It’s getting lost in a familiar place that indicates you might be experiencing a more serious cognitive issue.

    The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad
    and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is completely off topic but I had
    to share it with someone!

    Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this website.

    It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult
    to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal.
    I must say you have done a superb job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Chrome.
    Excellent Blog!
