Jeopardy was another classic hit.
As the caregiver of a father who has early onset Alzheimer's - it is much harder on the family than the affected person
Classic Weird Al parody of the Kihn song. Guess who has a cameo driving the convertible? None other than Kihn himself.
Jack Russell, Great White singer 63 - dementia.
It’s a brutal disease that just grinds you down. I’m just getting over a lot of it now
I feel like a combination of: Cinderella and Sisyphus..................Cinderella - because I am always doing stuff like dishes, laundry, cleaning, driving them somewhere AND Sisyphus - because every time I think I am done and can relax I find I have something else to do.
It does grind me (and others) down. I do it because I love him (And I take care of Mom, too) and without all they did in 2019 when I had Cancer - not sure I am here........but I got better. Dad is only going to get worse. He will be 89 on March 4. I hope I am wrong but I put it at 50/50 he is still here. His mind is OK, it is his body that is giving out. I won't be shocked if I go to wake him up one day and find out I can't - he died in his sleep.
I do get help from my siblings and S-I-L but as you know - it just wears people down.
Phil Donahue dead at 88, talk show host
Lost my sister, Louise, to Alzheimer's (my sister, Helen, was 29 when she was hit and killed by a car while crossing a busy street in Long Island). Louise went downhill fast, but she thrived out in the sun. Highly recommend sunshine and movement for all ails.
Sorry for your loss Jack. RIP Louise.
And many thanks for the reminder of this useful advice.
Best wishes.
Thanks for the good wishes Neveragain. I go to a dermatologist every month to have basal cell carcinomas zapped off my face and arms--the result of lots of sun when I was young but also five or more hours in the sun now--every day. And dermatologists will never tell you this but basal cell carcinoma is almost never fatal, but not getting enough sunshine will affect vitamin D levels, weaken the immune system, and cause the mitochondria in all our cells (except red blood cells) to be unable to produce melatonin which is needed to produce ATP. Little known fact is that the pineal gland produces melatonin at night so we can sleep, but our mitochondria also produce melatonin and it is critical to longevity. Bottom line, sunshine is just as important as exercise for living a cancer free, healthy life, Who knew? The New York Times once ran an editorial suggesting New Yorkers stay inside and avoid the sun if they want to be healthy!
Sid Eudy also known as Sid Vicious in the wrestling world died at age 63 of cancer…
so sorry to hear about both of your sister's demise.
you are right, movement so key but so many of us stay sedentary all day especially while working.
Homie, the absolute best exercise (in addition to HIIT which greatly increases mitochondria biogenesis) is squats. Even at work there can be numerous opportunities to do some squats. I appreciate your kind words about my sisters.
Johnny Gaudreau, 31, Columbus Blue Jackets, along with brother, on bicycles, hit by drunk driver in SUV. RIP
Happened on the eve of their sister’s wedding, making matters even worse.

I wonder if the wedding got cancelled?
They were still touring....Tito, Jackie, and Marlon.
A interesting side note. When I lived in Vegas, we'd see Joe Jackson at the Silverton buffet. He didn't live far from the hotel.
