Pot-Pourri, Hodge-Podge, Kit & Kaboodle and.... WHATEVER! :)

By Bill Craig
Just some knick-knacks today, y'all. Here goes:

1. I know that not everyone who reads my blog goes over to alz.org and clicks on the message boards, but there's some very intelligent folks over there and in addition to that our sense of humor is intact.

We were discussing politics and the fact that AD is getting short-changed in the financial assistance for research department, so I added the following "tongue in cheek" comment:

"All right then, HERE'S what we'll do:

1. Incorporate ourselves as a church or some other non-tax paying entity

2. Buy up some land. (Hell, I'd contribute to THAT!)

3. Colonize (we'd have our own doctors and nurses and get our meds sent from Canada - why should WE subsidize GM and the big banks? They don't wanna help US!)

4. Secede.

Alan, you can be in charge. I'll be your propaganda minister (I'm half German, remember?), Tom will be our Secretary of the Interior......

Who's with me on this?

I'm only HALF kiddin' y'all. There's a lot of us!

We'd open our own casino's, and use the winnings for research and AD drugs. A self-sufficient colony!

No! Don't cue the crickets!!!!!!



2. I have news (of a sort) about the "Write Oprah An E-mail To Do AnAD Show!" campaign:

Lisa, (one of our members) actually got through to a producer who told her they wanker do a show, they just don't know when. So we're "stepping" up the e-mails a bit and we're working on a "quasi-form" e-mail that everyone can click on which will have a space in the middle for your own Alzheimer's story. I'll let you know and maybe you can help us again?

3.Speaking of Oprah, I was checking with our Alzheimer's chapter and there isn't an AD telethon! I think there oughta be one, don't y'all?

Oprah would be good and who else? I was thinking Sir Paul (McCartney)..... Any other suggestions?



Remember? Adult content, right?

I need to figger out how to put smilies on this blog!

Thanks!

Bill

Hey Bill, hope your day went well. Thought about you a lot. Here is your gift. 109 pages of jokes on Toytown. Come spend some time with us, as the mix of English and German can be highly amusing. Enjoy! Jo

Thanks Jo! You have NO idea how bad I wanna be in Deutschland right now.

It wasn't a good day in that I didn't get to take the test.

The new insurance hadn't taken effect yet, so they wanted 2K dollars.

I told them to "leck mich doch, Mensch!" and came back home. It will be re-sheduled.

Oh Gosh! I know Toytown! I checked in there once before when I wanted to move back home. I will check it out again!

Thanks for the thoughts and the hugs!

My thought and hugs levels are really low right now, so they are sorely needed.

Ich schicke sie Dir jetzt virtuell ein tausend mal zurück und in realität eine million mal!

Wünsch' Dir was, Süße!

(I hope I got all of that right!)

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t

My EOAD Support FORCE

==================================================================================== I am so very fortunate to have some wonderful friends making this journey with me, and here are just three of them: That's me with my grandson Julian at the Georgia Aquarium, next is my Grand Niece Madison born just this year, and the third picture is my Grand Nephew Matthew.I call them "The Nukes" (for "nuclear family"), and as I add entries to this blog, I invite you to send me a picture to add to my EOAD "FORCE". I just wrote an e-mail to a friend in which I told her that heretofore seemingly insignificant things have suddenly become very important to me, and these "things" are "people". Wonderful people such as my EOAD buddy "Tom T" whom I met through the message board of alz.org, and whose comments you have read on this blog. Also my friend from "Down Under" who calls himself "The Loaded Dog", but who's real

President Biden Plans To End Covid Emergency On May 11th

 Is that a sigh of relief that just washed over me from wherever you are? 😃 Great! I'm glad that makes you happy. I don't want to rain on your parade, but even though we're getting out of the pandemic status, people are still dying, and the virus continues to mutate. 🙄 I know - "Party-Pooper", right? Its latest variant is "Arcturus" and it causes pink eye.  So if you get itchy eyes, you should probably take a Covid test. It probably came from India, and it's here with us, now, in at least 10 states Here  are the latest Covid figures for the US, if anyone is interested. We live in Carroll County, Georgia and the latest figures per capita show less than 10 deaths from  January 1st, 2023 through last Monday, April 17th, 2023. That doesn't even cause a "blip" on the Covid 'Radar" here, but folks are still "trickling in" to get their vaccinations and Dondra and I have our boosters and are up-to-date. So what will you do
