Hi all, since becoming peri I have noticed that I can be talking about something and all of a sudden something completely random pops out of my mouth!! Yesterday in the middle of a very quiet staff room I was going to say that I couldn't believe that it is July next week but out came ' I can't believe it's going to be September next week' to which everyone turned to look at me as if I were mad lol. I am always coming out with something silly, keep blaming meno but could be just old age setting in lol. Does anyone else on here have this problem or something similar?
-
Yes and I lose words, sometimes stopping mid sentence searching for alternative words. Very embarrassing. The word comes back to me when it no longer matters! :-\
-
It's something I've suffered from since I had ME 20-odd years ago - it rears it's head when I'm tired or under the weather. Very frustrating, and makes you feel a real fool.
-
Oh yes, me too. I can have something in my head, thought out fairly intelligently, but by the time it comes to the spoken word, well....... Words get muddled, say about 8 words when 2 would have done. I come across as some thick old wifie! ;D Old maybe, but not as thick as I sound.
-
Yes, know the feeling too.....I say things to DH like..' Can you just get me the thingy from the kitchen etc:
Mmmm thingy is a very useful word ;D
-
It's not just a female thing! Husband has just said, " I've pinged your hingy!" Before you get too excited, I'll translate. ' The washing machine has finished the washing program and to stop it making that irritating noise, I have switched it off.' ;D
-
Ju Ju, I liked your husband's version better! ;D
-
So glad to hear that I'm not the only one that has this problem lol. This menopause thing has a lot to answer for... Although it can be useful sometimes too when I am having a blonde moment lol
-
We have lots of 'blond' or 'senior' moment topics on here ........ ::)
-
Hubby just had one of those moments. Asked if I was making a Chicken Tikka thingy for tea. Indeed I was & very nice it was too, for a thingy. ;D
-
;D ...... any thingy left over?
<hands plate in your direction>
We have lots of widgets and thingies in this house and as for that thing that changes over the TV channels, it doesn't work the phone tha' knows ;D even when held to my ear ......... ::)
-
In my house the word is oogiboo, it applies to a lot of things. To my grown up childrens annoyance I have problems with their names too. ::)
-
Thingy all gobbled up CLKD. ;D
As for remote control. Son, who was jet lagged, tried to answer phone with TV remote. Duh!
-
I had to call today to the cell phone provider to increase my calls limit, and when asked, I don't know why I said my maiden name rather than my current :-X Been married for 13 years now, should remember what my name is........
-
Happens all the time ::) Sometimes I just give in and describe it instead - "can you get the butter out of the big white cold thing in the kitchen" ;D
-
:rofl:
Many years ago and I hadn't been married for long - I had to get my cheque book out in order to remember how to spell our surname :-\ ..... and we'd been together 5 years prior to getting wed ::)
-
I have to spell my surname to restaurants etc all the time, drives me bonkers. Never thought it would cause so many problems.
-
when I was in France, the word 'truc' came in handy - very like 'thingy'. And doing "betises" (silly things) is what I'm good at when I'm tired.
2 days ago I called someone I know by the wrong name - I called her the name of the woman standing right next to her. Then I said "oh sorry, YOU'RE Ann...." I felt such a fool. I was tired. She looked like she felt sorry for me, which makes it worse!
I've had CFS/ME and fibro for ?? years, since 1988. Maths beyond me. When first ill, I mistook a passenger on a London bus for the bus conductor and asked her which way the bus went, then when she glared at me and said "I don't know, could you move so I can sit down" I just wanted to sink into the ground.
-
My inability sometimes to be able to finish a sentence drives my hubby nuts. I also seem to be able to start a conversation in my head but only start to talk half way through and expect others to know what I'm on about.
When hubby starts to get impatient it just makes me worse. I try to form the words in my head before I say them.but my mouth doesn't always say the things I want it too.
Makes me sound a bit daft really ;D

I have whole conversations in my head, sometimes though I think I talk out loud …… by the looks others give me ::)
Brain on fast spin ……. good description!
-
My husband has conversations with himself and provides dialogue from me, so I don't have to reply. Great first thing in the morning when grunting is all I can do! Some of ' my' replies are hilarious, providing lots of laughter.
-
It's good to see that I'm not the only one doing this 'jumbled' thingy lol. I seem to get racy brain at night too where such a load of disconnected rubbish goes through my head that I feel exhausted from all the 'activity' lol. My kids and grandchildren all get called the wrong names and the older ones just stand and wait for me to get it right! Worse thing is I remember my gran getting names muddled and we used to laugh........ :-\ :oops: :oops: :oops:
-
Just looked at my diary to check the time of the eye test I made. Instead of writing eye test by the time, I've written 'review list'. What list? I don't write lists! Now my head is spinning! A coded message to myself? :o
-
When I was 11-ish my grandma would call me all the names of her sisters, by which time I had scedaddled!
