15 seconds into Watching the MacGyver Intro and Inventing, reality set in.

As everybody knows, my ex wrecked her scooter, bought a Can-Am Spyder trike, and died when she wrecked it.

The lady I am dating fell on her electric scooter on Friday and I got in my white 160 HP Camry to rescue her--drive her to an emergency dentist, urgent care, and then to a pharmacy just before closing.

I helped her take care of more stuff that night and the next morning, after sleeping fitfully on my emergency bed-in-a-bag.

Once again I am looking into man-sized cots, wondering when I would ever use it.

When I drove down to visit my ex I slept on an air mattress that wasn't comfortable without a 2" mattress topper.

This is a 4" mattress topper, so if I replace it with a 2" pad and an inflatable mattress, I am invincible?! :P

Anyway, she messaged me "I have a little while to figure something out. As long as my hand can't lift the scooter up and down the stairs it's not going anywhere." I immediately started playing this:

and found this: Make.com: "Swiveling Balcony Hoist,"

However, there might as well have ben a record scratch as I immediately asked "Wait wait wait, can you ride with one hand?"

You wreck vehicle I provide you get worse replacement.
That's how it was with my ex-wife. I got her a nice 2000 Buick regal in 2006 had a little rear bumper damage was perfect from 3 sides. Had it barely 2 years. She was driving in excesses of 60mph on a dirt road and flipped it. I told her not to speed on dirt roads because here response to loss of traction is like a squirrel falling out of a tree her instinct is to do everything wrong, she was giving her loser friends a ride which I told her not to do so long as I was paying for gas and tires and she wasn't wearing her seat belt, said a dog ran out in front of her, I taught her to drive and standing orders were if a dog runs out in front of you, you hit it because you suck at driving and you will crash if you swerve to avoid it, almost made me $400,000 richer in the process. Her replacement car was buy your own for not listening times 4 at least and for not dieing and making me $400,000 richer.
Yeah we weren't married much longer after that.

My ex-was driven everywhere and never paid in a dime. But she managed to save a few thousand dollars while I was trying to keep our head above water.

My other sister's step-son wrecked his car and got sued.
My brother-in-law gave him my sister's Lexus.

I go back and forth on what the correct course of action would be if and when I develop time travel.

Should I try to save my ex and if so, how?

I have to try, right?

It just seemed like she continually felt frustrated that nothing went the way she wanted.

You might say the same of me, well, whatever, if I could go back to 2000, I would go back to 2000.

The fun thing is that my professors told me to find out why there aren't more male SLPs, I found a group of male SLPs, and I felt surprised with how many were actively trying to leave the profession, partially because they want better pay.

I just saw a post about how SLPs complain they cannot make $100,000, but she she earned that much her first year.

She was just working 50-60 hours a week.

I'm proud that I was able to teach my wife how to drive. I taught her in a standard, and I taught her how to drive in the snow.

She's never gotten a ticket and has never gotten stuck, and other than a small dent from a rock that was hard to see, she's never had any sort of accident. One day I even watched her out perform a 4WD pickup with our little 5 speed FWD Mazda 323 when driving up a steep driveway on ice and snow. The pickup had to try several times, my wife made on the first try.

What can I say? Best wife I ever had!

[Xist]

I am glad that someone picked a good wife!

"Safety not Guaranteed" was made for Xist.

As an aside, there is a culture type that continually tries to fix history, and ruins the future in the process. Those folks have been programmed to believe their inheritance was stolen, and that violence is how to get it back. They believe wealth and fortune exist only in the past, and that's where to extract it, and completely ruin the present and future in the process of attending to their time traveling mind.

Eventually they learn that prosperity was squandered to the past, and they were the ones that gave everything in exchange for nothing.

I have made far too many mistakes in my life, but more than anything the mistakes I made because I didn't have all of the information frustrate me the most--but I would totally invent an iPad with USB-C, with all of the technology required to manufacture and use them back in 2000 if I could.

Bard says the first Augmentative and Alternative Communication app came out in 2010, so giving people a voice 10 years earlier would make a huge difference for them.

I got your argumentative communication right here:

There were three, relatively independent, research areas in the 1960s and 1970s that lead to the field of augmentative and alternative communication. First was...

What do you make of the curious case of M-M-Mel Tillis?

[Xist]

He presented with dysfluency?

I didn't see that when I skimmed the page you linked.
