AD8 TEST
the ad8 test is a screening test designed by washington state
it can screen for cognitive changes in dementia
the i cant remember **** stage
it can be taken by a patient or can be administered by a family
member or friend
eg
when i take this test i get a perfect score
and when i take the sage test i do ok also
however when more advanced test are given to me thats
when the slight cognitive problems i have show up
(report-one year follow up neuropsych tests from ut southwestern
show no change in cognition over the last year)
the ad8 test will pick up someone with problems more advance
than i am eg pat summitt would probably have problems with
this test and glenn campbell
my younger brother he would probably not get any of these
correct as he is in stage 5 of alzheimers disease
go to this link to read about the test and take the test online
it can also be obtained online at this link and printed off
to be done manually
if you or a family member score poorly on this test consider
seeing your primary care provider for evaluation
DUCT TAPE
my wife she read my blog yesterday on duct tape being used
as a fly trap
she said oh no
because she knew what was going to happen today at our house
your right and shes right
duct tape hanging from the windows and doors to see if it would
work to catch those pesky flies
at least i used the christmas red colored duct tape so it sort of
looks like christmas decorations
no flies caught yet but will monitor the situation closely and will
report here if successful
FOOTBALL
its going to be a great football weekend here
it starts tonight with two good high school teams meeting in the regional
finals of 4a playoffs
they played once this season and cedar park lost by just a few points
lake travis is a machine
where do they get all those good players
should be a good game
lsu vs georgia
what if georgia wins wont they make things interesting
then who gets to play in the bcs championship game
if osu beats okla could they be there if lsu loses
texas plays baylor
rg3 tore texas up last year
he is going to be fun to watch at the next level
bet this is his last year
if texas wins they could end up with a decent season to build
on for next year
we just need a play off system like d3 schools have
wouldnt that be fun to watch
cowboys need to keep winning
can tebow continue his magic
can the texans win without a quarterback
it will be cold here and wet
the firestove will be going and the tv games will all be watched
have a good weekend
gardeners get you row cover out to cover your plants this next
week as we may see some 20s here in the austin area

Dear TOGD,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you and your wife she love each other so much. How will you feel when your wife she comes to bed in pajamas made of duct tape, regardless of color? Is that where you will draw the line? Keep the tips coming and stay warm and dry.
Husker fan.
