WOW, peeing while Joanne Woodward guards the door. Now thats clout! LOL

I can so relate. This was my entry on another forum last month, events of which I blamed on the heatwave. I have since taken to upping my dose of B12 which I was told would help.

"The heat has addled my brain! Went to pick up my friend at the crack of dawn for our hike. Rang the doorbell and stood there rucksack on my back waiting for her to come out similarly kitted out so off we could go to Waterloo and catch the train to Bradford on Avon. Friend's husband opened the door with a worried look on his face. Took a second to recover and broke out with the heartiest laughter. Friend came down running the stairs, in the skimpiest nightclothes and said: "It's not today, missy. Our hike's on the first weekend of August!!!"

Talk about major, major senior moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh yes, Dotsie, setting a timer is a good idea. Most of the time, though, I'm in the forum evenings; instead of watching TV, so it's not all that bad.

I find it comforting that my sons are so scatter-brained. It confirms that it's not necessarily an age thing; it's a mentality thing. It definitely runs in our family…but it makes our lives sort of interesting. Always full of surprises, just like you were, Lola. lol

Talking about scatter-brained - let this be a lesson to myself - WRITE IT DOWN! Hubby asked me yesterday to look something up for him on the Internet. I said sure, no problem, that's a simple one - and because it was such a simple request, I didn't bother writing it down! Now do you think I can remember what it was that he asked me to look up??? I've tried all morning. And I did try doing other things (laundry, ironing, made date squares and meatloaf, and wrote a letter) to see if it would just come to me, but alas, it's an empty slate up there in my scattered brain.

LOL! That's all you can do is laugh at yourself!

Speaking of laughing at myself (okay, off topic, but funny anyway), early this morning I tossed out some bread crumbs for the birds. The crumbs landed (accidentally) on two ants who were meandering along the patio. Suddenly they just started scurrying around frantically every which way, trying to find their way out of the bombardment of crumbs. I had this notion they were yelling "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" as they were skittering around. I felt sorry for them, but had to laugh at the thought of seeing the bread crumbs from their perspective.

I know, I'm weird, but it still makes me chuckle. Poor dear ants (well, they're dear to SOMEone)

LOL! Eagle Heart, that is funny about the ants. But I bet instead of thinking the sky was falling, they thought they hit the jack pot with food falling right on top of their little ant heads. They were scurrying around probably thinking, "the Queen (not you JJ ) is gonna love us when we bring all this food back to the colony!"

Either one of these senarios beats ants in your pants. How do I know, don't asks!!!
