Forgetting Things

[Paul87]

Why does your mind instantly forget things?

For instance I was about to research something on the net, looked at the time and instantly forgot what I was about to do.

I know im not the only one this happens to, so why do our minds do this? and how?

Thanks

Hey Paul,

Dunno!

maybe its an age thing but surely 43 isn't old enough?

I heard a brilliant name for it,

A craft moment

Can't Remember A F**cking Thing

LOL

LOL!! Oh bless, Paul. Well I don't have that problem - not quite so instantly, anyway. It has its advantages though, eh - like conveniently forgetting certain birthdays...borrowing money...that it's your round.....

i forget things easily (due to a neurological condition). but i tend to remember things what i did last week than what i did today!! eeekkk.

[Paul87]

I'm in my 20s

It only happens like twice a year or something.

Also
"conveniently forgetting certain birthdays...borrowing money...that it's your round...."

Sorry. I had a really good answer but its gone now.

Me too - but I can remember things from when I was a toddler!

i've lost a pair of varifocals (�150 worth) & a set of remote control car keys in the last fortnight. I'll be b*ggered if I can remember where I've left them!

I used to laugh at my mum when she would open a cupboard door and then gaze vacantly at the contents.
What goes around comes around!

I said the same to one of my sisters last week mrs_o.

We used to laugh with Mum (not at her), when she couldn't find her purse, glasses, or other bits & bobs.

The same things are now happening to us, so yes, what goes around.....very frustrating at times!

I had to laugh at the gazing vacantly bit. I do so much of that - it's pretty embarassing if I'm at work or out shopping but I do try to make a joke of it.
Like smudge and, I imagine, most people I can remember things from ages ago but not what I went upstairs to get a minute ago

[smudge]

We would have laughed at her, but it only made her worse -poor Mum!

[what..the?]

Im 27 now and I know it will come with time but a really am thankful I dont have those serious conditions where you go out for a bottle of milk and dont come back for 30 years because you have forgotten who you are and there you live.
