So What Do YOU Think?

By Bill Craig
Do you think Howard Hughes might have had Alzheimer's????

There are no pictures of his late days (that I could find, anyway) but here is an artist's rendition of what he may have looked like during them:



He sure did some goofy shit during his life, didn't he?

And goofier shit toward the end of it, fer sure!

My two favorite things he invented were:

1. Jane Russells's bra:



Oh, Christ, didn't she cause "inflation" of a certain section of my pubic bones???? And I never missed the Sears & Roebuck catalog after I saw Jane!

Hamana-Hamana-HAMANA! Only guys know that sound and what it represents!

2. "The Spruce Goose":



That thing only flew for a few minutes (look it up), but he sure thought BIG, didn't he?

So that brings us to yours truly, and his "ailings".

I know some changes have already happened:

1. I forget shit

2. I no longer give a shit... and

3. I have taken a liking to foods whose names end in "A-Roni"!

I'll keep y'all posted. Just don't give me any shit, 'cause I don't take no shit, because, in the words of the late and great George Carlin, "If I gave a shit, that would mean I would have to pack shit, and I don't pack no shit, so I don't give a shit!"

And here's a little George for your edification:




Time's winding down, Chirrun. Only 5 more days.... If there's a miracle coming, let it happen soon and thanks for clicking!

When you start walking around using tissue boxes for shoes, and keeping all your bodily fluids in little jars around some heavily guarded hotel room, like he did -- then I'll start to worry, Bill.

As for the "hamana hamana" thing -- gals who watched a lot of American 'toons on the telly box know what that signifies, as well. ;-)

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

==================================================================================== 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

 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
