Don't allow the usage of A.I. to trump the divine creativity that's already in your minds.

Also, support your local artists.....their work is FAR BETTER than A.I. slop.

For people who meet the qualifications, primary care physicians or specialists can order an Alzheimer's blood test. The results alone don't mean a person has it. Doctors consider other info, including medical history, family history, cognitive testing and medications that might influence the results.

An earlier diagnosis can lead to earlier treatment of Alzheimer’s. It can also help set a person’s mind at ease if the blood test shows you don’t have early signs of the disease.

Its not necessarily for folks like me misplacing my phone and readers practically every.single.day.
Its definitely not for a person like me who already manages anxiety.

The best thing I can do to protect my brain is the same thing Dr Pantea told Wheezy. The only difference? I don't flirt with him during exams.
