Getting Older

[lihpster]

I hate the toll that aging places upon us. Memory for instance. Many times, I walk into a room and forget why I went in there. It upsets me. Not as much as the people who live there, though. They're always like, "Who are you? Why do you keep showing up? Get the gun, Mary!"

 

[s&wchad]

I hear you!

I hate it when I stop halfway down into the basement and can't remember what I was going down there for. A few minutes later, I have to think if I was going up or down the stairs!

It's the doorways you walk through that cause memory loss. Walk into the next room through the doorway and you forget what you came into the room for .Walk back out the doorway and you remember what you went into the room for

Am positively thinking of the benefits.

1.No need to trade in old books, after couple weeks ya forgot what they were about.

2.Can't remember, but must have been a saint when younger.

3.If you still drink, drink limits no longer matter cause you can't remember how many you had.

4. Sorry officer, don't remember any stop sign.

What I hate is sitting something down and then not being able to find it

 

[Piwo]

I hate losing track of what I was saying...while I'm saying it.

 

[mikeruns]

I forgot what I was going to say here….

The Wonder Years:

"I wonder why I'm in this room?"

"I wonder what room this is?"

"I wonder where my car keys are?"

"I wonder where my car is?"

"I wonder what I am supposed to be doing?"

"I wonder who I am?"

I think that I'll yell at those clouds.

It ain't fun...losing a wrench you just had in your hand, forgetting where you just sat something down for a minute, heading out to the garage (in a rush mind you) and no clue why when ya get there...and it's gonna get worse...

One of the tricks passed to me from an older friend regarding doors or rooms. If you find yourself wondering why your in a room, etc. Go back to the last room you were in or the last doorway before you got where you are. It does work, not joking. Portals or doorways are just that...I look at death that way, another doorway to another adventure...if it doesn't work out it won't matter anyway...nothing else makes better sense. It also explains all those "I've been here before" scenarios and even biblically with the old saw about the "sins of the father, etc."

Shoes or slippers with memory foam. I’ve been wearing them about a year and I think my memory is getting better.

Get one of the mattresses and it'll get better while you sleep.

It has been my opinion that the infirmities we suffer as a result of aging, disease, and accident and other losses we suffer are the Lord's way of preparing us for moving on and to both appreciate the prospect and be glad for it and welcome it! The older I get the more I am convinced that this is correct.

 

[Walkin Horse]

I’ve got one and sometimes I forget what I’m supposed to be doing.

Turn it over. You're sleeping on the negative side.

[HOUSTON RICK]

I hate working with people so much younger who grew up with computers in their cribs.

 

[pmanton]

It's gonna get worse before it gets better. I'm 85 and I think my IQ has dropped to 25 or 30. ICRS is my motto.

 

[Golddollar]

The memory is OK, it's the retrieval system that's getting slow.

 

[Kinman]

They have medication that will help you remember stuff, trouble is you can forget to take the medication.

 

[Golddollar]

Walk into the next room through the doorway and you forget what you came into the room for .

Sometimes it helps to do something else when you're in that room and your original purpose for being there might come back to you. At least something gets done.

 

[Truckman]

I started making lists when I get close to running out of things...If I can ever remember where those lists are, I'll go shopping - if I can find my keys......Ben

 

[lkabug]

I too seem to forget why I walked in a particular room.
But luckily I still remember why I go into the bathroom!

Same here, but then I'll hear a song that I haven't heard in thirty years and remember every lyric!

[Beemerguy53]

I don't want to brag, but I actually have the ability to forget what I'm doing while I'm in the middle of doing it...

I tried doing that, but my eyes are so bad I ended up having to go to a palm reader.
