I've been that way lately. As I hit 40, I just assumed I was getting that dreaded "old timer's disease." :lol:

Practically, I figured it was due to being out of school long enough that I don't have enough "stimulation" to my gray matter on a regular basis.

I know what you mean. I've felt the same way for a long time. I'm starting to suspect that it may be related to a gluten intolerance, having read that being sensitive to gluten can present itself in that way.

I went off gluten (with a few accidental slips, since it's in all kinds of things), and my head really did feel clearer. Still, it didn't seem to coincide exactly with the diet, so I'm really not sure. I'm thinking of seeing a doctor, but my husband has already missed enough work from ferrying me around to places I'm afraid to drive to :oops: . So that'll have to wait.

It made be something to consider, though. Apparently, from what I've read recently, gluten sensitivity is common in people on the autistic spectrum, and you don't have to get stomach aches. Brain fog and depression have been listed as symptoms.

Coffee, strong and black, no sugar.

Also having goals beyond your ability. Doing things that force you to learn, anything, you are an ape, just another form of feeding.

Just how much do you really know about Fire Agates? Anything will work, just as long as it calls for new learning.

Most people take twenty years to be trained to wear clothes, eat, and go to work, where they are supervised one to three. Apes are slow to train, and need constant reinforcment.

Since you are running an ape freelance, think about it as you would if you were running another ape.

If left alone they will just sit around, get out of shape, and dumber.

It takes a plan to get any production out of them, and they are much better for being worked.

inventor as usual your post is good. i guess the answer is thinking more? i know a fair deal about fire agates and while i guess i can always learn more about them (i read on some website that it is found next to opal) wich i cant believe. hopefully though it stays a unique and rare gemstone but i would like for it to gain popularity so that the value would increase. and coffee? i love it! heres a video of me drinking it. 8)
