Do you ever completely forget the most inane words mid sentence during a conversation, and then have to act the word out , you know , like doing the hand movements to describe a Tea Towel or some shit .

I find myself doing this a lot recently and have deduced that my brain is slowly turning into a mushy ball of uselessness and I will soon be a drooling old fart who tries to eat soup with a fork .

Surely I'm not alone .... Am I??

No, you are not alone. I forget what I'm saying mid sentence, forgot why I walked in to a room, what I'm doing while I'm doing it. So if your old, I must be ancient.

Yeah forget words end up saying something like - 'the thing you put bread in to make it brown'.

And walking into a room or opening a cupboard and wondering why I'm doing it. If I stand there for. a. bit it will come back. Sometimes.

I read an article that suggested that the short term memory loss "tip of the tongue" issue that people can be an indication of too much caffeine intake particularly coffee over a prolonged period of time. The longer you continue to drink coffee etc the worse the problem gets, albeit not a sudden change.

Studies showed that eliminating caffeine sees a gradual improvement again.

Omg, this.

I saw this film and you know who was in it? That guy that's in loads of films and his daughter was played by that one that is in the newest movie about the gang that plan robberies, you know the one.

The only thing I still remember is Matthew MacConaughey
