| Yes, thats why I must have a watch that shows day and date.
My mother was in a nursing home for a few months before she died at age 93. When the nursing home did evaluations, she didn't always know the day of the week and they always called that one of the "signs" of dementia. She didnt have dementia, but at that age why would you know, or care, what day of the week it is? |

| I retired once, now "un-retired", I forget all the time. So perhaps I should be blaming this malady on the fact that I once was retired? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The trouble with our Liberal friends...is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

So that being the case, I guess I've had dementia since I was a little kid. |

| I have been retired for 11 months. There was a day early on when the mail brought a medical bill. I had some questions and noted that the toll free number was available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM EST. I thought OK, I'll wait until Monday since it's Saturday. About 6 PM I realized it was actually Thursday. I now have a calendar (paper) on my desk next to my keyboard so I don't do that again.
Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? |

Same here but I only realize it’s Tuesday when the restaurant door won’t open. |
