No maybe about it I know I’m notMaybe we’re just not the brightest( no offence intended)
That’s how I think of myself if I was very clever I would be worried
I have had hearing loss for as long as I can remember. It drove Missis T mad at times. Towards the beginning of this year I came across a piece where Hearing loss can be a major contribution towards dementia. That was the point I went and got hearing aids.Yes my mum and dad both had it.
They forgot my name regularly.
Mum told me once to “ be quiet the kids were asleep”
“ I am the kids “ I said
I was 56 yrs old then.
Horrible condition has me a little worried for my own future!
PARDON !
I play for our Seniors team. Within 15 mins of introducing ourselves we're asking our partners what the other two are called. The number of times we've all suggested name badges!Was trying to work that out myself! Having seen my Nan suffer from dementia and both my uncles with Alzheimer’s I’m confused as to how removing the names is in support of it!!
The only thing I can think of is it’s to highlight to people that don’t know much about the diseases and are trying to highlight that people sometimes blank out names and don’t recognise loved ones! It’s a long shot but it’s all I’ve got
I think sometimes we hear things and because it’s not in our circle of life we find it a bit hard to believe.
I'm impressed she knows what a Nazi is at that age.
Oh I grew up in an area so rough the coppers would avoid it at certain times of day so I can believe a lot outside of my circle. But I’m dubious of third hand stories that seeming all the stars align in.
.When my 85 yr old Mum went into a nearby care home because of dementia I started out "correcting" her recall. I soon realised I was just distressing her. I quickly learned that I had to step into her world and not pull her into mine. When she asked if her Mum was coming to see her soon I'd say "Yes, tomorrow. She missed the bus today".
That took us a while to get used the not correcting and just going with it.When my 85 yr old Mum went into a nearby care home because of dementia I started out "correcting" her recall.

She'd smile. Next visit, no recollection.
You have some really funny moments though. If I visited with wife and kids she'd show us off to everyone.
If I visited alone she'd ask "You still seeing that woman over the road from me?"
"Mum, I'm married".
"Bugger off you are!"
When you have a 12 yr brother who has always been fascinated by anything to do with war especially the Second World War, she has known about “Nazi” for years.
It’s the humour that sometimes gets you through. FIL passed away a couple of years ago. He started going for walks during the evening and we tracked him via an Apple AirTag. one day he had made his way to the house where he lived 75 years earlier. So I drove down in the car. He knocked on the door and a woman answered. He never recognised her and he told her he lived there. She had lived there for 30 years. He kinda worked it out he lived there as a boy and I said to the woman “ many thanks and what was your name”. She said “Kath”.he looked at her and said “ you’re not my wife”. His wife’s name is Kath. Both him and her looked astonished. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I know I wished at that moment she was called Susan or something.When my 85 yr old Mum went into a nearby care home because of dementia I started out "correcting" her recall.

Many years ago Mansfield Town football youth league had there benevolent cup finals at Alfreton football club. I was on the youth league Committee. One year at the finals a couple I knew well were known for letting there tribe just disappear whilst they mingled. Anyway the youngest who was four was playing on some mesh fencing which was stacked. One fell over and nigh scalped the poor little kid. Long story short they ended up suing and got a small fortune. When the solicitor informed the family how much they had “ won” the dad Commented how the money would help the family. The solicitor said The money is held in trust for the kid til he reached 18? He was gutted.Lazy parents….The circus are in the village for a few days so we took our 6 year old to see it tonight. It’s a Thursday so it’s relatively quiet with quite a few empty seats. One couple decide that their 3 kids (at a guess aged 5,7,9) can sit in a different area to them, and decide not to do anything to stop the kids jumping/swinging on the chairs infront of us and the tent poles. Didn’t think I would ever do this, but had to get up from my seat and suggest to the parents they get their kids to calm down a bit.
Felt a bit of a Scrooge, but got a thank you from the others sat next to us
All of which may or may not be true, but all of which is a complete irrelevance to the point he was making…a point that many would choose to avoid accepting the truth of what he believes he sees and hears…but hey - much easier to throw some shade on Neville with a load of ‘whatabootery’.
I promised myself that I wouldn’t get involved commenting on such stuff so with much love I’ll now desist.
Talking about bad things at work is never black and white. If you bottle things up and never discuss them, it can sometimes lead to problems later down the line. You need to make sure the person you are sharing with and getting things off your chest with understands what you are doing and doesn’t jump straight on Facebook with fantasies and conspiracy theories.Oh I grew up in an area so rough the coppers would avoid it at certain times of day so I can believe a lot outside of my circle. But I’m dubious of third hand stories that seeming all the stars align in.
I’m also concerned if your firearms daughter is telling you stuff you can’t repeat on open source forums as to whether she should be telling dad about them at home. I’ve seen alsorts in my work life and I wouldn’t be passing them on openly even to family as it doesn’t take a lot to let something slip but to each his own
It sounds more like taking the mick out of people with dementia if anything.Was trying to work that out myself! Having seen my Nan suffer from dementia and both my uncles with Alzheimer’s I’m confused as to how removing the names is in support of it!!

This 100%, my colleague's mother is a family liaison officer with a police force which i wont mention, sometimes certain cases just get too much for her, he takes her our for a meal, just him and her, and she spends the whole evening just getting stuff off her chest. He says they are often both in tears but she feels better after. He has never divulged anything she says, even though i used to ask in the beginning.
Who said anything about bottling things up
The only thing an owner can do is to top off the windscreen fluid. The BMW logo on the bonnet can be flipped open to pour screen wash.
Not in this case. Btw I meant Brake fluid top up rather than change
