The Hat People in Old Town Spring

Joe :
Wow! I have never gone to Old Town Spring, but when I was in Mainz, Germany 2 weeks ago we stopped to shop at a hat store. I commented to one on my coworkers that we don't have a hat store near us and I've never been in one. Guess I need to get out of the bubble once in a while!

Joe :
Haven't been there in a long while. Last purchase was a bowler hat as a gift for someone.

bigla : Theres a small hat store in the Mall on the Upper Level outside of Dicks.

Joe : 21 years ago and they are still using your website creation! That is awesome. I hope you can update it for them, this time on the expensive and not on the cheap.

luannski :
Where/ What is Dick's?

bigla : If ya gotta ask.......

bigla : Sounds as if you get out of the bubble big time!

Joe :
It's incredible that nothing is changed, It must be the oldest website around - 21 years!!!

I need to know what a "hat emergency" is, and that's coming from a hat lover.

Kittle :
I actually had a website for someone that was still up until at least a couple years ago, from 2001…I would try to look it up to see if it's still online now, but the name of the company is eluding me…forgetfulness comes with age, I guess. ; )

Joe : Forgetfulness can come with age, but often you can use a Plan B or Plan C to make your memory more effective. One good technique is to tell yourself that you will remember that bit of information "by tomorrow afternoon." Your brain takes in that command and often does provide the desired information by the following afternoon. Your brain probably wants to use your sleep time to look back through its saved memories and find the answer for you.

Really? Have a father with dementia. So worried for myself. Is there a link I can read to hep me help myself?

There's a lot of good information on the internet. Here's a little from a Cleveland Clinic article:"Most cases of dementia aren't inherited by children or grandchildren. Most often, dementia is influenced by a combination of factors like aging, genetics, lifestyle behaviors and environmental factors. So, dementia can be hereditary - but it's rare.""Dementia may not be 100% preventable, but you can certainly reduce the likelihood you'll develop it by taking care of your mental, emotional and physical health as early as possible. Some of the most helpful actions you can do include:Eat healthy foods.
Make time for exercise.
Challenge your brain to learn new things or pick up new hobbies.""We can't do anything about our family history or our genetics, but we can do something about a lot of these lifestyle factors and try to maintain good habits in those areas," he encourages. "Doing so could either reduce our risk for dementia or delay the onset of any symptoms for years."
