:huh:

 

i was totally lost reading that last comment

 

re: Alzheimer's Disease?

:D

Yeah ... I pretty liberally use block. Sometimes it's just necessary ... like a verse in a Jay-Z rhyme.

i just change names :lol:

I'm not a big fan of changing names ... but then again since i have the work-aspect to my msn use it doesn't serve me as well.

:rolleyes:

Richard! I'm so glad to see ya :) That was very well said' date=' you're just about the nicest guy I could dream up. Welcome back :D[/quote']

 

You only say that because you don't know me well enough.

 

In truth, I'm an evil wizard that lives in a stone castle. I have an orange cat and spend my days searching the forest outside my residence for little blue creatures which I can melt into gold.

 

I'm in a program: a support group. The group is called "Men Being Better Men" and we meet once a week in the basement of the Y. I'm getting better, but ...

 

... what the heck am I talking about again?

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: See, now THAT'S why I missed you ;)

no doubt about it :sneaky:

What's your theory on Alzheimer's?

 

Plaques, but it's not really my field of expertise. I know that a lot of studies are being done into other possible causes, but it seems to me that an explanation that sees those as ancillary causes is more plausible at this point.

 

 

OHhhhhh! first off...howdy, Richard, and welcome back. I only guessed about that UC-SD part, but I guessed right, ...ermm, I guess. :lol:

 

Actually, PBS just recently had a show on Alz... and it was amazing to watch a part of it. And yep, they were discussing plaques, and how this substance is so small that we still can't see it. So basically, there is research on to try to find a chemical that will go into those parts of the brain, bind to plaques for a short time and make them "visible" and then un-bind and get out of the system w/out causing any harm to the brain. Then, the doctors would at least start to know what it is that's causing the disease. They'd see their enemy, as it were. Then it will be easier to thwart that enemy.

 

I'm just very bad in biology and stuff like that, but otherwise, this subject is very interesting!

want classes of biology? :wink3:

:lol: nah...the last class in biology i took was in 10th grade in high school...long, long time ago :stunned:

ok, ive just remembered that my friends told me to become a teacher in university...hahahaha :sneaky:

The tape of this program has been making the rounds at work. I haven't seen it yet, though.

i think you'll find it to be very interesting :smug: unless, of course, you already know half the stuff, being an expert in that field..

Actually, I don't know anything about the disease itself ... I'm in informatics. I give access to information. I dont actually KNOW the information :D
