This is the one i thought of too!

I don't know if it is still there, but a few years ago a government website had instructions for how to prepare for a Zombie Apocalypse for 2 reasons: If you prepared for that you would also have the supplies and plans in place that would help you survive other catastrophic events AND because...

My sons, twins, were diagnosed as having hand-eye motor coordination problems in 1st or 2nd grade. But when a family history was being done to qualify grandson for therapy the person told his Dad that he was likely high functioning autistic as well. Considering their similar behaviors and...

Even if the loved one with MH issues has been diagnosed it and being treated it can be difficult. One of my older sisters was diagnosed as schizophrenic when i was 13. She was in the Navy at the time. While she eventually was a VA outpatient on ever changing drug treatments (because she'd...

My estranged first husband died when our boys were just 3 1/2 years old. I was already one of those people who voiced my love for people pretty freely. After that i was more consciously doing it. To this day my kids (guys are 50, DD will be 42 in September) and i always part on loving words. DD...

I don't do worry either. For me it is more like having realistic concerns that i consider ways to handle. Just yesterday driving my son & grandson to the airport we were talking about there's a difference between recognizing potential issues, events and considering ways to deal-- and worrying...

May i ask how old he is, when diagnosed, what level he functions at and at what age did you first put him in a facility? Because every family's journey with neurodivergence is different. Diagnosis and treatment has changed greatly in our lifetimes. The spectrum of neurodivergence is so broad...

Thank you for letting us know, please do pass on all our well wishes for a full and hopefully speedy recovery. Hopefully the injuries won't have lingering consequences.

I'm late, but really.hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!

My first question and what i think should have been your doctors if you phrased it as 'brain fog' rather than concern because of your Mom's dementia, is-- what prescription meds are you.on? A few things routinely prescribed to seniors can cause or worsen 'brain fog' either by themselves or in...

Very happy for him, he deserves it. I agree with those mentioning talent running in your family. No doubt about that.

As i understand it, it is not that the screenings are always unnecessary---in one's 50s and 60s some are recommended. But the local clinic has offered me self test since i turned 70. Because after 70 if you're not having relevant symptoms some screenings, may actually cause more problems than...

I have a full size bed. You know those short-sided boxes that produce gets delivered to stores in? And ones that are often base for canned goods (particularly sodas) sold in bulk? i have between 12 to15 of those holding my collection of what my older sister K, who has her own collection of them...

Just like regular moles and those brown 'skin tags,' i suspect messing with them carries a risk of them morphing in some way that could be more problematic. When my daughter or i get any of this stuff where seams rub them we'd put a bandaid over them to stop the rubbing. interestingly...

I actually did about a year after we moved here to rural NM. Not as many -- about a half dozen and not as unexpected because we live rural rather than suburban. i'd set up a bird feeding station too low and a neighbor's goats saw it as a buffet. In part to protect the goats from injury or...
