Is gransnet helping to stave off dementia? Lighthearted.

So true Izabella

Well some of us already have that unwelcome diagnosis, but forgive me if unable to join in the lightheartedness!

Shelmiss, I fear you are right.?

PamelaJ1 I think you’re fighting a losing battle with some on here

I’m with you though - GN has certainly been giving me a laugh recently and challenging the old grey cells.

Unfortunately I’m not so sure you can just starve off dementia we had a very close family member that walked miles ate very healthily non smoker non drinker, and still succumbed to it, and later after many many years died of it . so lighthearted it certainly was not!

Well, I was just thinking that my dear relative, who has always done crosswords, puzzles, sudoku etc, taken a great interest in some hobbies and exercised more than most, although never had any interest in having a computer, has rapidly progressing dementia.

I note the title of your thread, but from where I am sitting Dementia is anything but lighthearted, whichever way you look at it.

Yggdrasil, it’s not working for you then?

I have my threads set so the most recent is at the top.
I can't remember how I did it though :-)

Well, I have learnt something from GN
That my skim reading skills are not what they used to be.

Then, reading about everyone rushing around cleaning everything in sight, I realise that my cleaning skills have waned too

Well I’m off to clean the bathroom floor. That’ll lighten and brighten something. Might get rid of a few calories anyway.?

Better to spend time on things that brighten or enlighten your day.

Ah, so no Gransnet then, Sussexborn ?

Pamela nor does mine

Oh dear Sussex, my humour just doesn’t work on GN.

Read whatever you find interesting. There is no compulsion to read the very long diatribes if you find them tedious. Better to spend time on things that brighten or enlighten your day.

I said that exact thing on a thread this morning Maw!

I doubt it - I frequently find myself wondering if I am living in a parallel,universe.

Who wants to scroll through 17 pages before they make a comment?!
It’s fair enough to reply directly to the OP, in my view.
Yes ? probably good to do anything that involves having a think for us oldies.

I can't follow long discussions - or can't be bothered to. I always look for newish threads which haven't got too long. I"m not sure it's doing any good to my attention span!
