But I don't bounce back like I could when I was younger, and my information retention and memory are getting worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-449478 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:50:14 +0000 prettylizy 449478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dumber for sure.

I read papers I wrote in grad school and they are so good! I can't believe I wrote them. I think part of getting dumber is not being in school anymore...baby brain...etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-449349 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:25:36 +0000 sera_87 449349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dumber. i actually said 'unthaw' once and didn't realize my mistake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-448984 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:17:47 +0000 ShootingStar 448984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops, posted to wrong thread somehow... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-448935 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:05:26 +0000 chopsuey 448935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dumber!

A combination of becoming a mom and moving to a much less challenging job (becaue my previous job would not have allowed for a solid work life balance that's necessary for having a family). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-448854 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:30:11 +0000 MrsBrewer 448854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure! I mean I have a terrible memory, but I feel like you still learn new things/experiences everyday. So I think experience wise I'm getting smarter!</p> <p>Plus I'm still in school so I feel like I'm still getting smarter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-448850 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:28:11 +0000 Bao 448850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol...actually I think I'm getting smarter, I wasn't the brightest crayon in the box when I was younger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-448841 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:24:24 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 448841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dumber, definitely.

I don't research things nearly as much as I used to, which I think makes me less well-informed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-448799 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:01:42 +0000 Smurfette 448799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dumber, hands down </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-448793 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:59:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 448793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dumber! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-youre-getting-dumber-or-smarter-as-youre-getting-older#post-448791 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:58:43 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 448791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dumber...

My memory is shot, it takes me so much longer to write posts when I used to be able to pound out up to 13! a day (sure they weren't all great quality, but I could do that in my 20's). Maybe I partied too much in my youth, maybe I'm aging, maybe it's the kids.</p> <p>Sometimes when I go back and read stuff I wrote a decade plus ago, I think it's much better than what I write now!</p> <p>What about you? </p>
