I have to be honest, if I were diagnosed with dementia, I’d probably drink until my body gave out. The only thing worse than dementia (as a caregiver to someone with dementia) is Parkinson’s or ALS, where you’re trapped in your own body. At the very least, dementia patients don’t know once they hit stage III or stage…

There still has to be some sadness there. Even if you’re not close to someone, when they die, you’re losing the potential to fix whatever was between you.

Just dismiss whatever he responds with. He’s a pointless troll, desperate for attention.

Dude, if I don’t want to give money to an anti Semitic, wife beater, I don’t have to. When he comments on other people hypocritically, I get to comment on it. Until Donald Trump takes it away, I have the right to the 1st amendment.

I don’t give a shit if it was in private (and for the record, the terrible Anti semetic stuff and calling a police officer “sugar tits”, was in public), you don’t say it at all, let alone to the mother of your child. You can say she’s terrible and maybe she is, I’ve never seen her speak in public. But to talk to…

Or they’re pointing out that using mental illness as an excuse for poor behavior is a dick move. Having a mental illness doesn’t make you an asshole but sometimes assholes have mental illnesses. Mel Gibson’s behavior, including him blaming the police officer and his child’s mother for his behavior, shows that he’s…

Is it really a high horse to mention the fact that you’ve never used a racist slur while in the middle of a breakdown? That’s a low bar for referring to someone as being on a high horse.

If Mel were truly contrite, he would accept the entirety of the blame. There wouldn’t be any mention of an “unscrupulous police officer” or calling his child’s mother a gold digger (albeit in coded language). People can change but I dont think Mel Gibson has really changed.

Sorry but that’s not an apt comparison. People suffering from dementia can’t control themselves, their brains aren’t functioning. What do you suggest we do as a society? Thank them for their years as a functioning member of society and lock them away? Depression is an aggravating factor in dementia and by isolating…

She sexually assaulted her own daughter for years. The story is so fucked up, my stomach turns just thinking about it years after I read it.

It’s funny, he and John Cusack were best friends from childhood. All of a sudden, around the time of Entourage, they stopped hanging out. Kind of give credence to Piven turning into his asshole character from Entourage.

It’s really so difficult. Because my mom has early onset, people look at her like a crazy (only slightly old) lady and don’t think she could have dementia. And the word is totally a trigger for most of them so trying to hint at it is the worst. After the car seat incident, I started carrying around the “My companion…

I meant to add that as a caregiver, you’re walking a really fine line. On the one hand, you’re encouraged to keep them active in the things they enjoyed before they got sick and encouraged to take them out and not make them feeel like they’re sick or a pariah. But on the other hand, you’re expected to shield society…

I’m really shocked that a dementia daycare has a no assault policy. Those daycares are a lifeline for caregivers and it really sucks that they could lose it because their LO can no longer control their behavior. A woman in my mom’s Assisted Living started touching herself while they watched a movie. The caregiver,…

I took care of my mom, who has early onset Alzheimer’s, for years. Logically, you know it’s not them and they can’t control their actions but when that dirty diaper is coming right at your head, it’s hard to not be angry about it.

On the Tambor front, I’ve heard from a secondhand source that he might have the beginnings of dementia. Not that it excuses his behavior but it’s actually really common with dementia patients; they lose boundaries and forget what’s appropriate behavior.

I have a libertarian neighbor and he’s a douchebag. I can’t imagine living next door to the face of libertarianism; he’s probably he’s extra douchey just to prove what a libertarian he is.

I learned recently that the federal government received a bill from a private citizen for $300k because his “mature boxwoods” had to be torn up so they could make sure his house didn’t fall down. Rich people think their trees are worth $300k. 😂

Is Isagenix the new AdvoCare? That shit was everywhere for a minute. Usually followed by #blessed.

I’ll check all of these out, thank you!
