3. I knew it! My mother had Alzheimer's disease. She worried all her
life about something, and I am afraid I am following in her footsteps. I worry that I will get it! I have already told my children if it happens, stick me in a nursing home, leave, and forget about me. I will not know who the hell they are.

4. My, my, you are a worrier! Settle down and be happy!
But don't worry...my mother also died of Alzheimer's and she never worried and was always positive. I think that study is BS...so stop worring. It's very worrisome that you are so worried...but I'll try not to be worried just in case they are right.

5. Don't tell my girlfriend...
Had to endure 6 hours tonight of her griping about how much life sucks WITHOUT that little news factoid thrown in the mix....My ears hurt.
