Pickles by Brian Crane for June 09, 2019

His name was Bert!

why bring up the topic anyway, Earl?

Happy National Earl Day, Earl.

I hate it when that happens to me!

I’m fairly new to Pickles, do they often sit & talk on what appears to be a random step to nothing in the middle of nowhere?

Mind is the first thing to go, Earl!

You have a good memory but it’s short, Earl!

Just go back to the beginning Earl :-)

Sometimes I can actually feel the synapses not connecting.

CRS, happens all the time…and sometimes CRAFT

I bet he never remembered in the first place.

No, wait! Maybe it was “Ernie”?

Sure, Ear, blame Opal for YOUR forgetfulness!

That is so me at times it’s scary. sigh

It’s on the tip of Earls tongue…..hold on….it’s coming…..

I remember his name now, I just can’t remember why I needed it.

Happens to me all the time later in the day. Next morning I remember the names of people and places within a few minutes of waking. They say it’s bedtime is the only chance your brain has to relax.

SOOOO TRUE!!

Do what I do. Blurt it out before you forget.

My husband and I have had this exact same conversation. We work together, though. I can usually remember one part of the name and my husband fills in the rest. Teamwork!

I have the same….uh…uh… Oh yeah, problem, lol!

Earl should be more worried about happened to his house and why he only has steps left.

His name was Bob.

Hey that’s a way of Life for Me these days. That is why the top of my head is Bald,always palming the top of my head and saying “Duh !!” I guess people do that to try and Bump Start their Brain. It is a symptom of “Old Farts Disease” along with “C.R.S.”. Oh Well,I woke up today,and Life goes on. You-all be Safe and Have a Great Day!

Defeat from of the jaws of victory Earl !!!!

Those things usually come to me around 2 in the morning.

I don’t know how old Brian Crane is but only a senior citizen who has lived out some of these experiences could be able to point out these humorous incidents.

The name memory rules must be activated during these seconds of wakefulness.

Earl is having amnesia and deja vu at the same time — He thinks he has forgotten this before.

I don’t want to remember them—-

Give him more time. When other methods fail, I remember names by working my way through the alphabet.

I’m walking down the street, i forget what i thought..

My long term memory is just fine, except it only works when it wants to, to remember something I thought about yesterday. My short term memory… what was I just talking about?

Often I know the first letter of the word/name I’m trying to remember, which is all the more frustrating!
