Title: Yet another senior moment.
Post by: Michael Rolls on November 01, 2022, 10:25:46 AM
I use an electric razor. It, my phone and my I-pad sit next to each other plugged in overnight on one of the kitchen working surfaces.
Time for a shave - wandered into the kitchen to pick up the necessary appliance, wandered back into the lounge. As I was about to sit down, I fell to wondering 'How am I going to shave myself with an I-pad?'

I don't get "senior moments"
I get "senior days instead"  :sad:

Once in the middle of the night and in the dark, I found what I'd perceived to be a 'tube of vaseline'. About 30 seconds later I stood to rapid attention when my rectum had the unique experience of Macleans toothpaste for the first time!

Soothing his farmer's I bet.  Not very comfy. At least it wasn't Deep Heat!

started to clean my teeth (this was some years ago) and thought 'don't like this new toothpaste Veronica bought'. Had a closer look at the tube - it was some sort of antiseptic cream!

Well vaseline certainly enabled George Carman QC to provide one of the most entertaining High Court trials.  :grin:

I'm guessing this is common. At least I hope it is as I do it all too frequently and just have yet again.

Go to a room to get something. See something that needs tidying or maybe another job. Do the tidying/job. Go back without bringing what you went for.

I keep losing my mobile phone, so I have to use the house phone to ring it. If I can't hear it, it's in the car  :grin: Like Klondy, I get distracted easily and forget what it was I was doing.

I never forget what I was doing - I just don't remember
