Taps one of the things you will notice is ice creams do not taste like they once did.
One very often has to ask twice if asked a question this is automatic.
You should start doing exercises to help walking properly.
One of the annoying things is one tends to fall over if one contacts rough ground.
You begin to have thoughts that you do not share with others
You do tend to think of past occurrences which did cause pain at the time.
If one is very lucky one tends not to give a damn about anything,
I could keep on forever but it is quite boring. Chin up. 🌺🌺

It's all true, and I love this post and the comments, too. What's weird is that my kids (in their 50's and 60's) have begun complaining about this same issue. I don't think we're going to get used to it...

Lethologica or the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon is the inability to retrieve a specific word despite knowing it. Ha! I won't even be able to remember the word much less its meaning. Oh, well.

Good afternoon
I love playing rummy. As for giving an impromptu speech, count me out.

Thank you for teaching me a new word! Now if I can just remember it! 
I think everyone has a touch of that and it would be great if it never happens but you always do quite well and no one would ever know that you experience that situation.

i am only 8 months away from 80 and yes I can't quite work out how it has happened but I can write what ever words I want but I can't hold a conversation without fading out. I blame it no so much on age as just no one to talk with. Jim is very quiet and I can't be bothered making friends and really the truth is they don't really want to spend hours with me.
