We all gained wisdom as we aged, maybe lost a bit of sharpness elsewhere(?)

Yes, it's sorta like an hourglass.
Also like falling in love. Your heart fills up while your brain empties.

According to my father, "getting married is something best undertaken before you've got any sense, or after its all gone"!

Depends what you call medical.
When I was young my muscles were supple, well, all except one.
Now I am old and my muscles are stiff. Well all except one.

I thought someone might bring that up!

You bet

Names
Easy ones
Bugs heck outa me
Can't leave it alone

So

I've learned to go thru the alphabet

By the time I get to 'U' and beyond, I know I'm in trouble

But

Some letters always seem more attractive to me
So I dwell on them.....add letters

It works

Now, if I start losing that alphabet, I'll be in trouble

Everbod will be 'what's his name'

I remember gramma calling everthing 'whatchcallit'

That is the exact same process that I go through. Mine is not as reliable as I would like it to be.

I sometimes get on the computer to look something up, and then I forget what I was going to look up. DOH!

 

[horseless carriage]

Up being the operative word. What did you expect, I am with the,"one banana short of a bunch, or a sandwich short of a picnic," posters.

There are two things this question brings to mind for me. One is that I make my coffee at night before I go to the bed for morning. I grind the beans and put them in the filter thing, then pour the water in. I have left out the water a few times. Sometimes I can't remember if I poured it in and check it and find I did.

The other thing is that since I take a number of supplements and vitamins, I will have the bottles right there in front of me and can't remember if I took that one yet or not. Now I put them in a pill keeper thing that I fill every Sunday for the week.

I'm sure most of us can relate to those minor things, but we can congratulate ourselves can't we, for the areas of our lives where we have "learned a trick or two" over the years!

wisdom of the ages...I learned that it is not a good idea to spit into the wind....Also not a very good idea to pee on an electric fence!!

I get the wind part but why pee on the electric fence, (did someone dare you to do it?)?
