It might be the case that LiR doesn't have anything to worry about. On the other hand the test only deals with the major kinds of Alzheimers, maybe what LiR parent is experiencing is another kind, or some other disease.

Normally if a change is large enough to be noticed there is some kind of reason for it, at least in my opinion.

10 years ago, facing an emergency op, I offered my organs (should I no longer require them) to the Junior Doctor who was getting my consent to the procedure. He responded scornfully that they would not be of a good quality for transplant. I got into a negotiation, eventually persuading him my corneas might be of use.

It's your fault. You should have been run over when you were 20. Then he'd have taken your bits like a shot!

We have similar. It is bollox. But it creates confusion.
I suspect it is so certain managers can manage the things they want, whilst absolving themselves of responsibility for things they don't want, and/or phuq ups.

Taps left running? Doors unlocked and gates open risking dogs and (if one were so inclined to worry) personal security?

Horse gates have also not been secured properly(not causing any incident but potential exists) but cannot guarantee that's RP. I think it is, but cannot be sure. Obviously that's a risk of a whole different nature, a risk to other people's property, life (as with the dogs on the road) and the liability on the business would be epic.

I know people who smoke herbal cigarettes who do these type of things regularly....

Is that a euphemism?;)

Belated Happy New year to all NP's

I've just returned from Australia having been there to watch the Test matches in Melbourne and Sydney. Even the Aussies felt sorry for me! Luckily I did manage to spend a few nice days in Tasmania over the New Year. I now hold the dubious privilege of having been to five Test series 'down under' and seen nine matches, all of which we've lost. Unfortunately I had to miss the previous series due to family commitments, and (of course) that was the one we won :rotfl:

I don't think that's the cause .

But it does suggest there should need to be a cause for such things in your mind......

I had that once. It translated to be that anything I did well was passed through the strong line, so my manager took credit. Anything that was deemed risky/ potentially unpopular/ poor quality could be passed up the dotted line, so my manager could distance himself from it.

Welcome back and HNY!

Sounds like you are the reverse of the lucky pants/ keyring/ red ribbon.

That's not definitive, although it does raise concerns.

Hob left on? I've done that. DW has done that. Even the kids have done it.

Horse gates? We don't have the same opportunity, but otherwise ......

I'm not trying to poo-poo your concerns, but you do need to make allowances for normal ageing.

Multiple times in a week?

One offs, and twos I think are 'normal'. Even being in a habit of forgetting a particular thing (that is something rp does...like the cupboard doors and a few other annoying things that are annoying but not worrying).

I also know how it is to be memory impaired, albeit in. A different way and I know that's its frightening and that I took note and started checking and double checking and .....I find the lack of worry about it from rp somewhat chilling. I am sure there is fear, there is certainly defensiveness, but ......not enough to check the cooker is off.


I am however also aware that I am very frustrated and I guess that's why I have Ben sitting on this for a while. I a, quite sure it could be related to vit problem or another issue looking at those tests.

But I am increasingly minded that its not 'right'. DH also feels it, as does other parent.


Edit: also.....pretty sure I never said it was a dear mother living here.
