KNOW THE 10 SIGNS # 3
difficulty in completing  familiar tasks at home, at work,
or at leisure.
people with alzheimers often find it hard to complete
daily tasks     sometimes, people may have trouble
driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work
or remembering the rules of a favorite game

whats typical or normal
occasionally needing help to use the settings on a
microwave or to record a television show
glad thats typical    my wife she has to do all of that

he was involved in the founding of special olympics,
peace corps, head start and job corps

a 2% tax cut this year     there is a decrease
