DAYM? ---> Love It!
Last night I was trying to think of how to start a thread with this same topic. Thankfully Dionysus was in my head to take care of the situation! 
I get almost all of the Sigma Nu guys confused. Not only are many of their names kind of similar, but their signatures and posting styles are too. I'm always double checking post histories to try and keep them straight.
I also find myself wondering if I remember posters correctly because they've changed their names and I can't keep them straight or if they took a leave of absense for an eternity.
To answer the first question, Walmart was the isht when I was in high school. It was the only place to hang at 3 AM where the cops would leave you alone even if you were breaking curfew.

That is my biggest problem. I get confused when trying to remember if someone changed their name or are new. Especially the Sig Kapps.

Alzheimer's is not pronounced Oldtimers. Sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine.
Speaking of names, I've requested a namechange twice from John and he persists in ignoring me. Can the supermoderators take care of namechanges?

Yeah, but one of my professors told me that it is pronounced "Alltimer's" because that's the German pronunciation. If anyone here speaks German, does "zh" make an American "t" sound? Because I didn't buy it, but hey, I don't speak German.

My mom, who is Polish (came here from Poland in 1964) had to learn German when she was in grade school. She says it's more like a "tz" sound - all-tzy-mers. But, she also says she left Poland so long ago, so her memory may be a little shoddy.

Alzheimer's is different from "oldtimers" and both those are totally different from sometimer's.
Some times I remember, some times I forget...
Alzheimer's is generally characterized by beta-amyloid plaques on the neurons that causes 1st short-term memory loss, then long-term memory loss. Eventually the sufferers forget how to do non-voluntary functions such as breathing...
Oldtimer's is just generated by age and old. It is not medical and most folks are cantankerous.
Sometimer's is generated by age and is middle-aged. It too is not medical and most folks who have it are honery.
I am nowhere close to be an awesome supermoderator... If that comment was not for me, for that I apologize since some folks on GC are rather touchy and hardcore about appropriatly stating everything on a "free for all" board. But, hey, we have some level of decorum.

I know what Alzheimer's is, I work in the medical field myself. I also know a lot of people who pronounce Alzheimer's as Oldtimers and it really annoys the hell out of me.
