Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
NHWM has been gone a few months now. Yes there was a hurricane and one of her daughters was ill. Hope all is well with her.
I was "bouncing off the walls" last night, so unusual for me... since I'm usually feeling tired. I could not concentrate at all to read my school text. It was very strange.
You can do a case study on a single subject or a within-subjects design on a single subject, before-and-after and can repeat (ABAB), on a single case, but depends on what you're studying. A lot of information about the brain/body started from single case studies, such as the study of Phineas Gage. I could act as my own subject and measure different variables... but expect it wouldn't hold much academic weight since lower/single participants mean lower internal and external validity. 🤓
There are different human physiological correlations for full/new moons -- e.g., heart rate and blood pressure. I think moon phases do affect human behavior, even if the bulk of scholarly studies find no correlation with whatever they're looking at. There is a lunar hypothesis, that lunar phases directly affect human behavior, but it's controversial. "Lunatic" is from lunar, and this has been a belief commonly held in human history, as we all know.
I think it's all verrry interesting. lol
I need to stop eating all the Halloween candy because that's a confounding variable for my hyperactivity! 😆

Also, you can't debunk your own theory based on just one subject (you). Don't you need a minimum number of subjects for a study. One is certainly not sufficient.
Random insert: I'm waiting for full moon correlation studies to come out. I have never found anything scholarly (haven't looked that hard), but I know what I know.
Happy Hunter's Moon, all. I've been wondering what my problem is tonight, why I can't concentrate for 10 seconds at a time. Like so many times before, someone mentions "full moon" or I look up in the sky, and sure enough. Hard to explain. I can live with being superstitious but it's a heck of a coincidence for me! 😁😱
*(If I did this study, I'd have to control for female cycles, which happens to coincide for me...🤔 I think I just debunked my own theory. Hope this makes someone laugh. I seriously just put it together. Oof.)
😖😢😠
I feel sorry for the elderly lady. Her $$ is gone. Will her children take good care of her after they spent/ squandered her $500,000? I have my doubts.
During the mandatory look back they discovered very large cash gifts and real estate transfers. The family had spent all of the money and was unable to pay for care. The NH had given them 60 days to try to find a solution. The sum transferred was said to be $500,000. She was sent to her sons home. Her daughter accompanied her. I hope they take good care of her.

Today, I drove my son to a meeting with his ex football team.
I received a call from some unknown relatives who wanted to greet my mom... I said I would call them back as soon as I was back home.
This man told me it was to ask her to look for a flat for his son and girlfriend in the nearby university (30km from our house).
I wondered who gave him my mobile phone number. It turned out it was a cousin who he lied to saying he wanted to know how my mom was.
The craziest thing: he already has a son living in the same town! Working in the city hall!
I arrived home... Found my mom bleeding as she tried to get out of bed through the rails. She didn't say what she had done. I found it myself as I saw blood on the rails and on the floor but not at her feet height.
Thank God I go back to work tomorrow. I love Mondays! I must be a white fly!
This is a classic Dick Van Dyke!

Excerpt from Bloomberg reports:
Sweden and Denmark decided to halt vaccinations with Moderna Inc.’s Covid-19 shot for younger people because of potential side effects.
The Swedish health authority Wednesday cited new data on the increased risk of heart inflammation as a reason for the pause for those aged 30 and under. Denmark will stop giving the shot to those younger than 18.
Moderna shares fell as much as 5.3% in New York trading.

I have heard of blotched, or is it botched? What channel? I just watched some clips of botched on YouTube. OMG! Very happy I did what I did and can't believe women would augment up to size F?! And even more.
I gave a thumbs down to an implant, it is major MAJOR preparation and many hours in surgery. I was 65 and I didn't want to risk being under for a lot of hours. There is so much more involved then what one sees on the TV show "Blotched".
Glad, good to hear you are recovering well.
As for bras, if I don't wear one my boobs flop to the side now so it's best I wear one when I'm out.
