錢先花光，還是命先沒了？：長照4個90歲老人的我，將如何面對老後生活？: : : 4360 Yahoo!ABEMA Prime 490 OK 60360 1958201620199 60
作者: 小梶沙羅 | 繪者: 中島梨絵 | 譯者: 陳嫺若
「快點離開吧……」
「我怕我會比他們先死！」
快到退休年紀的我，辭職返鄉照顧4個年齡總共360歲的老人，
這是修行還是懲罰遊戲？
「我怕我會比他們先死！」
快到退休年紀的我，辭職返鄉照顧4個年齡總共360歲的老人，
這是修行還是懲罰遊戲？
★長照時代的第一手現場實記錄！震撼日本書市！
★週刊文春、Yahoo!新聞、文春在線、ABEMA Prime 話題發燒中！
★一個日本大齡女子的搏命日常，讓人又哭又笑，給予長照者陪伴的勇氣！
▎在職場打滾多年，從來沒有應付不了的人際問題。想不到，為了長照而辭職返鄉，等著我的，竟是這種比上班還費力的殘酷現實……
自從搬回千葉縣的老家照顧爸媽，連帶姨丈姨媽也凡事依賴我處理，超出預期的殘酷現實，如同一幕幕荒謬劇天天上演，逼著我和4個90歲老人鬥智鬥勇！
失智老爸在颱風停電時，跳針式嚷著要找師傅來修理電視；嫌免治馬桶溫度太低、噴水口對不準屁眼，大發雷霆堅持要換新的──我不是爸的屁股管理員好嗎？
購物狂兼大胃王的老媽，把冰箱塞爆、吃到住院仍一天五餐加消夜；疫情期間阻止她去卡拉OK，竟反嗆我這個吃閒飯的女兒沒資格多嘴。
姨丈的車被擦撞才發現駕照過期半年，有糖尿病不治療、帳戶錢財完全沒管理，而吝嗇成性、把住家堆成垃圾屋的姨媽，永遠只會說：「我不知道。」
這算是修行嗎？還是懲罰遊戲？各種無可奈何的複雜感情，如同岩漿般從心底噴發出來……
✦✦長照顯然也是台灣面臨的嚴苛課題，「做過照護的人，在喪禮上哭不出來。」因為那是一份只靠漂亮話或親情絕對無法克服的工作。
作者小梶沙羅以輕快的筆調，描寫沉重的人生，藉以整理抒發自己的感受，並思索超老齡社會的種種威脅：陷入照護破產的解方？政府各項政策、社會保障如何調整？照護者與被照護者怎樣保持最適當的距離？
笑中帶淚看完本書後，「該如何終老」這個問題值得我們深思。
本書特色
◎ 以笑中帶淚的筆調描寫一個年近60的大齡女子，要去照護四個相加360歲老人家的辛苦和煩惱，讓讀者宛如親歷現場。
◎ 作者勇敢指出長照的現實問題：金錢和人力！不同於書市其他書籍，此作品以坦白的文字給予照顧者心理上的撫慰、陪伴，知道自己並不孤單。
◎ 文筆流暢，雖然不是快樂的遭遇，卻在作者幽默的筆調下，讓人讀到欲罷不能。
◎ 長照的現實一點都不甜蜜，也不如外人所想的只有把屎把尿。看著被照顧者，也會預先想到自己的老後生活，能如何不麻煩別人又過得好，才是最重要的事。
◎ 作者直言「這是一場看不到終點的錢和命的決鬥」，她從震驚、崩潰到無奈，誠實吐露心情的變化，毫不矯情，非常貼近人心。

Still The Best Frother Ever!
