This isn't a shocking story but it was fun. My buddy and my girlfriend were sitting at a $5 blackjack table. I went to sit in the open seat but casino staff stopped me, said the seat was reserved. At a $5 table? A few min later they usher a relaxed looking gray haired dude in a t shirt and jeans to the table. He sits down and buys fucking $10k of chips and begins to bet the max each hand. Everyone at the table was loving it. He was kinda rowdy, celebrating all the wins, rubbing his nips through his t shirt a few times to celebrate, etc. We asked him why he was there and he said most people at the high roller tables don't know how to enjoy the game.

You could apply to be guardian or you and your mom could apply to be co-guardians. Or another willing family member. Once guardianship is granted, you would make the decisions about living arrangements. In NJ there are no independent guardians and the State will only appoint a guardian generally if the person is already in a facility and is indigent. Some lawyers will appoint as guardians, but it's not typical.

He’ll find ways to get online. Today he took the car keys (he’s on the title of my parents’ car so he didn’t steal it - but he probably shouldn’t be driving)and drove to the library and got online.

He won’t listen to reason, and he’s becoming increasingly belligerent with the obstacles we’re throwing in his way to getting online. Yelling and screaming, following us around and badgering us. It interfered with my wife and I’s work today (we work from home some days) and we have a 7 year old daughter and I don’t want her exposed to this.
