I poured a cup and then got out a rib roast rub it with penzeys shallot pepper and granulated garlic set the oven for 350F for 2hours and put the roast in the oven, then left the kitchen.

You are having so much fun with this varoety of experience that I hesitate to suggest something serious, but I will. I asked DD for Brain Age for Christmas 2 years ago. I used it every day for a year and these symptoms went away. (I don't recall ever being quite as vague as you, but similar forgetfulness happened.) I still occasionally do the exercises, but overall when testing I find I haven't lost much ground at all. And I don't find myself in the garden looking for kitchen tools, etc. This is a book, yes? It sounds like it was helpful to you and I could use some of that help! Got anything innovative for my diminishing eyesight? :-( TammyM, getting stronger lens prescriptions every year It is a Japanese program you use on a Nintendo DS to exercise your brain. It's interactive, so the tests do not resemble the exercises, but reflect gains or losses. It's sorta fun. |

You'll get more done in the end. Friend set water and sugar on to boil for hummingbird feeder and left the HOUSE for 2 hours. (I have given her a clip on the belt type timer since that episode.) The pan was reduced to a glob of metal, it ruined her overhead microwave oven - cud've easily burned the house down. Fortunately, she was about to remodel the kitchen so at least there was no great loss. I set timers now for ANYthing on or in the stove. And I never leave the room if something is on high to boil. |

I need a cure, too, I just lapped the supermarket 3 times filling my list. Even though it's a store I'm not too familiar with, I still should have been more focused on what I was looking for. I'm easily distracted. nancy Take a few minutes to make up an aisle guide to your store if your store doesn't already provide one. Keep it handy near your grocery list. Then you can make up your list sort of in the order you expect to find the stuff. |

TammyM I think you can buy it for a computer, too, but the little DS fits in my purse so I can use it wherever I have to wait, which is lots of places in Italy. You can buy the DS used and reconditioned, too. Not expensive. |
