I'm here again!

[Lee Babcock]

Just a note to say that I'm back on the NG after being off for a couple
of years with major illnesses.

I had to retire from teaching a little early because of my health and I
have been left with difficulties in remembering proper nouns, (names of
people, places, streets, etc.), so forgive me if I can't recall names.
I'm now using an 80 year old friends line, "there is nothing wrong with
my memory, it's my recall that is flawed!" <vbg>

I just subscribed, downloaded and read 2000 messages and it makes me
feel good that there are so many of the old participants still here.

Regards
Lee in Toronto

Welcome Back! If you can manage reading 2,000 messages, sounds like you've
fully recovered!

Looking forward to your postings!

I understand they're tearing up your neighborhood so you should move to
the Beaches. I fondly remember Kew Beach,

Never heard of you. Well, at least I *think* I've never heard of you. I
don't remember hearing of you anyway. I could be wrong though.

Me too. Lived t here as a child. 23 Selwood , a block from the
lake, between McLean and Glen Manor.

Used to go out of my way to spend a few days in Toronto ...just to go
down to the Beaches and walk on the boardwalk.

Welcome back, Lee. They say the mind is the second thing to go. I
can't remember the first. )

Best wishes for good health!

Welcome back Lee.

I had to retire from teaching a little early because of my health and I
have been left with difficulties in remembering proper nouns, (names of
people, places, streets, etc.), so forgive me if I can't recall names.

FWIW I've had that problem since I was a teenager. Names disappear into
a "black hole" when I most need them. . .

I'm now using an 80 year old friends line, "there is nothing wrong with
my memory, it's my recall that is flawed!" <vbg>

Agree. I'd ask if there is a name for this syndrome but given the
problem itself that's clearly an exercise in futility.

Stage fright. Putting yourself "on the spot". A belief that names are
unimportant ... only concepts, vivid memories, and the emotional life
are important and significant.

Welcome back! I hope your troubles are entirely a thing of the past.

I had to retire from teaching a little early because of my health
and I have been left with difficulties in remembering proper
nouns, (names of people, places, streets, etc.), so forgive me if
I can't recall names.

I try to make it easy by not using one.

Too much of that "stuff" in the 70's and 80's.

Recognize the street names! Used to ride my bicycle down Southwood Dr.
no hands - talk about being young and dumb. Miss the Fox and The Goof
restaurant, but don't miss Malvern CI. And was in love with a gal who
lived on Selwood,

Maybe the name is CRAFT syndrome .... Can't Remember Any Freakin Thing

Welcome back Lee, it's been awhile.
The only thing that hasn't changed over this period is that the Leafs are
still a crappy team but I'm sure you and your fellow Torontonians are used
to that.
Isn't Kew Beach in Vancouver?

There is a Kew beach in East Toronto by the Boardwalk. If you want to
check it out or if you 'formers' want a walk down memory lane,:
