I’m looking forward to the day when I can play the game “guess your name” in a nursing home.

Alzheimer’s patients are so lucky. They get to meet new people every day.

similar distraction tactics have been used in nursing homes and hospitals for ages....one is that you have the ladies fold laundry.....they'll sit there and fold washcloths for hours .....
nothing funny about this .....sad that after long lives, people end up like that...

Ironically, Ronald Reagan himself cracked that joke when the doctors confirmed that he was suffering from Alzheimer's.
He didn't try to hide it from anybody, he faced it like the brave man he was, said his goodbyes to America while he was still able, and in some ways I've always felt that the Lord was mericful in sparing our 40th President from witnessing and comprehending the treasonous Clinton/Gore/Reno years and how it laid the foundation for 9/11.

It’s sad but it’s comforting for the old folks. They don’t feel useless and they don’t worry about it.

In the 1990’s, Michael Reagan once mentioned that the thing his father liked best about his Alzheimer’s is that he sometimes forgets that Bill Clinton is president.

The thing with our bodies is that we were not meant to live so long. In cave men times, 40 was ancient.
Our evolution hasn’t caught up yet.
