This is a tribute to my Father, who lost his long battle with Alzheimer's on December 1, 2006, only a year after my Mom succumbed to cancer, which I'm sure was hastened by the stressful nature of her "caregiver role".
I had always had a cavalier attitude about Alzheimer's, until I saw it and lived it personally. Now, as I continue to learn more and more about the disease, I realize what an epidemic we face and terrified we, as a country, are no more ready to deal with Alzheimer's on that great a scale than we are ready to occupy the moon! Please, listen and learn about Alzheimer's. Get involved, donate money or time. Talk to your Congressmen/women and Representatives. They need to know that we need action now, not when there are 15 times the number of diagnosed patients as there are predicted to be in a few short years. Early detection is key so know the warning signs:

Tax Considerations >Your Tax Free Profits
Significant tax reform legislation was signed into law with the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. This legislation replaced both the one-time $125,000 tax-free exclusion for homeowners aged 55 and older, and the "rollover" deferment of capital gains tax requiring the purchase of a replacement home of higher or equal cost within two years of the sale of your principal residence.
With this change, a married couple filing their taxes jointly pays capital gains taxes only on that portion of home sales profits that exceeds $500,000. Single taxpayers, heads of households, and married persons filing separately may exclude up to $250,000. The exclusion is available for all sales of homes that occurred on or after May 6, 1997. Homeowners can use this tax-free provision every two years.
You are allowed to keep these tax-free profits only if you have owned and used the home as your principal residence for two out of the five years prior to the sale of the property. Although the regulations do not require continuous occupancy, the IRS specifies that your principal residence must be the home you use for the majority of time during the year. Consult your tax advisor about your personal circumstance.
