              Dementia Together            Where to Start

We realize that for people living with dementia their hope may not be in a future cure, it is in the current care. Until there are cures for the various causes of dementia “in the meantime”, we help people care well, so that those experiencing dementia can live well.Through education and enrichment, we make living well with dementia the expectation, not the exception.

I'll wait long over about $50,000 a podcast, or joining together to promote charity. Now, regular listeners, you know my mom passed away from dementia last year.

So today, this show is going to array awareness for that. And you can look on the show notes at the end of the description, and it'll tell you how to connect with dementia. Now, it also has a link to the podcast along website. Yeah, so you can see what the other podcasts are doing for their charities. Good cause. I'm glad they're invited to participate. Today is March the 19th. Today is National Pultry Day. Pultry is defined as domesticated birds used for meat and eggs. Now, chicken has been the most eaten meat in America since the 1990s. That's when it passed beef and pork. Now, back when chickens were domesticated, it wasn't for food. Chickens were actually domesticated in Asia. It was used for cock fighting, possibly over 5,000 years ago.

Now, there's actually proof of cock fighting as a spread to ancient Greece and Persia. I'm pretty much everywhere. Yeah, cock fighting is considered the oldest continuous sport in the world. Now, no one thought of eating chickens back then, but now we sure do. And cock fighting is pretty much illegal everywhere. But in Peru and some states in Mexico. I don't think we want to celebrate National Pultry Day with cock fighting there. And if we're celebrating, we probably shouldn't eat poultry today. But you know what? Easter is coming up, so you can go get yourself a pet chicken or four. Now, chickens there are supposedly better at catching mice than cats. Have chickens on your thing. You can celebrate turkeys and ducks and peasants and quaila. There's a plenty of feathered foul out there for you to celebrate on National Pultry Day. All right. This is going on entertainment on March the 19th. 2002, the number one album was under rug swept by a Linus Mercent. Yet for Lopez, she had the number one song with Ain't Up Funny. And 20 years of killing, you just can't deny her. And you can't have no one even though you try. And you just can't bring a thing you shouldn't be. I want to wish this could be a dream.

And 20 years of war, you can just change your life. And you won't want to miss once more. And I want to miss a time we can't play by. And the story of your home. Plexandone, at the Nimon Country Song with the Long Goodbye. Somebody tell me why. Two lovers in love can't make it. Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart. No matter how hard I try. I always make you cry. Come on, maybe it's over there, space it. All that's happening here is a long goodbye. The number one book was second chance by James Patterson and Andrew Gross. Todd Moore was blade two. Blade, he agrees to fight with the vampires against the vampire council, the reapers, the reapers are eating the vampires. Start as Wesley Snipes, Chris Christopherson, and Ron Pearlman. All right, what happened on March the 19th? French explorer Robert Lesseaux. Now he can do the whole Mississippi River all the way from Illinois down to the Gulf of America.

And he claimed all that land for France. But the most important thing, he discovered where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf. So he went back to France. Yeah, he had a hero's welcome. He was quite this celebrity. So France sent him back over here. He said he had four ships, 300 colonists, and a whole battalion of soldiers. France wanted to start a settlement in the mouth of that river. Now when Lesseaux came back, he ran into one problem. Yeah, it couldn't find where he came out. He couldn't find the mouth of the river anymore. Searched for two years. Finally today in 1687, they killed him. The soldiers in colonists all over the agreement and they just went home. Yeah, New Orleans, it wouldn't be founded until 1718. 1831 in New York City, James Honeymoon and William Murray. They robbed the city bank in New York. Now they had forged some keys. So they just let themselves in and walked out with $245,000 in cash. About $5 million a day. Then they went on the run using the alias of Smith and Jones. They were able to spend $63,000 before they ended up getting caught. Yeah, they ended up doing five years in sing-sing prison.

You know what? That's not that bad of trade. They spent five years in prison. They blew $1.5 million. Now during the Civil War, the Confederacy had their biggest and baddest worship built over in Scotland. It had all the bells and whistles at that time. It was really fancy. They called it the Georgiana. In 1863, it was making its main voyage from Scotland to Charleston, South Carolina. Had a whole bunch of medicine, guns, ammo, all the supplies that South needed. Cargo was worth $1 million. That was back then. Well, the Union, they sank that ship today. Yeah. Outside of Charleston. Now 102 years later to the day, divers found the records of the Georgiana. Turns out it got a lot closer to Charleston than anyone thought. Yeah, it almost made it. 1931, Nevada, they legalized gambling.
