You call and say, ...Sis, you know it happens to me. You call and say, do you remember so & so? For the life of me, it could be someone that I hung around with in school and I haven't a clue! On the other hand, I could walk past people on the street that I am related too and not see them. I would know them (well, some of them -lol), but, unless they speak to me, nada, nothing, wouldn't see them at all.<BR/><BR/>Hilary, I have actually done that! Read a post, gone to the comments, read all the others, then had to go back and read the post, 'cause I forgot what it was about!Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-722014651928627212007-10-18T09:49:00.000-06:002007-10-18T09:49:00.000-06:00Hilary!!

You must have met a lot of people only once, and while they might remember the reporter who interviewed them, it would be more difficult to remember all those interviewees!<BR/><BR/>dfTerrie, nice to 'see' you! Glad to hear this is apparently normal. One of these days, maybe I'll REMEMBER to put a pen and pad of paper beside the bed so I can write this stuff down when it comes to me in the middle of the night!!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-8223303775385132392007-10-18T08:17:00.000-06:002007-10-18T08:17:00.000-06:00Bag Lady,This is just a normal part of aging (so t...Bag Lady,<BR/><BR/>This is just a normal part of aging (so the doctors tell me) but I had a perfect memory until about ten years ago and now I find that small and large things escape me all the time. At first I was embarrassed but now I've learned to live with it.<BR/><BR/>If something does grab me in the middle of the night, I have learned to turn on the light and write it down, otherwise it's a lost idea that never returns.<BR/><BR/>TerrieTerrie Farley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-36969910165462025812007-10-18T08:12:00.000-06:002007-10-18T08:12:00.000-06:00Oh,yeah, Bag lady.

Often I will remember all manner of details about said person save for the name.<BR/>What I've taken to doing is saying so. "It's good to see you, but I'm so sorry, your name escapes me."<BR/>It usually goes over well.Leah J. Utashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497599109798015888noreply@blogger.com
