[Humour] Middle aged absent-mindedness

[DavidinSouthampton]

I often have little conversations with myself. Is that normal at 64?

Sometimes it’s the only way to get a sensible answer

Read this thread yesterday and thought I'd post something but got distracted. Nope can't remember what it was.......

Quite often get the oven warning up, set my phone timer to let me know when my food has finished cooking.
That goes off and I go to the oven to get my food out only to find it still sitting on the top waiting to be put into the oven.

When I was younger I used to get annoyed when people forgot to turn off their indicator after they had finished making the turn. Casually cruising along a straight road with their left indicator flashing. I used to think how easy it is to just remember to switch it off.

Now at 51, I am sometimes THAT person.

......I am reassured by this thread - remind me what it is about??

I'm fortunate to have a wife who reminds me about everything, continuously!

There's absent-mindedness in action. I'm really not sure you can actually 'make' eggs. That's the hen's job!

If anyone were to start a thread about US English terms of phrase that shouldn't annoy you but do, this would be top of my list.

No, my friend, you are not going to make some eggs, you're going to boil, poach, fry, scramble etc. some eggs.

I like this thread. I’m relieved and get much comfort from seeing that there are so many of us with the same or similar issues - which means we’re all completely normal for our age(s). Though I suppose it could also mean we’re all on the verge of going bonkers.

I think the long term damage of some of the performances under Hypia could be a factor

I recently had a small denture fitted as I couldn't afford an implant. For the second time in 2 weeks I've forgotten the blasted thing. Really annoying and I look like a pirate.

Don't know what you're talking about.

I have just asked myself that question . And yes it is

I find the problem starts once I start disagreeing with myself. And I'm pretty disagreeable at times.

Saturday got off to a great start. I got up at half 6, enjoyed my cuppa and breakfast, and then an hour later Mrs GCCM got up. Being a kind soul, I asked her what she wanted for breakfast. Her reply 'I don't want any anything now, did you forget we are going out for breakfast?'

Doh!

I sometimes forget to come home from the pub.

Edit:
I forget what I was going to say

Went on holiday to Devon just before Christmas last year, settled down to bed at around midnight and my phone went off. It was a police officer who was walking around my house as not only had I forgotten to lock my doors, I'd left both my front doors wide open.

Luckily nothing was taken.
