For all the shit everyone gives Florida, they actually have Silver Alerts (like amber alerts but for the elderly) to help combat this.

Yes nit does but its like a Herculean task to get people to help fund research for it.

To be fair to our health system, there are stories of this happening in Japan, which does have a nationalized insurance system. Dementia just sucks... :-(

I know and brain studies are the first to get cut. Senior living centers and nursing homes are sometimes tortuous. My sister and I are making financial arrangements to make sure our parents are ok but not everyone has that option.

This just makes me really angry that our health care system sucks. It happens so often and it shouldn't.

Yes. As a vegan who gets hangry in an often vegan unfriendly world I carry protein bars and nuts with me like I'm hiking no matter where I go.

Oh god. This is really sad. A lot of older people go missing in Florida and there's so many that have dementia and Alzheimers.

Man, I tried this when I was like 13 at the behest of the internet, and Jesus Christ my clit got pulverized by that water pressure. Never again. Do you people have steel clits or something?

One of my guy friends is a big, beefy Welsh rugby player with a twice-broken nose and he hates beer - hates it. This is not seen as normal for a guy living in London. He constantly and consistently will go to pubs and bars with mates and while they order in rounds, he'll order the pinkest, fruitiest cocktail they do.…

I was going to say, a good Mai Tai has at least two fingers of rum.

I want to drink with this Jackson fellow. He seems like the type of guy I would enjoy throwing whiskey at.
