The Coffee House

[smoke665]

My wife and I laugh at this one all the time, because it hits so close to home. Our master suite is on the top floor.

A senior couple are both having some short term memory loss. One evening they’re sitting and reading, when the husband gets up.

“Would you like anything from the kitchen?” he asks. “Some vanilla ice cream,” his wife replies.

“Okay.” he replies. “Shouldn’t you write it down so you don’t forget it?” she asks. “Don’t worry, I won’t forget.” he says.

“Well,” she says. “A few strawberries on top would be great. You want to write that down?
“I’ve got it, honey. A bowl of vanilla ice cream with strawberries on top.” “And add chocolate sauce, on top too. I just know you’ll forget. Are you sure you don't me to write it down for you?”, she asks.

A little miffed, he replies, “I’VE GOT IT! Ice cream, stawberries and chocolate sauce. I don’t need it written down, for gosh sakes!”

He heads out to the the kitchen. A half hour later, he comes back with a plate of ham and scrambled eggs, and gives it to his wife.

She stares at the plate a few seconds, then says,...................... “You forgot my toast!”

I couldn't remember Brookshire Brothers store earlier today to save my butt.
When our store has a sale the other places can't touch our prices.

I went and got myself a birthday present.

Love the yellow second hand and the black date wheel.

I just checked to make sure I was still in the Coffeehouse, I forgot where I left off.

Actually what supposedly happens is not that we get more forgetful, but we are more aware of it. (I guess when we're younger we don't notice or don't care.)

I forget how I know that... some inservice on memory and cognition I think.

Friend of mine said he was glad he got the grass cut in time for more snow.

The joys of growing old with your spouse.

There was a time when if I did something to really P--- O-- the DW she would stay mad for days. You know the kind of mad where every response is a one syllable word...... You still mad? NO........You okay? YES.............Anything I can do? NO... and on, and on we'd play that game, till finally she'd get over it.

Now if I really make her mad I just go out to the shop for a couple hours, and by the time I come back she can't remember so I'm home free...............only bad thing is I can't remember what it was I'm home free on!!

Home, Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are home. After a nice lunch of fish, (not nearly as nice as yesterday’s lunch at Thornton’s), Gary re-upped his seats at the local theatre ... then some frozen yogurt which we brought home. It has been a beautiful day, temps in the 70’s, nice and sunny. We settling in for an afternoon of watching Coco and eating frozen yogurt.

Enjoying fresh Aspergus from our bed in the yard. Already had a several smaller meals, but they are really producing now. Sadly we have to leave next week and by the time we get back it will be going to seed. Oh well, good while it lasted. Amazing how something I hated as a kid is now so good.

MLW has to check folks in at the Fire/EMS Department's graduation, tomorrow morning. I was going to wait for her to get home, grab the car and hot the local trout pond - I missed the passed few weekends for various reasons.

I went to a small training class at work, today, and was talking to a friend in the Emergency Management Office. She tells me "There's an opening in the SAR/Community Disaster class, this weekend if you'd like to go (hint, hint). There's going to be free breakfast (hint, hint, hint)."

So, instead of trying to nab a few Rainbows and Goldens, I'll be in class all weekend. Oh, well.

So go out today for the whole day, battery all fully charged and go for a nice walk. Take X-T20 out of bag switch on, and nothing then try it again and what a plonker I am. I left the fully charged battery on top of my desk ooops, had a good walk though haha.

I've done that once. But when I discovered the battery was AWOL, I was in the air between Baltimore and San Diego.

I have three fully charged spares in the bag at all times. As soon as one dies, I recharge it as soon as I go home.

I feel your pain, I suffer from the dreaded disease "Hereafter".....,.................................i go from one room to another and can't remember what I'm hereafter!

I do that all the time. Just this morning at work I walk into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Mug in hand, I couldn't remember why I was in the kitchen.

Spent the day inside, packaging and shipping finished products. On 3 separate orders I had everything wrapped, boxed, box sealed and shipping label attached...only to realize I forgot to put the paperwork inside the box.

Coco!!! Five Stars ... pure entertainment. If you have any Mexican/Aztec blood ... Six Stars.

It grows wild everywhere around my crib. Will be picking it in the next few weeks.
