I woke up in the middle of the night last night with a brilliant idea and thought I have to post this on the board in the morning. Now I can't remember what it was. How sad is that. LOL

Welcome to my world. You get use to it ;)

Oh I've been there.

oh it's the dust bunnies of time that steal those precious thoughts, ya know

You were dreaming :)

Yep, I can relate!

Been there, done that!!!

I have gotten to where I get up and write down stuff like that...LOL...because if I don't then I'll never be able to remember it later.

At 72, I keep a tiny tape recorder next to my bed and in my car. The two places I get my inspirations. I also take my camera to record color combinations that strike my fancy. I keep everythingnin my journals. They really help when I am deSigning patterns.

LOL it happens all too often :oops: :D:D:D

Darn, I hope the idea comes back to you. I am 73 and some days I feel like I can barely remember my name. Not that bad really, but I hate having to try to remember names and where I have put things.

I keep a notepad and pencil on my night stand for just such occasions

There are a lot of us, it's ok.

You'll fit right i here!

This is called "Craft Syndrom" C=can't R=remember A=a
F=^$%@ing T=thing! I suffer from it all the time!

I once scribbled down a dream idea in the middle of the night, and went back to sleep sooo satisfied that I'd saved it.... only to find in the morning that what I'd written was a total "anjobvwei0pjvwoabnfwehig nppoujipn" kind of gibberish. :)

I have that problem during the DAY!

LOL

I have note pads all over the place and a tape recorder by the bed also. If anyone told me that getting older was such a pain, I don't remember! LOL!

Ditto

My DH and my favorite invention yet is the post it notes. Our microwave is covered with reminder notes. What makes me made is I will be up in my sewing room, think of something I need downstairs, Well when I get downstairs I have forgotten what I came down for. I then have to return up to the sewing room to remember what I was headed downstairs for!!! I get plenty of stair exercize everyday.

Lol it happens to the best of us ,,,

ROFLOL, that's good. I had to read it to my dh it was so funny. We both good laugh.

They say the memory is the second thing to go and I can't remember what the first thing is.

LOL, I know that feeling!!!

At least you remembered that you had a brilliant idea :roll:

Finally, I can put a name on my strange behaviour. I'll have to jot it down,Craft Syndrome

Ikeep paper and pen by my bed so when I have a "brilliant" thought I can write it down... then can't remember to look at the paper in the morning. Run into it at some later point and ask my self..."why did I write this down?" lol Hopefully that idea will return at sometime soon.

Isn't that FRUSTRATING??!! And have you noticed, that people of ALL AGES are more forgetful lately? It doesn't matter if you are a senior citizen - those in their early 40's are forgetting so much too. People say "we have too much on our minds" nawwwwwwww - I'm retired, I have NOTHING on my mind, and I STILL forget things - phone numbers, names, faces, where I put my keys, my glasses. How can we turn this around?

Been there join with me.

I was going to suggest we all sing kumbyah but I don't remember how to spell it. :-)

Oh you came to visit my world, welcome lol

LOL, me too! Ihave been known to wake up to write something down!

And I call it CRS Can't Remember S___! :lol:

I have had so many hilarious replys to this blog, I guess we are all losing our minds. Thanks everyone

My son say I have Halfheimers. Alzheimers half the time...

Been there, done that. It will resurface at an unexpected time. LOL

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one that does that..

We all know what you mean. Hopefully it will come back to you and then you can share it with all of us!

Boy can i relate! Right now I can't find the F foot for my 9000. My friend borrowed it, gave it back and it's here in the house somewhere. i also can't find the foo pedal. My DH needs to clean the dust out of it and I put it somewhere. Grrrr-i hate when I do that. On a happier note-I have been known to wake up in the middle of the night and remember where I put something or remember someones name. Ha ha
