Thread: Age and Memory

Interesting you mention Luminosity, with my wife's dementia from the Huntingdons disease, mind games and actually board games helps her with her recall, and has helped me too, cause I have some short term recall problems. But the Luminosity helps. Tc

It's said that as we age, memory is the second thing to go...

Just can't remember what goes first.

That reminds me, just the other day the missus was telling me.....

Supposedly our perception of time changes in proportion to our age. When we are 5 years old a year seems like a long time because it equals 1/5 of our total existence. But when we are, say, 50 a year seems to go by faster because it is only equal to 1/50 of our total existence. Maybe there's some truth to it?

You just may have something there. I do know this the older I get the more time slips away. Memories of my youth and the good times come to mind and the one's I just as soon forget happily I have or at-least put them far enough back that they don't count. For the young among us make good memories and the old fogies like me get what my wife tells me i have and that's a selective memory. (kind of like my hearing)

Just reminded me ..........

What?

Eh? eh?

Wasn't there a thread posted yesterday with the same subject?

Oh wait, it was this one...

it's a proven fact the older you get the faster time seems to pass. There are many theories for this. Personally I think it's the same deal like when you are expecting a new razor and they say 2 months and it seems to take forever but when you have a dentist's appointment in 2 months it seems to come really fast.

You start to realize at some point your days are numbered and you want time to pass more slowly but like that dentist appointment it just accelerates.

The above is an accurate statement, but there is one exception I've found. The last week of work, before you retire..... takes FOREVER!
