Lol, after a real nightmare the last few days after I accidentally signed out, I think I may have a new pass and gotten signed in again.
I'd likely be confused/lost anyway, but after my stroke I sometimes feel clueless.

I totally get you Mike, my stroke was 9 years ago and though I’m blessed to be almost totally back I’ll still have an occasional “stroke moment”. Sometimes I’m go to another room, stand there in the doorway, and wonder why the heck did I come here! No worries, I’m to the point where I think it’s more funny than worrisome.Lol, after a real nightmare the last few days after I accidentally signed out, I think I may have a new pass and gotten signed in again.

That’s because you’re walking in to a new room so your brain has to clear your previous thoughts and get prepped for the new ones. 👍 At least that’s what i’ve been told and i’m sticking with it !

Thanks ! I think again I have signed back in, but I can't always be sure. Unfortunately for me, after the stroke, I don't think my brain always works so great and reliably anymore !

@mikedetorrice ....so many joke openings, but I'll refrain and use my better judgement. 😉 😀 🤣

Sorry that I am having so much difficulty logging in or staying logged in. I realize it doesn't help matters to have had a stroke sometime back, but here on the forum it is difficult and frustrating to say the least !

Thanks, Geoff ! It is aggravating presently to be lost or make so many mistakes. But I guess some alternatives are significantly worse !
As an aside I remember many years ago having a pleasant on-line discussion on one of the huge CompuServe forums with a gentleman from Belgium. Suddenly, there were no responses from him and I just figured he went on to other threads. It turned out he had suddenly passed away and thus his death explained the sudden silence. But people also lose internet connectivity or other problems come up, so there is that, too.

Mike, my prayers are for you at that you might achieve some sense of normalcy. Take care.
