I was aware of this. I think there's something of a heriditary concern as well. In which case I am doubly sca-rooed.

I've already made it clear to people I trust. If I develop Alzheimer's, take me back out the woods and put two in my brainpan. I will not put anybody through watching me slowly degenerate mentally. I've lived through it, and I won't have anyone living through it on my account, hell no.

Reagan wasn't fat so this can't be true.

One more time for the drive-by media; correlation does not imply causation. Without a controlled study these little tidbits mean nothing.

He wore a girdle. To go with his hair dye. So STFU.

Controlled study? Perhaps one should read said article before boofing.

"Their study tracked 6,583 people in northern California for an average of 36 years starting when they were ages 40 to 45. Their abdominal size was measured at the outset of the study.

A total of 1,049 of them -- nearly 16 percent -- went on to develop Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia by the time they reached their 70s. Those in the upper 20 percent in terms of belly size in middle age were almost three times more likely to develop dementia than those in the bottom 20 percent of belly size, the researchers found"

We are all DOOMED!!!

Well, no one here gets out alive.

Letusreason, we see it happening in your posts every day you are here......(that explains a lot).

What?

Dont worry, larry,

One day, pot bellies are going to be all the rage.

Then, me and you will be GODS!:)

So maybe Cheney really was asking "so?"?

well I guess I had better get back on that diet. so is anyone else worried about this.

but anyway...maybe I had better get back on my diet.....but .....

oh never mind....
so what will I get because of my enormous penis???

( come on boys....I couldnt give one any easier than this....LOL)

Ride_on, re your 1753 from yesterday: you mind explaining that, bud? Or are you just being an ass for no reason other than to be an ass?

Ride_on, addendum:

Actually, I'm beginning to think you're right. I came into the office this morning, first thought in my head was "Damnit, I forgot to bring my lunch"... forgetting that I had the bag in my hand... with the lunch I'd prepped... last night.. and put in the fridge deliberately so I wouldn't forget it.

Yeah, you know what, I might owe you an apology there. I hope not, but I might. Hell, the mildly elevated ALT levels in my blood/plasma are scary enough for me as it is.
