I forget things all the time also but I started writing my questions and just whatever I need to say in a note book and I keep that note book near me at all times.

Hi Barb, I usually have a name in my mind, thankfully I can still idenitfy names with faces. My questions though, I usually put them in my notebook app under which set of items, thoughts, etc. I have. And yes, I have a fanny pack but it's clear and black.

Here is mine.

I gave up my purse and bought a beautiful leather “fanny pack”.

It's possible to write what is important when you're having the idea ...
