Something about John McCain's memory problem you should know
Now, I'm not going to make any claims that he has Alzeimers, but I did hear this from a nurse friend of mine who said she overheard the following conversation that took place between McCain and his doctor last week....

Doctor: Hello Senator, what's the problem today?

McCain: Well, Doc, I have this memory problem I'm concerned about.

Doctor: How long have you had this problem, John?

McCain: What problem?

2. Make light of this if you want, but....
the idea of another puppet Prez like Reagan (among others) does not sit well with me.

If drawing attention to this huge potential problem makes some on du uncomfortable, well too damn bad.

We need to ask ourselves which is more important...getting to the bottom of McCain's unfitness for office or having DU "look good"?

(This used to be the "underground" where EVERYONE asked these questions without worrying about how we looked to the rest of MSM.)

4. Hi Desertrose
I miss those days .

I have been very worried about his seeming "confusion " and lack of judgment.

5. Hi Jitterbug!!! How ya doin?
They were some days, weren't they??


My dad had Alzheimers...and we totally missed teh early symptoms ( not that anything would have turned out differently....) but yeah, McCain definitely has some "memory" problems....it also makes me wonder about the angry outbursts and short fuse. Volatile emotions are another flag of Alzheimers. Big worries for sure.


:hug: Good to see ya. Still in touch with Crew? We email off & on. :)

6. Hi
My mom had dementia , it wasn't Alzheimers , but the results was the same . I rationalised moms early symptoms because I could not believe it was true ! NOT MY MOM!!

I stay in touch with Crew by e mail too :hi: :hug:

I miss the old gang , but the only thing that is certain is that nothing stays the same . DU had grown so big! Sometimes I think it has outgrown this old woman!

I e mail Sugah occasionally too
