Wish to flip I could remember peoples’ names. I go to our tiny town store once in a blue moon and everybody says “Oh hi (my name!)” And I just blank. I spend so much time in the forest. If they were mushrooms or owls or frankly any other species I’d know them in Latin.

I do better with names if I see it written in connection to that person. The first time I met up with the homeschool group from our church I was introduced to probably 7 other moms. Everyone had an easy name but I only remembered 3…the lady who was texting me from the group, the wife of my son’s group leader, and the one with the same name I almost named DD. :paperbag: I now have a few others down and even recognize them at church; but some are just faceless names in a group text because they haven’t been able to meet up again.

Maybe if you pick or associate a facial feature or body shape of the person with an owl or mushroom it will help😂😂 just don't mention how you reme them by

Gf already getting scam final notice of parcel on hold post cards🙄geeze these theives man i wanna call that number to play mind games with them so badly but gf won't allow it😅it cant help it I get a good laughing at how desperate they sound
I have been getting random messages about not being able to deliver packages because they need to 'verify my information', which is odd- especially when I haven't ordered anything. My standard response is to dump the email. Were I you, I wouldn't give the scammers squat. Your gf is right on this one.

Another weird one is when they call but don’t say anything. I’ve heard this will be the new kind of scam: AI building up recordings of your actual voice to be YOU, no need to call you anymore, they just become you! If this is true I guess we have to just either stop answering our phones or come up with accents we can use? Morse code? Passenger pigeon?

Which is why if I get a call from an unknown number, it goes straight to the robotic voicemail message. I give them nothing.

I could use some tiny projects to distract my husband from his ever growing big ones. Like installing an electric hoist/elevator thing in the attic (which is over the garage) so you don’t have to take stuff up and down the ladder. Hes been dream/planning that one for a while. I haven’t been ready to take the plunge.

The thing about homeownership; there are always more projects. Some are just more fun than others! 🤪

Pro tip: NEVER let your significant other know that you are handy with tools, as that 'one tiny project' leads to another, and another, and another, and ............. Trust me on this one
😂luckily this tiny project is have in mind is just to make it easier for me to open tabbed cans with my one good hand
