Life starts at 50, gets great at 60 and primo at 70.
What Happens When We Die?
by Darrell Griffin, president of PureAudacity.com
This lighthearted yet heartfelt blog explores what happens when we die—physically, mentally, and spiritually. This is largely my viewpoint, developed over 73 years of existence. With humor and compassion, it walks through the body’s natural shutdown, the mind’s gentle fade, and the soul’s hopeful journey beyond. It acknowledges that death can feel scary, mostly because no one’s come back with a review, but reminds us that faith—especially the kind described in Hebrews 11:1—transforms death into a doorway to real life. Whether you’re supporting a loved one or just curious, this guide offers clarity, comfort, and a few laughs along the way.
Fun Dip, once known as Lik-M-Aid, debuted in the 1940s as a simple flavored sugar powder. In the 1970s, it was rebranded with its signature Lik-A-Stix, turning candy into a playful, interactive experience. Over the decades, its ownership shifted from Sunline to Nestlé and now Ferrero’s Ferrara Candy Company. With nostalgic flavors, seasonal spins, and enduring cultural relevance, Fun Dip has become more than candy—it’s an edible ritual steeped in memory, joy, and childhood wonder. From school lunchboxes to science experiments, it continues to spark both sugar rushes and smiles.
A study conducted by Scripps Research Institute suggests that carnosic acid, found in rosemary and sage, might aid in combating Alzheimer’s by reducing brain inflammation and enhancing neuron connectivity in mice. Despite these encouraging findings, specialists advise against adding more of these herbs to your diet just yet. The beneficial effects were observed with a drug form of the compound, not through culinary use, and human studies are required. Researchers remain hopeful but advise caution, as results in mice do not always apply to humans. Until further research is available, maintain your typical spice routine.

Recent research suggests that sleep position may influence the brain’s ability to clear harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Side-sleeping enhances the glymphatic system, improving clearance of beta-amyloid by up to 25%. Back-sleeping, especially with sleep apnea, may increase the risk of cognitive decline. Studies show people with untreated apnea have a 70% higher dementia risk. Sleeping 7–9 hours nightly, maintaining a consistent schedule, and protecting melatonin production are all critical. While more human studies are needed, side-sleeping is a low-risk, potentially protective habit that could support long-term brain health.
