My memory is failing. I suppose I am of that age where this starts to happen. I don’t like it. Dementia and Alzheimers runs in the family. I don’t care to have early onset of either. That is why I’m not getting it checked out. Smart, right? I’ll do something about it when I get lost on the way to work. In the meantime, when I can’t recall a conversation with my husband, (he says I don’t listen.) I’ll just assume he is mistaken. LGR(C)2/1/18 |

So it seems that when you're younger and really busy, your mind is being 'trained' throughout the day and the memory's 'filing system' is naturally more efficient. When things slow down a little as you get older, well then...so does the 'system'. That being said, if you ever do "forget how to get to work", ya, Miss Lori, it's time for a chat. ...just bein' Bluesy |

Sorry to hear this . . . I lost my way from my doctor's office back home, Lori. I have it pretty bad. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. |

Bluesy, I have no sense of direction, so I get lost pretty easy anyway. I'm not to that point with to and from work-I can do that with my eyes closed (sometimes I do) ~L |

Oh Jerry I'm so sorry to hear that. That must have been upsetting. I'm not having that much trouble yet, knock on wood. ~L |

It doesn't run in my family but I think it scares us all as we get older. |

It is scary to think about for sure. My Mom had Dementia as I cared for her and both of my Aunts had/have it too. All we can do is try to keep our minds busy and pray for the best Nicely penned Lori Lou ~ Huggerz |

Pinkbraincells, I keep hoping that writing poetry is good stimulation for the old noggin and is saving my brain from turning to rotting mush from watching TV. ~L |
