3. Dementia and kleptomania in real life:
Fri Jul 3, 2026, 09:00 PM
Friday

Collecting staples from old magazines.
Gathering bird feathers from the yard and storing them carefully.
Collecting and treasuring seeds from citrus fruit for 'future planting'.
Walking around with many used handkerchiefs and pieces of toilet paper for (reasons unknown).

And the biggie - putting used toilet paper on the toilet floor for 'display and inspection'.

(Observations on my 82 year old wife.)

Things I can't achieve:
- getting her into fresh clothes.
- getting her to have a shower and hair wash.

On the plus side, I am now a fully trained geriatric dementia male nurse!

Does Trump have dementia? Assuredly!
We probably don't hear about the worst of it what happens behind closed doors.
