Memory (Page 5): It's fine when preceded by, "Hi ya kids, hi ya, hi ya, hi ya"---when said in a gravelly voice of course.

I can see it... it's just a little before my time. JFK's funeral was the first thing I really recall on TV

That is exactly my case as far as current events at the time. I did watch TV before that but I do not remember what was in first run vs reruns years later.

The memory is an odd feature of the brain. When I was a kid, there was a kids' show that had Buster Brown Shoes as a sponsor. That was over seventy years ago, and I still remember the tag line.

I remember that show, and I'm the same way. I remember Buffalo Bob Smith and Howdy Doody, and know the words to songs from the early 60s but can't remember passwords. I walk to my garage/shop, and don't know why. What day of the week is it? Let me look at my phone. But I remember my childhood phone number and my Uncle's back then. Sometimes I forget how old I am, probably because I'm trying to forget. I can't remember people's names but can identify 50s and 60s cars by year and make, and what engine was in most of them. I'm lucky I remember my great-grandkids names. I remember things I did when I was 16, but forget what I did yesterday. Now I forget why I'm writing this.

How about klukla Fran and olllie.i can remember lots of things before I was 2 years old.At around 2 we moved to my Uncle's house and there was a large red ant hole in the ground. I decided to run over then and kill them with my tricycle. Oh sure I killed lots of them but they soon had the upper hand by getting onto the wheel and started to bite me .I started crying and my 18 year old cousin came and picked me out of my tricycle with one arm and removed the ants on me with his other hand.i must have been bitten by no less than 20 ants but I don't know cause I was not old enough to count.

Oh, I know that feeling. Sat down by a pine tree in east Texas & they were all over my elbow in seconds! Oh how they sting! I'm sure you were in great pain with your soft childhood skin... oh the horror!

Jerry; MY wife's doctor has good things to say about taking 'Lions Mane by Host Defense' for help with memory problems. Another friend, living across the country in North Carolina says her doctor also recommends Lions Mane by Host Defense.
I've just started taking it and it doesn't appear to have any negative side effects. I need to use it for about another month before I will pass judgement on its benefits for memory..

Please do.how about pay less shoes.i remember as a kid you could buy 2 pairs of shoe for $5 and you would get a baby chicken. My wife says she can't recall that.about 20 years ago I called the store where I was taken to get the shoes and the baby chicken and asked for the oldest employee there.the employee said he didn't know but got me the retired guys name and #
I called him and he did verify that they give away baby chick's with the purchase of a pair of shoes.

Yes and if I remember correctly it was Andy Divine that narrated the show. You are reaching back a ways.

It's all good Jerry. Honestly, being absent minded should be a right of passage for older folks like us... I enjoy your company & all the comments on UHH, although I don't say much. Thanks for being there for us all this holiday season.
