This here crossword, they say it’s good for the brain. Keep ya sharp, like a tack. Me, I just like fillin’ in the little squares. Makes me feel like I done somethin’ with my day, ya know? Health concern, they call it. Well, I got plenty of them, let me tell ya!
Health concern, that’s what they call this whole crossword thing. Like worryin’ about gettin’ sick or somethin’. I reckon it’s important to keep your brain workin’, just like keepin’ your body movin’. Keeps the rust off, ya know? This one here says, “Health concern.” What could that be? Hmm…
They say these crossword puzzles, they help with the memory. Lord knows I could use some help there. Sometimes I forget what I had for breakfast! But this here, it makes ya think. Gotta use that noggin. And that’s a good thing. Improve your workin’ memory? What in the hell is workin’ memory? You use your memory, or you don’t! Simple!
- Keeps the mind busy, that’s what they say.
- Better than watchin’ them soaps all day, I reckon.
- Gets the old gears turnin’ up there.
- Makes ya think about words, and that’s always good.
This one here, it says, “a word that means the same as another word.” Well, ain’t that somethin’? Like “big” and “large.” Or “small” and “tiny.” They say there’s a whole bunch of words for pretendin’. Like, “affect,” “assume,” somethin’ called “counterfeit.” Never heard that one. “Feign,” “sham,” and, uh, “simulate.” Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me, but there ya go.
I seen in one of them magazines, a doctor fella said these crossword things help with, uh, problem-solvin’. Stimulates some part of the brain. Frontal lobe, I think he called it. That is where my old brain needs some help. I can’t solve any problems anymore. But I sure can write the answers to problems in these boxes! Well, whatever it is, it keeps me entertained.
This other thing I read, it said this crossword solver found 30 answers to, you guessed it, “health concern.” Thirty! Can you believe it? That’s a lot of ways to say you’re worried about your health, ain’t it? Just say you’re not feeling great. That’s all you need to say. It’s not rocket science.
They say playin’ these brain games is good for ya. Keeps ya sharp, like I said. Important for general health. Well, I guess that makes sense. Gotta keep the mind workin’ just like the body. These hobbies, they call ’em. Challengin’ hobbies. Sounds fancy, don’t it?
Health concern. That’s the clue again. They say they found 40 possible answers for this one. Forty! That’s even more than the other one. Seems like a lot of ways to be worried, don’t it? I just worry about my crops and my grandkids. Simple as that.
This one says they spotted this clue, “health concern,” over 20 times. Twenty times! That’s a lot of worryin’, ain’t it? I guess folks are always thinkin’ about their health these days. Me, I just try to eat my vegetables and get some fresh air. That’s all you really need, I reckon. But these crosswords are pretty fun. Keep your mind off the real worry, I guess.
These words, they get me thinkin’. Thinkin’ about all sorts of things. Like when I was a little girl, and we didn’t have no fancy crosswords. We just had our chores and our schoolwork. But we used our brains, that’s for sure. Didn’t need no fancy puzzles to do it.
This crossword thing got a lot of words. Got a lot of meanin’s. Remind me that I forgot to take my pills today. That’s a real health concern!
They keep sayin’ that playin’ games keeps your brain sharp. Important for health. Guess it makes sense. Gotta use it or lose it. This here crossword, I found it fun. Keeps ya busy. Keeps ya thinkin’. Keeps ya from just sittin’ there like a bump on a log. I reckon that’s a good thing.
All in all, not a bad way to pass the time. Keeps ya from dwelling on all the bad stuff, and make you use your brain. Better than watchin’ those silly shows on the TV. I reckon I’ll keep doing these crosswords, long as I can see the little squares. Might be good for the brain after all. It is also something to do.
