Forgetful?

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a check-up, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down. Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair

'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asked.

'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?' 'Sure.'

'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.

'No, I can remember it.' Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?'

He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'

I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.

Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.

'Where's my toast?'

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great I would recommend it very highly.'

The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?' The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What's the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has thorns.'

Do you mean a rose?'

Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: 'So I hear you're getting married?'

'Yep!'

'Do I know her?'

'Nope!'

'This woman, is she good looking?'

'Not really.'

'Is she a good cook?'

'Nah, she can't cook too well.'

'Does she have lots of money?'

'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'

'Well, then, is she good in bed?'

'I don't know.'

'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'

'Because she can still drive!'


A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.'

'Really,' answered the neighbor. 'What kind is it?' 'Twelve thirty.'

Morris , an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'

Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''

The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

One more........ A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool... After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'

'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

Hearing: My wife has several instances she could add to the above.
I've come to the realization that hearing aids only work to increase the level of noise, and do nothing to improve my wife's mumbling.

mumbling is easy.
it's ''whatever'' 90% of the time.
the other 10% is stuff you don't want to hear anyway.

My X wife wore haring aids though I don't know why . . . She mumbled just as bad when wearing them as when she wasn't.

"you're not even listening to me ."
I thought that was an odd way to start a conversation .

I remembered why I went in the other today ......it was the bathroom , but it's a start .

I suffer from CRS. Walked into the living room and couldn't remember what I went in there for. Go back to my den and remembered it was for me reading glasses. One way to get some excersize. Hate when that happens. Been using my Kubota L3800 tractor pretty much lately, so found my old grease gun and did all the grease points, checked the oil and lubed where the lift arms connect to the bush hog. so that's ready to go. Has just a little over 110 hours on it and most likely will change out the oil and filter. Blew out the grill and radiator due to the darn puff balls. Bought one of the little Kobalt hot dog air compressors just for that. Sure beats moving the other one I have. Just little things to keep busy. Been raining pretty much these last three days so kinda put a crimp in my outside work. Frank

They call that the "hereafters". As in "what'd I come in here after?". Graduate studies have proved that doorways cause memory loss.

View attachment 15601Hhmmm . . . Is the cure memory foam shoes? o_O
Ironically, a pair of memory foam sneakers just arrived, but I haven't had them on long enough to come to any conclusions. However, as I posted in another thread, for sure memory foam pillows don't work, and may be a case of false advertizing.

Graduate studies have proved that doorways cause memory loss.
Did the study include long rooms, or just door ways?

I don't remember exactly, but the basis of the memory loss is the sudden change of environment causes a consciousness reset and the thought that was being held just before the reset is pretty much erased.

Kind of like deja vu, only different. A brain hiccup causes the moment to be viewed in real time, then again on a delay. Or some such.
