In Pennsylvania, I recently sold an old pickup truck. I received cash on the spot and provided a receipt. The new owner asked me to go to the notary that he normally uses and sign the title at my convenience. (There was an RV parked close to it that was going to be moved within 3 or 4 days which would make it easier for the new pickup owner to load the pickup onto his tow truck) Then I should let him know when I'm done and he would stop in later to his notary to do his part.

I have never exchanged a title before without both parties present at the same time.

I should also note that I will be providing and using my power of attorney for my husband to sign the title if that matters.

The truck is in pretty bad shape and is old, I believe he is going to take parts off of it to sell and then scrap the rest.

So is there anything I should be concerned about as far as signing the title at his notary and leaving it there for the new owner to stop by and sign at a later time?

I have a pretty old RV. It's huge. I'm guessing 32 or 34 ft. It's a fifth wheel. The interior is in really good shape and everything still works and it's a four season RV with an Arctic pack so it can be used in the winter.

There was a hole in the roof that we did not know about and we haven't used it for several years so the majority of the roof is rotted. And some of the exterior walls towards the back are rotted.

Before I knew about the wall rot, I checked on having the roof rebuilt and I believe the cost I was quoted is more than what the RV is worth.

My question. How do I go about getting rid of this? I'm in Pennsylvania. Do I advertise it and see if someone wants to haul it off and rebuild it? Who would I call to come tow it away and junk it? Should I expect to pay someone to haul it away for junk or would they normally haul it away and keep the money they get from the scrap metal? I don't mean to sound ignorant or disrespectful of anyone who does this for a living, but I just have absolutely no idea what my next step should be...

So how does a pyr who is an indoor pet know when to protect?

​

For example, when camping if we encounter a bear just moseying around, how does he know to scare it away as opposed to thinking it's a playmate? If he's never seen one before, will he know?

My boy who just turned one basically physically assaults us with his nose every time we come in the door. Doesn't matter if we've been in the backyard putting up a tent, at work, shopping, or even just went upstairs to move the laundry along.

​

It feels like he needs to sniff everything that has been anywhere near us. It's not just a normal dog sniffing you--this is a full on assault. Every single inch has to be sniffed thoroughly most of the time with his cold wet nose pushed deep into your skin or clothes.

​

This is the first Pyrenees that I've raised from a puppy. My other two boys were two years old when we got them. I'm curious if this is just a quirk he has, or if it's him going through a stage of development and figuring out what is safe and what is not by the scent, or him just being nosy,.... Or maybe it's something else entirely.

​

Anybody else have similar experiences or thoughts to add?

A few days a week, I help an elderly man with PD get ready for bed. Toilet, wash up & diapered & in bed along with some general house cleaning when I have time. Been doing so for about 2 months.

​

When I started, he could lift himself to standing from bed or chair, turn to his wheelchair to sit down with guidance. Last 2 weeks, most days he can not support himself enough to lift himself to standing at all. I am basically now 90 % lifting him in a bear hug position and holding him up while he shuffles his feet half inches at a time to turn towards the toilet or wheelchair.

​

I also have no formal training. I'm aware this is not the best way to be moving him. He is still in his home and has care in the mornings from 8:00 to noon most days. His wife is not able to lift him or help him stand to get to the toilet or wheelchair.

​

I'm not very familiar with Parkinson's which is why I'm asking. I'm aware Parkinson's patients have good days and bad days. How do you know when it's time to suggest to the family that he needs to have a lift to get out of bed and onto a potty chair or a wheelchair? While I am physically able to do this, I don't feel the way that we are currently moving him is safe for him or the caregivers.

​

I should note that I am getting paid to do this, but it is more helping out an acquaintance's parents so the acquaintance can have a little bit of free time.

​

I would appreciate and I'm open to any advice.

CRAAAAAAAMPS! Thighs, calves, hands, wrists, fingers, neck, under jaw 10-15 times a day leaves me writhing in pain. PLEASE HELP ME STOP THEM!

