Hello and welcome to National Memory Screening Day! The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America is offering free testing to promote early detection of… you know. Memory Loss.
Participating locations include hospitals, shopping malls, churches and that place with lots of books. Libraries.
The screening is free, and includes a series of questions and tasks that test your memory in the areas of language skills and thinking ability, and are performed by a range of qualified healthcare professionals including social workers, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, who have often themselves earned a Doctorate of Nursing Practice degree.
Test:
- How much does the screening cost?
- What does the screening consist of?
- Who performs the screening?
- How many years does a nurse practitioner go to school?
The screening isn’t just to diagnose Alzheimer’s. Memory loss can be attributed to many things, such as vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, and consuming too much red wine moments before trying to sleep and then tossing and turning until 5am at which point your alarm clock is only one hour from ringing, and what was Bossy saying?

I was going to leave a comment but I forgot what I wanted to say.
I had planned on going to that, but I forgot
I’m over 60 (pretty sure of that), so I’m allowed to be forgetful. If it hadn’t started in my 20s, I’d be even more allowed. To do something. I think.
What?
I will not make a joke about forgetting things.

I will not-
Aw hell — I have to wonder how challenging it is giving these tests to folks. If it’s anything like my mother in law, it’s gotta take FOREVER.
The logo is kind of strange. I guess the heart is friendlier than imagining it as arms reaching to catch a brain before it floats away.
My uncle had a very aggressive form of Parkinson’s. Ate his memory after scrambling his reasoning ability for a while. Had been a CPA and a fine one.
Some meds will screw up mental functioning. People are quick to give old people all kinds of wicked drugs. Just keep adding more on. Learned that with Mom.
Sleep is definitely a necessary thing, as Bossy knows and tells.. I hate when I have to get up extra early and toss and turn looking at the clock to see how much longer I have to sleep!! Doesn’t happen too often, but don’t even know why I bother setting an alarm for that stuff.
Is it ok to like the Logo, cuz I do. As an artist I appreciate the smoothness of the image. As a human, I appreciate the metaphor. There could be a quilt in there somewhere.
Did you know that Alzheimer’s is caused by your brain being unable to um, crap! What was it? Oh, yeah! Get ri d of these proteins that clog it up and the brain is genetically worse at taking care of those proteins sometimes. Eeeeek!
My dad had Alzy and he used to say, when trapped in the mire of his murky brain, “Babe. This memory of mine. It’s crap!” God bless that old guy. The most graceful fragile confused grounded person I’ve ever known. Watching him fade away before my very eyes branded me to be compassionate for the rest of my days.
re: the logo…
You’re looking down into a martini (with olive and heart-shaped swizzle stick). Because honestly, what says forgetfulness better than a big glass of gin?
