Early warning signs of dementia. They're all demented. I'm sure they were the template for the Dementors in Harry Potter's world.

Now, IF you did not recognize the sarcasm in that paragraph, get thee to a neurologist IMMEDIATELY. And on THAT, I am NOT joking or sarcastic.

Dementia is no joking matter. Those who have to provide care for those so afflicted deserve a Medal of Honor. My sister's life has changed immensely. She can't be gone from home for very long because her husband simply forgets to eat. Never once has she complained. She simply provides what he needs with love and compassion.

I'll have to ask if Larry voted Republican. (More sarcasm and now not quite so amusing.)

Now, TB, don't get on your high horse. This was done for a very good reason. It's newly reported research and important for people to realize if they or anyone close to them may be getting the early symptoms.
