Ginseng. Tastes like shit but can do wonders in minds, if taken over a period. In my soon to be mother in law it somehow helps at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginseng

Try thin tea (HOT and LONG brewed) mixed with citrus or peppermint or whatever she did like. Or mixed with whatever else she liked.

I know this problem. My soon to be father in law is going almost insane over his wife starting to behave like this.

Also there is music. I remember my great-grandma coming back to "life" when i played the trombone like i did as an 8-year old. She always remembered one song i only played for her.

Also: There always is green tea. Probably the reason i'm more often than i like addressed as a "student".

Thank you! I'll pass this on!

Ginseng gives me a great boost. I used to start my day with it as animation supervisor in NYC. I keep it as a back up. I'd take it every day if I could afford it.

Yes, music is wonderful for her! They always play their country music and she always either taps the table in a manner between a child pretending to play the piano and hand drums - or she just slaps her knees to the beat. You'd think her fingers would get sore (I've imitated her and it's hard on the fingers) or her thigh/knees would get bruised.

I'll recommend the green tea too.

Even if you laugh about this: The song was the snow waltz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYsMncBCVWs

Never heard it before. Funny performance. The two people in the front row don't move.

This may blow your mind... I played tuba until grade 11. I hated it though I was good. I stayed that long for the band trips and for the school credits. I wanted a "sexy" instrument, not a fat person's instrument. Now that I'm finally fat (and finally losing it) I still don't have a tuba.

I will never forget the "music" trips. That is where i lost my virginity. It's just easier to make out when you know a girl already for a time and you got these sparkling glances already telling the truth all the time. And then you finally sleep out of your own houses without any "parental" supervision or curfews.

Till today i have a thing for female humans playing instruments. I think this was implemented into my thinking in these times.

This is how magic can happen. These were nice times i never will forget. :)

And i can assure you it doesn't depend on the instrument you're playing. My first gf like this was a Contra-bass player way too small for her instrument.

I have a fetish for young pretty women in headphones. I don't know why. Maybe the accessory frames their features well, or maybe I'm fetishizing (simple) technology, or maybe I'm projecting myself and presume they have good style and good taste in music.
