b12 deficiency and alzheimers
Apparently a b12 deficiency in your elder years can mimic alzheimers disease. Good tidbit to know — perhaps there aren’t really as many cases of alzheimers as we think and maybe some people could improve because they are actually low in b12 and there really isn’t anything else wrong.

Well, I still haven’t come close to the 81 views in one day (but I think my friend Carolyn found my blog that day…) but I had 42 the other day!! A new (and more realistic record). I am also a fan of being able to track the number of hits for all time (thanks [...]

I ripped an ad out of The Economist today because I liked the copy. It read:
Blogs, vlogs, metaverses, folksonomies, podcasts.

I am now a bit more than half way through Suite Francaise, and it is just such a well written and well translated book. The story behind it? Well, it was written as a novel in World War II — the author left her home to hide in the countryside. She wrote in very small [...]

Kevin and I went to see Ice Age 2 today, and it was cute. Not as funny as the first one was, but very cute for a kids film. I like that the mammoth thinks shes an opossum and tries to sleep upside-down in the trees. Very cute.
