Below are some signs of mental deficiencies that I've experienced with others around me--friends and relatives.
1. They subsist on ramen noodles and tuna fish.
2. Groceries at the rear of the car in the bag, and the plastic bags have turned to powder from age.
3. Found 2,000 lbs. of cloth that was going to be used to make pillows for the church bazaar.
4. Found a ball of rubber bands as big as a softball. Also collects used aluminum foil in mass.
5. 1,000 pounds of jelly jars under the steps that were going to be used in canning, but they don't have a garden or go to any farmer's markets. I'd hate to see how much bread went into toast to use up so much jelly.
6. They get a new car and it's banged up on all corners where they'd hit other cars and objects in parking lots--and they don't know they did it. No repairs are made.
7. We cannot get them on the telephone because they didn't pay the bill. We find out the electricity has been cut off by the power company for non-payment, and the house is in a very exclusive neighborhood.
8. Papers piled up on kitchen table a foot high, and at least $50,000 in various checks were in unopened envelopes. Many checks had to be reissued.
9. They only eat organic foods, and cases and cases of food that comes by FedEx is sitting all over the house uneaten.
10. Extremely high powered computers are purchased along with $10,000 programs that produce animated films. They don't have a job to use the computer program.
11. Found pirated satellite service, cable tv and internet programs without payment. "All I have is time in my retirement, and with enough time I can figure out how to do anything on a computer." Well, go after the Russian hackers if you're looking for something to do.
