It is the cruelest. For our loved ones to be here and then suddenly not - with no way to talk to them. Just awful.

It’s been a few years since I last asked, but is there any way I can at least muffle how loud the back up beeping is on my 2022 KIA Niro PHEV? I would also love to find a dealer who could completely disable it, but that may still be illegal - right?

Is the inside lane of this roundabout a turn lane only, or is it not? I am tired of being almost side swiped by someone in the inside lane continuing on into my lane instead of making the turn. I swear I have seen a turn arrow on the pavement for that lane, but people just ignore it. It makes me think that maybe I am wrong and I am imagining it.

She passed in April 2026. Sudden and unexpected (though, she was 92). Everyday I hope that she will visit me in my dreams, but so far she hasn’t. I just want to know if she is ok. Can someone here who is psychic pray to her and ask if she will visit me in my dreams tonight? I miss her.

I’m not sure if I am getting this right, but I have an upper “spare tire” that sticks out more than my lower spare tire. And where my belly button is, is where my waist is smaller. I think that is what a b belly is.

Anyway, what is the most flattering top and bottoms for this belly shape? I’d estimate that my size is 16W to 18W depending on the clothes manufacturer.

Thank you for any advice or thoughts!

I am in the Indianapolis area. My husband and I met with a design/construction firm to discuss an addition on our house. Just a one bedroom addition, with a bathroom being installed in an existing room next to it. $168,000 to $200,000. Seriously? Our house is barely worth that much. Holy s—t balls. It is cost prohibitive and ridiculous. But I guess that’s where we are in the U.S.A. right now. Am I right?

I will keep searching.

Please and thank you 🙏

My 82 year-old father was ill and had to have heart surgery in 2012. It was touch and go and he almost didn’t make it through the surgery. It was a tense and upsetting few weeks.

About two weeks after his surgery, I woke up for the first time in weeks feeling very positive that everything was going to be ok (the night before my sister messaged me and said that he was sitting up and seemed more “with it”). So, I had a great morning the next day. Turns out, my father had took a turn for the worse that morning - all while I was feeling peaceful and that everything will be ok - and he was actually actively dying during this time.

Fast forward to April 2026, my mother had been in assisted living for about 8 months and had quite a few health issues but seemed to be stabilizing. I was worried sick for months, but I finally had a great weekend where i felt positive and felt everything was going to be ok. The only thing was that i wanted to message her (we used facebook messaging every day), but couldn’t think if anything to say. I kept feeling like it was starting to feel urgent that I message her but i just never did. Two days later she died suddenly.

Is it an empath thing to start to feel more relaxed about things before a death? I almost feel like I was being prepared (but by whom?) for a shock or something - or I sort of feel that they were close to transitioning and that is why “things would be ok” - because they were going back “home”?

I hope this all makes sense. I am not sure if I am conveying what I mean, so sorry. Basically, could I have been sensing something was up?

I searched through previous posts and didn’t find anything like what I am going through.

I am approximately nine months out from surgery for a bimalleor fracture with foot dislocation. I have two plates and nine screws in my ankle.

I have been out of the boot and walking for a few months now; in the last couple of months my knee will suddenly “seize up” and refuses to bend and it is painful (this is the knee on the same side as my broken ankle). I told my surgeon and he felt around and said he didn’t feel anything out of place. He looked at an xray taken last July (when i had my fall and them surgery) and didn’t see any indication of arthritis or anything. He told me that if it keeps on, to let him know.

I am really curious if this has happened to anyone else. The pain/stiffness eventually goes away and it’s only occasionally; adding to the mystery!
