Eric Blair Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 A thought that came to my mind last night, when watching an episode of "House, M.D." I was thinking of the now closed thread about the woman who threw dog feces at a grounds keeper. Like it or not, we have an "older" older population of expats here. There is always the possibility the woman has some form of early dementia or Alzheimer. These conditions do not become full-blown overnight. They often start as subtle changes in personality and mood swings, etc. Some tines there may be per-existing personality disorders where a person will act in a manner that is inconsistent with their usual personality. What this lady did with the dog feces is well outside the norm. So as in "House," members of our expat community team may want to consider other factors than the first impression. So as the saying goes, "When you hear hoof-beats, think horses, not Zebras." I add: But don't rule-out Zebras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think you may be right, but this subject was such a can 'o worms that it needed closing, and none of us is professionally qualified (as far as I know) to speculate on a web board about the matter. IMHO, best to let it lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Blair Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Agree. That thread mention was only a segue into the main point of my post. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
