 There is a RC around my blk, they organise karaoke for senior citizens. My neighbour attended.

May i know how to prevent Alzheimer disease? It is more common for men to get it than women, anybody know the reason why? I think our hi-tech world maybe partly to blame. We no longer need to remember phone numbers and appointments liao.....

he's not just old, but stubborn as well.  my brain juice dried up.. dunno what to do to change his mindset.

Those living with old folks, you are not alone.  I live with my mother-in-law - also stubborn as mule.  She's not senile (because she's always punctual in asking for her monthly allowance from my hubby); just plain sloppy.  Some of her habits can kill or injure people, like sweeping broken glass pieces under her bed.  There was once she left the cooking unattended that the flames shot right up to the ceiling.  We came back from work to see a black patch in the ceiling. Another time she tried washing the kitchen wall in our old house by hosing it with water.  The water got into the electrical wiring.  I got an electric shock when I tried to switch on the light in the bathroom.  After repeated scoldings, it is only recently that she has stopped leaving heavy pots and pans on the kitchen window ledge to dry.  How to have children in the house with an old folk like that?  Living with her every day is a tremendous stress.  We can't go on holiday with any peace of mind.  We'd have to ask our relative to call her and check on her every day.  Do you think there is such a daughter-in-law nowadays who can live with such a MIL for more than 10 years?  We do not want to get a maid as we're afraid the maid may give us another set of problems.
