Happy Thursday morning to all from this side of earth, how are you?
I was making a discussion a while back, and I was in the middle of typing the first few lines here on desktop and I tried reading notifications in my page, when suddenly the internet connection was off; I cannot read the latest because the seemingly endless rotation of the circle goes on and on, until the screen posted “no internet”.
So, I immediately left the desktop and watched this movie about a black man suspected of raping a white socialite (the lawyer is played by the Black Panther). I have watched this movie a dozen times already but I like watching it over and over again.
Now, internet is back and I cannot recall what I was about to post discussion with. So I deleted the discussion. My trend of thought is gone with the sudden internet interruption.
Do you have this moment too?

I think I wrote one discussion when I was mylotitng but suddenly there was a blackout. I haven't really experienced any internet interruption recently but it's just the blackout for a short time. But the blackout didn't stop me from mylottig and watching anything on Netflix because of my phone. I don' like mylotting from my phone at all so I just use it as a hotspot so I could connect and work on my computer.

for me, i sometimes use the phone especially when i have to attach a picture. the net is one problem now; for 2 days, it is gone momentarily. the landline this morning had no dial tone at all, then the 'busy' sound followed.

@ridingbet The pictures on my phone automatically synchs to my laptop. All apple gadgets are like that. I find it more convenient and faster when I'm on my computer as I can open many tabs and do many things at the same time. I don't like working slow and my phone slows me down because mylot doesn't have a phone app.

@toniganzon for me, i think i can log in on my phone even though there will be an app for this site. maybe making an app is not yet a priority of the admin

but you do type them on MS word and you can just copy and paste it once the net comes back?

@Courtlynn so, directly. therefore if there is power interruption or no internet connection, the discussion disappears.

@Shivram59 that is an amazing function of our brain cells. they can keep something at the 'back of our minds' and when the solution comes out, it becomes a priority already

@ridingbet I remember once when I could not solve a mathematical problem and left it, the procedure and answer suddenly flashed across my mind automatically.

what do you do then, when you are in the middle of a situation and you cannot recall what you should do later?

Oh yes, I had that moments too. One time, i was doing this, then was interrupted and when I go back, I can't remember what I was doing before the interruption. So, I moved on and did another work. Along the way, I remembered what I still have to do.

@ridingbet Of course, it's not dementia yet. I always do that, retrace what part of the house did I came from first.

that is not yet a case of dementia, my lady, just forgetting something especially if our minds are full of activities to be done outright. me as well, when i forget where i laid my glasses on, i retrace my steps and find it.

I've been in this situation, too. Fortunately, the Internet is only broken occasionally.

That's why it is necessary to type it somewhere, where you can save.
