I have a friend that swears it's doorways that wipe out memory you go though a doorway to get something and can't remember what when you get on the other side, for me it's the micro-switch in my butt

I have senior moments. I never thought I would see the day. The one good thing about old age is, I can't think of it.

For me, that's because so much time passes between ideas. :? Usually, they aren't worth remembering anyway. :roll:

Brains of older people are slow because they know so much. People do not decline mentally with age. It just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information stored in their brain, scientists believe. Much like a computer struggles as the hard-drive becomes more full, so humans also take longer to access information, it has been suggested.

Researchers say this slowing down is not the same as cognitive decline. The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Micheal Ramscar of Tubingen University in Germany, but only because we have stored more information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more, but just may not be able to access the information.

Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand wondering what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise!

SO, THERE! :lol:

Oh, so very true! Unfortunately for me, I've had to "reformat" my elderly brain so often that I've lost access to much of my past! Add to that, the increasing number of " bad sectors" and faulty "RAM" and my brain's "hard drive" is in need of replacement.

I walk into the kitchen then stand there and ask myself what did I come out here for.



So do I but then I decide as long as I am up anyhow I might as well make myself a sandwich. and some coffee. After the coffee I am wide awake and in the morning can't figure out why I am so tired, after all I went to bed at ten pm, that should have been enough sleep.
