Not Dead Yet - Forum

We all have our senior moments, so why not a subject ONLY for them, no POLITICS. Heres whay happened to me today.
 decided to have a coffee, put the kettle on, put sugar in cup followed by the coffee,when the kettle boiled poured the water into the cup,it looked weak, so gave it a stir it still lookeed like water, i realised then that I put the coffee in the sugar basin.
Shall we try and keep this for senior moments and try not to diversify. I am sure you have all got some to tell.

Hello William,  What a terrific Idea!!

Senior Moments are getting on the Increase, but is sure to give one a good laugh?? -- Only yesterday, I forgot to put the Tea bags in the cups -- Stirring like mad, untill Eve came in and said -- "where is the Tea Bags " ----
The Bells Rang ??? -----

Ever tried putting your Shoes on, when your Slippers are still on your Feet ?? Yes!! I have -- and was looking at my feet as well??  Can You Believe That --I Did It ::) ::)
Just No Help for some of us ::) ::)

On a saturday night after a couple o pints, i ask for a whiskey with ice. what did I ask for on sat. Awhiskey with MINCE.Now its a standing joke.

William the sad thing is I would have known what you meant  ::)

Hello William,  T'is but a slip of the tongue ??  But it does give othere's a laugh??? --- I've no 'senior moments' to report, but does not mean i have not had them  ::) ::)

I had two today,first I forgot my best friends brithday !

they are true friends and understood,both said they would get their own back lol........and they will lol

Oh!! Dear Mac,  You have 'Blotted' your copy book??
Delighted They are True Friends and ER!!  will get their own back ?? -----  They Too, may well have a Senior moment, at the appropiate Time ::) ::) ::) LOL!! LOL!!

my senior moment on the ship. Went for a shower.put my hand through the half open door to turn on the shower, the spray had been left facing the door, got a spray of ice cold water which left the floor wet through, however managed to adjust it and get into the shower,washing myself, i realised i still had my underpants on.

Saved you washing them then William lol lol

just keep 'em rolling in ??
Went to the hospital this morning, bought the 'Mail' to read while waiting.  Back Home, got changed, Eve said "Where is The Paper" ?? -- Ehem??  had left it in the hospital -- So out i had to go -- again!!  Oh! Boy!!
 One cannot have 'enough' ---- Senior moments, for 'FUN' ?????

... and to keep your body and brain going. In Germany we say "what you don't have in your brain, you must have in your feet" lol

WE dont say that here Teri we say a mans brain is elsewhere but I cant say  :o ;D

Mac, this saying we have, too, and it seems to be correct in some cases ....... :o

Thats not true Mac, otherwise I would have had dementia years ago.

Er! Um!  One should not 'Distort The truth'   LOL?????

Well who says you havent ? lol lol ;D ;D
William

Shucks!!  These things Do creep up on one and we could do without their rapid progress  ::) ::) ::)

Ups, this discussion took a funny turn - I didn't speak of dementia......

I've forgotten what i was going to say  ;)

We understand ! ::)

 ;)
sometime ago my tongue decided as usual to do it's own thing in other words speak before the brain had completely woken up, I turned to my friend and said I was having a SENIOR MOMENT, "Oh no" he said "You're just having an INTELLECTUAL INTERLUDE" 

What a nice expression, Geraldine.
By the way - from time to time you must excuse my English - as I'm German and we, here, in Germany learn UK English as well as American English I either use the wrong word or intermix the two. However, I'm very happy, if you correct me.

 :)Teri I have a lovely friend actually she is married to my sons best friend she is also German and she learnt english by watching a television series called the YOUNG ONES, and she wondered why she got funny looks when she used certain words, her english is brilliant now but we still laugh about it.

I believe the whole idea of Forums, is to help and learn from each other. -- You can,put your hand up, if you agree with me  ::) ::) ::)

ok Pheonix,SIR  ;)

Phoenix I think we all agree - aye, aye!!!!

" Oh!! Happy Days and Happy Friends"

ok you lot beat this, my classic intellectual interlude.
Sainsburys cash desk all my groceries are through and I have paid the bill everything is packed into bags and there are people waiting, bother, damn and blast I have lost them, I turned to the cashier, now here I must point out this is our regular shop and everybody knows my husband and his mother, the girls love teasing Paul and they have threatened to organise a wheelchair race for him, anyway, what, pardon, oh yes I remember I was there at the cash desk all my groceries had gone through, oh we've done that, well the cashier said had I lost something I said yes my sunglasses, I can't find them, the woman next to me burst out laughing, the cashier tried to be diplomatic and pointed no I hadn't got them pushed up on my head, I WAS WEARING THEM, no beat that

Oh! Dear! Geraldine,  What a Dilima????  Wish that I had been there to Video it all ?? Your sure not the first and certainly not the last, so join the Queue and find your right place, --- No Queue jumping Allowed  ::) ::) ::)

Here's another phrase for having an 'intellectual moment.'

I must stress this is not mine! It's my lady nurse friend who taught me this. So please be understanding :-*

She calls it a CRAFT MOMENT.   Can't Remember A F.....g Thing!

I have loads and loads of CRAFT moments, oh boy I am glad I am not the only one.
i always said I would retire disgracefully and embarrass the children and yep I did!!

A 'crafty' moment ?? had not thought of it that way. We just laugh them off -- well sometimes. just how can one, apply more memory, to one's own computer (on the head) ??
 What?? No Disc Space!!