Color: Black
I love how it is easy to use, how it holds a charge, and how much power it has. I've only charged it once since I got it & I've been using it on a daily basis!!! Though it isn't a long time, I'm happy with it so far! I definitely will recommend it to anyone looking for a great frother. If you are looking for one, look no further! You won't be disappointed! I've read some comments where they found it to be too strong that their drink spilled everywhere. But for me I have not had any incident of spilling over. I have used it both for my coffee and my matcha tea and it worked great without any spilling over. You just have to start with the lowest power and ensure that you have a large enough container to have a room for your frothing. My sister tried to use it recently during her visit to make us matcha tea. However, she experienced spillage all over the cup, because she had used a small cup. Otherwise, she liked it very much and said she will get one when her battery operated one stops working...
Another thing I like about the product was the customer service that I had received. When I got my first order which came quickly, it wasn't working after having charged it over 24 hours. It was not turning on at all. I returned it and ordered a replacement which I received within a day or two. This time after charging it for the recommended amount of time, I was a bit skeptical when I turned it on. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it worked like it was supposed to and it has been working ever since having charged it only once so far. I may come back and give an update depending on how it does after 6 months of use, so keep in tune...
I don't know if there is a way to write a new entry as a follow up to the old entry, so I'm going to add my follow up comment over here.
May 23, 2025 - I love my frother more than I can say in words. It's functionality has not changed a bit from the time I have purchased it. It charge lasts several weeks to few months before I charge it again and the power is still the same. Recently I decided to buy another one for my office use. I like the white color and so tried it but that one wouldn't even turn on. And then I got a gray one to have a different color. That one was much weaker than the black one I own. Then I replaced it with another gray one within few days. I tried it and it was exactly the same as the one I already replaced. So then I decided to go with a black one again hoping that it would be the same as the one I have. The black one did much better than the gray ones in the strength or power of the frother. However, it is weaker than the one I already have been using since last August. While I am not very happy with the quality being inconsistent in all of the ones I have tried including the recent pictures of the black one, I have decided to keep the black one because it is relatively better than the gray ones I tried. What I don't understand is why there is inconsistency in the quality of the same product by the same maker. I am beginning to wonder if the black one I purchased in Augusta last year was anomaly of a quality and a good way. Maybe I lucked out on my older black frother, but I'm unsure if quality is going to get better if I were to order another one. I have a sister who is a pro in making coffee drinks and she was the reason I had ordered this frother to begin with. She uses a battery operated one at this time and I have been thinking about getting her one like mine. While I am still skeptical, I am going to give it a shot and order her one sometime soon. If it doesn't work, I guess we will return it back. But one thing that I am grateful is that I have been able to return every one of those that I have tried recently with no issues. I hope that I don't have to return my most recent purchase in black. I was not even able to review the new purchase because of the item being the same color which is crazy.

Outstanding Frother!
Color: Space Gray
Exceptional! This frother is in another league compared to the cheapo push button frothers. The motor is smooth, quiet and powerful. This has an intuitive thumb dial on top that operates smoothly with a wide range of smooth speed adjustment. It’s gentle enough to froth a little bit of milk for a macchiato and powerful enough to scramble 3 eggs. The head is removable for easy cleaning. It’s also rechargeable. I charged this the day I bought it on April first. I use it at least twice a day. It’s September 26th today and I have yet to recharge it and it’s not showing any signs of needing a charge. One minor quibble is that they give you 2 of the same frother heads. They are built so well, that I don’t imagine it ever wearing out. It would have been nice to get a whisk or something different. Not a deal breaker at all though.

Handheld Mixer/Frother Review
A Premium Choice That Transforms Morning Coffee
I am thoroughly impressed with this handheld mixer and frother. Each morning, I blend cacao and collagen powder into my coffee, and in the past, I always ended up with stubborn lumps using only a spoon or whisk. I had previously purchased a few inexpensive handheld mixers, but they disappointed me both in price and performance, struggling to mix the powders thoroughly—especially at the bottom of the cup. I came close to abandoning handheld mixers altogether, but decided to give it one last try.
