Eh. Could be worse, IMO.

[kallanda_lee]

Yeah, came here to say.

Fun story!

[randomdrops]

Do you remember those CD "deals" in magazines etc where you'd get a subscription or whatever amount of CDs for "only 99¢? Well, I remember signing up for that and the first CD I ordered (and subsequently the first CD I ever owned) was Green Day's dookie. Just a weird memory that is forever stuck in my brain.

So yeah, I'll probably be right there with you mumbling about 90s X-Men and Green Day, because that's apparently stuck like cement in my brain.

HA, omg. I remember when you got *cassettes*.

Re: Fun story!

[randomdrops]

Yes! I actually had a few cassettes, but mostly we'd get blank ones and try to time it right while recording songs from the radio. Oh the struggle! Then we'd have fun filling space on tapes with our own radio show.

Re: Fun story!

[tabaqui]

Ah ha ha, oh yes! My sister and I sitting and listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 and doing our best to record *all* of 'Dreamweaver'....

Fun times.

Oh, good, we'll be buckets of crazy together. :D

Meanwhile,

[(Anonymous)]

I will be singing commercial jingles (My bologna has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R) and TV show themes (Baby, if you've ever wondered, wondered whatever became of me, I'm living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati W-K-R-P) and ranting about a stupid Family Ties plot which was actually a Growing Pains plot. Which I'm totally okay with.

Re: Meanwhile,

Maybe you and me were never meant to be; just maybe think of me once in a while.

Re: Meanwhile,

[(Anonymous)]

Memories helped me hide my lonesome feeling; far away from you and feeling low; It's getting late my friend, my love, I miss you so; take good care of you, I've got to go.

[(Anonymous)]

Speaking of Xmen and madness, I just saw Logan... I would like to think I'd end up the kind of whimsically senile bitty that recites Taco Bell commercials. :)

There is nothing "inevitable" about dementia. There are risk factors, sure, but the idea that it just happens to all old people eventually is dangerous tripe.

[(Anonymous)]

And maybe OP has so many risk factors in their life they know they're bound to get it indeed.

[(Anonymous)]

OP here - no, I'm pretty sure it's inevitable in my case. I say this as a nurse specializing in gerontology; I'm well aware of the risk factors, and the specific stresses of my job (which, by the way, I love) is a major one. There's also family history and some other things that aren't really under my control.

You are correct that dementia is not inevitable in the general population (confusion and delirium, however, will probably happen to pretty much everyone under several precipitating common conditions, but those are reversible), and that while somewhat common it is absolutely not a normal part of aging. I'm just pretty sure it's inevitable for ME. Haha.
