Have you experienced something similar?

All the time. Its getting a little worse with advancing age. But I think everyone goes through this.

You were just not "present" when you drank the coffee. So your short term memory didn't save the moment.

When I'm writing a book, sometimes I'll look at the clock, and four hours have past, and I think it was 15 minutes.

Have you ever read a book and completely forgotten the last ten pages? You weren't really engaged, that's all.

Start worrying when you can't remember what a cup is for.

If you can find a way to bottle that, it would be a billion dollar product. Now you won't mind watching those "chick flicks" the women folk make us watch - we could simply forget it

Are you protecting your on line business? If you have a website, blog, ecommerce store you NEED to back it up regularly. Your webhost will only protect you so much. Check out Quirkel. Protect yourself.

It's already been done. It's called beer.

  A 3 day hangover? Good grief... maybe cut back on the quantity just a bit?

  Sounds like you need to remember to eat something instead of just drinking on an empty stomach.

Thanks for that. This makes allot of sense.

Oh boy! Think it's time to look into some memory improvement games etc.

I'll have to check out your work. When it comes to marketing books, one gem is "Marketing Without a Marketing Budget: How to Find Customers Yesterday, on a Shoestring, Without Fouling Up Your Schedule Any Worse Than It Already Is"
by Craig S. Rice.

I occasionally come across manuscripts that I "forgot" I had written (paid but uncredited lol)

Dennis: Good one. I have never ever made the connection between being in a vacuum cleaner store and "Sucking up".

No customer has ever said to me "How's business? Does it suck?"

That has never happened...NO! Never. (Best Steve Martin Voice) :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

The Baseball-Cup thing never occurred to me though.

I earn points for every emoticon I use, apparently.

Mike; Have you tried Peeing? I find that gets rid of the beer pretty quickly.

You guys are all just jealous that you don't have my brilliant sense of humor and impeccable timing. Jealous, I say!:rolleyes:

But hey, don't blame me for making an obvious joke ... you're the one who set it up. I just played along with you. You must like those corny jokes, or you'd surely avoid setting them up . . . right? :rolleyes:

What I hate is when I wake up in the morning and it feels like I just laid down, blinked, and now it's morning! It makes me feel like I missed a good night's sleep!

Then, if I'm having a bad day, I try to do it again to make it tomorrow, and it doesn't work.

It's just not fair, I tell ya! :p

I used to get that years ago before I was self employed and still worked for companies doing job jobs, and I didn't feel like getting out of bed. But that was almost ten years ago. Now I just find myself trying to figure out what day it is. They all look alike now.

Then, if I'm having a bad day, I try to do it again to make it tomorrow, and it doesn't work.
