Is your memory getting worse with age?

Maybe your life is just busier now and you are more distracted. That happens when you have kids.

 

Probably drugs and alcohol

This isn't right Row.  I was the one who typically went out to get stuff, I actually liked to get out of the house.  Most of the times it was to go buy beer, while I'm out, what else do we need.

 

I bet you never forgot the beer. So it’s all good.....

i burn out quicker, makes me prioritize

 

people weren't meant to walk around buried in their phones every second of the day, this will not be pretty in 20 years for them...

 

 

 

 

Actually, I think it's the opposite.  So much multi-tasking, people will be sharper.

I will forget your name while I’m still shaking your hand. It’s a real problem I know I need to work on. But it’s not a sign my memory is declining. I’ve ALWAYS sucked at that. It’s not easy being me.

Only so much brainpower to use each day, have to save it for the important stuff, like arguing over baseball stats

 

i see a new one is out, ranks Mark McGwire well above Babe Ruth, yayyyyy!!!!

I'm only 37 and I'm already experiencing forgetfulness.  I don't want to say memory loss because that sounds like really serious stuff.

 

Like for instance, I had to buy another fuel cap the other day because after I got gas, I forgot to put on the cap before I drove off.

Last week as I was getting my son in the car, I put my cup on top of the roof.  Forgot about that cup and drove off...cup splashed all over my windshield.

Forgot my lunch today.  It's sitting on the counter in my kitchen as we speak.

The coffee station at my work is close to the bathrooms.  I'll put in a k-cup and then go to the bathroom.  When I leave the bathroom, sometimes I forget about my coffee.

 

It's little things I like this.  Did you guys experience this in your late 30's? 

 

This is the first I'm reading this thread.  Funny stuff!

I think it was Napoleon who stated that a man working on two tasks gets neither accomplished 

 

with the internet as babysitter, purely for time wasting,  we now have people doing one thing and getting nothing useful accomplished at all, while thinking one is very busy

I have proof you forgot to give Fergy his beer. 

 

I think that you have lost  part of your mind. ?

If you can only remember one thing because your memory is shot remember to not smoke any pot.  Maybe then the rest of the the memory will come back.

Good to see you're back to your 'good' avatar.  Who's your lady friend in that picture?  I've never seen her before.

@BringBackFergy kindly gave me my first drink of the day. I think he put something in it for I later suffered from a temporary memory outage. I mean, worse than usual, so pretty bad.....

Depends.

 

Depends what else you are doing.  People surely can chew gum and walk.

[row_33]

sat at a piano for the first time in almost 20 years and was able to recall complex Beethoven and Chopin pieces (and 8-10 finger chords) easily with sheet music in front of me

 

even a bit still sitting there from memory

 

i should be doing this a few hours a week....

Almost everyone can, but many need to say"step/chew, step/chew"

If not out loud, then to themselves. Which is why so many gum chewers have trouble with conversation.
