Yes, in fact people often ask me about names of people or what they did for a living. In my younger days, I had an incredibly good memory....it’s not quite like that now, but still pretty good.

I remember a lot and also what people say, so watch out. 😆

Like an elephant. Sometimes I play stupid though if it’s convenient for me, lol.

Yes, excellent.

Stark

@SW-User do you do well on exams and tests because of it ?

SW-User

@Stark No, because my studying habits and self-discipline are horrible. But I can remember events that go really far back into my life, and what when they occurred.

Only for relatively stupid shit

A surprising thing; I can remember where I was and what I was doing in 1990, enough that I recount it like it was yesterday. Last week’s lunch ? Not so much. Pop refers to [b]that[/b] little phenomenon as “oldtimer’s”. 😅

@bijouxbroussard My wife is basically your age and the same thing is true of her (to a lesser extent than her mother), but she jokes that she might have to join her Mom at the assisted living place soon. What makes her feel worse is that I still have a pretty good memory and I’m close to 5 years older than she is. From conversations I’ve had with you here, it doesn’t seem like yours is bad at all. 🤗

@DragonFruit Among my friends, I was the one who remembered [b]everything[/b], down to minute details. I (and they) are noticing the difference.🤗

@bijouxbroussard It happens....my memory isn’t what it once was, but it’s still better than that of most people around me (though I annoy them by responding with song lyrics at times).
