Senile already

[Boris Godunov]

I could have sworn I'd bought some sour cream when I went to the grocery 3 days ago. Last night I scoured the fridge, but nada. I thought I'd just imagined buying it.

Well, I just found it. In the cupboard. And not the pantry which has other food items in it, this was all dishes.

It's just death next, right? Lancer, Ming?

[Asher]

Maybe your trick stole it?

I was doing similar things, including puting the TV remote in the fridge, before I turned 20.

I still recall this one time, years ago, when I had a glass of milk, got up from the table, stuck the dirty glass in the refrigerator and put the jug of milk in the sink. Ten minutes later my mother asked me if the milk had gone bad, or what?

You were stealing people's sour cream when you were taken home as a trick?

I've repeatedly poured Orange Juice in my cereal, ruining it. In the morning, of course.

I rectified the situation by drinking Coke with breakfast. So if I poured Coke in the cereal, it still tasted damn good.

You could also have switched to a cereal that went well with OJ, though I can't think of one offhand.

It wasn't stolen, it was in the cupboard. He didn't seem like the practical joke type.

[notyoueither]

Does sour cream go sour?

I brushed my teeth with shaving cream whilst sleepwalking a few years ago.

[Boris Godunov]

You sleepwalk? Creeeeeepy.

'Just death' it isn't. While the body and mind slowly and sometimes painfully grind to a halt the spirit tries to break free of the baggage of this world and...well that process is as far as I've gotten. However there was one huge sign post on my road the memory of which is great solace as I proceed to this new thing called death to which I have been close but to which I now believe to be distant. In the mean time I have slain great foes of baggage, smoking...several times , booze now and again, aloneness both spiritual and physical, and I have learned to make my own choices by not giving in to selfish desires which only seem worthy or exciting choices and so I have learned faithfulness...To a point, these things never stop being learned once started. There is always greater depth and though I have a long way to go I have no idea how far or to what end. I bring to my death two companions in whom I can depend and who will not fail me, one physical and spiritual and one truly Holy spirit to whom I am forever grateful for bothering to show me its love, once, that being my sign. So, though I wish to not leave my wife I know that the one in whom I put my faith will be worthy of it and that I will see her again in her time.

Anyway, buckle up boys and girlz, its going to be a wild ride.

Ming may have a different take.

My latest 'senior moment' was losing a nearly full (17) book of stamps that I had just stood in line for 20 min to purchase. I think I chucked em in the mail slot at the PO along with my taxes maybe one minute after purchase. DAMN TAXES!!

[Blaupanzer]

The first senior moments sem to be when you get up and go to another room only to realize you can't remember what it was you intended to do. Another is buying a loaf of bread, or whatever, that your wife reminded you to get 3 days in a row. We barely use a loaf a week, but my memory keeps triggering that requirement. Mostly it is forgetting, then forgetting that you forgot. I make and carry a lot of lists now I never needed when younger.

As to death, we will all do it, so no reason to rush its appearance. Death will have to find me or strike down the body first, because I am not spending any time waiting for it.

As my father still constantly reminds me (since I'm sure he forgot he already told me)

Getting old isn't for sissies.
