Ditto on the memory loss. I have to ask my kids a lot of stuff. Tell them to refresh my memory about things. They had better not take advantage of me! I'll have to tell them I will write it down if I promise to get them something!

When we watch tv episodes I sometimes have to go back and look at the previous episode and fast forward through parts of it. I HAVE to see it in order to refresh my memory but I am also a very visual person. I remember all of it then.

Some other aspects of my memory are very sharp though. I can always remember a face and where I saw them but not a name!

My dad and his siblings all died from some form of dementia. I'm really scared of getting Alzheimer's so I play computer games and word games. QuizUp app on my phone is awesome. You pick your interest and compete w other online players. Lots of adventure games with strategy and puzzle. I read Wikipedia a lot too.

I figure all the drinking I did in my younger years doesnt help much either!
