Memory

[Zimmerman The Gnome]

As u get older is your memory getting worse or better?

[sourmilkpinky]

worse....no better....I don't remember

[bearkat77]

As I get older, I have thoughts of the "here after".

I enter a room and say "What was I here after?" :laugh5:

I have always been told and been aware that I have a looooooong memory so I hope that that doesn't change as I pass birthdays.

:laugh5: :laugh5: :laugh5: Me too kat!

[Rellevart]

Haven't noticed any difference yet. I'll probably forget to let you know when I do. :wink1:

[oldbeatlechick]

Long term memory is fine, short term memory has been crap for the last 6 months!!

[beatles fan]

I'm already forgetting things as OBC will know! :wink2: more due to lack of sleep! :clown1:

[oldbeatlechick]

Like mobile Matt? :laugh5:

[beatles fan]

[Lucy]

Mobile matt? Sounds interesting.

In conversations with family, I'm often asked by them, 'remember when ... ' and I won't remember at all what they're talking about. So, I worry that my memory is getting worse. But when it comes to trivia, especially concerning music or movies, my family relies on me having good memory; I'm often emailed, 'hey, Jes, who sang this song'? or, 'I which movie did so-and-so happen?'

I do that all the time! So does my mom, but she's 76! :cry3:

I can't remember anybody's name anymore. :blush4:

[Beatle Corinne]

It's a tricky thing - My long term memory has gotten much better - but I have trouble sometimes retrieving the names of actors and such.

[bearkat77]

I can't remember anybody's name anymore. :blush4:

Do you still know your own name? :wink2:

[BeatleChick]

Well, mine is awful... has been for the last several years... and... I wouldn't say that it's improved much... and I'm a little worried about what it will become as I age... (I'm only 26...)

[El Gos Coix]

Mine's worse than it used to be, I suppose that owing to lack of use... Or perhaps owing to lack of sleep, as beatles fan has said (I wouldn't mind that being the reason; at least, it would have a remedy!) At school I had no problem learning by heart whatever it was (lists of rivers, the tables of insects, arthropods and such, poems...) But now I find it much more difficult.

As for my short-term memory, well, it has never been specially good. It very, very often happens something that plunges me in the deepest shame: I'm introduced to someone and five seconds later I cannot remember his/her name. This has always been so, so why I should do it better now?

[El Gos Coix]

Oops, and I forgot to mention something I've already said in another thread: in a couple of months I always forget what any book or film was about. I don't know whether it's something new or whether now I'm more conscious of it.

[BadLittleKid]

I don't remember my password.

[kmac]

Long Term memory is fine for those things I want to remember, but as I age, I make less attempt to remember what seems unimportant at the time, an action I usually end up regretting. Short term is fine.

[Georgie Girl]

Do you still know your own name? :wink2:Give me a hint? :blush4:

[Magill]

I rely on BG to remember things for us because mine is pretty crummy these days. I hope that's not a bad sign of things to come. Poor BG! :afraid2:
HP, on the other hand, has a tendancy to remember things that never happened.:laugh5: :sssh:

[bearkat77]

Give me a hint? :blush4:

Does it start with the same letter as this topic?

Not true. They are things that did happen, you just don't remember.

I have a selective memory. That's what they call it these days. :laugh5:
