JEOPARDY! Fights Dementia and It's FUN! - AARP offers Memory Games but Since They are NO FUN... I Never Play Them...

I'd rather Have Dementia than Play UN FUN Memory Games... I Only Have a Few More Years to Live and Doing THAT is Not My Idea of a Happy Life...

and then SG On Mastodon Said:

So you've mentioned dementia and Alzheimer's, and your diagnosis and the drugs you take for it.
How did it start for you? What did you notice? Can you write about it in your blog?

I've tried to talk to old programmers, about the changes the notice in their brains, but they didn't want to talk about it. 

I can sort of see why. It's the same journey for everyone, and and it bites everyone, and who wants to talk about that? It's  acknowledging the end, and who wants to do that?

and I Replied: 

I've noticed that sometimes it takes a week to remember someone's name... important people from my past... Like The Names of Women I've had Sex With... If anything should make a person MEMORABLE, that should make them stand out... anyway... 

I don't take any drugs to combat Dementia... mostly I DO NOT Take Alcohol, Marijuana or any other Illegal Drugs... I DO Take Coffee Every Day... and that Helps me...

and I Read a Book Called "Still Here" by Ram Dass... and That Has some Wisdom about Getting Old and Dying... https://www.ramdass.org/still-here/

I Have Found that Writing on My High School Alumni FaceBorg Page is a Good Way to Exercise My Brain... Especially Since Many of the Other People on that Group Experienced the Same Events and they Can Verify Facts... or Bring up Subjects that I Had Forgotten all about... and then I Say: "Oh Yeah! I Remember Doing That!"

In General: The Internet Has Helped me Fill Up the Long Days of Retirement... Chatting with People about Subjects of Common Interest... For Example: Someone Posted a Photo of Jerry Garcia's Guitar Effect Pedals... and Someone Else asked: "What are the Names of Those Boxes?" So... Two of Us did Internet Research and Identified Every One... and Then a Third Person Published the Official List!

From the Top:
A Guitar Tuner.
Real Tube Reverb.
TRIO (Unknown)
Unknown

Top Row L-R:

Octaver, Overdrive, Equalizer, Envelope Filter...

Bottom Row L-R:

Overdrive, Equalizer, Phase Shifter...

and It was Fun Doing the Collaborative Research!

Traditionally, Men Would Work Like a Slave Their Entire Life... Retire... and Fail to Find Anything to Do With Their Time... and Die Quickly... From Boredom or Alcoholism... After All, Drinking All Day and All Night WILL Help You Pass The Time...

After All, Previous Generations Did Not Have the Internet... and Keeping Busy was a Challenge...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

I Find that On FaceBorg Some People Just Want to Argue... and Try to Prove Me Wrong... on Every Statement... I Believe That It's Impossible for Me to Be Wrong 100% of the Time... SO... I Just BLOCK those People and Report them to The FaceBorg Brain Police... and I Never Read their Hate Speech Ever Again!

Not Only do I Love Playing JEOPARDY! but I Also Like Wheel of Fortune and America Says... All Three Shows ask me to Come up with an Answer to a Puzzle... Gives me a Short Time to Shout It Out... and Then Tells me the Correct Answer...

I Also Like Playing With Photo Programs... It's FUN to Write MEMES and Post 'em Online! It's a Good Way to Help Brainwashed TrumpNiks® WAKE UP! and Stop Believing Lies!
