A must read for caregivers — “A person immobilized by dementia has the potential to change a life with merely a glance or a touch”

A must read article for caregivers! This article brilliantly describes the stigma of being both elderly and having dementia. Yes, those of us with dementia can still have an impact of others. More

61, Lewy Body Disease and the 10 Commandments

I’ve just discovered this website. Very nice. This link is for Lewy Body Dementia but it can be used for other info as well.

And thanks to my best man, Ed, for sending me this email. It’s a nice abbreviated form for those of us with dementia! Wink

Ten Commandments

Some people have trouble with all those ’shall’s’ and ’shall not’s’ in the Ten Commandments.. Folks just aren’t used to talking in those terms. So, in middle Tennessee they translated the ‘King James’ into ‘ Jackson County ‘
language…..no joke (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro , TN ).


(1) Just one God
(2) Put nothin’ before God
(3) Watch yer mouth
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin’
(5) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(6) No killin’
(7) No foolin’ around with another fellow’s gal
(8) Don’t take what ain’t yers
(9) No tellin’ tales or gossipin’
(10) Don’t be hankerin’ for yer buddy’s stuff


Sshhh. Today is my 61st — Birthday Cake

Warmly……….David
