    How old is your cousin SunnyBebe? I ask because sometimes with early onset their body is still strong so people live longer after diagnosis, compared to people who develop dementia in their 80s.

    Dementia is heart breaking and mentally/physically exhausting. 

    My husband is 78 and was diagnosed with early dementia almost 2 years ago. He has progressed fairly rapidly since then. It is so heartbreaking to watch him struggle to find the words he needs and to remember people's names. He usually can't remember our 2 children. One night this week he didn't remember that I was his wife.

    Taking care of him is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. He's still home with me but I don't know how much longer that will be possible. It's an awful situation.

    Can we return Gerritt Cole, or are all sales final?

    I hope that the Astros would take him back. We need something.

  3. My daughter, the 8th-grade G&T science teacher, just got word that there will be in-person teaching this fall. Parents can opt for remote learning if they choose. So basically she has to be in the classroom with students every day and keep up with programs for the kids learning at home. We are sick about it.

  4. My daughter is an eighth grade gifted and talented science teacher and has always enriched her classes with hands-on activities. Now she won't be able to do that. Her school district is going to issue the requirements for next semester on Wednesday. Until then, she just waits. She's scared to death to go into a classroom full of kids, not knowing if they're asymptomatic carriers. We're praying that the word comes down that everything will be remote for the first month or so, then a gradual reopening. That would be the best case scenario for students and teachers.

  5. This season's Kevin is quite different from the Kevin of his original season.  Maybe it's going through a divorce and then a rigorous treatment for cancer, but he's definitely changed.

  6. IIRC, Kevin was accepted to some very prestigious school - MIT or Harvard, maybe - and turned the college down because he wanted to cook. So yes, he is highly intelligent.

    My little corner of Idaho hasn't had any cases, so even though schools are closed and my college has gone to all online classes, it's pretty much life as usual. I know that's not going to last much longer. My biggest worry if something happens to me, what will happen to my youngest son. He's 26 and on SSI because he has schizophrenia. He is also has mild autistic tendencies, is very paranoid, rarely leaves his bedroom let alone the apartment, and has no impulse control. I'm his payee and if something happened to me, I don't know how he would manage.

    I have the same anxiety. My husband has Alzheimer's and is very dependent on me. I was treated for breast cancer last year and seem to have come through that, and now this virus is hanging over all of us. I don't know what would happen to him if I were to get really sick, so we're being very careful.

    When it comes to Rob and greatness I keep coming back to the fact that he didn't win the game until his 4th on a season where the only way it could have been easier for him if he had picked the other players or the challenges himself

    As far as ranking great players, just based on overall finishing positions I would say Parvati ranks way higher than Rob when it comes to all time greats. But the show doesn't seem to consider her that way.

    Hell everyone on this season is a winner but most of the rest of them one on their first or second time. Are there any people this season who won on their 3rd time?
