Nothing gets through to it. Nothing can pierce it. Nothing can affect it. Elephant skin? Our brains are the same. Nothing gets through to it. Nothing can pierce it. Nothing can affect it. Elephant brain? A defense mechanism against what?

In this case, she had dementia, but for the sake of the question, you can imagine you're experiencing real time shifts or might be starting to miss bits. To help herself identify where she was and whether the reality she was experiencing was the real "now," she stashed chess pieces in various places. She knew if she found a chess piece, she was in the present and would become grounded. If it was you, what might you try to do to ground yourself, identify which time/ reality you were in, or prove that the shifts were happening? less

I mean, you're talking to someone and all they can see in that moment is the bad stuff- the hardships, challenges, victimization, and so forth. What's the best way to respond to them in that moment?
My natural me is silly and irreverent.. I laugh and joke about almost everything.. Sadly I am not able to show that in most of of my life at the moment..

Is that thee?I bought some fancy ski clothes and went skiing THE FIRST TIME. I'm not cut out for it so. I loaned the clothes to a gal with whom I worked. She quit and didn't return them or pay me. I gave my favorite sweater ON LOAN to a friend when it was cold and she left my house to go home. I thought we'd see each other again. Never did.I've let people use dishes and pots and pans and never got them back. I have no idea why I'm even thinking about it now decades later. Sheesh. It's my fault of course so how come I'm bit**ing? I ALWAYS return what I borrow. I NEVER have kept anything that didn't belong to me. Just like going to the library and returning books that are due I never didn't NOT do that. Did you? less

It doesn't count when he lavishes praise on someone whom he then later castigates berates hammers down. So far he hasn't hammered Putin or the Saudi Royal family. Anyone else you can think of who hasn't seen the hammer side of him? He blows hot and cold as if he can't make up his mind and stick with something. Except for Putin and the Saudis. Oh of course his family too. I mean what kind of husband and father would he be if he were to turn on his own family and lie to them or cheat on them or put them in harms way by involving them in shady deals that could jeopardize their lives? less

Not a good place to shop for a president. Maybe next time we shouldn't settle for what has been rejected and labeled as "seconds"? You see what we got do you not?

What is the best description of mental midget you have ever encountered and what was the source of it? Was the source trustworthy like say The National Enquirer or faux news or the prez or one of his adoring adorable worshippers? Is mental midgetness inherited due genetics or is it a disease one catches by drinking polluted water eating polluted food inhaling polluted air and reading polluted dogmatic ideology? How many mental midgets are there in YOUR country? If you are one would you admit it or is it only always "the other" who exhibits intellectual mediocrity and never you or yours? less
