Official "I had no idea thread"

[Yaj Yak]

It is one of those exact same BS situations. There was some study done a while ago on a specific species of animal(can't remember which one) and they were a species that was very sensitive to metal poisoning to begin with. They were poisoned from aluminum and shit blew up about how aluminum is hurting us. Turns out there is zero evidence or support for that study to cross over to humans. Even people that have high exposure to aluminum like those that mine the stuff of drink tea all of the time show any evidence to support that aluminum claim. That entire idea is the definition of nonsense.

I guess my BS guard is likely down in this regard because my g-ma has it, and while i absolutely know it's genetic properties and understand that... i guess i illogically want something else in my brain to blame and stay away from.


such a terrible fucking disease.

My grandpa had Dementia near the end of his run. not full blown Alzheimers but close.

"Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Memory loss is an example. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia."

there were times he would sit and stare at the corner and yell "at the guys working in the fields" he was born early 1910's and was a WI farmer, iv'e seen the farm house he was born in.

He would wave at the kid with no legs next to you, or the cat walking around his house. he had no pets.

full blown alzheimers is mindfucking dude.

my g-ma has no idea who anyone is, she has no idea how to use silverwear, she has no idea who her children are, what state she is in, etc.

she got moved to a really nice facility in montana 4-5? years back from florida and had no idea what state it was back then basically.

to add insult to injury, she's totally physically healthy.

Been watching my Dad decline the last few years is really getting to me... Starting to think he might be heading towards some mental issues soon. Ugh.

I can’t imagine. there were good days, and bad days. and I'm sure the home we had him in didn't help much. he was on air all the time. there were times we would go in and his tank would either be empty, or they cranked up how much he could get because is o2 or Co2 levels were low (can’t remember which as it was so long ago). but the problem with that is when you give too much, it’s SO much worse than low levels, that is what causes low levels. me as a 12-13 year old had to YELL at the nurse that they were causing him to be how he was. good help comes at a cost though, and we couldn’t afford to put him in a good place.

or the nurse that didn’t want to come help him when he said he was in pain. the depends they put him in was crimping off the catheter tube backing it up.

I am sorry to hear that man. It really is a shitty card to get dealt. Maybe one of these days they will finally figure something out with treatment or prevention.

 

[Flyn]

There is a ton of research going on and potential fixes from stem cells or other treatments are being investigated. Still nothing close to being successful at reversing Altzheimer's but it's a matter of time and money.

 

[Yaj Yak]

the genetics portion will be key for the prevention part i feel.

 

[Flyn]

I agree. Genetics and old age brain cell deterioration reversal. Fix the people who are genetically prone to the disease and then come up with methods to keep older brains healthier which would benefit everyone.

I had no idea that Police Academy from 1984 was rated "R". Guess I need to go watch it again as its been a LONG time since I've seen it, though I remember seeing it as a kid and not thinking anything of it.

I had no idea how much money a Taxi Medallion cost.

I suppose this could also go in the Fuck thread too.

On a corner of 86th Street and East End Avenue in Manhattan on Sunday, three posters for a missing man were still hanging on a lamp post about a block from the East River.

That was where the police found the man’s parked taxicab, the biggest investment of his life. The man, Yu Mein Chow, had taken out a loan seven years ago to buy a $700,000 medallion that gave him the right to operate a cab.

Mr. Chow, 56, who lived in Queens and went by the nickname “Kenny,” disappeared on May 11. His body was found floating in the East River about nine miles south, near the Brooklyn Bridge, on Wednesday. Friends and family members believe Mr. Chow jumped to his death, adding to a string of apparent suicides of traditional taxi and livery drivers in the city. It marked the fifth suicide in just over five months. The medical examiner has not yet determined a cause of death.

There’s a recent planet money episode talking about taxi medallions. Check it out.
