3. "At what age did you start having senior" was my first original post.

I then started a second thread that finished the question with "moments?". The point being I am beginning to experience forgetfulness mid thought. I've always had a bad memory...especially in emotional moments. My auditory memory is bad. I have an excellent memory in a political debate or when brainstorming. The exact right thing will come to me. My long term memory is great. But now when I go to log onto my favourite news websites I will forget mid thought the name of said websites. And I go to them daily. 5 seconds later the thought pops into my head.

4. Last month I noticed I was having days filled with mystery moments

Thus-far, 3 times over the last month I've forgotten the dog was out back on her run.

5. Oh. I'm 51 and I've had about six empty moments when I was just about

to think something... gaps... in the last few weeks. So far they are only moments. Hoping they stay moments only. LOL!

7. Well I'm 53 aqnd my 95yo grandpa keeps telling me

he's starting to forget things as he gets older. I keep thinking "Dang (I don't cuss in front of grandpa..not even in my head), I forget how I got over here today - I hope I remember to make to 95 so I can see what that's like!"

but yeah - I used to fancy myself quick of wit and cleverly wordy but these days I'll be looking at a thing and can't remember what it is. I mean I KNOW what it is, how to use it, etc... but I can't say its' name.

starting to get a little worried actually.

I had one grandmother who refused a kidney medication at 98 because she was worried about long term kidney damage. Would that I live to be that wise and together.

9. lol Yes indeed!

I posted last year about how hard it was to find a contractor to do some work at his house - he wanted new fence installed. Well we finally got all that figured out and the new fence was put up right before Christmas and we are all very happy with it. It's vinyl and the installer was telling him how the new materials they use are so advanced it will probably last him 40~50 years. He looks at the guy and says "So what? I'm 95 - I don't expect I'll know it if it does."