A month ago average BP was 157/105 on lisinopril which was increased to 40 mg at my appointment.(54 yo F). My blood work was all normal then except chloride was barely above normal range (magnesium not tested). Doc said call in few weeks.

​

I reported nocturnal cramps. Doc added hydrochlorothiazide on 6/6 and ordered repeat blood work plus magnesium for next week. I have reported increasing excruciating cramps at all times of the day. Doc says reduce lisinopril to 20 mg. Average BP is now 130/93.

​

GUYS IT'S SATURDAY! I can't bear this any longer! Any muscle movement of 2-3 centimeters away from neutral can cause muscle seizure/cramps! My muscles are all aching from cramps & trying to hold a neutral position.

​

I have been drinking electrolyte drinks including magnesium for a week. Using heat. Using ice. Avoiding strain or repetitive movements. Cut lisinopril to 20 mg. As of this morning discontinued the hydrochlorothiazide.

​

Not asking for medical diagnosis and I KNOW I need to call doctor Monday morning, but I need sleep & RELIEF RIGHT NOW.

​

What else can I do?

I've been helping an elderly couple in their home 3-4 days a week for about 2 hours in the evening to clean up & get PD man ready & into the bed for the night. I started about 8 WEEKS ago.

Tonight was bad--he could barely stand, incoherent thoughts speech, hallucinating, trouble swallowing.

As always I asked if there was anything he wanted before I left. He mumbled for a bit. I have no idea what he said. I sat there and listened and watched body language to see if he was looking for something that he needed and there was no indication of that.

I'm going on a trip, so when he trailed off I said "I'll see you in a couple days." He replied with

"Ok I love you too". I'll take it!

Is it normal in Parkinson's to have several very good days and then several barely functionable days? I never know when I get to work if he will be able to stand for me to get his pants off to use the toilet or if I will have to completely support him. Most times he seems to be cognitively aware, but other times he will say things that don't make sense or hallucinate. He recently has started holding his pills in his mouth with water for several minutes before he will swallow. It seems swallowing is beginning to get difficult some days, but other days he can do it just fine. They should note that I'm not there during meal times so I'm not sure how he eats. I just take care of clean up and getting ready for bed and into bed for the night. I'm new to this and not very familiar with Parkinson's. So is this normal to be going from one extreme to the other and back again in a matter of a couple days?

This coming weekend we are going to be in the Rochester West Henrietta area and I thought a walk along the beach and maybe in the edge of the water would be nice. Not full-blown swimming of course for some reason New York seems to restrict that till after June 20th... What would be the closest place that would have a nice Beach to walk on?

My father owned life insurance policy on my brother who is a drug addict. When he passed away my mother became the owner of the policy. She had prepaid the policy for 5 years so I didn't know about the policy right away. I was the executor of my mother's estate. 5 years after her death I found out about the policy when they contacted me looking for payment to continue the policy.

At this point I had provided all the documentation and death certificates and filled out all the appropriate forms and had the policy transferred into my name and received an endorsement stating that fact.

In my mother's will she left money for my brother under my control due to him being an addict (special funds for him buthe had to ask me to access it).. I paid a couple years worth of the insurance out of that money.

When he ran out of money, I continued the policy and I'm paying it for my personal funds.

His drug damaged brain believes that I stole money from him to the tune of about $30,000. I have provided him with an accounting of everything that he received from the inheritance and everything that was spent from his inheritance, copy of the will, and all the documents from the lawyer. I believe he's desperate and wants to try to come up with money. Every time he gets desperate he starts blaming me for taking $30,000 that I didn't take. I can't make it any more plain to him than written proof that I didn't take anything. But that's a whole another story...

Now he wants a copy of the policy to review. I don't believe that I owe him a copy because he doesn't own the policy. I'm afraid if he gets a copy of the policy and the policy numbers he'll try to cancel the policy and get the cash.

So do I owe him a copy of the policy because he paid for it out of his funds for a couple years?

EDIT I failed to mention that this is not a huge policy $25k. I expect it to cover his funeral maybe some final expenses and anything remaining would be given to his 17 year old son. I don't want a penny from it.
