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!

Jerry Garcia's Guitar Effect Pedals
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!

We Need Immigrants to Do the Jobs Americans Refuse. We Need Care Givers to Work at Old Folks Homes. We Simply Did Not Have Enough Children to Take Care of the Aging Baby Boomers. We Need Servants... Maids, Gardeners, Carpenters, Farm Workers, Drivers and...

...There are NOT ENOUGH Young People. In the USA, Japan and Europe there is a NEED and That's WHY we have so much Immigration. Everyone moves to where the Jobs are. When I was a Child, we had Braceros that came from Mexico to harvest the crops. California's central valley grows a vast quantity of America's food. I remember that at "Sun Valley Farms" (the flower growers) they all of a sudden had to check green cards for Illegal Aliens. Sun Valley is currently having difficulty finding people to do the work. Young White people take a job and then quit because the work is back breaking labor... and Other employers (like Taco Bell) have better conditions. 

John Carlos Frey book: "Sand and Blood" is about the history of building the wall during the Clinton Presidency. Douglas Hunter (Congressman from San Diego) was a big proponent of Building the Wall. Construction the Wall near Tijuana caused increase of deaths in the desert East of San Diego... Hunter's Brother felt guilty about his action and now places gallons of water in the desert in order to save lives of people walking across the Desert.

Carmalita Torres is the "Rosa Parks" of Mexican Immigration. She Walked across the border every day to work as a maid in Texas. Then the Border Guards started mandatory DE-LOUSING. People were stripped naked and washed with kerosene. EVERY DAY. Carmalita Refused and started a Protest that Closed the Border for a Day. The final effect was that people no longer lived in Mexico and worked in the USA. NOW, once they get over the border, they stay permanently... and their children are Born in the USA... Just like Bruce Springsteen... and are Automatically Citizens. 

John Carlos's Mother was arrested and deported because she did not have her Green Card on her when she was stopped by The Border Patrol. The next day, her husband went to the Tijuana Jail with the Green Card and she was released. All this happened while her young children were watching. "Bad Man Taking Mommy Away." It was a traumatic experience for a child to witness his mother being Kidnapped.

Corporations are making a vast profit housing children in Concentration Camps near the border. $750.00 a Day per child... The Businessmen want more immigrants so they can make more profit. John (the former White House Chief of Staff) is now on the Board of Directors of a Florida Concentration Camp.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
