And just the time when you are not behind in your posting; it figures. :-)<BR/><BR/>Sorry to tell you, but in my experience, mental function does *not* improve after 40; in fact, quite the opposite is true. It was shortly after i turned 40 that most of my brain cells decided to take an extended leave of absence. They have yet to return, though they do send the occasional postcard. And honestly, more brain cells seem to fly the coop to join them with every passing year.<BR/><BR/>However, my mother says they start to return after the children are all out of the house.40winkzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707345570759229347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-76904906375167409872008-09-05T15:18:00.000-04:002008-09-05T15:18:00.000-04:00ROFL...I hope it gets better!

You can't see anything different. <BR/><BR/>I stuck a piece of standard dentist's flouride dental floss in the microwave for 15 seconds, then 30, and finally a whole minute. They don't look different, even under a 10x magnifier. And I just can't focus it on 40x. However, when I stuck them in my mouth on a whim, the texture was different. One tasted thicker but I don't remember whether it was the one I heated or not. They got tangled up when I tried to remove them from the microscope.<BR/><BR/>Oh well. You'll have to try it.<BR/><BR/>JohnKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664863153865293522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-47196666412588628742008-09-04T11:28:00.000-04:002008-09-04T11:28:00.000-04:00Hilarious!

Anyone try it? My guess is that it does, indeed, get bigger due to excited molecules, but not so much bigger that you'd notice.<BR/><BR/>Anyone try it?<BR/><BR/> ~LukeLuke Holzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799632321310461828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-79679434518967269242008-09-04T10:05:00.000-04:002008-09-04T10:05:00.000-04:00Hilarious!

Yes, I suffer from the same ailment - I call it the Mom Brain. I think it will improve -I'm not sure exactly when - but will be evidenced by things such as being able to actually have a 5 minute convo w/ your hubby that doesn't get interrupted! How can our brains put anything into short term memory when our every thought is cut short? ;-)Jennifer@DoingTheNextThinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638610935270014304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-16997460390584464692008-09-03T22:47:00.000-04:002008-09-03T22:47:00.000-04:00LOL!
