It's like after three or four days the person's brain undergoes some kind of change, maybe even a physical change. So if you're in a situation like this, you have three, four days tops to get out.

Not good, but normal.<BR/><BR/>To me, the oddest bit is that his wife supposedly never noticed anything. Not even when he insisted on adopting a few of their grandchildren.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't write this story and make it seem feasible or logical. Yes, it's upsetting--but on top of that, it just seems downright impossible.David Isaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928598446742324391noreply@blogger.com
