For the record, I live in a fairly quiet bedroom community, not far from the main city. Like most such smaller cities and towns, ours has the good areas, and a few not so good areas. It's been fairly quiet for some time now, until...

Marie Coyle @grenery8 Sometimes a person just needs to share, anyway. No one needs as much sugar as the amount that is around them at Christmas.

Marie Coyle She said he was always very loving and caring...and this came on so swiftly. And yes, now he is a stranger, at least about 90% of the time.

Marie Coyle I cannot imagine how terrified she must have been. She is so sad over it all, it's not how she wanted it to end. A cure would be wonderful!!

I did post in the night when my door camera went off, and there was an older man on my porch. It was nearly 3AM, and no, I didn't open the door. I didn't recognize him...but I did call the police, as the man did not seem quite...

Marie Coyle @grenery8 He actually got even worse and is now in a care facility. He tried to kill his wife because he wanted the car keys. Poor man has completely lost it in such a short time. Alzheimer's and dementia are mean diseases.

Marie Coyle @wolfgirl569 I thought of that myself. I am sure there are many, many children terrified to go to school, especially those who have been present when there was a shooting. Breaks my heart.

When I saw this last night at the gas station, I immediately thought, "this had to be a Walmart shopper!" Too funny, right? Seriously though, who pumps gas by putting the nozzle in a funnel to go into your gas tank? What is...

Marie Coyle @porwest That's hysterical, and more than likely correct. And most of us DO have extraordinary hearing, as well as memory and observation skills. I do have to give credit here where credit is due--you have realized she has that power!
