Okay, Stay With Me On This One (Clarification Of Earlier Entry)

By Bill Craig
Just got a message from Becks, and apparently I kinda got my "wires crossed" about DEB (Bill from Scotland), so try to follow along as I try to get myself out of this "mess", okay?

1. Yes, he is Becks' guy and he lives in Scotland and among other things, is a guitarist/singer.

2. But he doesn't have an internet radio station, another guy from the US does and goes by the name "djsarg".

3. Because I put two and two together and came up with 5, I mistakenly thought Bill had AD, which he does not. djsarg, however, does and posts on the Alzheimer's forum about his radio station on the web. Becks helped him post on the AD forum a couple of times, just as she has helped me with my probs.

4. Bill from Scotland also helped me (through e-mails) find sarg's station, which is another thing that threw me off the track.

5. Jesus, what a cluster-eff, huh? But that's my life these days.

6. My apologies for the misinformation, but the stuff about my podcast is all correct information.

7. The YouTube "In A Big Country" is for Bill from Scotland.

Again, sorry to all concerned.

As y'all was! (That's southern for "As you were!")

Bill (DAB) from "Somewhere Out There" - apparently.

I'm so sorry for all the confusion I caused you about all of this, but you got it right now.

djsarg has his own radio station set up on the website. There are several dj's that come on at certain times. When there is no dj, he creates a playlist that plays without a dj continuously, except when it is shutdown for rebooting, maintenance or changing themes.

It is shutdown right now because I think djsarg is having some medical problems and may be going or has already gone into the hospital for evaluation for aid from the Veterans. He doesn't know how much longer his mind will let him do this, and sometimes gets confused when on air himself, but wishes to continue as long as he can. So if it or he has problems, it doesn't always go so smooth.

I bring up the station when I'm sitting at my pc, minimize the player window and listen to the music in the backgound.

The thing I like about it is, he plays all different types of music, really old at times and new, also funny stuff at times.

Hope this helped to explain all this a bit better and as djsarg always says:

ROCK ON

I've been dropping by every day, and have kept voting once or twice a day for the pets. It's a bit discouraging to see Paulding slip to number 14.

Your internet radio project is cool, I'm looking forward to that.

Hugs to D and you, Bill,

Hey Margaret and Becks et. al

Margaret, yes it is unfortunate that every day, in the US, thousands of animals are turned in to shelters only to be euthanized when no homes can be found for them.

Recently, I was in one of doctors' offices when a Humane Society public service ad came on the television, and one of the waiting patients was heard to say, "Oh my God! SOMEBODY turn the channel!"

THAT person got one of my patented stares, and I held it till he dropped his eyes.

Nothing even needed to be said.

Sad, huh?

Thanmks for the link to the station Becks!

Best to Bill.

Thanks, Suzette!

My friend and dementia counsellor Suzette recently wrote a very informative (and flattering) article about the "German Boy" and his upcoming bike ride, and you may see it by clicking the title of this entry. I am very appreciative of her and the GA chapter of the Alzheimer's Association for supporting me, and my ride is dedicated to them, Alzheimer patients and their caregivers as well as the four-footers. Incidentally, D and I were finally able to attend this month's Forget Me Not luncheon (for Alzheimer's patients and their care givers) at South of La Paz Mexican restaurant in Atlanta and I'd like to thank my friend for making this possible. Really , Suzette's so sweet she makes ya wanna roll over and do all kinds of doggy tricks for her! I kid, of course, but I don't think I have ever met a more charismatic person in my life. It was also a pleasure to meet and converse with Kathy Simpson who also works with the Georgia chapter. Kathy and I have e-m

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

Alzheimer's Advocacy Forum 2011

I have been given a great opportunity and honor from my local Alzheimer's Association and my counsellors Suzette and Kathy, and I wanted to tell y'all about it. It is a chance to be granted a scholarship to attend the Public Policy Forum/Advocacy Action Summit which will be May 15-17 2011 in Washington, DC. It will be a time to become educated about the issues, learn new skills, network with fellow advocates and take our message directly to members of Congress to fight for our legislative agenda and I am honored to have been chosen to have my name submitted for this event. If I am chosen to receive the scholarship, I plan not only to participate in all of the above events, but to serve as a "reporter" and write about what I see and experience there. This will also allow me to put to use my journalistic skills which have been "moth-balled" of late. Quoting from Karen Kauffman's* article, 2010 was a year of optimism for those of us in Alzheimer's Advo
