Their scanning tech may be behind the times and Ford came up with a way to fool it.

  7. They just want him to stick to 32 OZ of water per day, including liquid used to cook.

    He was not dehydrated this last time but I think it may have been from the toxins in his blood, since his kidneys were failing. This last time was right after they started the dialysis and he came out of it after about 4 hours of me talking with him, having him sip a little water. That was the way it was before they started getting so bad. So maybe they cleaned some but not all of the toxins, like ammonia, from his blood. The previous two times it took ketamine to get him out of the house and about 24 hrs for him to become lucid again. I think he is/was suffering from delirium, the more I researched online and then spoke with a retired Dr who specialized in elder care. All of his symptoms during those times fit exactly with the description for delirium, rather than dementia(which includes Alzheimer's).

  8. I have been a bit reticent to talk about this but here goes. Long story ahead.

    I moved back in with my father(now 87) last year. I am on what I hope is temporary disability. Was suffering from bouts of vertigo(those have passed) and when they were running every test in the book to try and figure out the cause, they found I was low on testosterone. Not that it was causing the issue but they started me on testosterone injections, which led to me getting a DVT in my left leg. Now I have to elevate it above my heart to get the swelling out of my left lower leg/foot. 

    I moved back in with him for two purposes, one my disability took over a year to process, so no income or insurance during that time. Secondly, he needed someone to drive him to Dr appts and such. He has congestive heart failure, his kidneys were failing(they just went kaput and he just started dialysis). I now have income and insurance through SSD(again, hopefully temporary, being stuck at home sucks ass). So I have setup physical therapy for my right shoulder(frozen shoulder) and joined the health club(with a pool) next door. I can do those while he is sitting in the dialysis chair. 

    That is not what I need help with though, which is what brings me to this thread. At times during the past year, my father has went in to bouts of dementia, varying in intensity, from ones I can eventually bring him back out of to lucidity to ones where I had to get the ambulance out to subdue him and take him to the hospital. Each time he has been dehydrated. Whether that was the cause or just a coincidence, I am not 100% sure. He had the CHF and takes diuretics, which keeps him from getting fluid on his lungs but also killed his kidneys. When he goes into one of these states, he does nonsensical stuff, repetitively. Like he took a loaf of bread, broke each piece into very small pieces and then took a spoon to mix it up, over and over. Also the last major time, we found him in his bathroom, stark naked, shaving his face with an electric razor. He went about that for an hour, with me trying to get him out of there, finally had to get the ambulance to bring some ketamine to get him to the hospital. He was fine after they gave him IV fluids. He does not show all the signs of Alzheimer's, as he remembers everyone, he just gets stuck in a loop of repetitive nonsense.

    Just wondering if anyone else here has had to deal with something similar, any tips or possible diagnoses?
