I Used to Be Able.......?

I used to be able to hear the words from songs on the Radio, and sound tracks on the Movies..

I used to be able, to remember where I parked my car, in town, and where that shop was that I wanted to return to.

I used to be able to remember the birthdays, the addresses, the post codes, the anniversaries..

I used to remember to check, on going out, that all the doors are locked, all the lights are switched off, the house is secure.

I used to remember my Bank details, my Passwords, my Car registration.

I used to remember which trousers match which jacket, what shirt is the right colour, where I left my shoes.

But, Hey! I'm still lucky!

I have all my naggers around, to keep me in line!

Re: I Used to Be Able.......?

Hi

Something I am suffering from since last July.

It is annoying and frustrating.

I can no longer lamp the Drug Dealer next door.

So many ambulances here I am now perceived as a Victim.

I am on serious blood thinners, so hitting people is dangerous, it means soft tissue injury to protect myself.

That means eyes or throat, not something I want to do.

Swimmy, clear those nasty thoughts from your head, you have yourself and your heath to concentrate on now.

Any thoughts of violence should not enter your mind as you know it will blow your BP sky high. Look after yourself, you are the important one.

Good thread Ted.

Can't help but wonder if age and experience leads us to the conclusion that many things really aren't important anymore, hence why we don't really keep them in our immediate working memory.

I used to be able to park the car in a straight line.

Hi

Yes you are right and I have come to the same conclusion, it is very good advice, thank you for that.

It still annoys that he is dealing from my driveway.

Tell him that you either want a percentage of the take or a hefty discount or both. After all if you can't beat 'em - capitalise from them.

True Dex!

I'm thinking of inventing some sort of "defragmenter" in tablet form, but I'll have forgotten, all about it, by tomorrow!

Just tell them you can't hear them and maybe they'll stop .
