Thanatos340 1 #1 October 20, 2005 What was I saying?? Oh Yea.. Memory Problems. I have always been a little forgetful. But the past few weeks.. It has gotten ridiculous. Not just little things either. Completely forgetting about Client Appointments, Having no recollection at all of conversations with friends, Making Plans with someone and then forgetting completely about them. Anyone got any great memory enhancement tips and/or advice?? What is the worst thing you ever just plain forgot about? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #6 October 20, 2005 There's a product that is available to help you. Evn my ADHD ass can use it. It's a calendar, and there are many styles and models to choose from. I prefer the daily calendar type. I've even got a back-up electronic calendar. It's pimp. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #15 October 20, 2005 QuoteGuess the sex wasn't very good Actually, it wasn't bad at all. Even though I didn't do it on purpose, it was kind of a nice payback for me since he never did call me after we hooked up. I recovered quite nicely and was quite gracious the rest of the evening and when I ran into him again. It's so fun being the bigger person.
