Never Lose your Marbles: What to Avoid to Prevent Memory Loss

When you were a kid, losing your marbles can be easily resolved by buying new ones from the nearest hobby or kids’ shop. But as you grow older, losing your marbles becomes a little more complicated as it could mean losing your brain power or memory. Memory loss can be a very challenging situation.

Imagine forgetting where the car keys are, your bank teller’s name, your meeting schedule or the date of your wedding anniversary, and these are just for starters. It can get worse as you can also forget even your name and your whole life’s yesteryears. Here are some of the most common factors that can shrink your memory and to which you should always keep an eye out for.

Stress

Question by Rob: what to do about screwy problems…alcoholic parent…?
so, i’m 20. my father has been dealing with addiction to beer and such for the longest time. i don’t remember him ever NOT drinking. anyways as a child i think it caused some fked up stuff in me and my sisters heads and such, and when i was like 8 or something my dad got in a near fatal car accident from what would you guess….drinking and driving. my sisters liver got toasted and they somehow tied all the mush back together and it healed, seemed like a miracle to everyone (hearing how they spoke about it). anyways, so my dad drinking has always been a problem. but i always ignored it and once i was like 14 started smoking weed, it was a daily thing. i still smoke daily, i’ll be 21 in december. if i don’t smoke i flip out, too much stress.

Signs of Depression – What You Need to Look For

Unlike illnesses like measles or the common cold, someone suffering from depression rarely show physical changes that can be easily spotted. Instead it’s their actions in everyday life that begin to change. Friends of the sufferer who don’t know much about depression can interpret these changes as either nothing important, or worse, see them as a reason to no longer be friends with the sufferer. However once you know what to look for, depression can become obvious.

If a friend or family member begins to show several (not just one or two) of these symptoms for more than two weeks, it is possible they are suffering from depression and need professional medical help.

1. The person has drastic change of appetite

Question by Starr: What do you think about this parenting?
Well, today I took my stepdad and mother out for lunch. I am 17. Keep in mind, that I moved out at the age of 15. Well my mom said in a rude joking way, “I think my daughter is an alcoholic.” to my stepdad. My stepdad then proceeded to talk about how he didn’t care as long as I didn’t screw up. He told me about how he was a big underage drinker and just had the sense to never come home drunk or drive drunk. Sure…I’ve had some beer and wine a little bit. But not anything bad. And I’d never drive drunk. But the advice he gave me was, ‘You can do anything you want, as long as you keep up appearances.’
What do you guys think of that?

Question by So*Cal Blinkbaby: What are some good alcoholic “chick drinks”( usually fruity flavored)?
with either vodka, southern comfort, Jack….
Like drinks that a bartender would know… So when I go places with my older friends, I can tell them what to order for me.
