Neither.

I'm really struggling to think of any more clues for fear of giving the answer away but I can assure you it is a 'one-off' and very unique.

That should give it away now.

The sea shell house?

Jimbuna · 12-19-20, 11:53 AM

I honestly wasn't aware the name connection having only viewed it on sites calling it the shell house

Please accept my humble apologies for my stupid mistake and take the next one.

I'm confident Aktung will agree to pass it over.

Catfish · 12-19-20, 12:34 PM

I also had this house on my list, but even though i had not seen a similarity with the photo detail(s) Jim posted

Aktungbby · 12-19-20, 12:56 PM

While I appreciate Jimbuna's admission of stupidity,

there are actually several (5 at least) Casa Caracols in Mexico(I just looked it up

) and as such, having posted a definitive photo of the correct one first...having learned the art of lurking from the Skidmeister himself

I shall therefore eschew passing it over and revel in my glorious victory! A narrow consensus 51%-49% judicious opinion surely!

This will preserve the integrity of the game per the OP rules, preventing even a scintilla of collusion twixt a Dutchman and a moderator who has lived in Holland.

The very honor of

hangs in the balance here! Something shortly this way comes!

SHORTLY:

Who is this and what did he do? Big hint: this has affected me personally both at work and at home

skidman · 12-19-20, 01:23 PM

Ah, when Aktung and Skid meet in the Promised land, on the Isla Mujeres and take a swim in the Blue Lagoon, wonderful things can happen

An American?

Alois Alzheimer, he is is credited with identifying the first published case of "presenile dementia"

A condition than took my father-in-laws life at the age of 59.

skidman · 12-19-20, 01:42 PM

Quick Jim! Bravo.

This brings back some sad memories. My father suffered from dementia and died in September 2019. I still find it difficult to not only remember his last miserable weeks, but all the good times we had before.

Bingo! Also afflicted both my parents and I used to guard a major 2000+ person Jewish rest-home in SF with an entire floor of 200 patients, shambling around all night in a smock and Depends; occasionally pulling the fire alarms and escaping the floor...to try to get back home!! Essentially I was living 'night of the Zombies before it was in style! On a trip home to visit my widowed mom, she asked me-her first born- "if she knew my mother??!!" and I immediately had my BBY brother and estate executor "put her where we'd had daddy." She lived till 2015: age 95. Over to U

but take two Aricept and tighten up on yer Español BBY!

Yes, Alzheimers/Dementia is one horrible affliction for which there is currently no known cure despite the fact a great many people end up succumbing to it.

Okay, I've enlarged this picture as much as I can without making it too blurry.

What is it?
