Definitely not alone! 43 here and I can't remember shit haha
😂 3

Hahaha yea man, I have 13 years of notes where I’ve done things. But I have to continue to use my own notes to help me because I can’t remember things. But a 20 year old can remember almost everything.
a
Yup! BUT, I can still remember the dialog to most Seinfeld episodes and 80s song lyrics so go figure haha
r
Yea same here I can remember all things like all Nintendo console release from 80s to now. But you get me in the phone from a design call and it’s like I become slow. Just so weird .
My wife says it’s because I have a type A personality and if things are not perfect my brain rejects it. Until I put it in terms my brain understands. I think it’s just nerves and inside I allow fear to drive things. Really not sure. But it’s annoying, because I have done a lot in my career and sometimes I feel dog slow
a
That could be! I'm the 8th kid in my family so not type A but I think it's more short term memory for me.... We joke that the gene pool was too diluted by the time they got to #8 haha
r
Hahahaha that’s funny
8 kids wow man. Your parents had their hands full
When’s your upgrades start?
a
Haha yup! I argue it just took them 8 tries to get it right

2 pm today is go time

Sweet, good luck man. Just remember you can also revert with snapshots and restores. Ever upgrade I’ve done and I’ve done a lot. I still get nervous and for me I just say. I can revert so don’t sweat it.
a
Yup exactly...sql db backup from last night and server snapshots in place so pretty low risk really
j
Yep I hear ya lol

Old age I've started to get to the screw it, just do it and see what happens mentality haha

Same here. Can’t remember stuff I should remember, but can %100 remember the Contra cheat code from the original Nintendo system. Up, up, down, down…..

Ok, feeling pretty lucky here...mine didn't hit until 51...but then it hit hard one day and hasn't gotten any better. COVID brain doesn't help either.

Huh...? I can't remember why I am here... 🤨

these young pups... 🙂 Mind you, the older you get the less the "you can't say, do, be like that" filter kicks in... 🤣

I keep a Notepad session open all day and type things into it so I don't forget. AFK, I text or email myself stuff to remember. That plus some decent Organizational skills, and I'm more or less able to fend off aging-induced Amnesia most of the time...
r
If I could only take a smart pill. Like that movie they made a couple years ago. Lol
a
i know what movie you're referring to but can't remember the name 😂

Use OneNote instead of Notepad, at least then it auto-saves. But yes if my Notepad file ever gets corrupted I'm retiring there and then. Having said that, I'm knocking 50 and don't seem to be having memory issues particularly - although I do struggle to remember occasional words I am looking for when writing documentation
w
The only memory issues @James Rankin has is trying to remember the last time Sunderland won anything :)

I have no problems remembering the last couple of years, thankyou

relatable for sure

my memory is in fact getting better since I started to remove heavy metals from my body and adopt a healthy lifestyle. You are you're worst own enemy.

What, like Metallica? (In all seriousness, be interested to know what to cut out)

I’m 40 next week and I’m constantly saying @James Kindon instead of @James Rankin and then having to check which blog post I’m actually telling people to look up

also my back hurts now, getting old is fun
if you can set your schedule around your most productive hours you might have more fun, I have a few good hours around 9am, then slow down, and pick up again around 3 or 4

@Mike Streetz (O_P) I turned 41 this year my back hurts as well so does my neck and my shoulders 😞

i turn 66 in 19 days. since 26-may, i have lost 40 lbs (18.144 kgs) and have gotten off all blood pressure medication. i don’t know the european sizes, but i have gone from 40” waist pants to 34” and 18” neck shirts (that i couldn’t button) to 16”. i just bought a 42L blazer because my previous 48L blazer was now a tent. i have reduced my carbohydrate and refined sugar intake by at least 90% and go to the gym at 4 AM for a 45 minute workout and then go for a 7 mile (11.27 kms) walk at lunch. i average a 4.34 mph (2.70 kmph) pace. not bad for an old fart

Seriously impressive for "an old fart".... This old fart needs to do the same... 🙂
w
Here is my daily afternoon walk. I challenge any of you young squirts to walk that pace :)
j
Pretty good, I walk five miles home in just over an hour
w
I finally reached my weight goal plus one pound more. I am now 179.0 pounds or 81.193 kgs for a total loss of 42.2 lbs or 19.1416 kgs.

Impressive, @Webster Webster keep it going 🙂

Carl your no old fart sir. I look at it as your very wise and can teach us young pups the way of life. Nice pictures as well.

Age is a number. Eat right and make sure you get some sort of exercise. I find a quick 15 min walk will help me focus.

According to Strava, in the 5 months and 3 weeks I spent dropping the 42.2 pounds, I spent 78 hours walking a total of 280 miles (450.616 km)
d
Started being more healthy myself in Sept. 2021. Went from 233 lbs to 167 lbs as of last Friday. Still got a little more to go to get to a healthy weight, but getting there. I walk 3 miles during my lunch hour at about a 3.3 mph pace and don't feel I could ever get much faster. My short legs just won't go faster than that and an old knee injury prevents me from doing much more anyway. But eating healthy and exercising are working well for me. Love hearing how well others are doing. Great job Carl. I'm 54. Not too far behind ya.
