Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for June 09, 2022

She’s so right!

you sure this isn’t the other side of the coin called Alzheimer?

Did you forget your English-to-Disney dictionary? That’s a “dinglehopper.”

What’s this typety type thing I’m typing on?

I thought it was only me… Whatever it is and I am…

WELCOME BACK AUNTIE!

All our comments yesterday made her update. Right? Yeah haha

I’ve lived in this town for 25 years. I know all the major streets by now, particularly the ones I pass or use almost every day.

I was with my wife as she was driving and she asked the best way to get somewhere. My response was, “Take, um. You know. The only street that goes all the way north-south trough town.” She knew exactly what I meant. We found out the street name when we actually got there.

Then you get into the world of indefinite pronouns and . . .um. . .those nouns like “that thingy over there”. . .or “you know, this one, not that one,” or “thingamabob” . . .

And somehow i haven’t forgotten the names off a common species, idiots

I am starting to get even more forgetful. Just last week, I couldn’t remember the name of that classic video game where the alien ships come down from the top of the screen and you are moving back and forth under rapidly deteriorating barriers. I even thought I had the first word (I did, “Space”), and still couldn’t get it for several minutes (“Space Invaders”)…

Also, more than once recently, I get up to do something, as I start to move towards that task, I remember something else I wanted to do, go do it, then come back and sit down, forgetting the initial task I got up for…

(◔_◔)

Stick a rake in it just doesn’t sound right.

It’s a mustache comb.

That is so darn true!

Um, yeah, like every day. I gave up finally. Just call everything “that thingie, there”. When directing someone while they are driving, I just wave a paw in the direction they need to turn.

Many neurologists say this is pretty normal. It’s not so much you forget things as the lists of all things of a particular class get longer over the years. It takes a couple of milliseconds to examine each item and you may give up before your brain finishes the search.

Nice to see some new “Aunty Acid” comics!

Who’s really having the memory lapse here — Aunty or her writer . . . ?

At the moment, what the disorder is where this gets bad, nor can I remember which actor recently announced his retirement, because he has it… APHASIA (I was trying it with an “E”)…

That’s not a Food Rake.

It’s a Food Stabby Thing.

A common complaint among my peers. I started doing crossword puzzles again to reboot my brain.
