I can’t remember shit. Just yesterday I kept picturing the guy from Cheers (see! can’t remember his name) who is in the new Planet of the Apes movie and I refused to Google Planet of the Apes for the cast and crew because I WAS DETERMINED TO REMEMBER HIS NAME!!!!! … I STILL can’t remember it. But anyway, my husband talks like you all the the time … “Hey Deb, remember that guy that works at the place we went to that time?” I just go along and say “yeah.” It saves time and frustration.

My husband what’s his name is my designated memory at social functions..what’s his or her name approaching me with a big smile and hug ready arms…I started losing it in my fifties and it really bothered me. Now, it’s just habit. I do make sticky notes for the store, car etc. but, not as bad as a woman I saw once on Strange Addictions– she was addicted to gas fumes and would carry a coke can around full of gas. On her steering wheel there were two dozen sticky notes telling her what to do. That’s bad. And tacky.

I just came across this list, and I feel certain only good things can come from sharing it with you. 🙂

Had to call the teakettle “the water-boiling thing” and the keys the “unlocking things,” so I’m wondering what happens when I can’t retrieve “thing” either. I think lack of sleep, the kind that knits up the ravel’d sleeve and all, plays big in this. Plus depression hijacks your brain for its own evil use. My being an old fart doesn’t help.

Weird thing is, lately, I can remember numbers like crazy, a talent I never had before. I can look at a telephone number once and remember it for months, but who wants to remember that shit?

I can never remember what day it is when I wake up. And it takes me much longer than it should to work out.

I have no name remembering ability at all now. Especially considering most people have 3 or 4 different names, across several social media platforms.
Faces and details tend to stay with me more. It used to bother me that I couldn’t remember. Not so much now.
Strangely, I do remember my memory leaving me. At a job where I was expected to do the work of 3 people. One day I was like “I cant retain all this anymore” and I let go of it.
And that level of ability never came back.
Oh well.
I dont mind. My new method of dealing is to care LESS. Caring more was making me insane.

That sounds like the weed.

Would it console you any if I told you I’d been this way since my mid twenties, forgetting words, names etc. At least you’ve had the pleasure of a wonderful mind. Mine’s a never was.

I found my keys in the freezer. I hope you don’t lose your mind. I have a fantasy that we have more good pranks to execute in the future.

I wish I could help you, er, whatever your name is, but I keep putting my memory down and then forgetting where!

I also have a lot of problems with the name of that chap in the shaving mirror every morning but I tell him not to worry, it’ll come to me alter!
