Senior Moments

**iamtheblues** · 25 September 2007, 08:54 AM

Ever stood at an open fridge door and wondered what on earth it could be that you wanted in there?
Or sprinkled instant coffee on your cornflakes?
Or...I forget what else just now, but it'll come back to me...
As a large percentage of the forum members are of a certain age, I thought you might be interested in this article that appeared in a recent edition of The Daily Telegraph newspaper in the UK. It contains a link to software that is designed to stave off senility.
All you have to do is remember that you have read it.
Saludos,
Bob.

Thanks Bob.

Aside from wondering what the burning smell is while sitting at the computer (and then realising I'd started to cook dinner ½hr ago), or passing through the kitchen and finding it odd that there's a stone cold cup of tea on the bench with the tea bag still in it - the only thing that causes me a little concern is the nuisance of putting a teaspoon of sugar in the coffee machine (instead of ground coffee) or pouring unboild water into a cup with sugar and teabag. Oh and putting the milk back into the 'cupboard'. Aside from this I'm fairly confident that I have all of my er.... potted plants....

Has anyone ever heard the Monty Pythons answering machine message about Alzheimers? I actually used this on my machine for a while, it's a hoot.

I had to change this when my line became my business line

It work fine for me thingummyjig try again.

Fine topic Bob. It doesn't always only attack the elderly when we were first married about 57 years ago, actually September 30 ( I nearly always forget)
my wife came storming into the living room and said alright! what have you done with the cake I had in the oven , I protested my innocence. It turned out she'd stuck the mixture into the fridge,we still laugh about it even now, so much so if anything goes missing the family shout "LOOK IN THE FRIDGE"

Norm, I was born 56 years ago. Hmmmmm. You could be my daddy seeing as how you've been married 57 years.
That Monty Python link works great for me. Thanks for that. Quite good.

I seem to frequently forget people's names. These are people I see everyday! I suppose I should really start to worry when I start to forget their faces!!!

After you remember, not to forget what to remember....
you can not forget to remember, what you remembered not to forget....

Senility hits some earlier than others.... I am only 38 (39 in May) and I have poured milk on my speghetti (meaning it to be grated cheeze)
People in my family think it's great to be able to "really" surprise me on my B-day because I really forget??
I often forget I have said something, right after I say it.........
I often forget I have said something, right after I......... "hey, wait a minute.... de-javue"
Looking around frantically for hours for my car keys, blaming everyone for moving them, muttering to myself.... only to find them in my pocket??!! "Now who put them there??!!"
And.... I have absolutely no idea who's underwear I'm wearing??!!

**raynerj1** · 26 September 2007, 09:02 PM

That is not senility at your age... it's cheap drugs...

Didn't your mom ever tell you not to snort comet?

**geminiguy** · 27 September 2007, 03:32 AM

Funny you should mention that....... I did, in fact... get into some Comet when I was just a wee lil' flickie.... and was rushed to the emergency room......
Also the time I ate an entire bottle of Flinstone vitamins.... and the time I was running from my sister, went to duck under the dining room table.. and almost jammed my nose cartilage up into my brain........
But, these are just the tip of the ice-berg.... I was definitely chaos on two legs

But none of this resolves my underwear dilemma......
