This is going to be weird..
But, when many of were younger, we were taught certain things.
Obey your elders,
REspect those older then you,
Yes, I know Im in that generation now. But I cant tell those younger then Myself to DO THIS anymore.
Its NOT that kids know TECH better then the elders. Or any of that.
Our elders are SUPPOSED to protect us, teach us, help us LEARN and make us better.
All I see at this time, AS in the past during the religious revolts in Europe, is CORPORATE leadership that is NOT worried about the Consumer/the nation/anything EXCEPT money..
Profit margins have Soared..
Upper wages have gone to the MOON and back..
Those in charge are the Con men of the 60’s and 70’s..
These folks have instigated the changing of LAWS and made BACK DOORS into our pocket books and taxes.
I dont even need to mention ACTA, and trade agreements be done in Back rooms and under the NOSES of our own congress, to be made into LAWS.
LAWS that Threaten your PRIVACY, and the corps dont PAY for the prosecution, YOU DO. YOU are paying to be searched at the borders for Pirated Movies and music. They HAVE the right to take ANY electronic device to be SCANNED and used against you. Insted of FIXING THEIR PROBLEM of making a better distribution system.
WE are PAYING the corps thru our TAXES not to go BROKE, because they SPENT all the money, on WAGES.
We might as well be run by the Mafia. and its WORSE then being run by the Mafia.
Have fun with this, its just STUPID how our Corps are taking over the world, and WE PAY FOR IT.

Since I have come to live in in the convalescent home I have had to learn many new things. Since my last stroke in 2005 I have much difficulty getting everything to move around on my body. At first I couldn’t even speak clearly, but after much speach therapy I got better. I still have trouble , but I have gotten sorta used to the different feeling. To See what this was like just pretend sometime that you can’t move around. All of the things, you used to do you now can’t do.
especialy going to the bathroom The thought is very scary. Basically that’s what happens when you have a stroke. One of the things people don’t realize about a stroke is you have to change your thinking. As you once moved around without giving it a thought now requires a great deal of thought and attention to move certain parts of your body.
In fact you have to relearn completely new steps inside your mind to move around. God has given us a great machine called the brain. Believe it or not, you can actually re-program things that have been damaged. As for myself, I have chosen to do this. This thinking requires a great deal of effort . Typically we are not programmed to do this. So, those who are helping you need to be patient and understanding with you.
I heartily recommend this attitude. This challenge gives your mind something to focus on. Mentally, you begin to realize that you can be in control again. Now, granted the control is not what you are used to having but it is the beginning of a great life adventure.
Coffee may be good for you!!!

Further evidence has come to light that drinking coffee may have a protective effect against dementia. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are common problems in the elderly population. Although research is improving our knowledge of the underlying biology of these disorders, we still have little understanding of the “modifiable” risk factors.
Caffeine has been suggested to have a protective effect against dementia. This new study comes from the University of Kuopio, Finland and the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Miia Kivipelto and colleagues are involved in the ongoing Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging and Dementia (CAIDE) study. The team looked at figures from 1,409 adults aged 65 to 79 who had been followed for an average of 21 years. Of these, 61 had been diagnosed with dementia. Daily coffee consumption was categorized into low (0-2 cups), moderate (3-5 cups) and high (more than five cups).
Results showed that moderate coffee drinkers had a 65 percent lower risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease later in life than the other groups. Tea consumption was categorized into not drinking tea versus drinking tea. But tea drinking was relatively uncommon, and showed no links with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
