I read a lot. But I don't forget where I was in the book when I pick it back up.
There are these things called "bookmarks"...

I use a Kindle.
What I mean is mentally when I open it up. I remember where I was in the story like what was happening.
When you get an annual physical as a senior. It is not really a cognitive test but they give you a test.
They will give you three words. Then continue with other things and like five minutes later they will ask what were the three words.
It is a baseline test for dementia. You begin to lose scratchpad memory.
It makes me laugh because days later I cannot get the words out of my head. I went back a year later and told the doctor what the previous years'words were.
Friends always ask how do you remember all those details about things we did.
When I was in tenth grade all tenth graders had to take a geography test. Capitals of all the states, capitals of countries and many other geography related questions. A bunch of us spent days quizzing each other. It was like 300 questions. I was the only person to get a perfect score.
Doctors ask that you try new things like taking a language course. I did that and it made me crazy. I had to stop because I kept thinking about the conversation sentences of the lessons. It drove me nuts.
Songs stay in my head for days like a broken record. I have to listen to different songs to get the other songs out of my head. I play the songs in my head while swimming.
I still notice that things are not the same as they once were. I make mental mistakes that I would have never made before.

lol. I knew what you meant, just bustin' chops. My memory of "the good old days" never fades. I can remember everything like it was yesterday. Yet it's a challenge to remember things I did this week; or the name of a restaurant we ate at last month. It's more weird than it is worrisome. Speaking of reading though, not sure if you know about this. It came out a few months ago and it's only $3.99 on Kindle for prime days... ![[Linked Image from d1gbp99v447ls8.cloudfront.net]](https://d1gbp99v447ls8.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/19191239/Pendergast-The-Beginning-Featured-Image.png)

Read it. Started it the first day available.
I read everything by Preston & Child. I wait for it.
Check out Young Sherlock from Prime. It starts slowly but then each episode it gets more loaded.
I have thought for years that Pendergast would be on film as a series.

My biggest hurdle right now is trying to understand what I can do to improve my mind. I'm tired of forgetting things... forgetting words mid-sentence. No, it's not something that goes on all day, it's just very aggravating when it does.
Anybody have a magic elixir for that?? Start taking Creatine. You want to make sure it is CreaPure™ creatine, though. It is the only non-Chinese creatine on the market. Lots of the Chinese junk is cut with fillers. Read up on creatine for brain healthThis is what I use: Amazon.comI buy the 1kg container, unflavored, and just put one scoop per day in my water bottle. I would also look at your diet. High levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and low levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol in your 30s - 50s are linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia later in life. Elevated LDL is also a primary driver of strokes, which can cause vascular dementia.

Damn. I am so glad you posted that.
I just started taking creatine a couple months ago. Did the loading phase with some I already had (My wife has spent a small fortune on products from Fighter Diet lol). Since you posted, I double-checked my Amazon subscription to make sure it isn't coming from China (it's not), but made another discovery.
I thought I was taking 4.5 G per day (as the description says), but I'm only taking 750mg and should have been taking 6 tabs! Schiesters!
So... should I 'start over', or just ramp up the dosage?
I'll just buy on your recommendation and scrap my subscription, btw.

Yep. I'm terrible at remembering actors' names.
I threw in the towel on the reader glasses though. Monovision contact in one eye, life changing.
