I keep getting email notifications from Facebook telling me that someone who's patently not thought about me in years has posted some poker thing to my wall When you're playing these games on FB, the apps can't spam your friendlist iwithout your permission, right? Does that mean it's more probably a function of not having noticed, not caring, or there's some reward for numbers?
I mean, basically, what's in it for him why he's done this three times in two weeks (I've blocked the apps and stopped FB from sending me alerts for that sort of activity).
Dementia terrifies me. I wonder how aware they are of their impairment.
At some level, very; that's why they're so upset and agitated, because they know they're missing something. But consciously, not so much. It depends on the person, the time of day, the context. It's very fluid, both how their memory is, and how conscious they are of its gaps.
Which of course makes it very hard to manage them, because you never know what they're thinking.
Also, the memory loss is the least of dementia -- it's the loss of rationality, executive function, all that stuff. Knowing what you had for breakfast doesn't matter, but thinking people are out to get you is terrifying.
With the promise of Taco Bell, which he has never had, mac has finished another book. That is 2 books in a week and a half. We are in new territory.
when did goodstuff get redesigned?
Timelies all!
Sorry that you've had so much stress over this, Consuela.
when did goodstuff get redesigned?
Couple days ago. The conversation wasn't here? Everything is mushed together in my head. I suppose tech is a perfectly appropriate place for it to happen.
Okay, naptime.
It was in tech. I don't feel overly tied to the new version, but I did want the number of notes on there, and couldn't figure out how to do it with the flowers. I think I can swap out the background image, if anyone has ideas.
ION, the Homer is eating! So that's something.
So, I was listening to This american life (the most recent episode about Minnesota and Native Americans) and it is fucking depressing.
My question is: is there any point in the history of the U.S. in which Native Americans were treated honorably? Because damn our history is fucked up. The letter from Thomas Jefferson killed me.