After reading countless reviews and carefully comparing models, I opted to invest in a higher-end handheld mixer. The anticipation was high—would this mixer truly distinguish itself from the budget options cluttering my kitchen drawer? From the moment I unboxed it, the difference was clear. The mixer felt substantial in my hand, and the build quality reflected thoughtful engineering.
While this model cost roughly twice as much as the cheaper alternatives, it proved to be well worth the investment. Initially, I was concerned about the dial at the top, fearing it might be difficult to control. However, I was pleasantly surprised by its intuitive operation. The unit offers a solid feel, plenty of power, and a versatile range of speeds—from a gentle stir perfect for coffee to an impressively fast setting.
I had not previously considered using this mixer as a frother, but as a cappuccino enthusiast, I decided to give it a try. I heated both 2% milk and oat milk to take the chill off, then submerged the mixing wand. Allowing the mixer to rise above the milk introduced air and created a rich, creamy foam—an unbelievable result. My homemade cappuccino now tastes like something from a café.
The controls are robust, the construction is reliable, and the power is consistent. Cleanup is effortless, requiring only a quick rinse under the tap. The battery life is also noteworthy, lasting through several uses without losing strength.
If you are hesitant to spend a bit more on a quality handheld mixer, I wholeheartedly recommend making the investment. This mixer has become an essential part of my morning routine. Excellent product—well done!

Very nearly the perfect frother for all your basic frothing & mixing needs
Color: Black
There are a lot of middle-of-the-road frothers out there. I've been through a few of them in my recent search for something that could mix and froth well, without taking up any more outlets in my basement kitchen. Of the three Maestri frothers I've tried so far, this one wins the race by a nose.
Most recently, these Maestri frothers come in basically three versions: A single-speed @ 8000 RPM, a two-speed @8000/5500 RPM, and this stepless variable-speed version. Aside from that, the only real difference in recent version pack-outs is which attachments they come with.
Look over the reviews of the single-speed version and you'll find that while it can and does froth well, it starts at a single, high speed and gets there fast. This makes it pretty easy to spin liquid right out of most common cups and mugs.
There is a two-speed version, but it's harder to find, only comes in one color (Grape Purple), and while it's much better than the Maestri single-speed, it still has a couple of quirks that make this variable-speed version win out.
This mixes and froths whole milk, half-and-half, or heavy whipping cream, or just about anything else very well. Like all frothers, it takes a little time to learn its nuances and nail down the technique, this will definitely get you there.
The best feature of this is easily the speed control. Turn the knob to turn it on at a low speed that's great to get things started, then turn the knob to crank up the speed just enough to do what you need, whether that's mixing or frothing. The low starting speed makes it easy to keep things under control without undue spilling, and the max speed is more than enough to make quick work of getting your froth on.
There are really only two complaints I have with this stepless, variable speed version:
- I'd really like to have a Press On / Release Off button in addition to the Speed Control knob. More than one time have I gone to turn this off, only to spin the knob the wrong way and crank the speed up to ludicrous, sloshing liquid on the counter. Being able to turn it Off just by letting go of the button would be quick and easy. This configuration would allow using a preferred speed right from the start, while still allowing speed to be adjusted on-the-fly when needed.
- Give it a bigger battery. It would cost mere pennies to give this a 2000mAH+ instead of a 1200mAH battery, and I can't think of any reasonable downside to that.
- Give the motor a little more torque. It's fairly easy for the current motor, at any speed, to get bogged down in a thick protein powder mix, or when pressing the frother or other attachment a bit too hard into the bottom or side of the frothing container. A bit more "oomph" would prevent that.
I really like the overall design and features of thes Maestri frothers better than many other, cheaper versions. This variable-speed version is pretty great as it is and probably the one I would recommend over the single- or two-speed, for most people. But I often find myself using two hands -- one to hold it steady, and the other to turn it on and tweak the knob to the desired speed(s) -- for a device that should arguably need only one hand to use. Just a couple of minor tweaks as noted above would make this the overall best frother of its type that I've used.
