Somebody claims that people who fail to finish what they start are more prone to Alzheimers

That's why I want to finish off the Watchtower: I need to keep my brain.

I worked in a private health care facility for Alzheimer's residents, as a personal care worker a few years ago, all the residents, were very accomplished, wealthy professionals, many with numerous degrees and or PHD's. So, I am not buying into that theory at all. But, hey, any excuse to finish the Watchtower works! What is interesting is the strikingly high amount of blue eyed alzehiemer's patients. Glad I have green eyes!

It's all the aluminium in your drinking water that doesn't help!
Not had chance to look at the link but I think there may be some truth in the theory. Isn't it a lot about keeping your mind active and focused - therefore if you maintain concentration to complete projects, that is actually exercising your brain?
Hmm, that makes sense...
metatron - I hope your gonna go back through your history now and kill all your own threads!!

I still think there could be something to that idea, but I'm not a scientist and they don't seem to think so these days:

In the late 80's my dad was diagnosed with alzheimers. When we questioned the diagnosis because of his young age they updated it to pre-senile alzheimers. We looked at all his habits to see if we could find anything that had contributed to the condition and one thing kept popping up - pepto. He was addicted to the stuff, always carrying the chewable tablets in his pockets and mini bottles of the liquid in his car. One of the prominent, but considered inactive, ingredients in the product is aluminum. If he were alive today he could have taken any one of a dozen different drugs, many now available over the counter, for his stomach and intestinal problems that do not contain aluminum.
I just hope I don't get it. I have blue eyes but I'm not easily distrac - Oh, look at the pretty pictures on the TV...
