"Death is only the beginning" is one of those fuzzy, comforting cliches that are based on nothing but hot air.

Personally, I prefer "death is the ultimate healer."

Harleys (aka Hardly Ableson) are not motorcycles, they're fashion statements!

   Yeah, but you guys don't quite get what I am saying about a nursing home.

   The key is, if diagnosed with early dementia...I wouldn't wait until it got to the late stage. At that point, it would be too late.

   No...no... You see, in the early stage, I would get a motorcycle, take it to the Grand Canyon along with a bottle of Tequila and watch the sunset. Then I'd fire up the bike (Harley, of course), floor the accelerator and attempt to be the first to jump the canyon on a motorcycle.

No fair copying Thelma and Louise.

You sound like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer:  "Your world -- it frightens and confuses me!"

I know is not proved yet, but I think a player with such many years of activity and the level you have reached can't be diagnosed with dementia.

On the way down, as you float towards eternity, gliding, floating, ethereal, eternal, you wonder, "did I clear my Firefox cache or will they know I liked midget pr0n"

  Interesting. I've only watched that show a very few times. Cute? I guess. But I generally don't care for dumbed-down sitcoms.

 

You do know that was a movie, not a sitcom, right?

--- Thanks for the new posts.

Dementia setting in ! A fine thing to mention in a thread about age and such. What is next ? ( adult - diapers I expect  lol ). Oh by the way, did I say thanks for the posts recently ?

Okay, but I notice that these talking cars try to confuse you too. The car might tell you " Your door is ajar ". Impossible ! A jar is a jar and a door is a door, everybody knows that  lol.

" My Mother, the Car" (a dead mother's reincarnated as her son's car so she can talk to him while he's he driving) -- now That was a bad sitcom!

---Thanks for the post Mother-in-law. Yes that show was so awful that it was almost funny, but I guess someone approved it at the networks.

Sure it is possible, even alzheimers is possible.

ALL sitcoms are bad IMO.  Personally I think an "h" should be added between the 1st "s" and the "i."

I get the feeling you don't like sitcoms.

I like your choices -- but, what? no sitcoms from the '80's on except for "Married with Children?"  What about Cheers?  Newhart?  Frasier?  Wings?  Grace Under Fire?  Coach?  Malcolm in the Middle?  30 Rock?  The Office?  The Big Bang Theory? .... I admit, the list tapers off ....

Hi Bob!

Oh!  You Remember the famous old "Hi, Bob!" drinking game!  -- the one spawned by the original "Bob Newhart Show."  I only learned about the game Years later, and I felt really left out of the whole thing.

I'll leave this subject as soon as I've paid proper tribute to the three famed "Anything for A Buck" brothers from Newhart's second show "Newhart:"   

"Hello.  I'm Larry.  This is my brother Darryl.  And this is my other brother Darryl."  (Can't you just See the Darryls, as they each silently "salute" hello to Bob?!)  No matter how bad a day I've had, that memory always puts a smile on my face and a spring in my step! ;-D
