Re: [TMIC] Our Memories
Hi all,
My memory is very degraded, compared to where it was,
pre-TM(2007). Especially my short/medium term - between 5-days to 5-months
or so. I agree with Dalton's analogy strongly, as I to am highly trained
in the Engineering field..
It's tough sometimes..!
Glendon..

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:

I do have memory problems. Not just forgetting names of things, but
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.

*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*
