If you've never seen them before, there are many on-line games on
"gamehouse.com" that can help with memory... my personal favorite is Super
TextTwist. It is a really good game you can play by yourself. You're given six
random letters and have to make as many 3-6 letter words as you can in a given
amount of time. They show you how many words of each number of letters can be
made and as long as you get at least one of the 6-letter words, even if you
don't get the rest, you pass on to the next series of letters. As the clock
runs out, it shows you the words you missed, so it helps you learn words (and
spelling). It's keeps a running score until you fail to get a 6-letter word, so
you play against yourself to see how high a score you can achieve. Here's the
link to Super TextTwist:

situations that happened a week ago, or the day after I see a movie,
I forget what it was.Eventually I think of it, but it is scary for my
husband to be talking about an incident, and I don’t remember it.
We have a card game we play with another couple that is called Quiddler.
You start with 3 cards and work up to having 10 cards dealt to you.
You make words out of your cards dealt to you or discarded by others. It
does make you think and it is very addicting. We love it.

Subject: [TMIC] Our Memories
How is your memory these days? Have you experienced memory loss? If so, how
does it affect your life? Does your faulty memory affect your life with your
loved ones?
Memory loss has to do with the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath coats the
neurons in the spinal column to cement memories. TM destroys the myelin
sheath, so that our memories become clouded or we have no memories at all.
The more we repeat things we need to remember, the thicker the layer of
myelin forms around the neurons. Brain games such as Scrabble, Seduki, Boggle,
Crossword Puzzles,and other games help us to reform the myelin sheath...
Any thoughts on this?
Many hugs,
Jude
