Do men or women have more "senior moments."

QUOTE from Shirley Zieve of Sandy Springs, Georgia. "TACT IS GETTING YOUR POINT ACROSS WITHOUT STABBING SOMEONE WITH IT."

TODAY IN HISTORY: 1961: The University of Georgia, under court order, admittled its first two black students, Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter (now reporter Charlayne Hunter-Gault). (Fifty years later, in 2011, I wonder how many blacks are starting on the football team and the basketball teams and all the other athletic teams? We have made a little progress in race relations in fifty years, haven't we?)


Today, I'm going to write about life at 70 again. Yesterday I LEARNED from Parade Magazine the answer to this question, Do men or women have more "senior moments."

Unfortunately, the answer is MEN. A new Mayo Clinic study of more than 2000 men and women over 70 found that men were almost 50% more likely to suffer from mild cognitive impairment, including memory lapses. So, ladies, it he forgets your anniversary, don't blame him - blame science.

If any men reading this want to challenge this finding leave a comment. Or if any of the ladies reading this totally agree leave a comment.



On the subject of men and women here is my HUMOR for the day --

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day.... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men.
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What did you just say?"


Ladies, any comments on this? Or guys, are there other reasons?
