      Hi maggers,    I am 43 and i really look forward to my bed , finding its getting earlier ha ha. I wish and i have said it before on here, that you could just for a few mins touch someone and they feel your pain ect ect, that would shut them up. Fibro fog is one of the worst , i just had to change my pass word on here as i forgot it, and this morning at the doctors i kept sighning in my daughters date of birthlol i was thinking this stupid system. recently got a puppy names Charlie but i keep  calling him  Tyra ( who died few years ago) its annoying everyone ooopsy. Just another day eh !!!!!!. hugs

      agreed fibro-fog is dreadful.  If they get annoyed at you calling the dog by the wrong name just tell 'em "he doesn't care what I call him as long as it's not late for dinner"lol  my dog is used to being called all sorts.

      found it - if you type in 'what dogs hear cartoon' into google - there's a whole bunch of them, the one I was remembering is by Larson.
