Memory Spasms

That's euphemistically called a "senior moment" for someone my age.

bsmart, these senior moments happen to me all the time. I'll be in the middle of a sentence and forget the damm word I'm trying to use! I'll be interested to hear what skunky has to say about this. Hope he doesn't tell me I have dementia!

My friends and I call them brain farts.

BTW, bsmart, my "brain farts" started when I turned 30.

That does not bode well for the rest of us, especially since you had your terminal degree at 25, right? Heck, I 24 and have at least two more degrees to go before I am finished.

Actually I did a second masters after finishing my Ph.D. - finished the coursework at age 31 or 32 (can't remember - :funn: ).

That was a cool program. It was an NSF-funded institute at USC (that's South Carolina) for professors with Ph.D.'s in areas related to computer science because there was a need for computer science professors in the state of South Carolina. Imagine having a class full of know-it-all Ph.D.'s. They had trouble finding professors willing to take us on. Quite an experience. We really gave our profs a hard time.

bsmart...I think we have located the problem.

I just don't know what to say... because of the mass amount of margaritas consumed this evening at coco's with such wonderful folks, so it don't matter family restaurant (in luvurne, ala.)

I have been having a lot of memory lapses for the most elementary things as of late. I think it may be lack of sleep? Maybe Dr. Skunkyape can chime in on this one. Like today, while involved in an AIM session with a friend I was trying to remember how to spell "dodge," so that I could tell my friend that we should play dodge ball at the Ramsey Athletic Center on Saturday. :funn: Anyone else have this problem from time to time?

Misspelling incomprehensible or discombobulate at your age is acceptable. If you misspell dodge you are unconscious.

Actually I haven't done that in quite a while. I do not currently own an iron since I am not currently living at home. I just tumble all of my clothes in the dryer and I hate fabric softener.

I used to have a band director who referred to this as "cerebral flatulence"

Brain fart is the correct medical term. You only need to worry if you don't realize you can't remember how to do something.
