if no more posts i've forgotten i was a member

[shameless]

i have a password for a prog i use within the desktop - yesterday i used it a dozen times -i know it so well that i didn't give myself a 'hint' for it - today i don't have a clue what it is - normally all my passwords are an assortment of my dogs names -tried every which way i can and not happening - frustrating is not the word - looked up forgetfulness not to be mistaken for dementia and apparently all of these apply to me

• Occasionally forgetting where you left things you use regularly, such as glasses or keys.
• Forgetting names of acquaintances or blocking one memory with a similar one, such as calling a grandson by your son’s name.
• Occasionally forgetting an appointment.
• Having trouble remembering what you’ve just read, or the details of a conversation.
• Walking into a room and forgetting why you entered.
• Becoming easily distracted.
• Not quite being able to retrieve information you have “on the tip of your tongue.” are commonplace

made me wonder if members can define another members age by the watches he displays on WRUW - not just one watch but when you have been around sometime and got to know to some extent the body of watches that member owns as i do with several guys on here

[Seriously]

Having read the main body of your post.... this last bit is obviously a byproduct of:

• Becoming easily distracted.

maybe that has a direct correlation with the closeness of grandparents and their young grandchildren!

Ah Hell...don't sweat it!
Since 1970 I carry a card with my Tel.#,'s, home, office, friends,etc....I was in a very bad helicopter crash in '69, numbers I knew b/4 the crash, I know...
everything after, I can't remember.....I can't even remember my address! Thank goodness it's only numbers...

There is something to this, I think. Before becoming a teacher I had a vast vocabulary and could spell even obscure unknown words. I now have difficulty spelling my own name sometimes.

• Occasionally forgetting where you left things you use regularly, such as glasses or keys. - No, I know my wife moves my stuff all the time
• Forgetting names of acquaintances...... - Only the ones I don't care about
• Occasionally forgetting an appointment. - Nope; that's one thing smart phones are really good for
• Having trouble remembering what you’ve just read, or the details of a conversation. - Sorry, could you repeat the question ?
• Walking into a room and forgetting why you entered. - Not exactly, but walk into a room and get distracted (by my children) from what I went in for, all the time.
• Becoming easily distracted. - Nothing new there, been like that my whole life
• Not quite being able to retrieve information you have “on the tip of your tongue.” are commonplace - Worryingly, that one is becoming more commonplace

Only one thing for it:

Time to dust off the DS Lite
