Try CBD oil
It depends on the pen but my hands are ink-free.
I downloaded an MS Word page-a-day calendar and printed off several weeks that I put into a 3 ring binder. I write daily notes on how much I spend, work projects, home projects, meetings and appointments, etc. Why?
I’ve been a programmer for 39 years and I discovered I had forgotten how to write. Writing things down helps you retain information. If you wrote down everything, you would never forget anything because it is on your list. I watched an aunt go through Dementia and she refused to document anything. Her brain atrophied. All she does now is parrot back everything she hears on CNN.
I agree with you that writing things down helps you remember. When I was working I had so many things going on, I decided to change to a PC, mostly because I had so much information on so many different projects I needed to be able to find things quicker. It was probably the best shift I ever made because I could put my hands on almost anything in just a few minutes. I found that most people have selective memories and there’s no better way to back up your arguments than getting the info quickly.
With a PC you can take notes and link to other documents. Any other document, including things like project specifications that can be more than a 100 pages.
I’ve gotten so used to it, I use a computer or smartphone for almost everything. Just so I can search quickly. It works great for my calendar and for note files and for my daily log.
I’m not dissing handwriting, not at all. If I wanted to learn more about a new subject, I would make handwritten notes. It really does help imprint the information into your head.
Just gazing down.
How does it work? Do you apply it to the joints externally, or take it internally? Where does one get it? I get so many spam emails about it that I sort of assumed it was snake oil.
They are good Hokies. I bought several things from them. Their emails are one of my favorite things.
I have resisted the “buying lots of expensive stuff” bug. I am trying to journalize things (one journal for religious activities, one for work, one for personal, etc). I just need to dedicate the time.
I buy it from a guy locally but you can buy the oil if it is legal in your state. I do about 4 drops under the tongue, hold for 60 seconds and then chase it down with kombucha (it kills the taste).
You can also apply it directly. I find it helps with joints.
It doesn’t work for everyone. Some people say it helps with anxiety but I don’t have that. Swallowing it will lead to dreaming as it is a very mild hallucinogen. Some people smoke/vape it to bypass the liver so that doesn’t happen.
One other side effect is that it will dial back your buzz from smoking weed. I think they give it to you if you “overdose”.
I have to say that I have spent too much money on modest cost pocket knives, high cost harmonicas, and art supplies for how little workout I give them. Boys and their toys.
However, I could spend ten times as much and never equal my wife and her dolls. LOL.
I have built her a doll house. It is 6’4 tall and 13’ long and still growing.
Heheheh, playing war...I haven’t thought about that in a long time.
They would probably just whisk you away and stick you on Ritalin now if you did that as a kid...
Never mind the hysterical adults seeing you with toy guns.
Last time I used a fountain pen was when I was in 7th grade. And the last interaction I had was having my hand put in a slowly tightening vise by Mr. Stauffer (my shop teacher) because I was exploding the ink cartridges in one of the big shop vises...
He was a really good guy. I don’t blame him at all. We had other teachers who paddled you with a cricket bat for far, far less.
No doubt they would have put me on Ritalin if they had it then.
Use a GoPro camera.
Damn. I missed my chance, it had one spot when I checked last night.
Well, someday!
