    I read this and started to worry: “define dementia as
    “the loss of cognitive functioning — thinking, remembering,
    and reasoning — and behavioral abilities to such an extent
    that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities.””
    Then I realized that I’ve been that way for as long as I can
    remember.
    …
    …
    …
    Uh-oh.

      What I don’t see taken into account is how BUSY
      you are. How many interruptions are you dealing
      with? The average person can only do and
      take care of so many things at a time. The
      plate is full. To add one more thing, something
      else needs to come/fall off. Priorities are set,
      priorities are rearranged.
      Are you eating meals? Doing laundry?
      Earning money? Paying bills? Pay a
      modicum of attention to your SO?
      I think that covers most of the more
      important things in life. IOW, don’t
      worry. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
      And it’s all small stuff.

      Heh, then I’ve had it for the last 5 years.
      SQUIRREL!!
      No wait, that’s something else… 😛

      If you watched the Trump / Biden debate,
      Biden matches my father in speech,
      mannerisms, and movements. Pretty cut
      and dried.

      Do you forget what you were about to do often?
      Do you forget peoples’ names?
      Is it easier to remember what you were doing
      as a kid than yesterday?
      If you don’t answer yes to those questions,
      you don’t have dementia.
      If you feel you do though, go see a doctor.
      While there is currently no medicine to cure it,
      there are some that can tremendously slow down the progress.

      If you were going into dementia your work here would visible suffer and we
      would know something was up. My sister-in-law (brother’s wife) is in some
      stage of dementia. It’s getting so bad my brother sold their house and moved
      them into an assisted living facility. My sister-in-law was always kind of a
      space cadet so I cannot imagine what she’s like now. Both her parents died
      with dementia so it was to be expected. It doesn’t run in my family so I figure
      I’m safe. If you’re worried about it see a Doctor. There are tests they can run
      to see if you’re going into one of the forms of dementia (apparently there are
      multiple ways you can lose your marbles). I got my VA shrink to promise me
      that if I ever asked him he would have me evaluated, no questions asked.

      PC; it largely depends on the degree of interference that it produces
      in your life… To an extent; this is also true of ADHD, as the symptoms
      are quite similar… (I should know, I HAVE ADHD…)

      I have always been proud of my verbal skills, and my ability to
      remember all kinds of words, names, places, etc. But now I
      find myself stymied by a search for some common word that
      I can’t bring to mind, no matter how hard I try.

        I know what you mean. I had a pair of baby strokes in
        ’09 and for a couple of weeks I had two left legs.
        My verbal IQ is very high but lately I sometimes
        struggle to get a word, always a noun.
        Very frustrating!

          Here is an oddity. I developed problems with my wrists and went in for
          testing, etc. The doctor asked when I had my stroke. (This was about
          1996.) After a lot of testing, etc., they were pretty sure I suffered a
          stroke when I was 18 months old, in a coma, in the hospital trying
          hard to die from measles. I have always had some funny problems.
          I can’t smile with the right side of my mouth, for example. And I went
          back to all the photos I could find as far back as around 4, and it has
          always been true. And it explained some other oddities in my
          background. But that doesn’t explain why I can’t, for the life of me,
          think of words I have known all my life.

    Awww….looks like the NCO misplaced the toe poppers.
    Bad NCO. This will reflect poorly on his NCOER (not!)
    The toe popper missed……and hit the terrorist’s
    knee instead.
    ROFLOL!

      Not an NCO, a basic trainee. Good training.
      He figured that was the most likely spot for someone to stop for a drink.
      The other popper is where people are most likely to go to after the first
      one goes off.

        acting NCO… while in boot camp, squad leaders or fire team
        leaders were referred to as the rank in the field.
        IE squad leader was Sargent. and fire team leader was corporal.
        but, not in the field ‘acting’ was added to title..

    How DARE these invaders call Teresa
    a “whore”! As far as PC has let us know,
    she’s been so busy (and brought up so
    properly) that’s she’s had no time to
    even think about sex, much less dance
    the “horizontal mambo”.

      Even if she has, that has nothing to do with it.
      To a “true Muslim” all women are whores, no
      matter who they are. That’s why they cut them,
      make them wear the outfits, and have the rules
      about their hair and who does what to them.
      The real kicker for me was if a woman is ra-ped,
      SHE is killed, NOT the ra-pist. Because she used
      her “whore ways” to seduce him, no lie. It”s
      their “culture”, not the written laws.

    Either they want to fortify the building, or they are planning
    to collect up those kids and take them back to Jerico. I hope
    so anyway.

    More like Mo-HAMSTRUNG, he’s not going far with that! It
    shocked me he knew enough that water was going to make
    them sick, I wound up in the ER with an IV because of how
    dehydrated I became. Even with the meds, it took a week
    just to get the less spoken parts of dysentery over with.
    My father just laughed and told me about what happened to
    him in Korea…

      Korea…..I tried to be careful of what I ate
      and drank in my one year there.
      No tap water, no ice even (made from the
      same tap water, duh!)
      Nothing from the street carts.

          yes,, yes they did…
          but it was more “clear” than clean,.
          500 bc Hippocrates made a crude one.
          1600 sir Francis Bacon made one.
          1700 Joseph Amy first ‘patented’.
          1800 first city water treatment.
          Korea ,, was “field use” not every day.

            That was what I was saying before, when the Legion
            was rescuing that boy from the Cali clowns?
            You have to boil the water no less than 10 minutes
            and then run it through a filter.
            Few were told that or bothered with it.

          Ha! Could be worse, every time my name is called at least
          2 other’s ask for the last name. Michael is like the 4th most

            According to
            https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/decades/century.html
            Michael is #2. Mine’s in the top 20 (and my brother,
            brother-in-law and nephew are all named Michael),
            but there are some in the list that are kind of surprising.
            Joshua (#20) and Anthony (#14). Huh. Not where I grew up.
            Never knew a Josh or Tony till I was an adult.
            Still only know of a couple of each.

      Tease!

      Yesterday I was waiting till 5pm (20:00, West Coast Time equivalent). At
      5:05, no comic. Checked again at 6, 6:30, 7:40, 8:50. No comic – darn;
      is PC sick? And, then, finally, remembered that it was Thursday, not Friday.
      Doh! Brain fart galore.

      I think such things happen to us as we age more often because like a
      computer hard drive, we’re constantly putting new data into our brains.
      And sometimes the search and recall functions have to go looking in
      deep storage, rather than in readily accessible RAM. At least that’s my
      story, and I’m sticking with it.

      I have a couple of word games on my phone, a couple of Sudoku games,
      and a Solitaire game. And chess, but I’m pretty rusty, and I hate losing to
      a computer playing in “easy” mode, so I don’t play that very often. It’s
      embarrassing – I was president of the chess club in high school. I try to play
      the other games each once or twice a day, just to keep the analytical skills
      exercised, at least to a small degree.
