Brains of older people are slow because they know so much .

People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brains, scientists believe .

Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive gets full, so, too, do humans take longer to access information when their brains are full.

Researchers say this slowing down process is not the same as cognitive decline .

The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because we have stored more information over time.

The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more .

Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for.

It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise .

SO THERE!!

Sandy , im hanging out with 2 English Bulldogs and a **bleep**zu at my cousin's house so I am loving the roly poly picture . I slept in a little myself until 8:00 ! Must be something in the air .

I finally found some Jools yesterday . I was beginning to wonder if I would not find any this trip . We went to a flea market where I met a guy that was moving back to fine jewelry so he was willing to clear out his costume for a low price , YAY ! Nothing too fancy , but some vintage costume , which I love . Weiss , Coro , and Monet among others .

It's my Mom's birthday so we have a busy day planned . We are going to a vintage consignment today , so I'm hoping to find some more ! Just wanted to check in and wish everyone a happy day !

My good friends step daddy passed away yesterday from kidney cancer. He's been sick for awhile now, but on the whole I think he'd been doing pretty good. I think they knew this day would come, but I don't think they knew it would come quite as soon as this.

Sigh, he was a heck of a good guy and a trucker. Gonna miss him for sure!!

Still not warming up here much, but the sun is shining, so we'll take it.

I've been prety quite lately.  Had a lot going on.  Welcome my first grandhild "Katherine Elizabeth (Lizzie).  She was born Easter Sunday after 30 hrs of labor ended in an emergency C-Section.  All are well and I'm delighted!

[flipping_treasures]

What a cutie!  And a girl!  Just think of all the things you can teach her about vintage jewelry.  I hope she enjoys it as much as my Shelby does.  Glad both Lizzie and mom are doing great.  Congrats!

Sebw1959 ,
I was wondering what you had been up to . I knew we hadn't seen you on the boards for awhile . Lizzie is adorable and how sweet an Easter baby . Glad her and Mom are well . I'm so happy for you .

Good morning to all!

Just a little bit of fussing!  You know how PayPal urges us to give free shipping.  Well, I've been doing quite a bit of shopping online lately for clothes for my grandkids and something to wear to a wedding for me.  The deparment stores sure aren't giving free shipping.  Just ordered two very light weight bras from Hanes and the shipping was $8.  This is typical for everything I have ordered lately.  eBay needs to get real.  End of rant!

Sun today but expecting more rain!  Need to strew some wildflower seeds that I purchased.  The yard guys came yesterday so they won't blow them away and they may have a chance to come up before they come again.

Happy gardening to all!

Hello everyone!

Baby is too cute...glad to hear her and momma are doing well!

Yes, yes I do change into my jammies as soon as I walk in the door when I get home, I dislike 'real' clothes, lol

Visitation tonite for my friends stepdad and funeral is tomorrow...

On the other hand, I've got some good news...please allow me to introduce Bandit! He joined our happy little family last nite...

Cricket's nose is only slightly out of joint...she's not 100% sure what to think of this 'interloper' LMAO!

[1940fc]

Awwwww what cutie pies!    Babies & kitties..doesn`t get much better

Did  Bandit just show up, or did you adopt him? 

[fredi*frogi]

friend of ours, who lives in the country, had them. We took him to make sure he lived in the lap of luxary. His litter had 6 kittens, but momma's moved them a lot...and was down to 4 before we took him last nite.

he *is* a bit early to go away from momma, but figured it was safer to take him now then wait and him be gone...

[peachstategal]

What a cute kitty!

Love the baby's passie.

[fredi*frogi]

He's so stinking cute. Bandit now 'squeaks' when he hears my voice. Probly cuz I'm feeding the lil guy 🙂

We laid to rest a very very ver good man today. My BFF's stepdad. He was a truck driver, just like Clark, my first husband. The funeral and graveside services were very beautiful. He'll be missed for sure.

I came back to work and I really shouldn't have. I should have taken the whole day. I didn't think I'd be that upset. I'm better now, but it was hard for a bit.

Another one gone way to soon IMHO...
