I walked outside to get the mail today. When I came back in, my 89 year old mom, who has Alzheimer’s looked at me and asked, “Are you my son?”
I smiled and said “Yes. Are you my mother?”
She smiled, and said “That was the
name of your favorite book when you were really young.”
We used to read “Are You My Mother” back in the mid 1970s.
Alzheimer’s is full of surprises.
@danbarker I know you Dan and you’re a good man, this is such an act of kindness and totalling in your character. I for one understand the need for photos in the post. If it inspires just one more selfless act then it keeps on giving. Good on you. What a gentleman. Merry Christmas 🎅🏻
1. I know your mum had so many illegitimate children that it’s probably easiest to assume everyone you meet is a relation, but for clarity - I am not your brother.
2. Reading your attempt at a proper sentence, I wonder if you should be sticking to picture-based apps? #insta
3. I’m not just a star, I’m a fucking MONSTAR.

Usually, when you can't decide which flavour of ice cream you want, it's because they all sound too good to choose...The Ice Cream Project is returning for the summer and opens its doors on June 29!
To appear headless while taking a photo, known as "horsemaning", was a popular way to pose in the 1920's.
Horsemaning, also known as "headless posing," is a photographic technique where the subject creates the illusion of being beheaded, with their head placed on the ground or another surface. This unique form of posing gained popularity during the 1920s and was considered a photography trend at the time.
To achieve the desired effect, two individuals are required for this pose. One person positions themselves with their head hidden or tilted backward, while the other conceals their body, revealing only their head in the photograph. The term "Horsemaning" originated from the Headless Horseman, a malevolent character depicted in Washington Irving's 1820 short story titled "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
In 2011, Horsemaning experienced a resurgence on Facebook, and numerous photos attempting to recreate the original trend started circulating on platforms like Buzzfeed. This revitalization brought renewed attention to the peculiar and imaginative art of Horsemaning.
This is me pondering whether they'll change any of the words I've used in my work after I'm dead, to spare those who are fragile and easily offended. Words like 'fat' and 'ugly'. And 'cunt' and 'fuck'. And 'fat, ugly, greedy, pathetic little stupid fucking cunt'. Stuff like that.
