lost lady, find em


LOST LADY
at a town near here a lady who lives in an assisted living home
got into her car and drove off and didnt come back
friends and family notified the police and
she got her car information put on those big highway signs on the
interstate

usually those are child abductions, lost children, or a lost old person

luckily she was found not too far away driving lost on a road near the
town where she lives
sometimes it doesnt work out this well

a few years ago a couple near here got into their car and just
disappeared
they were an elderly couple
they were found 500+ miles away off a cliff in the hills of arkansas
where they had missed a curve on that winding road and had
gone over the cliff
they were accidentally found by a hunter/hiker

a family had lost both parents and grandparents because they
were lost and kept on driving

on the alzheimers association  website-www.alz.org-there is a
section on dementia and driving resource center at this link
if you have a family member who is at risk read this link
you may save their lives
dont be afraid of offending them

my wife she and i have an agreement that when my time comes that
she will take my keys away from me
am sure i wont resist

dont let them be the lost lady or lost man and get their names and
car license numbers on those signs on the internet

am glad not being able to parallel park is not on the list of warning signs

FIND EM
look at this picture and find the man in the picture



if you find him within 3 seconds your right brain is more
developed than most
if it takes less than 30 seconds your right brain is
developed normally
if it takes more than 60 seconds then your right brain
is slower to react

well guess im a left brain person

googled, tebowed, zen book

GOOGLED
this blog has been googled
go to google
type  dr dewayne nash alzheimers

the story or the article from the austin american-statesman last week
was picked up by a lot of newspapers and internet news sites over
the weekend

the sites are from across the united states and from other countries
some of the newspapers did stories of local people fighting the
disease and coupled it with the article from the austin american statesman
that mary roser wrote
have gotten a lot of response and questions from those readers

have read stories and received stories of people in various stages
of this disesase
hope their stories are being told and hope people will listen

one of the goals is to touch as many people as i can to get out the
story of alzheimers and put some faces on this disease and to let
people know that early treatement and early diagnosis is important

thanks to all the new readers and to the older readers of this blog
keep the story going

TEBOWED
am not a broncos fan and never have been one
but did like to watch john elway play in his day

like to watch tebow play
is not a religious thing either
he doesnt fit the mould of the nfl quarterback
whatever that is
but know that he and his teams win though

those tv announcers just wont give in will they
they cant accept the fact that they are winning
isnt that what counts

at least his coach accepted the fact he was the quarterback
and changed the offense so its tailored to his skills
now they are winning
he cant pass
his passer rating was 90+ yesterday and was better than rivers
low number

tebowed
a new word
isnt tebowing what made america great
thinking and acting outside the box
what entrepreneurs did this and we all benefited

tebowed
maybe more of us should tebow things we do
and we would be more successful

ZEN BOOK
in response to multiple questions
the book is
zen shorts by john j muth
the short story is in this blog from jan 3 2011
its called farmers luck
and the reason why it was mentioned is in that blog

black friday, football

BLACK FRIDAY
am so glad i didnt do it
go to black friday
noticed a relative got a good deal on a 42 ich tv
in the middle of the night
hes skinny and probably just slid right between everyone
to get to that tv
not sure how he got it out though
guess itll be worth it later when he wakes up

cant imagine being out there today in that traffic and
in the middle of all those people
think id rather just pay the higher price and shop on
a wednesday morning at 1000
in fact thats what i do and its just me and the clerks
in the store
somethings are just worth paying for
was traumatized once by black friday but not again

FOOTBALL
was a great thanksgiving if you were the fan of the horns, cowboys
or the ravens and less if you were the fan of the aggies, dolphins
or the 49ers
good games
sorry to see the aggie-horn rivalry end
it wont be replaced by other teams
at least texas still has oklahoma to dislike
aggies dont have nobody

today the lsu plays arkansas
#1 vs #3
hogs win and they may be in
the final big game
lose and lsu is probably in
unless les screws up somewhere
alabama is waiting to just take on the winner

now aggies get to play #1, #2, #3 next year and every year
their record will probably be worse than this years record
but they still will get their payout at the end of the year anyway
isnt thats what this is all about anyway

maybe harvard yale game should be the one we should be
watching
no scholarship schools well not on paper
football at its purist in college

go hogs
