I think this kind of thing is interesting. There's a UK actress who was a star in the 60's / 70's in the Carry On films. She was then in EastEnders for years playing the landlady of a pub. If she and her husband watch the show she turns to him and says "I used to work behind that bar" - not "I used to act on that show".

The whole aspect of what the mind chooses to keep information wise and what it discards is interesting.

And I do think caregivers need to laugh. If people find it "cruel"they really need to just get off the thread.[/quote]

The social worker we’ve been working with said that people with dementia usually go back to ages 25-30. I’m worried because I dated some horrible guys. But a few that were AMAZING in bed. I really don’t want to be talking about that with DH if I end up with dementia  :lol: [/quote]

I worked as a charge nurse in nursing homes for a decade. Women always talked about their babies and worried they wouldn’t get home in time to get their kids off the bus and cook dinner.  Men talked about their military service (if applicable) and that early adulthood time of life also [/quote]
