RE: Am I a Genius? (I Don't Know About That)

I have worked really hard to stop doing Internet searches for illnesses. It always leads me on a downward spiral, only to end up at the doctor who surprisingly is not concerned at all. But then the mind plays more tricks, telling you that the doc is lazy and doesn't care about you.

The truth is, we are all decaying at different rates and should just get on with life the best we can and enjoy it while still possible. Ironically, the worry causes more illness than anything else!

I really envy folks who can speak lots of languages. I taught myself Spanish back when I was quite young by moving to Mexico and living amongst folks with no English at all for quite some time. I was surprised how it seemed impossible but then just started coming to me naturally. I can even do several accents from around the country with always impresses the locals. But like you, I have forgotten a lot and often have to look things up. You really lose what you don't use consistently!
