You are literally the scariest thing you can imagine. What else is there to fear? (FDR said it best: "There is nothing to fear but fear itself.")
Happy Halloween!
You're just a ghost, driving a skeleton draped in rotting meat to its death. Are other people's opinions really so scary?
Vous n'êtes qu'un fantôme, conduisant à sa mort un squelette drapé de viande pourrie. Les opinions des autres sont-elles vraiment si effrayantes ?
"Senior moments" have an actual name: Benign Senescence.
My theory: Your brain can only store so much information in RAM, but your ROM is ridiculously good at holding on to stored data like your childhood phone number. The good news, though, is that forgetting is normal, not a sign of looming Alzheimer's.
Got a dumb senior moment you're itching to share?
Would love to read about it on our Facebook page!
And for non-techies, RAM is random-access, or short-term, memory; ROM is read-only, or long-term, memory.
Benign Senescence
Brief memory impairments related to aging. Happens when trying to remember or learn new information, rather than recalling long-standing memories. Not linked to dementia.
Sénescence bénigne
Brèves troubles de la mémoire liés au vieillissement. Se produit lorsque vous essayez de vous souvenir ou d'apprendre de nouvelles informations, plutôt que de rappeler des souvenirs de longue date. Non lié à la démence.
Over 40? The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 may impact you. If you've been, or known, somebody wrongly fired or laid off from a job, jump to our Facebook page to comment!
Know your rights
When a layoff hurts older workers, it's the employer, not the employee, who has to prove the action wasn't based on age discrimination. If you're a US employee older than 40, working for an interstate employer, the ADEA protects you.
