On My Mind

Thanks doggiemom, I was wondering since I do have people in my life undiagnosed on the spectrum.

Also I'm an undiagnosed dyslexic. It obvious to everyone around me. So I find it interesting to get diagnosed.

I am a bit concerned about the cognitive test , when they start that. So I've wondered if it should be in my chart. Although I may be better at spelling words backwards than some, 😆

I am glad the car is gone. One less worry and the payment was so high on it. I have decided to get only used cars from now on, as in six or so years old so I can pay insurance, I will begin driving again by starting slow, driving a couple blocks.

I have my fingers crossed.

Waiting to hear if we win a bidding war on a ranch home in 55 and over to downsize .

Geez , trying to be good and plan for old age is tough in this real estate market .

Jimmy Carter looks like he should be an extra in the TV series The Walking Dead but he is still alive one year after entering hospice. It is insane.

It's what happens when you have good doctors, prestige, and money.

Which I'm glad I don't have, the poor guy needs to go 😔, I feel like they really need to let him go

My mom looked like an extra from a horror movie and nothing was keeping her here but her fear of death and her own stubborn will.

Poor Clint Eastwood would like to join the cast of that show you mention, SP, as well.
It is sad to see. That said, some of the stars who I watched as an older adult and who were just "kids" now look almost old as me, as in Jeff Daniels. Something of a comfort in that and also somewhat disconcerting. I keep looking and wondering if I should go check the mirror like the plague. If I check I may not look like Jeff Daniel's Sister, but rather STILL like his granny! Ha ha!

Lol, Alva, your right Jeff Daniels is not aging well.

Yeah I've seen pics of Clint recently, he looks tired.

It is interesting to do that. Jody Foster is my age, and doesn't get any surgery, so I look at her and then look in the mirror. Lol

I'm flying for the first time in 6 days, so that on my mind! Starting to really feel the tension, stress and some excitement!

HHF, I'm so sorry to hear this devastating news.

nacy - breathe deep. You'll be OK and you will have fun.

So I'm checking the upcoming grocery flyers on line and many of the stores are pushing BBQ season and sales on stuff like watermelons, corn on the cob, steaks and burgers and their condiments - what the heck, it's the first of May! And we live in Canada! Even here in the sunny south of Ontario it's not time for backyard parties🙄 I think our grocery executives need to get off their yachts and take a reality check.

Same in NY Willie, in a couple weeks we will be seeing, back to school supplies 😠

Nacy,
Look at how exciting it will be to go on trip.
I admit I am fearful flyer who loves traveling and I went on hundred of flights. I know it is the safest way to travel, but fear is not rational. I would never give up traveling.
Cwillie,
So true for us Canadians, my BBQ is cover with 10 cm of snow, another 10 cm predicted for today.

you’re always one decision away from a totally different life.
🌸🌸🍀🍀🌼🌼

Cwillie, in east tn my little grand-nephew (age 9) has already been swimming in the lake for 2 weekends (in 70s and 80s).. although we have snow in the forecast for tomorrow. So grilling outdoors has already started too.

Hmm.
The May long weekend is not that far away and that's always been the traditionally start to summer and BBQ season, IMO flogging things like imported corn and watermelons when most farmers haven't even been on the land yet is just exacerbating the disconnect between expectations and reality.
And Lake Huron is currently 5°C

Wow cwillie I thought, new Yorkers had it bad.

Took mom to dollar general yesterday, wanted to get her out more this week since I'm going away next week. But my trip anxiety is high and wasn't in the mood for long day out. I was assuming that sence she went to dollar general last week and spent 120$ , that it would be a quicker trip this week.
Well I need to learn to never make assumptions, 150$ later....

Moral of the story, assume nothing 😖

My version of the serenity prayer these days -

Lord give me the strength to do the things that can be done, the sense to ignore the things that can't be done, and the intelligence to know the difference
🙃🙃🙃

Golden,

Sounds like a good prayer to me.

Golden,
Love it!
will copy to my notes.
My is simple if any are fans of Frank Canstanza (sp) on Seinfeld,
Serenity Now!

I think I have strength and intelligence but sense is gone, as I know I should not overdo it and yet I do it.

You are not alone, Eva.

George C is my fave on Seinfeld,

Eva and Golden,

I am a fan of all of the Seinfeld cast.

As far as George’s character, I thought the episodes with his parents were hilarious 🤣!

I must say that I am a huge fan of Elaine.

Ratings went up when Elaine joined the show and fans missed her on the episodes that she didn’t appear on.

Elaine really did add a new dimension to the show. I love her character!

Allergy sufferers,

Have any of you noticed a difference in with allergy symptoms if you eat locally sourced honey?

My allergies are driving me crazy. I have had allergies since I was a child. In my adult years I have suffered with asthma too.

It’s hereditary. My father had horrible allergies.

Our pediatrician recommended that I breastfeed to reduce symptoms for my daughter. We adopted our oldest daughter but I gave birth to our youngest daughter.

I did breastfeed her and she didn’t suffer with allergies when she was younger, but as an adult, she has started developing allergies like me.

I am allergic to everything and I took allergy shots when I was younger. I had a severe systemic reaction to the shots and nearly died.

I wasn’t ever able to reach the maintenance stage while I was taking the shots anyway.

I do take meds but there are times when they don’t help me at all. In addition to having seasonal allergies,
I also have allergies to animals, dust mites, mold etc.

I keep my house extremely clean to ward off any triggers. I wear a mask when I clean, dust and vacuum.

Everything is in bloom now and I love going for walks. Spring and autumn are my favorite times of the year.

I make sure to take my meds when our grand dog visits. He is so lovable and hard to resist.

I would love to get another dog or cat of my own again but I know that I shouldn’t, so I haven’t caved.

Please share with me if you have seen a reduction in your symptoms from consuming locally sourced honey which is supposed to help with seasonal allergies.

Arrived in NYC for my one month stint with my parents. Not the best day at their nursing home. One of the residents was parading around in his dirty diaper and three nurses were trying to get him back into his room and he was yelling at them telling them no and then kept saying “I am alive”. Sad to witness. Not sure what will be done with this gentleman. He will probably go upstairs to the memory unit I imagine.

And my fathers roommate, a really nice man who was mobile and had his faculties is declining. He’s now in a wheelchair and doesn’t look well at all.

No changes with my parents. They are exactly how they were in March.

House flower, I'm glad your parents are doing!

Needs, I have not heard of the honey thing. But kind of makes sense, because the honey in your area are collecting pollen from the plants around you. I have friends we get honey from for years and actually don't have allergies much, but I never really had allergy issues.

Who is bestbrain1946, and why is someone pushing selling stuff?

Is that ok to do. I'm not a fan of that. Have enough sales people in life.

Does anyone else agrees?

Anxiety,

We see that from time to time. Hit the report button because they aren’t supposed to advertise anything.
