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!

Using the Same Color Scheme and Typeface... I Defiled tRUMPs Slogan... 

Mockery of a tRUMP Slogan: 

"Promises Made, Promises Broken"

With an Upside Down American Flag...

Signalling Distress... Emergency... Danger!

Most Voters are Young People, Women

Minorities or College Graduates. 

All Those Groups Vote Democratic. 

The Quantity of Uneducated, Racist, 

Old White Men is Shrinking... 

and NOT being Replaced...

  Lefty Leaks is An Alternative to WikiLeaks... This Twitter Account shows all the Examples of "The Left" doing Dastardly Deeds... Liberals EXPOSED! - Actually, no leaks are posted... Maybe it's Satire? Maybe they JUST FAILED...

  https://twitter.com/leftyleaks Victor Koman: It's been around awhile, but I don't think anyone has posted anything of value on it...

Autobiography: I remember that we did not have air conditioning in elementary school. When it got hot we folded up paper to make a fan. We also folded a sheet of newspaper to make a HAT... and a four sided thing to tell the future... sort of like a Magic Eight Ball.

 I also knew how to fold a CUBE... I have forgotten everything I ever knew about paper folding... 

I remember Board Games. Risk, Chess, Monopoly, Parcheesi... and then years later when I got married we played Master Mind and my wife always won. 

I owned a Blacklight. And a Lot of Blacklight Paint... I painted the blades of a fan different colors and when the fan was spinning it created unusual colors due to persistence of vision... 

I remember owning a Transistor Radio. I listened to Giants Baseball Games. I was not the only kid who was a Giant Fan... as a Matter of fact, John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival tells the story of how he wrote the Song "Centerfield" about his Childhood Hero Willie Mays... He also listened to Games on His Transistor Radio... 

I remember owning a Brownie Camera. It used Film and If you "forgot" to wind it between pictures you could force the camera to take double exposures... a very "Trippy" Effect... 


Then decades Later I took B&W Photography at Humboldt State University and we did the developing in a Darkroom. That's a wonderful experience because you do all that physical manipulation of film and holders and chemicals in total darkness while looking at swirling rainbow hallucinations... Even when I am not "ON DRUGS" I see a lot of checkerboard style patterns in the dark that dance. Then the same teacher taught us Photoshop the next semester... EPIC CLASSES...  That was the only time I used an Apple Computer. I knew I was "home" when it asked me if I was trying to upload a series of photographs in order to create an animated GIF... that was EXACTLY  what I was trying to do and It offered to upload all the pictures for me Automatically! For homework we had to design a WEB Based Store... and The specific Task was to show a product (A Coffee Cup) spinning around so the customer could see all sides... We worked in teams to do our projects and an Older student taught me how to create an animated GIF... That was a big Idea that our teacher had... We should teach ourselves Computer Science because after we graduate we were not allowed to ask the teacher questions... We should research the answers ourselves...

Will Trump Actually DO Anything About MENTAL HEALTH HEALING? He SAYS the Cause of The El Paso #MAGAKiller was Mental Health and Video Games BUT... He Has Taken NO REAL Action to HEAL His "Base" So They Don't Kill Again...

There ARE Cult Deprogramming Services Available and... Everyone says that the El Paso #MAGAKiller LOOKED like he was in a Trance... Like the MKULTRA Programmed Assassin who Shot Robert Kennedy... 

Does anyone know anything about the Imaginary "TrumpCare?" All we know so far is Their Slogan "GET SICK? DIE, LOSER" - It's a SECRET until after the Rigged 2020 Election... THEN, it will be revealed!  The Greatest Healthcare System in the History of Mankind! 

Owning a Gun Makes Your Family LESS SAFE. Increase in Successful Suicide, Increase in Gun Accidents and Increase in Family Members Shooting each other during Arguments CAUSE MORE DEATHS than Lives Saved Protecting Your Family from BAD GUYS.

In all the CrazyTalk[tm] this weekend one voice makes actual sense...

Joe Biden says: ASSAULT RIFLES SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. They were Illegal before and the Murder rate went down.

Stop #MAGAKillers Embroidered Baseball Cap
by gregvan

We made Machine Guns Illegal in the 1930s after Chicago Gangland Murders... Hand Grenades are Illegal... Bazookas are Illegal...

If you want to Hunt Deer, Use a Bow and Arrow... Make it a SPORT not a Slaughter... No One Needs an Assault Rifle to Kill Bambi...

March for Our Lives - Still Needed Today.
Stop the #MAGAKillers
We said #NeverAgain but Gun Nuts
 Killed Again and Again and Again!

"Rudolph The Red Knows Rain, Dear" Sung by Greg Vanderlaan Guitar Vocals... A Slaying Song about a Communist Weatherman... Rudolph the Red.

"Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by Johnny Marks and Robert L May. 
         C          Bm7        Am7         G
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
C         Bm7       Am7        G
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
Em           A
But do you recall
         A7                 D7
The most famous reindeer of all
G
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
                 D
Had a very shiny nose
D
And if you ever saw it
                      G
You would even say it glows
G
All of the other reindeer
                           D
Used to laugh and call him names
D
They never let poor Rudolph
                     G
Play in any reindeer games
C              G
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
C             G
Santa came to say
D
Rudolph with your nose so bright
A7                 D7
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
G
Then how the reindeer loved him
                         D
As they shouted out with glee
D
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
                  G
You'll go down in history
