Re: OT - Ronald Reagan
It's bad that he died, but I think it's worse and really sad that his Last years had absolutly no value or pleasure through that alzheimer disease, (hope that the word alzheimer is a correct translation) the Last years (10 years or something like that ??)

Re: OT - Ronald Reagan
That is the correct translation. My grandfather went the same way.

Re: OT - Ronald Reagan
I would not want to go out that way and have promised myself that I would not.

Re: OT - Ronald Reagan
Before I get to the old folks home they BETTER have direct neural interface all worked out. I want to be playing Version 12 in all my favorite games in a virtual environment.

Maybe some of you already noticed that, but if you know somebody with Alzheimer you will see that those people are getting really old.
The few I knew became 89, 92 and one of 101, and offcourse Reagan (93).
Really sad, getting extremely old but the only thing you can still do is talking to the plants..... |

I made that promise also, the only problem with alzheimer is remembering that you made a certain promise  |
