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!

Let's Ban Alcohol Ads on TV. We Banned Tobacco Ads and That Worked! Everyone Knows That Alcohol is Dangerous... Keep it Legal but STOP Promoting Use.

The Main Trouble with Those TV Ads Is:
I'm an Alcoholic and Those Ads Make Me want to Drink. We Have Delivery Service Here and I Could Simply Order Online! So Two or Three Times an Hour I'm Tempted... 

Crown Royal promises a Psychedelic Trip in their TV ADS
It Appears That Crown Royal is Promising a Psychedelic Experience...

We don't see Tobacco Ads on TV anymore... Because WE, as a Society, Refused to Allow Obvious Poison on TV.

Psych-Meds TV Advertisements - Totally Creepy!

Let's Stop Advertising Prescription Drugs... and Non Prescription Drugs as Well... Who Benefits from these Advertisements? NOT THE VIEWERS... NOT PATIENTS...

Corporations make money selling Alcohol, Drugs and so do the TV Networks... Corporations that have a Horrible Track Record of Abusing People... Remember The Massive Lawsuit that Purdue Pharmaceuticals Lost about Oxycontin? Killing People, Causing Addiction... Billions of Dollars... and The People that Caused the Nationwide Crisis Got To Keep Millions of Dollars...

Ronald Hadley Stark & The Brotherhood of Eternal Love... One Kilogram of Liquid LSD

https://belhistory.weebly.com/ronald-stark.html

Stark told them that he had a mission to use LSD in order to: “facilitate the overthrow of the political systems of both the capitalist West and communist East by inducing altered states of consciousness in millions of people.”

The Brotherhood was impressed, and the Golden Era of cheap, high-quality LSD began. From then on through to 1973, Stark and the Brotherhood dosed almost an entire generation of America’s youth.

and on FaceBORG I Said:
The Johnny Depp Amber trial is a Classic Example of The Fall of the Roman Empire: "Bread and Circuses" - THIS is the Circus that's designed to Distract Attention from The Reality that Western Civilization is Collapsing... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses

And Biff Rose Replied:
you know better than that oh Saint Gregory II.....that ol' cliche about The Fall of the Roman Empire....everyone knows there was a transition....bridged over and re-glued together...by Saint Augustine's BEST SELLER....1500 years on the NY Times Best Seller list...." The City of God"... where the "Rome's Caesar" was renamed "The Pope" and the Roman Senators were all re-named Cardinals and Bishops....and the Vestal Virgins were re-named nuns.........and the mystical "God of the Army" was shifted from MITHRAS whose birthday was Dec 25th to Jesus whose birthday was shifted to Dec 25th..so much..OR MOST of "that Old Time religion" was continued intact..just like NOW as N.O.W..... the New Order of the Word...where the Roman Empire CONTINUES thru "Caesar CZAR" Vlad Putin...and Moscow the THIRD ROME arising...petulant as a kid...blocking food for the world's poor.....unless the old dead..dying and corrupt WEST Hollywood... release some of those great and totally decadent fleshpot flicks Czar Putin likes to watch late at nite before halting another shipment of grain to Sri Lanka,,WTF's WRONG witchoo Saint Greg?
You know damn well every thousand years there's a BIGGIE to satisfy and tittylate yo' Tupac....a THOU years ago it was the eastern Orthodox SCHISM where the original Nicaean Creed ( the Apostle's Creed of 325 a.d....) was re-invoked where grace PROCEEDS from the FATHER...some Monks in the 6th century I read inserted "and the SON" and so the gospel read "Grace proceeds from the Father, AND THE Son and the Holy Spirit".....SPIRIT used to be GHOST but as the tired and waning West's white male.........began losing it in Nam......grace began proceeding from a FATHER MACHO dude once more and the Patriarch Kyrill in Moscow has blessed that move by coronating Czar Putin whose gonna beat the WEST cuz he's ONE with the FATHER fig...the WEST meanwhile keeps praying to the SON GUY....the fall guy Jesus.....to come riding in on the silver stallion...from Calvary to the cavalry....Czar Putin meanwhile keeps dangling the Atomic Carrot over the heads and those GIVING head in the WEST'S Hollywood...

and I Replied:
and today the verdict was read... She got fined 15 Million for lying about Johnny Beating her up and He Got fined for Lying about How it was all a Hoax... She Called the cops, they found nothing wrong... so she threw wine all over the living room and tipped over some furniture AS IF there had been a Fight... and She Called the Cops again... and They Found Nothing Wrong Again... BUT... When Johnny said That action was a Hoax... the Jury awarded her 2 Million... because they didn't think it was a HOAX... it was Just another day in Paradise!

