MargieH 7,615 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 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! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colly0410 1,183 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 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.. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,615 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 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! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 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!" 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 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!] 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 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! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,615 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 #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! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

letsavagoo 965 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 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. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 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? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'm going to stop worrying about myself now I know we are all the same.

albert smith 803 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 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! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 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. :-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,909 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Can't be any worse than some of the stuff that passes for pain creme and maybe a lot better than some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
