Talking to DH recently it would appear that I don't make a lot of sense sometimes :-\. My brain knows what I mean but I don't get the words out so there's a lot of 'eh?', ignoring me, 'what did you say?' …… I am having problems finding words so have to pause; I do try to fill in the gaps which is OK between each other. I take his arm and say 'I need to pause' until I find the correct word. I can feel the cogs working :o ……… I note on here that I miss out words when typing ….. don't notice at the time but re-reading responses ::) ………
So am apologising ;)

Not just you CLKD. What I type often isn't what's in my head. I have to double check my posts. ::)
-
I think it happens to us all CLKD ;)

I am the queen of the thingy and the whatsit.......so you are not alone. My brain knows what I mean but my mouth refuses to co operate. ::)

::) ……….. it makes sense in my head though :-\ … then gets lost between there and my gob ……
I also forget shopping lists, I stand in stores wondering why I've ventured in. I go upstairs and can't remember. I never forget to run my bath though ;-).

If I write something down its committed to memory. Ive always been the same.
It's how I studied for exams many moons ago.
I sit and write out a shopping list and I don't need to take it with me.
From my brain to my mouth is a different story. It doesn't help when hubby gets impatient....as he has been told on many occasions......my mouth works then :P

I can no longer remember what I've written on the list :-\ :-X
-
I've always been the same. Commit it to paper and I remember.....however....I can turn off the heating or lock a door and five minutes later I can't remember and I'm back checking.
Maybe I need to write it down ;D
The brain to mouth link is not great either. Usually worse when I'm tired.

at work i read a list of train stations out, i can pause looking at a word and think how the heck do i say that. Darlington was the last ne!! Ive mentioned it to the works doctorduring a medical, thought i was getting dimentia, he assures me lack of concentration isnormal?!?!
-
ha ha yup that's me! That old saying the "lights on but nobodies
home" ;D ;D ;D

I tend to speed read everything anyway, so would never notice an odd word missed out. DH is far worse than me at forgetting words, and most things at the moment :( and I am not the greatest. eg. I need 3 things from the health shop in a mo, they are all written on the back of my hand.
-
I have problems putting points over …… and often can't remember the names of places we've been to yesterday :-\
-
Earlier this evening I sat looking at the keyboard - the password had completely gone from my head for a whole 25 mins. :'(. I've really lost it …….. usually I can type it in automatically.

I'm the same. Used to be able to write with accuracy and clarity. Now I sometimes read my posts/texts/letters/emails and cringe! (Everest, CKLD?!! ::)). I do write things down to remember them, like HB. No logic, but it seems to work! Am only 43, so goodness knows what I will be like in a decade!

Like me ;D
