What Is Your Memory Like?

So do I! I've tried counting but if I get distracted I forget which number I'm on..you know like 1 - 4! Haha!

The thing is, I'm only sharp when I'm on here!

I have a list as well, and I make reminders of what I have to do.

My Dad's like that yet he forgets stuff from the shops..and he has a list too!

I just stick stuff in the dryer and take it out when it's warm, and I don't buy anything (on purpose) that needs to be ironed.

Yes, I'm afraid I do iron. The last chap I lived with I didn't iron then and I looked a mess so I vowed that if ever I "got with another bloke" I'd iron. I don't iron everything, now that would be silly!

My hubby is a bit like that. I've often seen him mouth the words to a Star Trek episode that he's seen hundreds of times. You'd think he'd get bored wouldn't you? Apparently not. It's the everyday things he forgets..but he remembers us going to a pub in Town that we've only been in once..years ago. He said I had a Bacardi Breezer. Why I had one of those God only knows as I don't particularly like them!

It's true..I do tend to forget what I'm doing when ironing. I guess I can just "switch off" and think about other things which is why I don't mind doing it in the first place. I've not forgotten which setting to put the iron on..yet..but give me time, I'm bound to burn something eventually! As for you and your water..wow, I'd be sooo bloated if I drank 3 glasses of water when I got up...I think I'll stick to my cup of tea and bowl of corn flakes.

I ried drinking one and a half liters upon rising, lasted through three days of it. I have a diet supplement I am taking, supposed to take it twice a day, with water, after a meal or with food. I forget when I have taken them. Too many is not really good for you. I now put two in the bowl before breakfast, and take one after breakfast, and one after lunch. If the bowl is empty, I have taken them. I think before I started this I took four one day.

I'm glad you found a way to overcome short memory confusion. As we get older and have trouble with our memory we have to find a way to successfully deal with that, especially if we live alone and we have no one to remind us.

If we followed his instructions in our household we'd be bankrupt lol. Have you ever noticed it's far cheaper to follow a bad diet than a good one? Interesting concept though and I like your comment about being curious as to what kind of person you are. Excellent!

Yes, I think that hamburgers and french fries and such things are a lot cheaper than many health products, but if we can grow our own veggies, it would help to save a great deal.. You can make a search with dr+joaquin+gonzales+aragon and you will find some interesting information. Some of it is in Spanish, but I saw something in English too. He is working with a network company, GNLD, and those who want to learn how to help their family and others get a lot of free education. Many like to eat their food supplements, because it is easier than change the whole diet. People are interested in health and we just need to tell them about this opportunity. When the network grows - if we don´t give up, it can be possible for us to earn extra and to get the food supplements for free after some time. I am going to test a product that is new for us in Sweden - Tré - that they have been working on for many years. You can read about it at www.gnld.com It is supposed to boost the brain too, but I will tell more when I have used it for a while.

Sorry to hear that. I have suffered from insomnia myself from time to time and it isn't very nice, so I do sympathise with you.

How do you get the creases out of your jeans if you don't iron them? I've done that..before going upstairs for a wee I think to myself, "I must get a new tea-towel out of the airing-cupboard" and 9 times out of 10 I forget..usually when I'm back downstairs in the kitchen with wet hands after washing up. Bugger!

Well, my Mum is 64 now and let me tell you, it won't get any easier for you. In fact, I find Mum quite entertaining at times (plus the fact she laughs at herself of course) as her new thing is getting lost in shops she's been in millions of times before. Sometimes she has to come out as she starts to panic! And when she's with me I'm as bad so we end up going round in circles, getting nowhere! I remember when we stayed at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas for my wedding in 2008 and whenever I was with Mum it took us ages GETTING OUT! It's sign-posted in there as well. Most hotels are designed to keep people IN for obvious reasons (gambling) so hubby did this quite often when he was in our company. Haha!

Perhaps I should shoot myself now!!

Haha! You're not an Aries are you? Well, I'm an Aries with Mercury in Pisces, which, unfortunately, doesn't make me the fastest or most coherent of talkers, which is why I love to type..it's great getting all the words out properly. The times I have stopped mid-sentence and someone else has finished it off for me is embarrassing to say the least. I do say "thingy" quite a lot if I can't remember someone's name!

Actually, I am an Aries, but I don't know any more about it...don't bother with that stuff.

haha. yeah, it gives you happiness when you find those little important things! they are small but they are still important. Yeah, I would better do what you said. Thanks for the advice. Since I love reading nursing books, I came across some antibiotics really have those side effects. I forgot what was the generic name of that medicine. I totally don't remember all those medicines I took since my childhood years. I also think my mom has forgot it too. But I think, forgetfulness is also genetic/ hereditary. My mom also is forgetful but it is understandable for her age to be one.heheh I know some doctors and I'll try asking them.

You sound like my Mum!

I do sympathise as this happens to my hubby all the time! I've lost count of the times that he's spoken to someone in Town that acknowledges him first (by his name) then afterwards he'll say to me, "I've absolutely no idea who that was!"

So how's your memory, which is what the question was?

The reason I forget is that my mind wanders when I iron..always has done so this gets in the way of my ironing (if that makes sense) therefore I forget which sides of jeans I've done and which I haven't done. Luckily, with other garments I'm ok, why that is I don't know!

Yes, we reminisce more don't we? My Uncle Joe is a paranoid schizophrenic and is on medication. He is lucid now and remembers stuff from way, way back that his sister (my Mum) had forgotten years ago.

The article isn't there my friend, but thanks for thinking about me, it's much appreciated.
