Thank you I'll try that on my dad's phone. He is having a terrible time with the sliding thing because he has a hand tremor.

Oh, now I understand why my 100 year old dad who has a hand tremor was having trouble turning off his alarms. My god, what a stupid thing to do! I luckily turned off auto-updates on my own phone after reading other peoples' complaints.

Though I love my children and grandchildren dearly, my main regret in life is having had them in the first place. Their futures look so grim right now.

Yes! For me it was the Bach Double Violin Concerto! Never was a professional, but I'm still practicing at age 73.

My 93 year old mother has to do this with her food because she's lost so many teeth she can't bite into things.

Huh, looking back, the years between 50 and 60 were pretty great. Now at age 73 is when I'm feeling like my body is falling apart. My dad just turned 100 and I'm really not looking forward to that. Hoping I don't make it past 90!

Back in the old days you separated them because it was standard to wash in hot water, and the dark colors might run. Can't remember when or why we decided cold water was just as good (maybe detergents improved, maybe fabric dyes improved?) and therefore separating was no longer necessary.

In my adolescence (1970) I was almost killed in an accident because I did not have my seat belt fastened.

I went to Garfield Elementary School in Medina, Ohio, in the 1950s so had an interest in James Garfield. Oddly, I don't remember having to learn about him while in school there.

I thought the writing was terrible and wasn't very impressed with the acting (I didn't know who any of the actors were, I'm an old person) But the source book, Destiny of the Republic, by Candice Millard is one of the best popular history books I've ever read!

Why he thinks he's qualified to be a U.S. Senator when his only previous government experience is sitting on the planning board of a tiny town in Maine. Had he given thought to running for a state rep position first?

Yes, the conventional wisdom for dealing with malignant narcissists is to get them out of your life. You can't win with them. That should be the lesson. The only way to win is to get Trump out of our lives, i.e. stop electing monsters.

I think it's because he never matured from the developmental stage wherein the child is unable to distinguish other people from himself. I think normally it happens around age 2.
