I always forget names and faces, that's awful. Apparently it's a decease, some people don't recognize their own mother. When people start to talk to me about my life and I don't know who they are it's not a nice feeling :)I think at 9 and even before and later I liked to tease adults and make jokes with them not always appreciated ! I would open and hold the door for disabled or elderly people of course. Not for a young man, lol !Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901846102742626587.post-32087030070287190072017-08-31T09:20:27.999+01:002017-08-31T09:20:27.999+01:00What a great way to get people to talk about thems...What a great way to get people to talk about themselves...... I'll bite!<br />1) As for falling asleep; I used to have a hard time falling asleep because I'd do all my praying at bedtime which a) would wake me up and b) would make me start thinking about all these family members and what was going on with them. I solved that by praying in the shower in the morning now. When I am sleepy I go to bed and sleep. I read a saying once that I like, it read - "Before you go to bed give all your problems to God, He will be up all night anyway." He knows what they are, I don't have to remind Him, so I just go to bed and we have our talk in the morning. <br />2) As for forgetting names; I try not to but if I do it's no big deal, I just smile alot and give the person a compliment which makes then feel good and off I go.<br />3) As for child genius; I certainly was one but no one recognized it. By age 7 I was reading medical encyclopedias, learning as much as I could about medicine because I wanted to be a doctor. I wanted to play the piano too. In my home children were not seen and not heard so my passions fell on deaf ears. I did the best I could and at age 50 became a Registered Nurse and worked in home care and Hospice (the closest I could get myself to being like a doctor). At age 65 I bought a antique upright piano; taught myself to read music, taught myself to play, and took the whole piano apart and refurbished it (will always be a work in progress) so it plays beautifully. Pretty genious if I must say so myself.<br />4) As for door holder; this has always irked me. I always say "thank you" when someone holds a door, even when it's my own husband or grandson, never mind a stranger. It's just common courtesy and many people don't have any these days. Also, one day I said to myself that I wasn't going to hold the door for anyone and see how it felt. I was walking into a pharmacy and was about 30 ft. in front of a man and his little daughter, I didn't hold the door and heard the little girl say, "another one did it to us Daddy." Boy of boy, did I feel bad for giving that little girl the impression that all people were like that when obviously they had reason to have talked about that sort of thing. I wish I had been the example of politeness and courtesy that she needed that day. So sad.<br />I do hope my lengthy comment wasn't an imposition. I never want to offend anyone. <br />Regards,<br />CarolCarol Blackburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744965568317454970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901846102742626587.post-89785604222414733222017-08-31T08:54:15.980+01:002017-08-31T08:54:15.980+01:00When I was working 58 hours a week, going to schoo...When I was working 58 hours a week, going to school every day, and driving 90 miles each day, sleep was easy. Now I sit in front of a computer most of the day, so set my own time schedule for sleep. I need very little, so short power naps seem to work for me. I've learned I can't possibly force sleep to occur.<br /><br />I hardly watch tv anymore, and seeing all the choices makes me want to disconnect even sooner. I loathe reality shows, even ones with kid geniuses (which happily haven't made it to our shores yet).Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901846102742626587.post-84857756948212259152017-08-31T07:01:55.227+01:002017-08-31T07:01:55.227+01:00Looks really interesting!

After a while I decided to give myself a break. I chatted, laughed, and walked down memory lane with them as I if knew who the heck they were. I didn't. But, we had a nice time talking to each other. <br /><br />About not being able to fall asleep right away...I'll leave that one alone or I'll be writing here all day. <br /><br />Love the post! dellgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620967832227857674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901846102742626587.post-83498671697255460312017-08-30T22:31:53.918+01:002017-08-30T22:31:53.918+01:00Hi Blogoratti :) Funny, I immediately thought of M...Hi Blogoratti :) Funny, I immediately thought of Mr Bean lol! I have a routine each night that helps me sleep. It involves massaging my dog Jack and watching him doze off...then I play a game of solitaire and usually I'm sleepy enough at that point! Alex and I have different schedules so he comes in a few hours later to put Jack to bed downstairs then he falls asleep. He's lucky...as soon as his head hits the pillow, he's out!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901846102742626587.post-32212623766488782722017-08-30T22:23:52.299+01:002017-08-30T22:23:52.299+01:00Very interesting.

Sometimes I get some really good ideas, and other times, my head is packed with nonsense. (lol) Hope your day is amazing!
