Thank God. I thought they were going to say it was caused by Global Warming.

Like everything from Global Warming to Bad Hair Days, it’s all George Bush’s fault....

No kidding. Check out this video, if you haven't seen it:

Deranged Moonbats sob, cry, wail and primal scream over a tree stump...

(I know I shouldn't laugh, as these people are seriously deranged and need medical help, but...AHHHAHHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I CAN'T HELP IT! HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA...whew, I think I'm done, I don't-HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA...

I was also wondering about the cortisol producing properties of coffee when it was touted just last month as the best dietary preventative to memory loss.

All the 'modern' beeps, dings, whirrs, and other electronic noises (especially including *&^*^&&* cell phones!) are not relaxing at all.

Oh, quite agree. No doubt, we will soon have a diagnoses of 'text rage' as a legal defense.

That said; am always 'sensitive' - at least, skeptical about 'studies' and the 'warnings' we are thus subjected - ad nauseum - to.

There is a 'change' mindset/MO so embedded in Lib culture and like the warnings per 'global warming'; we know; or should by now; it is not just climate oriented.

Hard to believe; but then; they ARE believers; albeit; their 'Faith' is displaced/misplaced.

Yep, who was it, Obama warned America about?

So absolutely; give me the Bible clutching; gun toting. . .and spare America the 'wailers' and their ignorance. Spare us too; from their vote. . .if they ever get inside a voting booth. Which, with 'incentives' they probably do.

“I have never met one of these rare and elusive people.“

Obama appears to be one of them.

I think you are confusing “Clueless” with "Worry Free”

Actually, I read an article on sciencedaily.com about 2 months ago where a researcher took a tissue sample from an alz sufferer and injected into the brains of a dozen rats. Every single one of them developed the disease.

My money is on a bacterial/viral cause.

Sounds like it, although it could a prion disease.

There is a reason Libs love change. One is kept busy constantly adapting to revisions, alterations, learning to use new equipment, or work the latest app. It is a wonderful way to keep a populace busy, involved in distractions from a far bigger picture. Aside from that preoccupation, however is the 'benefit' of keeping large segments of the populace off-balance, which makes them maleable, too.

When one has a chance to settle down and reflect on one's surroundings, their relationships with others, to think problems through, and mull over one's relationship to their surroundings and their Creator, it is not only relaxing, but an opportunity to peel back the carefully fashioned shells and facades and peer into the abyss beyond or the substance thereof (whichever one discovers), and bamboozlement becomes far less likely.

That could put the Libs out of business if it was widely practiced.

Your post #29

The search for answers must continue.

Your positive approach to life in general has given me a lift this afternoon. Neither my wife's parents or mine, died of dementia. Her people in their sixties and mine just about hit ninety years.

We are well above retirement age and keep on a healty diet plus vitamins. Once in while cannot remember this or that. Anyway, having got the all clear about that old demon, caffein via coffee, life is pretty good. Wife cannot stand the stuff. My choice. I read my reply in part to my wife and she thinks "there are many causes to dementia". She mentioned a lady at the retirement home, where my daughter works, who has dementia and she often asks about the ferry. Long gone from twin Canadian and American citys. She is apparently happy. She talks about the dances she wants to go to the Saturday one at the military base (WW2).

A bit of a ramble, but I am sincerely glad for you. Old country saying for you.

"Turned out nice again."

On the other hand, my life has been relatively stress free ;-).

I'm assuming you meant that as a sarcastic joke.

It sounds like you might have good genes. But I am interested in whether you think that something about your attitude might also have protected you somewhat from stress.

Also, it times of great stress, would you say that you do anything to "get away" or avoid thinking about it, even for a short time.

Indeed to your full comment. We recognized the language when Michelle Obama, promised 'America' that Barack would move all, outdoing same. God forbid, this man takes 'four more'; because he then, most likely; will be America's last President.
