Most of the crap that I bought yesterday was plushies, so I'm not certain it's "good crap". Except for the weighted Dumbo. That was totally needed. And I'm half expecting baby Rocket to get stolen.
Dad already put up most of the decorations for Christmas for my parents house already including the cups that spell Noel. Those cups according to dad came from the 1950s or earlier.
Do they numb the arm you're not allowed to use or put it in a sling? How does that all work with restricting the use of the arm (I'm assuming the left arm)?
I do not know about the numb part, but Dad already said he wants that arm in a sling because of the location of the defibrillator is going to be implanted. Dad already said he will be able to use his right arm, but not his left arm.
Good luck to him! and your mom!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks mom will need it.
My dad uses the two finger typing. I watch him and question how he gets anything done.
I liked my typing class in high school back in the day. It was a skill I improved upon, and the teacher taught us to use proper posture and foot placement. One of my dorm mates in college turned it into a lucrative side hustle. He charged 25 cents a page to type and many fellow students gave him plenty of written term papers to type nightly.
I wish your dad the best with his upcoming surgery. It sounds like the plan to decorate early is working out well. And as a side thought only, not everything has to be perfect with all the usual holiday preparations (decorating, cooking, etc.). If need be, a few random things might be trimmed back a smidge this year -- and then added back in, for the next holiday season.
I went to public high school, and many students took typing classes. Will tell you one thing -- those typewriters were indestructible! (And they didn't need constant updates, etc., such as computer systems. So I just wanted to put in a little plug here for old reliable equipment
-- while realizing that it was quite limited in scope, compared to computers.)
Good grief young lady, you make your mom sound like she was chiseling a rock to communicate. I took typing in school when manual typewriters were all there was at the time. Not to mention it is the same keyboard setup. Heck, I was in my thirties when computers still filled a room. Home computers when they did come out were a joke. Try surfing the internet with a dialup AOL connection. She, at least, probably had electric typewriters, ours were all manual, including the hand operated carriage return. IBM did come out with the "Selectric" around my senior year but if I recall we had only two and it was a fight to the finish to get to one. Either one required either a typewriter eraser or white-out to make corrections. Once you pushed down that key the letter was on the paper.
In our public school some did not go to college for various reasons and for the girls who took typing class it helped a number of them find secretarial work after graduation. I took typing class because I knew I had to learn and improve my skills of typing when I went to college and beyond. I liked the fact that the typing class I was in , was many girls and few of us boys in class. Typing actually forced me to improve my spelling of words. One thing about typing on a typewriter was if you made a mistake you had to type the whole page all over again. Current times is we are spoiled to have a backspace delete key on the keyboard.I went to public high school, and many students took typing classes.

One of the reasons why I liked typing class was because it wasn't math or science -- which I never enjoyed!
I'm just impressed your dad can ue two fingers to type. That's just showing off
I find the ads that cover the typing part frustrating also.
