    I can't believe Vin Scully outlived Bill Buckner and Gary Carter.

    oh that sucks...

    but why did he get dementia? it doesn't just hit people for no reason that aren't older than 60's that commonly does it?


    did he play a more contact sport in school as well? maybe a bunch of fights and concussions? or just random?

    Jibby, do you have some trusted family members that you can create a pact with?

    i'm not sure, a person can figure out when its time once you go down the dementia road.

    who will take care of you when you are older and losing it Jibs?

    Bill Buckner passed away early the morning of May 27th surrounded by his family. Bill fought with courage and grit as he did all things in life. Our hearts are broken but we are at peace knowing he is in the arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."Bill was 69.

    Advanced age is considered to be the greatest risk factor for Lewy body dementia, with onset typically, but not always, between the ages of 50 and 85. Some cases have been reported much earlier.

    I'm an island and the youngest so I'll probably live the longest in my family. If I don't meet a younger chick and settle down and am an old fart losing my mind I'll hire someone to take care of me. If I don't have the smarts to do that and lost my mind already then I'll fall over one day and probably die in my own shiit and piss.. That's life!!!

    RIP 69 is too young. He shouldn't have had to carry the weight of an entire city for so long.

    Dementia, Alzheimer's,and heart problems are ALL due to diet. Fat globules that connect to red blood cells that thickens the blood flowing in the heart and brain.

    This guy was the leading Cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic. He's seen and treated more hearts than all of SBR combined. You can believe him or your family and friends...

    I was rooting for the Mets but Bill Buckner was a great baseball player. Anyone who defines his career by that one error, doesn't know much about baseball .. Damn, life is too short. You don't know when youre time is and its a scary thought. Keep getting regular checkups and live as though you'll live to 100. I got that middle age crisis. ( 48 in October with poor family history). I try to shrug it off and stay active and fit. Can't worry our lives away.

    I noticed I have a little short term memory issue that pops up. Went to neurologist and I'm good. Keep testing your mind whether it be a quiz, puzzle, repeating what you need to do( tasks). Push the stress away. Someone said cbd oil but I'm appehensive. Stay positive. Always someone who has it worse. Where Buckner and Scully are concerned, genetics may play a role. Have faith in god. I know that I do

    would be something if one way u could develop it by trying to block something out of ur mind, the irony, spect he fought tooth and nail to not remember that one play, I dont remember a single play that I prob seen more over my lifetime than that ball between the legs the sports networks never let that die
