I will be 84 next Sunday, doing well, but just recently I couldn’t come up with a name, again.
I do get aggravated with myself, but trying not to.

Am having a glass of red wine right now. Was realizing ... it would be better if I do not hv that afternoon wine! I am torn, do I continue this pleasure or give it up. It doesn’t interfere with my daily activities, it is enjoyable, but I think it does interfere with clear thinking, like remembering names.
I do know that this is a minor problem, and I do feel for anyone who has REAL problems - having been a caregiver of two husbands with serious illnesses.
Just keep wondering about my wine habits.

Hi fellow 84 year old!! IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) a glass of wine...if it is just one...will probably do more to help, by way of relaxing you than to do harm if you forget a name. I believe I have earned, in my 84 years, the right to have a glass of wine! And I give you MY permission to NOT torture yourself over one glass of wine a day!
And no, these things are not silly because it's the little things that drive us nuts, right? We need to invite the poster above "fromthehill" to come and have a glass with us....don't ya think??
