You know you're old when...

I must be old as the last fill up for fuel cost more than my first car.

"Hit the hay"? Who says that anymore?

Or, head for the barn.

I still say: "I am going to saddle up and ride out" when I leave the office

Today I have decided. I am not old. I am 25 plus shipping and handling.

This is true.

Honestly, I don't think he read the OP so didn't know how to play. It doesn't matter, we had some fun with him. And he did too.

And since you so kindly offered the side effects, will go back to telling her about ginko

That happens to me every once in a while, where I'm thinking of something and it's right on the tip of my tongue but I can't quite remember. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. It can be frustrating. I blame it on google. It makes it too easy to just look up something when we can't remember and then we get lazy.

THIS particular incidence, it's more about short-term memory and

and umm

well, there was something I was going to say, it was really important, but I simply can't

things just don't stick if I don't write them down really quick, based on their real value to my life. It was a much-used saying from the past, that these #whippersnappers just wouldn't understand.

Tell me about this Prevagen: had you had good luck with it? I keep seeing ads on TV.

I get what you're saying and that happens to me. I'm just saying that I think the ability to look stuff up has made our brain lazy. Maybe we're also just getting older.

Hopefully it'll come to you... what you're trying to think of.

Something helpful I do is when I think of something I quickly send myself an email so I will remember it later. We all have our phones handy and it's just so easy to do.

Me to my Apple Watch every day it seems: "Set a reminder for 3:15 PM take seltzer out of freezer"

If I forget, my afternoon slushie gets too frozen to drink.....
