Notice to anyone that has a MyFitnessPal account. They've been hacked, and now people have names, emails, and passwords.

Change your passwords.

My wife joked that they now have the weight of everyone, too, haha.

Thanks, Wade. I just logged in and changed passwords and even the email that I use (which I've been wanting to do for a while anyway.)

Gary just changed his password.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. The thin film of morning fog is burning off and a wedge of dim yellow is hitting the front porch. A very interesting article ... well it was interesting to Gary, on the front page of the 'California' section, in the LA Times. "Start now to guard against dementia". What surprised Gary, according to the article, 70% of those affected by Alzheimer's/dementia are women, twice as many women as men. Maria Shriver who founded the Women's Alzheimer's Movement, stated "it seems that we have all become so obsessed with our bodies that we have forgotten to take care of our brains." The reporter was speaking to the head neurology at Stanford who said "My waiting room with 70-year-olds with the bodies of 40-year-olds and no minds."

So heads up out there ... do some googling and think about your brains.

4.25 and a minute or two today.
The young bride of my Uncle has a fine upstanding family. A couple of them got hold of her drivers license number and social security numbers and (supposedly) she now has warrants out for her. He has cancer and is losing his brain. My Dad would like for me to work for them part time. Back in 2009 when the economy crashed he owed me back money.
I question how/if I will get paid.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Hmm. I only downloaded the free app, some months back. I've never logged into the website and don't recall ever making a password, since I just open the app. It's the free version (though it's constantly asking me to purchase the upgrade version) and have never bought anything through it. How much concern should I give this?

This is infuriating for many reasons that I refuse to type on a tiny phone keyboard. But the rage...yup, I haz it.

(Not with you, Tio, but rather the whole, "Hey, ladies, we finally recognize that your minds are important, too!" message.)

Talk to Maria Shriver. Gary had no idea that it was a 2:1 split on Alzheimer's ... Gary thinks that the same deliver could also be used for men. Gary thinks that all of us need a wake up call not only to take care of our bodies but our minds as well.

If you gave them your email and a password (and you use/used that email elsewhere), I'd be concerned. If you did not make a password or use your email, you're probably in the clear.

You need to log into the app, too, and that login info is the same for the website, even if you don't use the web version, so I would change the password for that, too.

The article is equally about Shriver as it is about the female oriented Alzheimer’s 501(c)(3) organization/web site Shriver founded. Read the article written by a woman. Gary doesn’t think it is as you described.

Give me a chance to get to a real keyboard to explain what makes me angry before assuming it is Maria Shriver or the article

I think I'm going to break the grill in by smoking about 12 pounds of cow. Of course, I've never done this before, but as the kids say, YOLO.

I'm off to find Gary's iGrill (because I want it today, not next week sometime), some charcoal, and some brisket.

Opening Day, our unofficial holiday.

With Bootsy, and with Freekbass (who was on local public radio for awhile, playing funk.) If you knew who some of these, um, local celebrities(?!) were this might make more sense (or maybe not). But we get to do it all again Monday - with a parade!

Gary thinks that all of use need a wake up call not only to take care of our bodies but our minds as well.

I read the article in full, and saw nothing but a dreadful disease to get angry over. Found it interesting that the disease is there 20 years before you become symptomatic, and that by age 40, women's brains start to age at a more rapid rate then men. From my own personal experience I believe that daily "mental exercise" plays a part in how rapidly our mental prowess declines. After I retired it wasn't long before I could tell the memory was getting worse. Maybe the use or lose it applies. Have had a couple of family members with Alzheimer, and it isn't a pretty picture.
