My grandpa has Alzheimer's and he is constantly hearing, seeing and smelling things that we don't. He actually has a "friend" now that he takes care of. He leaves a plate of food out for him, he asks if he's tired and he laughs with him. It is all so very interesting what the brain can do.

My Grandma also had Alzheimer's (I'm sorry by the way, it is such a devastating disease) and when she got to the point of being non-verbal but somehow made a friend with another non-verbal female Alzheimer's patient.  They only wanted to be near each other and would have incoherent babble conversations.  

Thanks. He's doing pretty good all things considered. That's interesting about your Grandma and her friend. At least they have each other.

I have always had a huge fascination with Pompeii, Egypt, the Titanic and the 20's/40's/50's. Whenever I research the subjects, I feel such a strong connection. DH & I are always saying and joking that I just don't fit into this generation. I would not be surprised if I found out I had a place in any of those times/places in a past life.

Did you know Pompeii was a den for crazy sexual activities?  

I had no idea until I watched a documentary on Discovery/NatGeo.  

ETA:  Like, such a den that they discovered phallic signs EVERYWHERE in the city. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_art_in_Pompeii_and_Herculaneum  They discovered one room with such graphic frescoes that they locked it off and wouldn't allow people to see it...until recently.

Ooooh yeah, the people of Pompeii were extremely sexual. The city was actually discovered much earlier than originally thought. The explorers started to excavate but came across a bathhouse with such sexually explicit frescoes that they stopped digging and refused to tell anyone. They were an extremely Christian group and were so offended that they didn't want anyone else to know of it's existence.

I'm so glad so many can relate, I knew I wasn't the only one. My mom always told me I had old soul and since a little girls she said i was always wiser beyond my years. I think the mid1950's is the era I always have in my head. Maybe because that's usually the era in movies 1950-1960s.

Sorry, busy, busy day yesterday. I often wonder if I had a past life during the Revolutionary War. I've always been drawn to that time period. I used to love reading books about people from that era. I loved going to Williamsburg when I was little. The way of life seems so familiar.

I also love the 20's and 30's. I think that may be because my grandmother was born in 1916, and told us a lot of stories about her childhood and yound adult life as we were growing up.
