YOU KNOW, THE THING...........................
To: Red Badger
University of Toronto suggests that it's the speed of speech, rather than the difficulty in finding words that is a more accurate indicator of brain health in older adults. I have my doubts about the validity of this "study". If you've ever spoken with a Southerner, you know that they speak much slower than a fast talking Yankee, yet what they say usually makes much more sense.

I have been that way since I was a kid.
Hasn’t gotten any worse in 72 years.
If I can’t come up with a name right off hand,
it will just pop up in my mind 15 minutes later.

There’s a trick I’ve used all my life.
If I can’t place the name of someone or something I’m trying to remember, I’ll knock my head gently three times with my fist and tell myself I’ll remember it. Later, maybe hours after I’ve forgotten all about it, the name or word I’m trying to recall just pops into my head while I’m not thinking of anything in particular. It’s kind of weird the way it just floats into my mind unattached to anything else; but it almost never fails.
I think I read about it in a magazine many decades ago...

If you quickly recall the name of dead relatives when you see them walking in the room does that mean you are good to go?

Frequent difficulty finding the right word can signal changes in the brain consistent with...um...well...anyway....
To: Red Badger
I have a large percentage of English words stuffed away in my head. A few other languages as well...
Some times, it takes me a tick or two to get the right one. I’d upgrade my CPU, but that tech isn’t available quite yet.

What about “THE IDEA” or “Cornpop”? I think those phrases mean something too.
To: Red Badger
This is called “Aphasia” and the medical profession is very familiar with this trait ....

The time for my best come backs in a debate is measured in days.
So I got that going for me.

Homer Simpson talks about ‘that round eat thing’. Marge asks ‘you mean a spoon’? Bout like me some days.
To: Red Badger
Heck, I’d just do a web search.

I've got lethologica, and it's getting worse. I used to be able to get Jeopardy questions one after another--same with Trivial Pursuit. Now I can picture the answer but just can't find the world fast enough. I talked with my internist about it. He gave me a test. I made 100 on it. I guess I have lethologica but not Alzheimer's.
