"The BRAIN" is a paid subscription App. "OBSIDIAN" (the logo of the Purple Rock" is a free version. These apps help to organize your notetaking into a linear fashion to follow the way that you think, so that when you go back to look at your notes you will be able to find what you need because it adapts to how your brain works. 01:15:41 Kirk Paige: Reacted to "This last weekend I ..." with 👍🏻 01:16:58 Cindy Hernandez: I struggle with reading out loud in the program im in lol 01:17:20 Zerra: Reacted to "I struggle with read…" with 👌 01:24:35 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Replying to "I went to a Irish fe..." There are a lot of Stimuli at the Upland Irish Festival. I used to go every year. I love the music and the people and the dancing. But at night (when it used to be more fun) I get overstimulated by the pulsating lights, the people who are stumbling into my pathway, and even the texture of the walkway causes me to trip. Well it is probably vestibular overload causing me to trip but I feel EVERY sense working at the same time at that festival...smells, sights, sounds, touch, and taste. All the senses working at the same time cause overload. 01:25:14 CHRISTIAN J: God Bless you family Love ya! Have family over... 01:26:46 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Reading tips: Read in small bites, take a break to breathe & recall, stretch, before returning for the next bite. 01:28:17 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Reading is like eating. You need to take a bite. Then Chew. Then Swallow. and possibly drink water before taking the next bite. Breaking reading into parts helps to "digest" the meaning and make it part of your memory. 01:28:43 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: The more senses you use the more you activate your memory. 01:29:06 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Book Club: " The Power of Fun" 01:30:12 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Book Club is on the website.

Take a deep breath and find a cooler space to be. 02:03:16 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Awe---another song from the 1980's that fits with some of us---"I wear my sunglasses at night.." LOL Though I don't remember the meaning or words of the rest of the song. I do embrace and choose really nice looking sunglasses to wear at night. Interesting though there are different types of sunglass lenses that can make a difference. There are polarized lenses, blue light lenses, and even red light sunglass lenses that are not prescription but easily available. Not one particular method fits everyone's individual need. 02:03:34 Carol: great to see you all - I have to go 02:04:25 Kirk Paige: Reacted to "Awe---another song f..." with 👍🏻 02:04:25 VinCenT: krazy weather cycle..... 02:04:26 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: The heat is really bothering me.
