, I think it's just useless information that for some reason sticks in our brains. You know, like the stuff doctors check your memory with: who's the President? what year is it? Heck, I can remember that stuff; ask me if I brushed my teeth today, or this week. Now THAT'S the stuff I can't remember.

Rose,....that's for sure! For the life of me I couldn't remember if I had already washed my face this morning or not...so I washed it anyway...probably twice! I have to make lists of everything...even stuff like that and whether I ate or not..etc. I have a sister-in-law turning sixty and she was all concerned cuz her memory wasn't up to par and now she had to start making lists. Geez...I've been making lists for years and I'm 49 so what does that make me...an idiot? I told my mom that she was just getting older...that doesn't necessarily mean you're ill. It's when you forget part of a day happening or whole conversations, or where you are, etc. Oh, I shouldn't be so judgemental....It would probably bother me too if I didn't have much else wrong with me. But in comparison..... ??? hmmm. oh the normal ones...aren't they cute!
