My mom does play sudoku, but far more on FaceBook

Ya not easy,likebi said more advanced. That's an understandable as you want the best for her. If you can try to get her more interested in seeing other family,that helps some. At least she does games thats good,helps keep the brain active

I should also state my dad is in the beginnings of Alzheimer's, so we started him on meds 2 months ago and it has kept it stalled for now.

Try to find something she is interested in that might pique her interest. I at least tried with my dad. Hopefully your mom,likely much younger,you can find something that might help get her curious..

See if she would want to do any volunteer with something she likes or if there is grandkids activities, that usually helps make them smile and gets them interested at least some i have found.

Maybe board games? Card games?

She says she has no time... but she does nothing all day. It is bizarre.

Lol ya i know ...it makes no sense..

There must be something that still peeks her interest, you just have to find it,hopefully

What about Painting Ceramics or something? Any old hobbies she might like to try to pick up again? Knitting,anything?

Or what about possibly finding some old friends of hers?

My dad has moved away from where we grew up,so that's not really there. He used to be very social too,not anymore though. He also used to sit out in livingroom with us,now he won't except for occasionally here n there like when we come back from a doctor appt or family gathering,rtc.

And unfortunately he won't respind to my Aunt Monique's letters or bd cards anymore,he didn't want to go to his brother's funeral back in January, which i tried to understand but it still hurt. He lived with them for a few years before moving in with us,also prior to him driving with his trailor around the us. So he has really with drawn alot,he used to be part of "Escapes" trailer group for older folks,so.. used to love traveling..

I wish you the best. Maybe you can find some older new friends she might like to get to know,that may help..

Thanks. My dad is retiring this year. I hope more frequent vacations and maybe a move to the city will help her. But as a son I can't force her to make necessary lifestyle changes.

Your welcome. Yes i bet once they get to do more vacations when he retires,it will help change her outlook and bring her out of her hole. Unfortunately its its something she has to want to do,but as her son,you do care and want her happy. Until then,maybe talk to your dad and see if there is something he can help suggest too,ya never know.. Hang in there 😉🤞❤

Congratulations @missliterallywho

> She says she has no time... but she does nothing all day.

This is my boomer mom exactly.

I've once read of playing music on an instrument being shown to delay the onset of Alzheimer's?

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4354683/

Although here it says it only applied to people with 10 or more years of active experience, your Boomer mom better get started soon haha.

Oh and also dementia

I purposely play my music loud when getting ready sometimes and walk by his room with phone in hand,to see if it helps...most times i think he just tunes it out,like he tends to do alot lately with most everything else...

My dad is such a good man and has always kept up with fitness hoping to enjoy retirement with mom. Now it seems he will caretake her just as he did his own mother. Quite a sad state of affairs.

I'm sorry, definitely not easy...

I posted this in the national servers general chat but I’m going to repost it here as well. I’ve had the idea of writing non degenerate children’s books for a while now, and recently I reached out to Arktos to see if this would be something they’d possibly publish and they said yes! If you have ideas in regards to this or want to help however you can please feel free to message me!

@Grossly Incandescent Retard/lazy-bum question but who's/what's Arktos?

@Mikolas They publish right wing books

Arktos publishing is /our publisher/

Their motto is making anti globalism global

Ugh don't have the red and white pill emotes when ya' need em lol.

Lol

But that's great news!

But how great would it be to read books to our kiddos that we all had a hand in creating?

Especially in this day when gender non conforming bs is being shoe horned into children’s literature

For starters, how about a tale about a kid running away from his forest tribe to another, (he did something bad and got rejected/shamed, idk) finding out he doesn't feel at home with a different people, and returning back to his loving family and accepting responsibility for his actions?

Or a her

idk

but theres a good theme/plot/motto there lol

Yeah, we can express our ideas without making it super explicit. Like little dude explores the world, meets peoples from all over and experiences their countries, but in the end is happy to return home to his family

Also just presenting the right role models on nonfiction educational books would be a good place to start. Most top-tier powerlifters are white, for example.

Tesla is an embodiment of the Faustian spirit
