Oh Gerry, I love your post. What a wonderful attitude.

You unexpectedly made me laugh.

I was thinking about how overwhelmingly serious things were when you made me laugh.

Gosh, I admire you.

Anyway most sites that you register, you do get an activation number telling you the name of the site and all, all you have to do is open up your emails, if you forget your password or forum name you only have to enter your email address and they send out another, how easy is that ?

This is way off track to what i meant in my post, i am not picking on anyone with a bad memory that's not my style, i was saying that i have seen some of the good people here put a lot of work in their answers to help someone who has asked for help, then no reply,then say 2 weeks or 2 months down the track another post comes in off the same ignorant person and same thing happens again, no answers, no thankyou, nothing at all, that does get to me because these terrific people here are in pain themselves but give their all to try help others out but just get ignored, thankfully it does not happen often.
Just yesterday I joined a forum to get the cards for Dahlek, and discovered I was already a member.

I take it you don't have memory problems to speak of.

Else I think you would know that while writing things down is great, you still have to organize all the notes or you can't find what you need, and after a while, remembering what you took notes on is ... well, it isn't.

I'm unclear why you are so into this. Did I fail to thank you at some point?

Default Hey Karen...that is what I have always called....

A MEDICAL MOMENT?, easy to blame it on the meds, rather than the underlying condition or...well, anything? The med thing is the BEST for all social circumstances unless it's a driving or DUI issue...as in driving under meds....Then it gets squirrelly...
Just be careful out there...and all that! Ya know? - j

As for 'memory'...Did I have one of those? Can I recall where I put it? Is that near my green sweater? - DUH - you got the drift... Yep, 'medical moment'....best excuse ever for lots of well, STUFF!

And i am unclear why you choose to blame bad memory or disability for all those jerks that don't bother to acknowledge any of our members answers who have put in a lot of their energy into really trying to help that person asking the question/s, in my book that is rude/ignorant, and that's all i am on about.

Default My memory has improved on the methyl B-12

Now I'm not talking about a giant improvement here. But I have had major prolems for years with short term memory loss. I just can't keep a thought in my head for more than 10 seconds and when I call the insurance company, I have to write down my insurance number.

Well imagine my surprise when yesterday, I call up Blue Cross Blue Shield, and they said "please put in your 8 digit number, forget any letters, just the numbers, followed by the pound sign.

I looked on the wall in the opposit direction of the phone, I glanced at the numbers, I knew them, I turned around, I inputted them in the phone, pressed the pound sign, then it prompted me for birthdate and year. I did it in two seconds flat, followed by the pound sign.

I'm telling you, I haven't been this quick in ages.

So what ever the B-12 methyl is doing to my feet, it's also doing it to my brain.

Hope it continues. Want to feel like a kid again.

Bye for now.

Melody

Do you think that having my mood as Confused... that it could be coming out of the computer and making me confused.... I need that twilight zone music to play in the background as you read this....

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo Confused. I'm trying to work on this appeal brief and the part I'm at is a mishmash... I hate to admit it's a mishmash and skip over it, I think the lawyers would have a hey!day with that.

Loved your post. Made me smile.

Thanks.

Well, I'm changing my mood! Right now!

....

waiting for it...

I've changed my mood.

waiting for it...

am I feeling fine?????

Possibly so.

Hmmmm.

speaking from experience, for myself, not for them...



Hey, I'm feelin' fine!

Here's another thing (I've come back to add this)
even if the person it was written for or to doesn't say thanks, it doesn't really matter because it could be someone totally different who reads the post and it makes sense to them and hits home and makes all the difference in the world to them.

Here's a story to illustrate what I mean... years ago I used to go to Las Vegas (sometimes on a vision quest) and a slot attendant once made a telling remark. She said that she often saw people get tied to one machine. They would put in ten dollars and then when they didn't win they would feel the machine owed them and put in another hundred and still not win, and feel they were robbed.

But just a few machines away a completely different machine was paying, and so were other machines all over.

So if the person had just moved on, they would have come to one of the machines that was paying...

(I sure wish I remembered that when I get tied into things...

Maybe I can use this to escape the mishmash in my brief that was in my brief requested by the court and in my docketing statement...

I can feel myself slipping the bonds of the mishmash....

Happiness!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm free!!!!!!

Thank you Brian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen, i wish you would had said that in the beginning and i agree if anyone else benefits out the post it is a real bonus and i am really happy for them as you have probably noticed yourself, the knowledge some of our members have., is just unreal, if it wasn't for these same people i wouldn't be enjoying the good health i am fortunate to have now.

As far as pokie machines go, well, i have a friend that is a computor tech' and he told me that he once got one job working at a pokie venue and he said if anyone seen how they are programed you wouldn't go anywere near them, its only pure luck if you win, the odds are really stacked against you, you would have to be a real dill to take them seriuosly.
anyway got some thing to do, all the best
Brian
