Think of the compassion and safety if all dementia care facilities were located on this road network...

For me it’s (just before unfamiliar major interchange) “GPS signal lost.”

The father of my friend would drive to town. Since the town he was going to was actually no longer there, he became very confused. None of the businesses he was looking for were still in town.

So, he went to his insurance agengy. They arranged to get him home. That happened several times until his driving privaledges were removed.

Yes, we had a problem with this in my family.
The doctors weren’t sure if Aunt Melba, a lifelong Democrat by the way,
was suffering from Dementia or AIDS.
She was an extremely difficult person, and an extremely difficult case.
In any case they told us how to diagnose her condition.
So:
Per orders,
We woke her up at 11pm or so and drove her, blindfolded, all the way to Bismarck, North Dakota, where she had never been, and dropped her off at a truck stop.
Alas, she found her way back.
So we shot her.

Looks like US 50 just East of Fallon, NV. The loneliest highway in America.

My mom needed to stay at our house for week because my sister needed a break.

She was here (200 miles from her house) two or three days when one morning at 2:30 my minpin (Saint Duke) started a low growl. Hmmm, SWMBO and I got up to investigate. The front door was open, and mom was out barefoot in our gravel driveway (57 stone....ouch!) looking for her car keys. She was dropped off, and hadn’t had a car in 5 or 6 years.

Our saintly minpin got a goodie for his alertness.

Small terriers are very alert.

Is this why almost ever single Biden campaign appearance is restricted to locations within an hour of his Delaware basement?

My aunt left home to go to the grocery store down the street and ended up in a Harley Davidson dealership 40 miles away. She is still mad about losing her license.

Too many recommendations to list, but we always try to get to Saluté on Smathers Beach,, and the Sunday brunch at the Margaritaville (former Westin) is always fantastic (if they’re doing it.

In a follow up article titled “Water Is Wet” the University of East Anglia examines another brutally obvious factoid.

These are some of the leading rocket surgeons and brain scientists behind the globull warming scam.

When we lived in Juneau, an elderly cruise ship passenger disappeared and could not be found - until two years later some hikers found his remains and Rolex watch halfway up a small mountain behind the building where I worked. He was nearly six miles from where the ship was docked.

Seriously? This is accepted as serious research? Brought to us by the same university that brought the hockey stick of globull warming.

LMAO.

Somebody tell me the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s. Why distinguish them as different?

My late Mother had Alzheimer’s and died from it. Other than forgetting how to eat and drink she was a healthy 92. She shut down. It was horrible.
