  • I got divorced in my 20s and moved from a house into an apartment. I had this long sofa bed, and my buddies and I tried for like half an hour to get it into the apartment, which was off of a hall and then had a short entry hall itself. The couch was too long to stand up on the without hitting the ceiling.

    Finally decided it just wasn’t going to work. I thought it might be worth trying to disassemble some of the internal structure and cutting some upholstery seems, then reassembling and sewing, so I turned it upside down. Long story shorter, the arms were separate units, not sewn on, just bolted on, and without them it was short enough to go through the door on end. Wish I had realized earlier.





  • It’s interesting, they used to think that having a big vocabulary or knowing multiple languages delayed having Alzheimer’s. It turns out that family often first become aware that a person is developing Alzheimer’s because the person starts regularly forgetting common words, but people with big vocabularies can come up with alternatives when they can’t remember one, so their family doesn’t recognize it as early. When those people are diagnosed, they end up being further along.
