Thread: you get screwed by your short term memory.

I'm used to forgeting shit but every once in a while it becomes a real pain in the ass. I went out of my way to get some 2 liters of pepsi. I come home put one in the frig and one in the freezer so i can have a cold drink. I dont mind warm soda but prefer it cold so while the one is in the freeze i drink the other. 4 hours later im thirsty as hell and it hit me that i put one in the freezer. Now i have is a 2 liter pepsi popcicle.

I hate dr pepper but im guess im drink the wifes stash. Then she gets mad at me for drinking her shit like i wanted to drink it. This short term memory thing has become a pain in my ass. At least when full on alshiemers kicks in i wont remember shit to get irritated about.

A quick check on teh googles shows that:

a) what you drink can cause short-term memory loss
b) not having what you're used to drinking can cause short-term memory loss

This leads me to conclude:

c) you're totally fucked - and in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sort of way, not a "damn, my wife looks hot today" way.

Also, it looks like you forgot how to spell "Alzheimer's" ... but don't worry, it's probably only a short-term effect.

Hmm, first cup of coffee almost out. Gotta get a refill. Where'd I put the carafe?

Cheers,

The only thing i drink is pepsi unless its not available. Then i move to the next closest flavor until i can get pepsi. I know when, where, and why i got my short term memory issues. The soda has no effect other then headaches from lack of caffine. In fact your better off around me when i run out of cigarettes then you are when i run out of soda.

Im there with you. I get tired of going to the kitchen or other room to grab something and forgeting what the hell i got up for. I carry my keys with one in my pocket so i feel them when im walking otherwise i end up wandering the house trying to remember where i put them. I did however finally put in a key holder in the kitchem. So im starting to get better about hanging them so i always know where they are.

I have to write shit down constantly it fucking sucks. I measure a job out go to make the cuts and if i didnt label ever one of them i have to go measure it again. The best part is my wife finally put a dry erase board on the fridge and i always forget its there. The up side is it limits the amount of work i have to do around the house but the downside is i know it pisses her off. Always the same thing "Is it so hard to check the fridge for things that need to be done?". Then i have to tell her well yeah if you dont remember its there.

Went to the store an hour ago with the wife and bought soda and cigarettes. I put them in the back seat and when we got home i started walking into the house and she asked you forgeting something. I said what and she just laughs and says you have got to be kidding me you just put it in the back seat 5 minutes ago.

Be glad if you dont have the issue because it blows. I blame my dad for this shit. I use to ba able to fall asleep on a book and memorise everything it.
