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??

It’s good to be reminded that I’m not alone, again, with occasionally forgetting names. Also making lists like a lot of us, etc. etc.
Had been wondering about that glass of wine, was just thinking…
because I’ve seen how it can become a problem.
Many of us are spending more time at home, with less to do. Am feeling secure, am my own boss, especially since my husband passed away, and one glass of red wine is healthy, right?
Have seen others do it, and overdo it. We can easily say we deserve it, why not, are not driving, and who cares.
For me, I will try that suggestion to lay off for a week. and see what happens, especially since I know it dulls my mind - a little, anyway.
Taking care of the grey matter I have left, lol.
