    Default Senior Moments

    Last night I telephoned my friend in Nanaimo and as the house phone was being used thought I would ring her on my lap top on Skype. (phoned her house phone). whilst we were talking I told her I was using the lap top and she said ooh can you see me. Just burst out laughing.
    That reminded me of when we first came here and I was always putting the weather channel on the TV. One day I said to my husband 'where's this place called Dewpoint, it always seems a lot colder than Nanaimo' I dont want to repeat what he said but more or less called me stupid. I had never see dewpoint on weather forecast before in UK, and knowing there was a place called Dukes Point, well just lets call it a senior moment.

    I recall having moments like these even as a young man. The other day my daughter was visiting from school, and she goes around most of the time with her cell phone glued to her face like just about everybody else anymore. She was marching around the living room overturning cushions and magazines looking for something while talking to a local friend of hers she was going to meet up with. I finally asked her what she was doing, and she turned to me exasperated as heck: "I can't find my cell phone!" I could hear her friend laughing over the phone from the other side of the room.

    I don't know what it is about car keys but I'm always losing them. I have been caught looking for them while I was holding them in my hands. Definitely a senior moment. I think I'll just attach them to a big hubcap like the restroom key at some gas stations so I'll never lose them.

    I don't know, I seem to have fewer senior moments as I get older. I forgot things a lot more often when I was young. When I was a boy, I tried wearing contacts for a while and my parents made me go back to glasses because I kept losing them. I had a much harder time keeping track of addresses and phone numbers. Heh, maybe it was all the self-induced chemical imbalances my brain endured in my younger days, or younger daze perhaps I should say. And I'm not really all that old yet, definitely not faced with senile dementia. But it does seem like the memory is getting better, not worse. (On the other hand, don't ask about my knees . . .)

    Something that Chevron was giving away free (unless I'm in the middle of a senior moment) was a peel 'n' stick tag that you could attach to your car keys, your TV remote, basically anything. Whatever you lost, if you clapped your hands (I think--yes, I am having a senior moment!) the peel 'n' stick beeped and there it was, whatever it was. If they could do that in the late 1980s, why can't we have it back?

    HAHA, now that you have gotten over the drug overuse things have started to settle down for you. LOL. The real fun begins really as you get older because you think you are getting smarter with memory when in fact it is really an illusion of what your memory is trying to do in play of humoring you.
