Alzeimer's no, but I do have a bad case of C.R.S.
I get it ;D often.


C.R.S = Cranial Rectal Syndrome    ;D ;D ;D

I know of a guy who sometimes suffered from Anal Glaucoma.  He couldn't see his ass showing up at work.  His boss thought it was the funniest thing ever and took him out for lunch even though he called in "sick" that day.

Didn't find the C , 6 was easy and N took me just a couple of seconds

Maybe my wife is right and I have Alzheimer; she also say I'm deaf, her diagnostic is Testicular Deafness, because I really hear but based in my own XXX  I don't do what she says  ;D

I found them too but now I am suffering from the dreaded C6N virus. Can't remember what that is though  ;D

I recently read a thread right here at this forum called "Anyone here have Alzeimer's?".

I can't recall whom posted it but, there was a test of some sort to figure out something about the disease.

I can't recall now why I am posting about it.

All I know is that it's a tragic and horrible thing when someone you love doesn't know who you are. Gets lost in their own back yard or tries to convince their family that they have recently had a child birth and sprinkles baby powder on a "doll" wrapped in cloth on the bottom drawer of their chest of drawers.

Alzheimer's seems funny but it is a very serious and disturbing disease.


I found the "N" but It was indeed harder than the first two. ;)

I know it was good fun and all of you feel safe, but,
I don't think it has much to do with Altzheimer.

I had a far Nephew of Altzheimer knocking on my door.
The sh.......se said he wanted to move in.
It took me 6 months of medication to get the ba...rd back where he came from

Now, what was his name again....? Give me a minute, ......

Why do we laugh and joke about it, because we are afraid of it.
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.

No Grandpa

First, as a candidate for AD, I have 2 choices.
1--be afraid, cry, feel sorry for myself, trouble other people ( 20 year in advance )
2--laugh, joke, worry as less/little as possible, hope they find better medication than the brown nuggets we have now, hope for a cure or something nearly as good as a cure for our Kids and friends who are still young, and who are at risk as much as you and me, but still don't know it.

But yes, maybe some people try to put their fear to rest by joking about it.

I know the frustrations already, and this is just the kind of thing I wish to my worst enemies, instead of the death penalty .

Oh yes, let me go back to the kitchen. I think I was pealing potatoes.

I found the three easy enough.


Once a person get past 50, little bugs to the system start to show up.

A brother of mine died this last spring, due to Alzheimer.  He was only 67.
One of the few things I've learnt as growing older.  Is to choose your battles.. but never loose sight of the war..!

I failed the first and made the other two easily but as with all the tests, they test several things and that obscure the results ADD and some eye problems may get in the way and I have both.

BTW I have never be able to see those 3D pictures showed in stores, eye problems, you know

@Crow.    I have a similar situation.    I tell my wife my hearing is just fine,  I have a listening problem with her voice.  My audiologist agrees with me, and he just fitted her with hearing aids.  With hearing aids she talks softer and now I can't hear her a lot of the time   :(  :(  :(

I found all three as well, but as I get older, I find that my memory isn't as good as it once was (as Sanka said, "little bugs in the system.") My father had Alzheimer's and died at 80.

 ;D ;D I think CRS is the same as HUA (Head Up XXX)  ;D ;D


As long as you are using your brain (reading, working puzzles, playing challenging games, maybe even packaging software...), I think you have a much better chance of keeping it away.
