I kid you not, my memory is terrible, I can be introduced to someone, and still not remember their name.
How’s your memory as you’ve aged over the years?
My son also told me what his profession was, when a friend asked me what he did, I couldn’t remember,
…
what was the question again???
I best not laugh, because some take this very seriously.
Mind you I have never been able to retain a lot of information, but, it has definitely got worse.
I’ve always been dreadful with names but I do remember faces.
It’s OK for most things until someone asks me what day it is.That’s quite a tough one,I usually think it’s a Sunday.
My memory is still in good working order - thankfully - several of my friends rely on it being so. I have very strange 'phone calls from them at times!
In the middle of chatting my memory suddenly comes to a stop and I can forget what I was about to say . I am dreadful at remembering names too . I did a test with the doctor as I was so worried but she said it’s just age .she gave me an address to remember while chatting then asked me the address a minute later and I burst out laughing cause I couldn’t remember
My brain needs more RAM like a computer … is that what its called?
Whatever it is, Susan - I’ve got the same.
(You did say you were Susan, didn’t you?) 
Until I went in hospital my memory was excellent. Aphasia screwed that up but I am recovering. Numbers particularly work for me - Fourier Analysis, Bode Plots, my first car’s number plate…
I’ve always had problems with remembering names (not good for a teacher although I did devise a sort of aide memoire to help me!). Otherwise I think my memory is pretty good for a seventy something …
In the time it takes me to pick up my laptop and open up a new browser tab, I forget totally what it was I wanted to look up. Honestly, I kid you not, it happens all the time, so annoying! I have actually started keeping a notebook handy and jotting down what I want to look up before I get to the laptop 
I have heard this is known as Googleheimers Disease 
My memory of facts and names has always been sharp. I am pretty good at multitasking for the most part. Recalling names, events, anything, even license plate numbers sticks with me. Recalling conversations in movies I’ve seen five years ago makes me not rewatch them.
And before anyone says it must be wonderful, keep in mind that less happy times and conversations are also lodged in my brain. If someone offended me or hurt my feelings 10 years ago, I can hear it like it was said this morning. 
But, the happy times and the ability to recall a grocery list when I need it, or helping a friend with a name from the past is satisfying. As I joke and say, “There! Now I can sleep tonight!”
cheers, make mine a large one, oops!! who said what ??
My memory has always been my saving grace but it is not good in a couple of areas, names is one and time is another.
Names ceased to be a problem when safety regulations meant wearing hard hats because everybody wrote their name on their hat. These days I don’t know enough people for remembering their name to be a problem.
When I say time I don’t mean time keeping, I am always early, but relative time. I have little idea when something occurred in the past, for example whether it happened a year ago or a decade ago unless I can definitely pin it to a very memorable event.
Having said all that my memory is not what it used to be.
I take an annual Cognitive Function Test which so far has scored me as above average. My next test is due in January and I’m wondering how much my score will decrease by.
Why ?
My memory is atrocious. I have to put appointments in my phone calendar or I won’t remember.
I do despair of how bad my memory is to be honest .
How is your memory?
Better than my hearing. 
and my eyesight there was something else but I forgot.
Why not? I want to stay in control of myself for as long as possible. If my cognitive abilities start to fail, I want to be aware of that too…if only to make decisions for myself while I’m still capable.
Good reason
