I don’t care so much about word usage right now. It’s the forgetfulness I’d like to address. I never blacked out in my life until I started taking SSRI’s. Combine those with xanax/valium, a bottle of wine, and you’ve got a scary situation. Well, scary until the 28th black out. At that point, if you’re like me, you simply say “Oh well. There goes my brains.”
My husband no longer reminds me that “we had this exact conversation last night” nor does he question the bowls of peanut butter, powdered sugar, and banana smash surprise he finds on the kitchen counter in the mornings. (Probably because he’s so thankful for the “get yer ass nekkid and in the bed” surprise from the night before that I’m just as quick to forget.) Srsly, SSRI’s and benzo’s will mess you up if you’re drinking. FYI.

S: (adj) definitive, determinate (supplying or being a final or conclusive settlement) “a definitive verdict”; “a determinate answer to the problem”

They’re probably a pretty boring lot anyway.
They should consider doing what the Balinese people do and have a Nyepi Day once a year to frighten away the evil spirits.
Or it might work to frighten away the stupid religious nuts.
Could be worth a try.
And furthermore, regarding the end of the world, my cat couldn’t give a damn either!

I did not happen May 11 as originally predicted, but will happen for sure October 21. I still watch the news, and that’s what I learned today. The best part is – the prophet was VERY DISAPPOINTED that he miscalculated. Sure, what everyone is looking forward to, and can’t wait for, is the end of the world!

Does it matter?

I think a lot of this, and it does come down to one’s age, is that our thought processes change and what was rivetingly important in our 30’s say, is of absolutely no interest in our 60’s.

I can remember my trying to get my mother to watch TV and follow the news shows and keep up to date when she was in her 60’s and 70’s and she couldn’t give a damn. My sister and I were always so proud of her because no matter what company she was in she could talk to anybody on any subject and then, gradually I guess, she lost interest and was happy in her own little world with her favourite books and pottering in the garden.
Well, I find myself now, when I am in my 60’s, in exactly the same position.

I don’t watch much news on TV although I do read about it online but, really, I am not much interested, curious yes, but I just don’t seem connected … it’s just not my business and there’s nothing I can do about it anyway.

I have come to the conclusion that this is another aspect of our lives and most of us will simply narrow our horizons to the tiny parts that are of most interest to us; family, close friends etc.

At least, that’s my theory and if nobody else likes it, well, I just don’t care!

The memory loss from my fibromyalgia and the fact I am dyslexic with numbers make me show up on entirely wrong days or weeks for appointments. Usually after the appointment.

At least I’m not the only one I suppose…
