Live in the past, is mine. I will listen to things over and over because some songs or even podcast episodes, rewind me back to times where I felt comfortable in. I do sometimes poke my head out to see where things are currently in the present, but nothing around really makes me gravitate to anything current-day. But, then I just go back to my hole in living in the past.

People used to tell old people to get over it about them remembering things as they were all of the time. I’m understanding why they do that. Sometimes the present really truly sucks.

      According to the folks on the podcast No Such Thing as a Fish, it’s a learned behavior. My 11 year old son has started mimicking my husband’s ridiculous sneezes and his voice hasn’t even dropped yet so… yeah might be.

      No, at least for some people they can control it. I told my loud sneezing husband who "couldn’t help it " if his sneeze woke the child, the child was his responsibility alone to care for and he found a way to sneeze normally.

        With me, I can’t help it. And I always sneeze three times. If I could stop it, I would.