Actual Reality is Better Than Looking at a Phone, TV or Computer. Smell, Taste and Touch are Missing from Digital Life. However...

Computer Art by gvan42 - Javascript Colortable Program

However there are some Dramatic Advantages to the Digital Life... Touching Actual Humans can Spread Disease... Remember the AIDS Quilt? 
and Sometimes "Surprise" Children! OOPS!

and In The Digital World it's Possible to Come Back to Life after Dying... That's a Basic Concept in "Shoot 'em Up" Video Games... Totally Different than Actually Being a Soldier... OOPS! Stepped on a Land Mine, Now I'm a Cripple for the Rest of my Life! If You Came Back to Life in Reality, They would Name a Religion after You! Look at all the Yadda-Yadda about Jesus!

Online, "Remote Viewing" is Easy... I've Traveled all over the World using "Television" - a Word that means to See from Afar... and With Google Maps Street View, Satellite Images and Uploaded Pictures from People... I Just Completed a Virtual Journey over the Bigfoot Highway - from Arcata on the West Coast of Northern California to Redding in the Central Valley. I didn't Have to Buy any Gasoline! and I Got to Go Places that I'm Forbidden to Enter... but the Owners are Delighted to Upload Photos! For Example: This Picture of the Control Room at the Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant in Georgia... NO WAY Could I Ever See This in Reality!

Remote View Control Room Vogtle, Georgia

Here's Another Virtual Journey: Bridgeville UFO Festival, CA, USA on Hwy 36 in Remote Humboldt County - From Highway 101 thru The Van Duzen River Valley, The Town of Mad River. All the Way to Red Bluff in the Central Valley.

and Virtual Journey: Lost Coast, CA, USA on Highway 211 - From Victorian Ferndale to The Beach, the Mountains of Mateel to the Avenue of the Giants. Humboldt County.

Just for fun I drove all over Remote Humboldt County California and Took Pictures! and I Find that Other People Have Done That TOO.

It was Rare that I would Attend the Kinetic Sculpture Race on Day Three 
when they Arrive in Victorian Ferndale... 
Mainly because I had Gone to Day 1 in 
Arcata and Day 2 in Eureka and I Had 
Seen Enough... BUT... Someone 
Else Documented The Finish Line and 
I can See it from the Comfort of my Air Conditioned Home...

American History: "The Thunder Machine" made by Ron Boise was used by Ken Kesey at the Acid Tests. It was a Giant Sheet Metal Sculpture that you Got Inside and Played like a Drum.

I didn't Go to Any of the Acid Tests... 
I was in 6th Grade During the Summer of Love.
But We Have Films of the Grateful Dead playing at

I always wondered... are there any Unique 
Features of People Born in the Spring of
1968? Conceived During the Summer of 
Love... are They Special? 










and then on FaceBORG SE SAID: When it comes to live music, the venue matters to me as much as the band. If I don't enjoy the venue, I'm not going to enjoy the band either.

VKK Said: Do you like shoreline? I used to go there all the time but now a lot of these venues where you have to have clear bags, you can't even bring purses in anymore which is lame... 

and SE Replied:  I used to go there a lot, but I don't think I've been there since the 90's. There wasn't much security back then. People used to bring in outside food, and that was part of the fun, but I don't think they allow that anymore. And I've never been anywhere that requires clear bags. I understand that we need extra security now than we did then, but it does sound like it would be a huge pain.
and I Replied: I went to the shoreline to a Furthur Festival and sat on a grassy hill in the parking lot... all the people that didn't want to spend money on a ticket were there... we had a great time... Many Grateful Dead type bands... and I remember they Played "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles... and there was the Sound of a Train Driving By... and that really freaked me out because there are NO TRAINS in that area... anyway, Shoreline is built on a Garbage Dump... a Little Heads UP in case you don't care for TOXIC Chemicals...


So the Oakland Stadium is No Good? Wait! There you are in the Front Row of this Video! I See You! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxIWDmmqZzY

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.

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...
