much2say That is difficult. My MIL is now in memory care . . . her memory is like you describe and it's getting worse. We are fortunate that she is the sweet old lady type, but still it is all frustrating.

What it's like being an air traffic controller. What are some of the odd jobs you've considered?

The Horse @TheHorse (224348) • Walnut Creek, California 11 Mar

At one point in my life, I considered being (becoming) an air traffic controller, or whatever it's called. I have a level head, and a good sense of spatial orientation. One family member was a fighter pilot, and another was a...

much2say I couldn't do it. The technical aspect is just too much for me - the terms, the numbers, etc. - although I think I have a good spatial orientation sense. Plus it's a huge responsibility - not sure I could handle that - it's not a video game. I considered a...

Anyone here good at deciphering dreams?

Scar D. Cat @Scarred4Lyfe (704) 9 Mar

So yesterday I dreamed I chased the neighbor's dogs out of my yard (again) and back into hers and screamed at her if it happened again I'd skin them alive and nail them to her front door. Now, truth be told, I do...

Why? This Dude is Chill

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (92769) • United States 11 Mar

I remember watching him on the Ghost Adventures, Aaron. He seemed nice. Well guess his wife wanted to get him on his own show, but only as a ghost this time. I know bad joke. Did you watch the show by chance?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (92769) • United States 11 Mar

Oh my God ..no. The apartment was a perfect location, a few things wrong, but all in all was okay til I got to the kitchen. I ran out the door. Roaches, dead ones on the floor. What is wrong with these places? I mean they could...

Zillow Has the Best Platform

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (92769) • United States 10 Mar

It is so user friendly for searching for rentals. Redfin and others I have found to be clumsy and not user intuitive. Nor Realtor or Homes don't come. close.somewhat but still not good. These days though, no matter which...

much2say I haven't looked at those sites in a while . . . but I did notice much has changed on such sites from years back. Craigslist used to be "good" - I did use that all the time. But then things got snakey there - maybe even dangerous.

The Older I Get, the More Hardship Exists

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (92769) • United States 10 Mar

And the more cynical I become. People are not generally good these days, in fact, quite the opposite. And to the extreme to the point of malignancy. Which makes getting anywhere an uphill battle. Lately, I have yet to encounter...

The world went on but not for me

ShannyBananny @shaggin (74012) • United States 10 Mar

When my first husband died in 2011 after all the services and everything were done I felt like the title. I thought of him every minute of every day and felt like I was the only one. I’m sure it wasn’t true but it was a very...

Are some of us going to be messing with our clocks tomorrow morning?

The Horse @TheHorse (224348) • Walnut Creek, California 8 Mar

I think I read somewhere that Daylight Savings Time comes back where I live (California) at 2 AM tonight. I think that means 2 AM becomes 3 AM in an instant. Do you like Daylight Savings time? I could give a rat's ass about it....

much2say I can deal with it, but I don't like it. I much prefer the time change in autumn. I just have to mess with changing the time on the stove and a wall clock in the kitchen - the rest will change automatically!

Do you ever make the "thinking ahead" error in speech or writing?

The Horse @TheHorse (224348) • Walnut Creek, California 7 Mar

I do it all the time, both in speech and in writing. I will forget to say or write a word that I intended to use. Instead I will say or write the next word, or a word further along in the sentence, especially if the later word...

much2say I definitely do that when typing. I type as I think . . . but sometimes I will skip words . . . and I wouldn't notice it until I reread it. So it's not a senile thing? Phew!

Debunking an old wives' tale

Fleur @Fleura (31260) • United Kingdom 7 Mar

There is a lot of blurring between ‘traditional medicine’ and ‘old wives’ tales’ and often you just don’t know how much truth there may be in such things. Sometimes for example, use of a herbal treatment may turn out to have a...

I am starting to just hate these new smoke alarms

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41643) 6 Mar

This winter, our complex installed new smoke alarms in all the homes. Now they are hardwired as well as having a battery backup, and they are a combination smoke alarm/carbon monoxide detector as well. Sounds good, right?...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41643) 5 Mar

Update on the baby doll car owner

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41643) 3 Mar

A few days ago, I wrote a post about a car I keep seeing, the owner of it worked at a nearby grocery store. I did not know who he/she was or anything about it, but of course with a baby doll wired to the grill of the car, everyone...

much2say Ah, so it was an employee's car. Sad that he must've been a pretty troubled guy . . . it's amazing he was even able to hold a job there, or maybe this was his first "episode" there. Hope he gets the help he needs . . . he has a long road ahead.
