Which do you do to keep the brain working

[Doug]

there seem to be only three of us doing the crossword,word sections at the moment.
We are always into crosswords, codewords, sudoku etc. to keep the old grey matter working.
Not many here do the same so it seems.

[Blaze]

I'm not interested in online games, quizzes etc., I'd rather do "real" ones, even if it means paying for them !

[mysty]

Balance on one foot while puting a sock on.
Doing the same for under pants.
If it's a good day standing up while doing my laces.
Keep the same password for everything in case of brain drain.
Real life suduko when I have the time.
I'm one of the lucky ones, when I go gaga you should not notice much change.

[MAD87]

I work. That keeps my poor, tired brain turning.

Well some of us have been there [mention]Crystal[/mention] in different ways and know exactly what you mean, but in the end a sort of retirement comes, well we slow down a bit.

[Crystal]

....this is my retirement!...I used to work as well!

[Doug]

....this is my retirement!...I used to work as well!

So glad youve kept some humour it helps the world go round.

[Crystal]

You think I'm only joking?... obviously I live in a totally different universe to others of my age, but it keeps me physically and mentally active and gives me a sense of purpose.
