TP found out, certain Computer programmers, could put someones name unobtrusively in a line of code, that did nothing, but just went round and round the net Forever.

Like the Ancient Egyptian belief, You are not Gone, if your name is still in use.

 

He used it in a story, TP fans took it up.

 

Rose was Friend & neighbour, who was struck down by Vascular Dementia many years ago, She lived in Her own world for a few years in her Home, before moving to a care Home.

 

Thing is I was only talking about Her on Sunday, I was remembering the last time I saw Her.

 

I was in my Kitchen and saw Her standing in my back garden. I went out and said " You ok Rose" She looked at Me blankly  -  "I've lost Tori" Her little Dog, who was already by then being looked after by another neighbour. I told Her If saw Him I'd bring Him round. then said I'd walk Her back round to Her house, She just looked at Me lost and turned round to walk out to the street. Suddenly She stopped turned round and said " You're nice, Yes You're Nice"

 

We walked another few steps and She spun round, looked right in my Eyes, then started tapping Me on My chest and said "Cats, Cats" Something had broken through, It broke my heart, I was in Tears as I walked Her back around corner.

 

Thing is, my Next Door neighbour (friend for 28yrs) started having symptoms well over 3 years ago, I think I guessed before her Daughter, who when She told Me. She was shocked to know, I'd  guessed 2 yrs before, this was when Doctors thought it started.

 

But unlike some of Her older friends and even some of Her family, I am IN Her world even now, it is hard.

I live in a tiny part of our Town that sits alone, bounded by a railway line, a Burn (then what was a specialist Foundry), a Golf course and a main road then fields.

In 3 small streets of semiDetached houses, there seems to be a Dementia Hotspot, among the Women who have stayed Here for 40 odd years and didn't work.

 

WE wonder what was in the atmosphere from the Foundry, it used a lot Chromium

(in processess thats use, involves a lot of nasty substances)
