You know you're losing it when ......

This morning, instead of using underarm deodorant I started to use some hair spray, and five minutes later I put coffee granules into our mugs, then poured the hot water from the kettle into an empty teapot!

[Bubblewrap 3,815]

Not tried putting the toaster in the fridge then?

[colly0410 1,181]

I'm as bad. Was waiting for the tea to mash in the teapot, pouring said tea into cup with milk & sugar already in it, just hot water coming out: I'd forgot to put a flipping tea bag in the pot. Also poured tea into the sugar bowl. Got raw sausages in the fridge mixed up with cooked ones & made a raw sausage sarnie, didn't find out till I got to work & bit into it, ugh, lol..

[MargieH 7,613]

BW,

No, but I have put some bread in the toaster, then buttered some bread to make sandwiches, completely forgetting I'd put some bread in the toaster! But doesn't everyone do that sometimes? Please tell me they do!

A guy some years back left a strange smell at the breakfast table...

"What the heck is that smell?" said the wife

"It's that new deodorant spray you left in the bathroom!"

"That was the dogs 'Anti Mate' we got from the vets!"

No Margie, its only you! LOL. I did put cornflakes in Jake's bowl once though. He didn't seem to mind.

Whenever I lose something in the house, as well as looking in the proper place for it, I also look in the fridge, pantry etc [just in case!]

You know you are losing it when you are having a really interesting conversation with someone and its your turn to contribute, Enthusiastically you open your mouth to speak and nothing comes? you haven't got the foggiest idea what it was that you were going to say? and to make it worse, it's gone for good!

[StephenFord 866]

Been there and done many of those things !

[carni 10,094]

What Things .

#6 Loppy, I've had the opposite problem to that because the cats' dry food is stored in a tall plastic container which is nearly identical to one I use to store muesli in. I've very nearly had a bowl of 'Go Cat' for breakfast!

[sue B 48 1,226]

Well I feel a lot better about myself after reading that lot. LOL

[Michael Booth 7,364]

I think you've all 'lost it'

[Gem 1,430]

Carni what about walking into a room in your house and thinking why am i in here, stand and look around but nothing !!

[loppylugs 8,429]

Well. I only feed him the BEST dog food so I could probably handle a bowl of it. Might help my memory and make my fur shine.

[katyjay 5,091]

Gem, it's called the Hereafter, as in, what am I here after?

[catfan 14,793]

I always go to do something & when I get there I've forgotten what I was going to do !

[letsavagoo 964]

I cut the lawn the other day. Went in and unplugged the mower and as I walked back to the mower thought the grass still seemed a bit long. Checked and realised the mower was set on 3 and not 2 I normally use. So I reset the cut height and spent several minutes swearing and cursing wondering why it wouldn't go before remembering I'd unplugged it.

I have a very good friend who says we can't ever fall out, cos we fill in the blanks for each other during a conversation.

[carni 10,094]

I have lost a lot of my memory (Some to do with the stroke) and some because I am losing the plot, who cares, I'm happy enough. I also rely on my good friend SueB48 who recalls things for me that have long gone from my memory. It is just like being given a present when she reawakens something from our past that I have not thought of for years.

The mind is a strange and fascinating thing, I just don't understand it! So much past locked away. Or is it just me?

I would have been quite clever if I could remember what I had learnt. I think?

[sue B 48 1,226]

I'm going to stop worrying about myself now I know we are all the same. I have just opened the cutlery draw and found half a red

onion wrapped in cling film. Now what did I want from the draw?

[albert smith 803]

Nope,can't remember where this came from but it sounds like a C & W ditty

Senior Moments, Brain Farts!

It starts out with a look of wonder written on my face

Followed by a fear of something, being out of place

With searching eyes I look around for something I can’t find

And I wonder just what it was that ever crossed my mind

Senior moments, brain farts I try hard to remember but the process never starts!

Yeah, staring into space for me is usually how it starts

Senior moments, brain farts

Well, I was standing in the kitchen & I opened up the fridge

Then I stood there the for longest moment wondering why I did

I couldn’t think of one good reason, so finally shut the door

Then I wondered what I’d put in there & did I want some more!

Senior moments, brain farts I try hard to remember but the process never starts

Probably some ice cream or maybe those blueberry tarts

Senior moments, brain farts

Well it happened at a Tesco store, I can’t remember where or when

So I stood there like a zombie wondering why I’d just walked in

The manage calls ”Hello Sir, What would you like to see”

I had a ‘senior moment’ and he tried to hire me!

Senior moments, brain farts, I try hard to remember but the process never starts

I guess I’d looked bewildered stood there among the carts

Senior moments, brain farts

So I told my Doctor “my short memory cells were on the blink”

`I asked him could he fix them & he said “now let me think

How long have you had this problem? Is it something new”?

I said to him what problem & who the hell are you?

Senior moments, brain farts, I try hard to remember but the process never starts

I get them by the dozen Doc’, sometimes they’re off the charts

Senior moments, brain farts

So I stopped off at the pharmacy to look for something new

To try and fix this memory thing, and my ED problems too.

I’ve got my Hairgrow pills and my Viagra pills mixed up back at home

Now I have hair growing real thick but Lord it’s just too stiff to comb

Senior moments, brain farts, I try hard to remember but the process never starts

Yeah, mixing up those medicines ain’t really very smart

or you too will have Senior moments and brain farts

I

CU @ the Roebuck!

Wondered why my poached egg wasn't warming up this morning. Discovered I'd turned the wrong burner on. Mrs Loppy's coming home today. I'd better get her picture out so I remember her when she shows up. :-)

When I was at work in my teens my boss's mother who lived on the premises used to suffer from old age pains. On morning I heard her say that she 'd had a bad shoulder that had been bothering her all night. She massaged some cream in and said it smelled of mint, it was only a couple of minutes later that she realised it was toothpaste that she'd put on. " But " she said " it did me a lot of good because I don't have any more pain". So we know now what to do in case of pain!

[loppylugs 8,429]

Can't be any worse than some of the stuff that passes for pain creme and maybe a lot better than some.
