Dis interest is fatal in human relations and resources ... without it nothing gets done ... possibly why scroo'win around with nothing is so popular! Inclusive of all evacuated spots ...
 
Well, it is Saturday. Had a fun night at games night last night, dressed up for the first time in a long time, had a laugh or two, and tried out a new type of game playing for me: larp - live action role playing. it was different and would be interesting to see how it would work with bible story ,

HERE IS THE ROOFER ON HIS DAY OFF
 
Had a really great time at an event today. Chemguy and I got some tea and fudge. In terms of the sales markets it wasn't the best but there wasn't a repeat of companies, was quick to go through and was fairly quiet. There were 7 of us, my sister's family and her friend and baby came. The 2 little guys did a great job! My nephew was actually really excited to run from person to person taking candy and giving a big grin as a thank you. I was impressed with his treat or treating skills! The other little guy is a big foodie. He wasn't as into the trick or treating aspect but he was enjoying his treats!

This was a really nice event for it, it started late morning and went to late evening. Chemguy and I were there pretty much at the beginning, got through all the tables before the others showed up. All of us were there for about an hour, there were more kids who came after lunch but we only saw about 20 total so it was a good non-crowded event for the little guys. The Discovery Toys booth was also a fun break where the little ones tested out some toys.

Is the human body a Marvellous toy for the mine(d) to play with? Sometimes thye plae the part of pawns to the larger cast and thus the lessor power ... supporting entropy, i.e. quantum forces! Thus love and god are whimsical ... and thoughts elusively abstract in hue ... unseen? Pur' poetics ... free versus the other ...
 
Crazyheart, if a man said that about a woman in a scanty dress we would be all over it. I don't find it funny and would prefer such posts not be on wondercafe2 and at least not on room for all

In agreement with you here 100% Pinga.
 
Meh. I'm not offended. Took it as a joke in the spirit in which it was offered. Just posting a beefcake poster with a caption about "the roofer" might be different, but this is a satirical meme (both the picture and CH's comment on it).
 
On Friday Seelerman and I were asked to pick up a bowler who lives near us. His wife, who usually drives, had anotheer engagement.
Bob has Parkinsons, but much more advanced than mine and with many different symptoms. This is a disease that presents in as many different ways as there are people living with it.
So I realize that Bob is having trouble coming out his door and down his steps with his shoe bag, his cane, and his jacket. So I get out of the car and take his arm to help him in. (He is used to stepping up into their van.) Then as he is half-in, half-out Seelerman asks why he isn't wearing his coat. He couldn't get his arms through. So we get him in, fasten his seat belt, drape his coat over him, and I climb in back.
Seelerman parks as close to the door of the bowling ally as he can and come around to help me get Bob out of the car. Lift one foot for him, then the other, watch his head as he stands up, pass him his cane.
And we go in. He manages the velcro on his shoes himself, bowls on a different team than I do, but does quite well. His wife arrives in time to take him home.
He loves bowling. He loves getting out. His mind is clear. He is frustrated by his disabilities.

I don't see myself getting that way. Mine is apparently slow developing. The symptoms are different. I drive myself around town, have no trouble getting in and out of vehicles, no problem putting my coat on. (Occasionally I appreciate help with buttons or tying shoes.) I've never fallen due to Parkinsons, but I am careful. My problem are my tremor - Bob has no visible tremor although I presume he is on medication like I am. My other problem is fatigue, lack of energy, slowness. It takes me forever to do simple chores. Dusting the livingroom and polishing the furniture is a day's job for me now. Shopping is exhausting. And I have to remind myself to keep up my social and physical activities - it's so much easier to sit in the recliner.
So - I drive, I bowl, I dance, I keep house (after a fashion). I made it to a Blue Jays game last month. I'm doing OK>
 
You're so right Seeleer - we all have unique experiences when it comes to specific effects of diseases. Yesterday, I was watching an episode of The Nature of Things from CBC, called something like The Ways the Brain Heals. Pretty interesting stuff on neuroplasticity, told in a variety of personal vignettes. One featured a man with Parkinsons who works on 'intentional movement' - fascinating to see.

I heard about that program Carolla but after it was on, so I missed it. It does sound interesting.
There is something (I haven't experienced it) called Parkinson's Freeze, where the person know what he wants to do (like put his shoes on) but he just sits or stands there looking at them. Sometimes somebody can break the spell just by saying, 'are you going to put your shoes on now?' or 'pick up your cane, then stand up.' I can imagine neuroplasticity might work in a case like this. (Or in helping Bob get out of the car.)

Discoveries are being made. Treatments are improving.
 
As I have shared, I go to a games night.
I met a fellow there, who shared one week, that he was referred to the games night by a hospital clinic. since then I learned that he had a brain injury a few years ago.
Would be interesting to know if it was the social aspect, or the actual thinking of games or both that was why it was recommended.
