There were no happy movies in the 70s. It was the 70s.

To be fair, the last movie I saw was some god awful propaganda about shrinking yourself to save humanity.

The lead actress was like some sort of Asian militant type with half a leg? In former movies she would have been a side character, in every way.

However, it did have a happy ending I guess the two protagonists opted to stay out in the dying world while the Swedish or something dude that invented the shrinking process sealed his people up in a tunnel to "wait it out."

So, IDK maybe not so happy

I DO NOT recommend it.

Ahh, beach boy Glen. Amazing that he could still play and tour with Alzheimer s.

It was probably therapeutic (not so much for the listener maybe?) but they've done studies of like, putting people with Alzheimer's in their heyday years "furniture, magazines, books, music, everything" and they function way better.

There was also a place that like, stopped the "Alzheimer getting out of the perimeter and getting lost" syndrome by putting a bus stop near the exit. They would just happily sit there talking and waiting for the bus.

So since I assume the above dude's like, "heyday" was playing and touring, it kind of makes sense.

I don't know when my heyday would be, but if I get the big "A" I am going to need a few children to get paid to hang out with me, and one of them is going to have to be a 4 year old that looks like my kid. Although I like to imagine my best days are still ahead of me, who KNOWS. I'm not sure how ethical that kid thing will be but I PRAY all the time that I got my mom's side of the family's genes.

Those ladies get old. They start OUT stubborn and the GET MORE stubborn (sometimes I think this is not possible, really) but they stay completely compos mentos and they live to at least 100.

As far as I can tell I have 30 more years with my mommy. Oooo. Nah, I kid.

    Dr said the touring/music probably helped him a great deal. They stopped the tour when he could no longer remember the lyrics or his children's names. That bio was awesome if you haven't seen it..."I'll be me."

    My mother got alzheimer's at age 67, scary for me. I would rather die from anything else, actually.

    The butterfly affect is annoying for a bit, but it goes away.

    "Hashtag."

    As self-validating as this will surely sound, watching my mom has been a major contributing factor why I decided I have no interest in lowering my nic. I know it's a long shot, but on the outside chance there actually is something to nic's effect on the disease, I figure that there's very little harm in sticking with the 15-18mg that's kept even the thought of smoking away for so long now.

    I still drink "kawfee" too, and don't plan to quit that either.

    Dementia was creeping in for my mom by my age, making nicotine a helpful pal while I hopefully fend it off.
    Unless I'm too late and just unaware!:shock:

    I think the guy who invented the Darwin Awards deserves a Nobel peace prize personally.

    My husband just asked me if you could run a taco bell commercial these days with a Chiwahwah or HOWEVER you spell that (don't care) talking in a Mexican accent.

    I seek opinions. I have no clue I guess he's trying to assimilate or something? Get culturally literate or whatnot? I'm so far ahead of him from living all over the world I was kind of like... wait, what are you asking? Why would you even SAY that? Type of thing. I'm past like, trying to figure out what I as a white person can do and like, trying to learn Spanish.

    His time could be better spent. Although the whole tooth thing set me FAR back on the Spanish but I still understand a fair bit just below actual utility. Etc.

    Sigh. Too much to do. MOVING sucks.

    I have been floridly psychotic for long stretches and frankly, if the big A creeps upon me and it's anything like that (and I imagine it might be worse) I might just have to self-immolate. I don't use the BEST remedy for A at the moment but the minute I retire I just might. I don't consider that a drug, frankly.
