Do we lose our minds as we get older, or is it just me?

 MY partner, common-law wife, or significant other (still haven't figured out which title best fits her) has left me.

OK, take a deep breath, just temporarily to take care of a family matter, she will be back in a couple of weeks.

Since being together one of her refrains has been that I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to me.

There is a lot of truth to that because I have found that lately I have been losing or misplacing things, only to have her find them for me.

Yesterday was a perfect example, I was doing some dusting, then put the rag down somewhere, later wanted to put it in the laundry and couldn't find it ANYWHERE!

Finally did find it only after turning our apartment upside down.

SO, is this just age? Are my regulars on here who are getting "up there" finding the same problem? Or is this just me?

Seems more and more people I know around my age tell me similar stories, they just don't know where their minds are at. Not talking about those who are suffering cognitive decline, just becoming more forgetful.

Is it a biological thing? Or just an absent minded thing? I don't remember ever misplacing something this often when I was younger.

I am curious to hear if anyone else suffers from this phenomenon or has noticed this is something that happens to people as they get older, or is it that some people are just bubbleheads?

Now, excuse me, I have to get back to searching for my glasses.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
