OT: Senior Moment, am I alone?

[Ron and Vida]

I'm a little embarrassed about this, but what the heck. I have three sons, three daughters-in-law, and 5 grandsons. My wife makes me wrap all the presents, which is really alot since she always goes overboard. Well anyway, one morning I asked her where my scissors with the orange handle was. She said she didn't know, but as always, she probably used them and left them somewhere. Fast forward to Christmas day at my son's house, and while opening presents my son at the far side of the room asked me if I intentionally wrapped something, and he was holding up a pair of scissors with orange handles. What, are you kidding me, how could I wrap scissors in a present for my grandson? OMG, the thing that popped into my mind was the old senile aunt of Clark Griswold's wife wrapping up her cat in "Christmas Vacation". I thought I was really losing it, so that's what a few days of not watching the Huskies can do to a person. Needless to say, the subject was dropped, but in the future, my sons will probably bring it up to bust my stones. LOL, Merry Christmas to my Boneyard friends, and all UConn fans around the country. Go Huskies.

Thanks for a good laugh. You’re in good company

Vida just remembered that an old friend several years ago left them opened on the couch sat on them and the hapless gent went to the ER for stitches on an unforgettable night
Have a great new year

My fault is my glasses. Several times I have looked for my glasses, checked my pockets and around my desk and looked by the TV. Not found. Then I suddenly touch my head and there are my glasses. It totally blows my mind. Is this Dementia. I really feel embarrassed when that happend. I live alone so I'm glad no-one sees it but me. I'm the guy that;s 89, GO HUSKIES!!! I also have a full head of hair which is why I don't feel my glasses.

I occasionally lose things around the house; but they usually turn up sooner or later. My record time for eventually recovering an item was about a year and a half. i was using my 3+1/2 foot long level somewhere around the house. About 6 months later I went to get it; but couldn’t find it. I looked everywhere. Every few months I would search anew without success. I finally bought a new one and life went on. Then one day I climbed up on the roof to clean my gutters and there it was covered in muck sitting inside my gutter! On the bright side I now have a spare level.

If it makes you feel any better, we are still looking for an adjustable wrench that got lost the last time we installed a dishwasher. We even took the dishwasher out to make sure that they didn’t get left underneath it. No such luck!

Don’t give up hope. Dishwashers have been known to hide tools. While installing mine, it stole my flashlight. A search of the kitchen and dishwasher area turned up nothing. A couple of weeks later I put on an old coat and reached into a pocket and there was the flashlight! Apparently when I went out to the garage to get another wrench, I had grabbed an old jacked and stuffed the light into a pocket. Luckily I had turned the light off.

I'm so glad other people do stuff like this, I don't feel so dumb now!

I have a certain degree of confusion over this. I am not sure if it is better to feel you are dumb, or to be convinced that everyone is! Both concepts are uniquely unsettling.
