Thanks for stopping by @ctrpch! You did well enough that I took a break from my commenting, went to check out your profile, and read your witness announcement post. So that's a vote for the idea that the

I'm actually pretty good at the consistency part, and the ability to stick to things. I'm okay once I get moving, but it often takes me a long time - sometimes too long - to get started.

My short-term memory has always been a bit dodgy. But I attribute that to ADHD rather than an actual memory problem. Even when I was a teenager I would drive my mom nuts because I couldn't remember the

I have to admit that I was probably born in sloth mode! When I was in my late 20s and around the time when I dropped out of the corporate rat race, I started referring to myself as a creative slacker.

I get that! This is really a very open community as far as people being able to share their stories from many many different backgrounds around the world.

Alzheimer's is a terrible thing! It doesn't really seem to run very strongly in our family, but quite a few of my older relative battled dementia in there later years. I think I'm okay for the moment

We're very grateful that we were actually home this weekend. Being a long holiday weekend there was a good chance we would have been out doing something and this could have sat here and just filled up

Part of the problem around here is mostly related to sloppy construction. They will do everything completely correctly and winter safe all the way from the street to within a couple of feet of the house.

Thank you. We do get some really beautiful views around here!

Thank you!

Which actually ends up costing more than a repair would... except nobody's in the repair business anymore.

Wow, that's some serious cold! This kind of cold in unusual here because of our typically mild maritime climate.

I'm definitely not impressed. Hopefully this glitch will work itself out!

Think I'm going to stick to aisle seats for a while! Idiocracy, here we come!

I'm planning to wait till about January 25th and then check again. If the payment is not showing still, my bank can prove that the money was withdrawn!

I also think a lot of people who start communities have no idea how much work it is to keep them active.

Ah, so you know the routine! Around here we have one SSI income, along with my home businesses, which between them really don't add up to enough to cover the cost of Modern Life. So we have to jump through

And, at the end, you'll even have a small "bonus" since 2024 is a leap year with 366 days!
