Can't remember where you put your keys or what you had for breakfast? Before you panic, keep in mind that age-related memory loss is not totally inevitable! There are actually many things you can do to keep your brain sharp as a tack when you're 87.Studies show that, as with your old laptop, the brain loses memory ability when there's a lack of storage space (i.e. why you can remember all the lyrics to Madonna's "Like a Virgin," but can't remember where you parked your car). Short of a mental spam folder, however, there are a few things you can do to make the memory space you've got left function more efficiently.
Don't just accept a forgetful future. Click Next to check out these memory enhancers, and stop saying, "I can't remember!"

Although an A/B student all my life, I could never remember names easily. On tests requiring names for answers, I would read the question, go on to read the next question, then go back and fill in the answer to the last question. So, at 81, I know it is not senility :)) Multiple choice gave me the "A"s.

Knowing the difference between stationary and stationery reminds me of how many people I "see" onlne who always get then and than backwards. It is extremely rare that someone will use it correctly. However, I suppose it's not any worst THAN some of the other things I have seen. THEN again, I could be wrong. :o)

Jim, things could only be "worst" if you had used the word in a plural reference, but as you said, "I could be wrong." I don't mean to be harsh, but you were. As for me, I'm wondering whether or not you just made a typo when you actually meant to use the word "worse." My question: Was it just a typo or was you just wrong!?

Rather than loss of storage capacity, the problem is more like a glitch in the brain's cataloguing system, because some neural pathway is dead (or lame). Given the holographic nature of brain functions, you can usually find another pathway, but it may take some time (anywhere from 20 seconds to 2-3 days).

Stationary-Remember "Standing in the station is stationary. Both standing and station have an 'a'". (The "e" for envelope is a good mneumonic device, too.
Then and than- "Then" is a time. When? Then. Both have an "e"'.
Now, if someone else can help our slower students with "to, too and two" and "there (a place like here), their (it belongs to the "heir") and "they're".
