I was chatting with a friend this afternoon & I had to stop to recall my age

[irisblue]

Any one else have those brain farts?

Some days I am 50 & some days I am 83.

1. Names get me.

[BOSSHOG]

2. More than once recently

I turned around and drove back by our house to make sure I shut the garage door. I’m 70. I can clearly remember things and conversations of 55 years ago, but 60 seconds ago, sometimes not.

3. You mean you feel like 50? or 83? I know how old I am because after 2 types

of cancer and treatments - I cherish every one of them, days and years.

8. I am finding that my knees set my age chronometer some days

It was rainy, chilly & windy today, my knees were unhappy, so I fely closer to 80.

12. MY DW has the same problem (bad knees) and it is painful for me to see her suffer

and how it limits her mobility. Hope you are closer to 40 tomorrow and all you pain goes away!! ☮

4. They say you're actually an adult at about 24-25

… and I don’t think it’s uncommon to pause our self-image at that age. My mum confirmed this when I suggested it years ago (I think in her mid-50s) and again in her 80s. I’m usually shocked when I realize how old I actually am. I’m still having that dream where I’ve forgotten my HS locker combination and am late for class, fer cryin’ out loud!

As Zappa said, time is an affliction.

11. I have dreams about not remembering the locker combination for the locker

I had in 7th and 8th grade.

Remember the dreams of being in school, you've been given a test, and you can't even begin to answer any of it?

I'd have those dreams on occasion, and they were always about math class. After I graduated high school, those dreams disappeared. Some thirty years later I took more math classes (algebra2, college algebra, calculus, and statistics) and those dreams came back.

My interpretation is that those dreams are simply anxiety about the class.

14. 4 10 64 was my favorite locker combination.

I can also remember my phone number and that of my best friend—50+ years later. But, like the person who drives back to the house to check on the garage, I have to recheck all sorts of things I suddenly can’t remember if i have done or not.

[yellowdogintexas]

16. I can still remember the phone number we had when I was 6

and if I think a minute, my granny's and my aunt's

I don't know anybody's phone number any more because my phone take care of that stuff for me. I do know my daughter's because I got our phones the same day and her number is enough like mine that I can remember it

[yellowdogintexas]

17. I agree. That dream for me is that it is final exam time and I have not only not studied

I have never attended class which leads to the "am I going to get the credit"
I had a lot of math anxiety dreams too

[buzzycrumbhunger]

18. Blarg!

I HATE that one! 😜

[yellowdogintexas]

20. then there is the dream where you really really need to find a bathroom right the hell now

and you are in a big building which ought to have plenty of bathrooms but every one you go into is filthy or has all sorts of strange adaptations of sinks and so forth as substitute toilets. I hate that damn dream

[buzzycrumbhunger]

21. LOL

That's one I recognize as a dream, at least, and it wakes me right up to get to the bathroom..😜

[Ohiya]

19. And then you notice,

You forgot to put on your clothes!

[ShazzieB]

5. I don't have trouble remembering my age.

But I'm the queen of going into another room and not being able to remember what I went in there for!

When that happens, i go back to the room I just left and it will usually pop back into my head once I get there. If that ever stops working, I will worry!

[multigraincracker]

6. Now, where did I put my phone..Honey, will you call my phone?

[leftieNanner]

7. My daughters always remember my age!

After a certain point, my Mom said she was "plenty" nine.

[Srkdqltr]

9. I'm 83 as well. I am not sure what im supposed to be at this age.

Im not the woman in the rocking chair looking at the windows. Im not the 50yo running after work and grands. I do what I can and what I can't, I don't. Still caring for husband, driving granddaughter sometimes. Keeping on keeping on. Brain farts and all.
Making cute quilts for charity.

10. Sometimes. Maybe. Wait, what was the question?

[yellowdogintexas]

15. some days I have to check the guests on Stephanie Miller to remember what day it is

Monday is Rude Pundit
Tuesday is Charlie Pierce and Jodi Hamilton
Wednesday is Bob Cesca and Malcom Nance
Thursday is Dana Goldberg
Friday is Fugelsang and Frangela.

Weekends are a total bust
