  • I’ve noticed that a common sign of dementia is thinking gas costs what it did decades ago. My step dad would be sent in to pay for gas and he’d come back thinking $10 was more than enough to fill the tank. This was when gas was $4+ a gallon.

    Chuck’s math is 25¢ a gallon. As you point out that is right about the price it was when he was in his prime. His post isn’t just about lying for Trump. It’s about mental decline.

    You may be asking why my step dad with dementia was being sent in unattended to pay for gas when you could pay at the pump. Denial by his primary caregiver was also a factor. Make him do as many normal things as possible and then be shocked when they didn’t work out.

    When we first fostered him he was about as dangerous as a mammoth. I tamed him and he went to a different foster. But it turned out I tamed him to just me. The new foster didn’t know how to handle him and he regressed. So he came back here where I knew how to handle him. It took a few months to undo his new bad attitude. Now he is chill until you decide to try and pet him. But even that is manageable.

    You have been paying attention. But I don’t know the answer. Kitten food is for the foster cats and is provided free so I don’t track that. And my wife is fully in charge of feeding the adult cats so I don’t track that either.

    But I can tell you that chicken feed costs about 8¢ per bird per day. Not sure about the geese or ducks.
