A cute little story about my 7 year old and the Dr. Oz show.
Comments (53)Polly, enjoyed your story about your adorable 7 year old. That will be a memory you can cherish forever! I must admit I too thought the "she" who went to the show was your daughter, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment of your story. And when posters questioned the lack of a permission slip to go on a trip, I didn't pay too much attention. But then...OMG, the attacks. Totally out of line. Asking for clarification is okay, attacking the OP is not. I will admit I'm more of a general idea person, and as someone pointed out, decorators are more detail oriented. I got the general idea: this was a cherished moment with your daughter and you were amazed at her intellect, which you should be. (BTW, I think you have a creative, high level thinker on your hands, so make sure you are stashing the cash for her college education!) I just don't get the need to attack you because of the way you constructed the sentence containing the pronoun "she". Yes, detailed oriented folks find that irritating, but I just wish posters would have responded in the spirit in which the thread was begun. When you wrote it, you knew what you meant, and were not spending hours editing it for perfection. Most of us would have written it the same way you did. Polly, give your daughter a hug for me, and tell her that someone out there in cyberworld thinks she is a great kid now and has a fantastic future ahead of her. You must be so proud of her!...See MoreLost a word this morning
Comments (43)I've also had trouble remembering the four words given to me by a medical professional, and I think that measures short term memory. I can speak three or four foreign languages, and sometimes I get them mixed up and substitute Italian words for Spanish words, since I have a larger Italian vocabulary, even though I've spoken a lot more Spanish. I would like to learn Portuguese, but I think I might be too old for that now. I haven't learned a new foreign language since I was in my 30s, but I haven't lost them either. I sometimes have trouble remembering an English word, and that seems to happen more often and not remembering a foreign word. I don't have an explanation for that. When I was speaking Spanish in Mexico (after only one semester of conversational Spanish at an adult education class), I would find creative ways of using what words I did know to get my point or idea across, and I think this exercise was very helpful for me in learning new Spanish words. You might try this exercise to help you remember English words as well, similar to what Marilyn_C suggested. Another exercise you can try is working on crossword puzzles. I think word puzzles are supposed to help your memory....See More7 Little Word game

Comments (19)I got most of them before I realized they were American cities, but then some of them I got just by combining letters into words and ignoring the clues. I only knew three of them from the clues, but that was enough to get me started. I didn't intend for anyone to reveal the clue about cities! I do much worse when the words are names of people in sports....See More- 6 years ago
