Let's all hope so, then they'll sound as ridiculous as they look.
From what I've seen they need little encouragement.
Go on stick another 10mg in it cant be any more fatal.

Please don't joke about alzheimers. It is a terrible thing. I agree though about the botox users. It isn't attractive.

I'm not joking about alzheimers I know it is a terrible thing, my Grandma went that way in the end, although she was 100 but at least she had the dignity of looking 100 and not 45.

Maybe they should consider it in your case.

Or the fruit case case of most Americans, you are the real big users of the wonderful "youthful" drug I hear.

You see,we just get old and decrepit and even more sick of our neighbours as the years go by.

My grandfather did also. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I even have some sympathy for Nancy Reagan, although I wish she wouldn't have hidden her husband from the world. I think she could have drawn a lot of support to a search for Alzheimers treatment, prevention, possibly cure? Anyway, I'm sure that is a personal decision. I am not suggesting that she should have put him on display, just to try to raise awareness, and not act as though it is a shameful condition.

Alzheimers is dreadful I agree, My Grandma could remember 50 years ago and yet not what happened five minutes ago. Short Term Memory Loss is the worst don't you think. I can see why though, having stored something for years on end you are least likely to forget and yet the immmediate is more important, She almost burned the house down once with a pan on the stove, well not once, several times. Anyway I'd like to go that way in a way, forget everything for the past forty or so years. Ignorance can be blissful.

Well, if we get "oldtimers" as I like to call it, we will be happy in our own heads singing Morrissey tunes and won't know beans of the rubbish they will be playing in that future time.

The care givers may say, "what a poor old sod, but at least he can sing a decent song."
