Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
😁, Yep!
I also love tiny little hummingbirds!
I love hearing birds singing. They are excellent communicators.
I was never a fan of Wendy’s show. Those kind of shows aren’t my cup of tea. I do feel badly for her. She’s had her struggles, hasn’t she? Very sad situation.
I am happy to hear that justice was served.
There was a very disturbing incident that happened here recently. A man killed his three year old son in the metro New Orleans area.
It’s absolutely tragic to see a young child lose their life.
Our crime in general has been out of control for many years. The city isn’t at all like it was when I was a child.
I was able to ride my bike all over and not think about being harmed.
Sadly she is an addict and one that could not get adequate help while she was still hosting her show. There was alot of responsibility there not only to herself but to those whose livelihood depended on her functioning properly.
It is said she is doing better now. Hopefully that is the case. She displays great entitlement. I realize dementia plays into this greatly but I think there are aspects of her previous personality that are evident. I think she is capable of being kind. I hope she finds herself in a better place.
I keep seeing the commercials for that documentary. I am not sure if I want to watch it. It looks very upsetting.
She is awfully young to be going through this situation.
I think it’s really sad that she’s going to be seen by millions of people on air in this light.
I wonder what her family thinks about this documentary being released. Do you know if they approve of it or if they are behind it?
I know that she is a celebrity but I not want my privacy exploited in this manner.
Thrilled for you!!!😁
Congrats!!
We are all proud.
It's fun to watch your success.
Thanks for sharing.
I hope your granddaughter has a very happy birthday!
I adored his comedy, especially on Curb Your Enthusiasm!
He had Parkinson’s disease. I watched my mom suffer with Parkinson’s disease. It breaks my heart to see others suffering with this horrible disease.
I just got my grade back on my toughest final project, in my toughest master's term to date, and my strictest professor gave me 100%.
She did not take a single point off for my final project in my Measurements class, which is statistical and graphing measurement strategies + field knowledge. Apparently, I've nailed it... at least at my current learning level.
That is so incredibly validating for me. I chose the most difficult topic (not purposefully), researched it, did all the analyses, wrote the paper, gave a video presentation, and got 100%.
I'm just so thrilled. It's so validating and makes me feel like I know what I'm doing... I have often felt like this academic journey is so unknown, and while I have a game plan, my stress levels sometimes make me doubt.
She wrote in all caps that it was EXCELLENT WORK. 😁
I am always sad to hear about dementia diagnosis. I am concerned for my younger brother who received a dementia diagnosis. Right now he is dealing with coping after his stroke.
I hope that one day researchers will understand these diseases better and find better ways to control and treat them. I wonder if there will ever be a way to prevent dementia from occurring in the first place.
Alva,
The discussion that I was watching was referring to how genetics can’t determine how dementia affects us. Even identical twins react differently.
Genetic studies are fascinating to me.
My husband was told that it’s helpful to do genetic testing after his cancer diagnosis. His oncologist’s nurse highly recommended it, so did the oncologist. My husband didn’t go forth with any genetic testing.
Need, Bruce Willis has very severe dementia.
And I would LOVE to know what identical twin studies show about dementias.
Tony Bennett had it for many years. An exceptionally devoted wife. Friends with Lady Gaga, Tony was. She also was devoted to him. You gotta love that!
Many more are going public, but we have a massive aging generation. That will make changes in approach over time, I think. When you look at the future job market all they can talk of is caregiving jobs.
There are lots of sports figures with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.
A doctor was just on a morning news show talking about the dementia that Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with. I never watched her television show but I know who she is.
Anyway, the doctor on the show was asked about genetics and she said that even in a set of identical twins, one twin could have a diagnosis of dementia and the other twin may not receive a dementia diagnosis until 17 years later.
Just goes to show you how dementia affects everyone differently, even in identical twins.
Interesting 🤔.
