  • I can’t really explain it. I was as surprised as anyone when I realized I can’t remember the last time I saw a mosquito.

    It’s Calgary, Canada. The climate is fairly arid, but there are definitely mosquitos in the area. I just haven’t seen one in a long time, despite being outside for at least a couple of hours every day.

    I suspect if I walked along the river more I’d see some though.








  • Most people have only vague memories before they’re 5 or 6, so that’s not so uncommon. I, an elder millennial, have lots of memories from before I was 6, but only because I have a big life event that happened when I was 6 that marked a “before time” and “after time” allowing me to easily place memories before or after the age of 6. All of my memories from the “before time” are vague and hard to place at specific ages except for a specific few that I can place due to houses I lived in at the time and what my parents told me.

    I wouldn’t say I wasn’t self-aware in the “before time” but I definitely don’t remember it as well as what came in the “after time”. I’m sure that is what the above poster is referring to.
