My waiter had dementia and forgot my order.

I visited a cafe in Japan that ONLY hires people with Dementia. It's called the Cafe Of Mistaken Orders.

Sometimes the servers bring you the wrong food, never bring your order, or sit down and join you instead.

But the point of this cafe is to be a place for dementia patients to feel needed and have purpose.

And this cafe is working. Japan has discovered that being socially connected actually slows down the progression of dementia.

So now there are 8,000 dementia cafes all over Japan!

The U.S. should be more like Japan. We should keep elders out of nursing homes, find ways to give them purpose, and part of society until their last days.

@mariana057 I have this thought ALL THE TIME!!
And how about instead of cashiers asking us at checkout “Did you find everything ok?”, stores could have staff floaters near checkout to ask us this question BEFORE we get into the checkout line?!

@fopminui That’s perfection! Gorgeous!!

@JamesMelville I always wondered if the word “nincompoop” was real. How about “dinklefarb”?

@mayo_jf I SO don’t want to believe this is true. (She’s such a good Christian girl with her cross necklaces.) But ‘IF’ this is true, I guess I’m not ‘that’ surprised. 🤢🤷🏼‍♀️😐

8 years ago we were fighting to ensure funding for PBS programs. We did so, and will do so again! #childhood, #sesamestreet, #pbs, #nea, #kindness

@blaireerskine I’m still processing… 🫣🫨

@bryanbehar I still don’t understand how a ‘convicted felon’ is still even being allowed to run for President. How?! Why?!

@drclairetaylor Last December a cousin gifted me an electric kettle and my life has never been the same! I’m grateful for it every morning! 🙌🏻

@Nostradonny @anylaurie16 A small package I mailed on Saturday to another Milwaukee suburb 18 miles away, has now traveled to Iowa *twice* since then. (Milwaukee’s post office main distribution center is in the same suburb where the package is supposed to be delivered to.) 🤷🏼‍♀️

@ambernoelle Those Trader Joe’s Black Mission Figs have been “out of season” for almost 2 years now. 😩 One of my staples for nearly 20 years!

@JoshRaby So very sorry for this profound loss. Thank you sharing this beautiful moment with all of us. Wishing you peace & comfort.

@Tjeerd001 I have too many things I want to remove from my body; I can’t imagine adding something else I might want/need to remove yers later. As an artist, I’m overwhelmed by what I feel I would need to design to put on myself. (I admire people who get tattoos effortlessly.) #overthinker

@amyfullermorgan As a fellow artist, Respect! 🙌🏻 That’s fantastic!

[Sarah Vandenbusch @CandidCreative1]

@tonyposnanski Yep, still driving one.
