Re: Re: Thank you CCT

Amanda you must always remember, you cannot help it, I looked after my Mum for a long time and I do understand, I used to dislike  the full moon it does tend to upset people more. Do try and say a few words to Sam, she has terrible migraines, but will always reply when she is well. I have a blog on Journal just about little things that  occur  in everyday life. I also pop a poem on Home a Garden because I usually post flowers but of course it is the wrong time of the year, for those.

CC is right on the shorter blogs! And if by chance you happen to post an entry you can always delete it! To do that you simply go to the write page, the same page that you go to add a new entry! Click on edit and at the bottom of the entry it will say: read this entry | edit | delete | delete a comment and you simply click delete and then it will take you to a page that asks you if you are sure you want to do that, then click yes! Welcome to Blogit! I believe you will enjoy our writing community! If you need help with anything I would be happy to give you a hand! I already like you tons because you picked humor to share with us, and for me that's a great sign that you are doing just fine in spite of it all! sam

Re: Thank you CCT

Thank you for the tips.  Sometimes it's real bad like yesterday when I was helping my daughter put groceries away and I put all the eggs in the wrong bin.  I have lived with her about 3 years now.  Anyway, I argued with her that the egg tray was on the second shelf of refrigerator.  She asked 2 other family members where the eggs were kept.  I would swear to you they were always kept on the second shelf.  I have no recollection of them being on the upper tray.  I still don't.  Thanks for stopping by.  Come again.  It was nice chatting with you.  That kind of thing is starting to happen 6-8 times a day.  I I won't be putting this any articles, but I will tell you.  I was sitting out front this summer with her and her son and she mentioned something about one of my nephews.  I stoped her a moment and asked why she said Jerry died.  I said why didn't anybody tell me?  My poor daughter was shocked I didn't remember something so important.  I was so upset, thinking he just died, I started to cry and cry.  So I live with it.  I can cover alot of it up.  I bet you can tell I'm in one of my manic moods.  I've been in one since the night before the full moon. Thanks so much for your tip. I'm like the new kid on the block, so I have to ask you how to find your blog.

Pretty good Amanda I hope that you have a very mild version. You do seem remarkably lucid . We all suffer some slow down with age, many do not notice it. I hope that you continue writing I think it does help. If you want a tip from me, don't write too much at once, spread it over several days, I think most people read short blogs more often.
