Hidden Dementia. Stop its advance, choice of mental activity? plenty of them.
Communicating regularly with a partner a friend or relative in an active manner such as playing board games requiring the thought processes such as Draughts (checkers) Chess, UNO, Scrabble and crosswords are but a few of the activities available for persons old and young with time on their hands, even reading the news papers help you stay on track with what is really or supposedly happening around you and the rest of the world.
Older people have their memories and love to converse with the younger set, some of it may be a trifle muddled then again what historical events aren't a a bit askew. History unfolds the main mistakes made by our forbears and that considered taboo in this mod world, although our politicians worldwide continue to make the same mistakes of the past.
It is pitiful to see elderly persons staring out in space while sitting in the old rocking chair or the like, unable to recognize the beautiful flowers in the garden which they planted a couple of years back. Most cases like this could have been so different if earlier they had chosen the options to stimulate their brain cells by becoming more active and useful in their surroundings earlier in their lives.
In our own personal lives my 76 year and betrothed 57 years and I; having recently celebrated my Fourth 21st birthday, share all the chores of the household. Every thing except fixing difficult computer problems, that is left to our eldest son Chris (Mr clever dick)Although most of the gardening is my world in which a bountiful supply of flowers and veggies (Thrive) watch out for the advert to appear soon, wouldn't surprise me.
Doing Crossword puzzles and other mentally stimulating pursuits may hide rather than prevent the progress of OLD TIMERS aka Alzheimer's disease. Evidence suggests that keeping the brain active, by reading, listening to the radio or doing puzzles can delay the onset of dementia.
But the reality could be that, even without symptoms, our brains are suffering progressive damage behind the scenes, the big problem is when the symptom of old timers do appear the disease may be further advanced than expected.

Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them ...but your grandchildren are perfect!
Going out is good. Coming home is better!
When people say you look "Great"... they add "for your age!"
The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.

"These are the best years of your life."
That’s what adults told me when I was in high school.
Boy, was that depressing. I was a tall, scrawny nerd who spent my free time tormenting the less fortunate with my good works.
Bonnie the mean girl beat me up on the way home from school for using words she didn’t understand. And my socks slid down into my shoes. If this was the best, there was no point in living.
But the nuns scared me into going on. Sister said suicide was a sin and hell was infinitely worse than being sixteen.
Now I know the adults were dead wrong.
The teenage years were a time of constant worry: What if I didn’t get a date to homecoming? What if I didn’t get into college? What if I had kids like my bratty brothers?
What if I got married and was so bored I wound up like Mrs. Halifax? She greeted the mail carrier in her black swimsuit – in January.
I don’t know any adults who would say their teenage years were the happiest. But which decade is the best? If we could do it all over again, which years would we revisit?
I’d like to look twenty, but I wouldn’t want to be twenty. We’re still overgrown teenagers. We have more money, more sex, and more opportunities to go wrong – but not much more sense than at 16. These are the years we try to work in our chosen profession. We get married or get serious about someone.
We make mistakes that we’ll live with for years.
I married at twenty-one – one of the few smart things I did during that decade. But I worked at a newspaper, which was a lot like joining the buggy whip industry in 1929.
My mother warned me about wearing mini-skirts to the office.
"It’s okay," I told her. "The office is full of old men and they’re all married."
The "old men" were forty. Most of them were married, but that was no bar to an affair.
On second thought, maybe I don’t want to look twenty.
This decade had some down sides. I dabbled disastrously in office politics. I could no longer eat like a linebacker. I had to get a gym membership and start dieting.
The forties. Turning forty didn’t bother me. Forty-one did. The morning of my forty-first birthday I felt the great weight of my age. I couldn’t get out of bed.
"I’m old," I told Don. "I’m going to die."
"Not yet," he said, cheerfully. "Get your rear out of bed and go to work."
I got over being forty-one and learned to love this decade. I came to value my friends. And I would need every one. I got fired at age 45. My friends said this was a blessing. After months of moping, I realized they were right. I started writing mysteries, a wonderful adventure. If I was fired now, like most of my media peers, I’d have to start a new career at the worst possible time.
They loved talking about operations and rare diseases.
Wish I had a dollar for every time I heard: "She had a tumor the size of a grapefruit." Why that size citrus? Weren’t there any lemon or orange-sized tumors?
Here’s another organ recital favorite: "The doctors cut him open, took a look and sewed him back up. He was dead in two weeks." Or three months. Or six. These women delighted in death sentences.
In my funky fifties, it’s easy to fall into enthusiastic medical discussions. I have to constantly guard against my own organ recital. So do my friends. Recently, we were talking about a friend’s trip to Costa Rica, then a new restaurant, and next a novel we’d read. Suddenly, we were discussing our operations.
Beverly halted the conversation. "Listen to us," she said. "We’re talking about our ailments like my granny. Let’s discuss something interesting."
"How about sex?" I said.
Silence.

Wkrótce 22 września Maria zacznie 82 rok życia, czyli w myśl reguły: "Życie zaczyna się po 80-siątce... w Internecie" jest jeszcze bardzo młoda.
Do visit MARIA in POLAND
...
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
and he was my pal VEST
WILL
I hereby make my last will and testament
Do not attempt to keep me alive by means such as organ transplants and costly medical treatments such as dialysis
Do not spend on funeral expenses, I have donated by body to medical science
I have resigned from the Catholic church
but Jesus is still my saviour
whatever assets i may have at the time of death will be bequeathed as mentioned in my legal will which will be executed by my son
Do not make my dying day a day of mourning
i have lived the good life and I will die happy
I want u guys to sing for me
