I'm on my way to bed, long day and very tired. (I would love to discuss the pros and cons of having a relationship with a man half one's age...there are many of each, a real rockin-roller coaster ride
.. but I'm too tired right now
)
I just wanted to comment to greentea and anyone else having memory problems, that my memory problems started long ago. I used to forget lots of things, especially as a teenager, and I can still hear them saying, "You'd forget yer head if it wasn't screwed on."
Later, I still forgot things, car keys, books to take to the library, to sign notes from teachers, and many other things.
I think now that I'm older, I don't really forget any more than I always did. I think that along with other concerns of old age, I just seem to see every little foible and fumble as a sign of my getting older. Yet, I know that in many ways things are no different than they were before, and when I think hard enough, I now forget the types of things I've always forgotten.
Nowadays, if I'm at work, for example, in the middle of the hallway, standing there, looking perplexed, not remembering where I was headed and why, and someone comes by and asks me what's wrong, I tell them "An attack of CRS."
When they ask," What's CRS?" I answer "Can't Remember Sh*t!" For some reason this attitude seems to put a humorous spin on accepting my age,while at the same time not lapsing into the concerns of demential or alzheimers. It helps me while it makes others smile.
Anyway, goodnight all.
