I took my mom to Scotland (Update Post) I posted originally about a year ago here; the tl;dr is that my mom has stage 4 lung cancer and this was her bucket list trip.

Motion-sensitive camera recommendation for mom with ALS? Anyone have an alternative to Birdsy wildlife cameras? My mom has ALS and she loves watching the wildlife in our backyard. When they work, they’re great, but the problem is they CONSTANTLY turn themselves off/disconnect and the app has the shittiest UI I’ve ever used.

If it’s not allowed do let me know and I’ll take it down 🙂 So my mom has a two seater sofa, terribly ugly, but she has some sentimental attachments to it.
