    I don't seem to be able to remember stuff anymore. I can remember there is stuff I should be remembering, I just can't remember what the stuff is. Forgot to pick up my money as I left the house this morning, despite getting it ready just before hand, and standing at the door knowing I had forgotten something. There was something else I thought of in the car on the way to work that I had forgotten, but I have forgotten what it was. Some of the forgetfulness is fairly immediate, like when I write stuff I tend to think heavily about the words and structure before hand, then when I start typing forget what it was supposed to be. Think of a specific word that I want to use, then can't remember what it was when I begin typing. Half the time I'm sure what I put up on here isn't what I intended to. I think of things to tell my parents, or my wife next time I see them, then when I get there I know there is something or things I wanted to say but cannot remember what they were or what they were about. Often these things come flying back into memory hours or days later, before disappearing again. Longer term memories seem to have gone too, although I do have memories that I had memories. Again I know I used to have memories about stuff, but the details have gone. I'm not sure if I have memories of things, or if I have memories of being told about things. I cannot recall pictures and so on. The spank bank is empty. I've wondered if this is simply a lack of concentration, a lack of attention to detail which is something I have always struggled with. Or are these just things that happen to your memory as you get older? Is memory simply at maximum capacity and freeing up space with an badly written algorithm? It's bloody frustrating, I know that much.

        That happens with me also almost all the time :( & I am definately not getting older, I have not even crossed 30 yet, So I consider that it is lack of concentration (atleast for me it is) :sigh:

          I do remember when I was 17 I used to regularly go and see a band, although I cannot remember which one, they used to cover that but sing "No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there's no lyrics". I really cannot remember which band it was, followed them all round the country for a while.

              I did that this morning in the thread about Bob's helmet. I had in my head exactly what I was going to say and started typing. All went well until I came to etiquette. I typed elocution. To my credit I realized immediately that it was not right but I then had to play a mental game of 'say the first thing that comes to mind' with myself starting at elocution, passing through politeness and several other words that I can no longer remember until I got there. Still, passes the time.

                      That's an odd thing. I don't think I forget things I have done (apart from some of the details), just things I was intending to do. Anyway, Outlook tellls me I have to go to a meeting now, and a good thing too. Just hope I can remember which room it is in when I get down there.

                        It is because as you get older life becomes more predictable and therefore events have less impact and ability to imprint themselves on your memory. Of course if you do do something interesting it will form a strong memory. I also think it is why we dont sleep so well as we get into our mid life. We just dont need the time to assimilate the days experiences since they are not new, or interesting. At least thats my theory. :)

                          At least it's only your memory that's leaking. As you get older, that could change.

                            I don't seem to be able to remember stuff anymore. I can remember there is stuff I should be remembering, I just can't remember what the stuff is. Forgot to pick up my money as I left the house this morning, despite getting it ready just before hand, and standing at the door knowing I had forgotten something. There was something else I thought of in the car on the way to work that I had forgotten, but I have forgotten what it was. Some of the forgetfulness is fairly immediate, like when I write stuff I tend to think heavily about the words and structure before hand, then when I start typing forget what it was supposed to be. Think of a specific word that I want to use, then can't remember what it was when I begin typing. Half the time I'm sure what I put up on here isn't what I intended to. I think of things to tell my parents, or my wife next time I see them, then when I get there I know there is something or things I wanted to say but cannot remember what they were or what they were about. Often these things come flying back into memory hours or days later, before disappearing again. Longer term memories seem to have gone too, although I do have memories that I had memories. Again I know I used to have memories about stuff, but the details have gone. I'm not sure if I have memories of things, or if I have memories of being told about things. I cannot recall pictures and so on. The spank bank is empty. I've wondered if this is simply a lack of concentration, a lack of attention to detail which is something I have always struggled with. Or are these just things that happen to your memory as you get older? Is memory simply at maximum capacity and freeing up space with an badly written algorithm? It's bloody frustrating, I know that much.

                            When speaking I often stall in the middle of a sentence because, I cannot for the life of me, bring to mind the word I need. Assuming you (still working) are younger than me (retired), I have some good news and some bad news. As you get older you have lots more free time, but you just can't remember what you were going to do with it.

                              I used to have that problem, too. Fortunately, I found the solution, and it worked 1000%. It was fantastic and highly recommended for anyone else experiencing these symptoms. Unfortunately, I forgot what that solution was!

                                  Memory is the second thing to go. I forgot what the first thing was. :~

                                  Schenectady? What am I doing in Schenectady?
