I love your phrase UB-ness we should start it as a “real” term. I think I’ll put a tweet out about it ! Yes there are days when I feel (and look) 90, certainly I’m older sometimes than my 79 year old mother !

I too am Uncle Billy, although we all become him to one extent or another as we age. I, however, was Uncle Billy at age 30. My descent into Uncle Billy -ness began at age 18 or so. Yay MonSter! Then again, I do not remember ever seeing the film and so I can only base my definition UB-ness on this article. I may have seen the film but I do not remember doing so. This UB-ness does come in useful when watching reruns on the TV though – I can never remember what happens even if I have only just watched it – reruns are never boring to me because the plot often seems totally new to me (although I sometimes get a flash of recognition)! I am 42 in August and used to be a computer programmer but my brain may was well be that of a 99 year old with Alzheimer’s on my bad days.

Well if it helps you’re not alone! And some people are that “lost” in the head even without the MS as an excuse! I just laugh and go on. It happens to us all, either with age or with good ol’ MS to add onto it… heck I think I was forgetful before I was even 30! LOL
