Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I wish I could remember a quarter of the stuff I know I have forgotten. Then again it would probably be all those advanced math courses that have been unneeded for the last 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Isn't that the awful truth, Allie? I have a head full of little bits and pieces of trivia, but can't remember my own home phone number. None of that miscellaneous info has EVER gotten together to put so much a cent in my pockets, either. Â I know, for instance that an arshin equals 28 inches. Very handy if you happen to have an old Russian rifle with a rear sight calibrated in arshins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klondike SASS Life #29713 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'd just like to remember remembering . As said it is ridiculous the little and trivial things we remember and the important (or somewhat important) things we can't, or really have to think about. How many times do we go into a room and cannot remember what for, you go out and start over. I have started to go do something and get distracted by something else and never get the original task done. Old does beat the alternative though.

Apache Hawk 60642 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Back when I was truckin' and smokein' , I smoked 4 packs a day of non-filtered type. Â My trigger for liting up was a DOT scale. I see that, and I'd light up , no matter what. Â I saw this sign that read "Scale Open , 1 mile ahead." Â So, I poured a cup of coffee, light up. The scale closed and then re-opened, so I light up. Â This went on for a while. Cause once you where in line , you must cross the scale. Â To make a lonsg story short, I was driving across the DOT scale , with a cup of hot coffee in my right hand, 2 lite smokes in the left hand, 1 burning in the ash tray and had one lite in my mouth and trying to put another in my mouth and light it too !!! Â I stopped and rolled the window down and asked the officer if he had seen my smokes ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt Jen Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 You know, the brain is a thing that needs a work out to stay fresh and flexible. Just like an airplane, your muscles, or anything else, if you don't use it, it won't work as well, eventually.  The more you use it, the better it works.  Learning a new skill in advancing age—such as math, a new language, deciding to like a new kind of music...—may seem like a lot of work, but the act of doing it makes the brain work better for other things in life as well.  Rosettastone...
