Don't panic Ted. I'll remind you about it tomorrow.



Er, what was it you wanted me to remind you about?

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!

I speed read that as "nadgers"

I used to hold a paintbrush steadily enough to be able to paint a straight line.

I used to walk for miles and miles without tiring.

I used to sleep through the night without waking up to go to the loo.

That means eyes or throat, not something I want to do.
Dark nights and baseball bats spring to my mind.

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

I think it’s when you don’t realise your mistake, is the time to worry.
I think most of what we do is via automatic pilot whilst our mind is ahead and thinking about something else!

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

Maybe we should have an "I have never been able to" thread. As in I have never been able to remember all the moves in the macarena....

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

To run up and down the stairs

Get up from the floor without pushing myself up with one hand reaching for a chair or table

Get up from my knees without making that stupid squeaky grunting sound

Even just bending over to pick something up makes that funny sound.

Maybe all you need is a good hearing aid Ted??
I have been told that deafness accelerated memory loss??
I won't tell you about my problems, but similar !!
