Even if people wore name tags one shabbat, I would forget them after a week or two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-40190592804848008652009-09-22T16:39:25.918-04:002009-09-22T16:39:25.918-04:00Another one here who has always had trouble with n...Another one here who has always had trouble with names, especially for people I don't see every day. Always happy in shul when someone has their name or at least initials sewn on their talis sacks.<br /><br />Name tags would do it for me. And I can't claim I'm getting older as a reason. Just never was good at names.Rafinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-22726463523197149362009-09-22T12:27:21.639-04:002009-09-22T12:27:21.639-04:00That was great.

My friends and I joke about not remembering names and dates, but we blame it on almost being, being, or past being age 50. The truth is, I always had trouble with names, and that only gets worse as you get older. If you know you know the person sitting next to you and just can't remember their name, just blame it on a senior moment and reintroduce yourself at the same time. They may be in the same boat you are. Then just repeat their name in conversation a few times. it helps to remember.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
