Keep fighting for life every day. I know y...Howard,<br />Keep fighting for life every day. I know your pain about brushing teeth, routines that become once in a lifetime, and finding those special places. I found a nice coffee place in San Francisco, The Creamery... Perfect in every way. Too bad we can't beam it to you. I'd like to beam it to my neighborhood too. <br /><br />I found it on google maps using this text "restaurants near 4th Street and Townsend St, San Francisco"<br />http://goo.gl/maps/tiX0v<br />I spent time reading all the reviews. My wife and I were amazed how The Creamery fit our bill exactly.<br /><br />I feel exactly like you and anonymous who can't find the list that has all the stuff on it to find... The other day I had no idea the year it was. I searched the house and my computer to find the current year. It was gone, nowhere to be found. I went to sleep in some other year. Next day, I woke up and found the year at the top of calendars, on my computer menu bar, all over the place. I finally came back to 2013. Who says time travel is not possible. I do it every day.<br /><br />Here are some videos I took at my last trip to San Francisco:<br />http://stephaniedouglas.com/2013/05/03/san-francisco-videos-2013/<br /><br />Thank you so much for your blog and support group.<br />Enjoy your Cheerios.,<br />DouglasDouglas Howeyhttp://stephaniedouglas.com/2013/05/03/san-francisco-videos-2013/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539769365000202093.post-11878085667088469522013-05-01T14:31:46.840-04:002013-05-01T14:31:46.840-04:00I love this and hate it too.

One day my mom was baffled by the change in me and she kept asking questions, trying hard to understand. I forced myself to give her example after example and explain so she could get it. Finally she said "carry a little notebook and write reminders of where you parked so you can find the car later, write reminders of what you need to do, get, and accomplish and then just go through that list every day. It works great for me!" (she does not have FTD) Seems so obvious and easy. Its impossible. I tend to set things down all the time and have no idea where I put them so I know I have set lists down in the store or wherever and walked away from them. I try to put lists on my cell because I know I carry it, but I forget the list is there, and I also set my cell down. I've carried lists in my hand before with all the details, and forgot the list was there so I never looked at it. IT WAS IN MY HAND!!!<br /><br />Glad you got the cheerios routine down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539769365000202093.post-75949981040038181732013-05-01T12:50:20.496-04:002013-05-01T12:50:20.496-04:00Thanks Lori,

Haven't looked at it since the day I put it up.<br />HowardHowardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084503950259010035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539769365000202093.post-57390911660376825142013-05-01T12:44:56.997-04:002013-05-01T12:44:56.997-04:00Thanks for the blog Howard.
