I am sorry to hear that Rashida. However, at least you have "kids" and family who react in some way, shape or form; some of us have no one. Consider yourself fortunate. That being said, I do NOT believe you are a "brainless wonder". You found this site. You have the opportunity to share your experience and wisdom NOW to people who are here and read this. Some of us, like myself do not know how to deal with being plunged into aging, disease, and a world of way too much hate. Some of us, like myself, truly need and want your advice. I had a tough weekend physically and emotionally; I forgot my age, I forgot I have a blood disease, I overdid Spring Cleaning, I did NOT eat healthy, I did NOT brush what teeth I have left in my mouth, I did NOT sleep good, and I did not rest until I was plunged into pain. I did feed and brush my beloved Maine Coon, Willow, I did change the linens, I did clean the windows, and I did make the most horrible lemon pound cake I ever made in my life ! So, today, I start all over again, moving forward, and I would hope with people like you in my back pocket. IT IS people like myself who NEED and LISTEN to people like you, however YOU are the ONLY one who has the choice to share your experience and wisdom. Not, myself, not anyone.
