Following on from a WBMT post, I made recently, it seems that many of us of a certain age seem to be suffering from a condition known as "old timers"

Just just for fun....

I've finally lost it, although I guess I shouldn't be baffled ...

I just tried to take off my reading glasses ...
.... that I wasn't wearing!

Have you got to the stage where you either go upstairs or downstairs and by the time you've got there you've forgotten the reason for doing so ? :D

If I go upstairs and forgot why I went up there, I go in the loo, just it case :D

I'm worse than that - I only have to go into the next room. :grumpy:
 
In the days when milk came in glass bottles that were left out for the milkman to collect, while clearing up after breakfast my dear old mum once managed to put the clean glass milk bottles in the kitchen cupboard while putting the sugar bowl on the doorstep.

Our microwave is next to the fridge. I often get them mixed up!

My microwave sits on top of a small upright freezer.
Thankfully I've not managed that one.

But I often put things in a safe place, and then forget exactly where or what was that safe place :D

I’ll go upstairs to go to the loo and when I get to the bathroom I’ll still forget why I went there….. :D

i get asked to put things in a safe place which is lethal
2 weeks later i can't even remember them giving it to me to put it in a safe place never mind where the safe place is

they still ask me to put things in a safe place
madness :D
 
Can you lose it (the plot, your marbles, etc) if you never had it in the first place?
Last week went to buy something from a club I belong to, only to have someone say 'there's one here in the cupboard with your name on it already'. I'd obviously bought it, for some reason didn't want to take it home straight away and had left it to collect next time I was in. I bought it in July last year............. Duh! At least I saved some money.

My Parents have an annoying habit of putting stuff "away", and then it vanishes off the face of the sodding Earth.

Apologies for bad words, I'm in a foul mood as I had to go to the Dentist this morning and didn't have a great time.

Old age is forgetting to zip up after you have had a wee. It's when you forget to unzip before you have a wee that is the real problem.

Or even worse, not wiping after you've done the other end (not always possible, often public toilets have no Bog roll)

Not necessarily...

I may have been known to have gone upstairs to put my teef in and forget to do so, having taken the opportunity to empty the bladder and forgetting the primary mission while doing so.

Ditto hearing aids, car keys, watch, phone...

I reckon I could cut my stair climbing in half (or further!) if I had a memory!
 
I'm getting there! I'm easily distracted so it's often happened that I'll be in a shop like Tesco, meet someone I know, chat for a minute then think "why am I in here?" Saying it out loud at that. This often draws the response "to buy food maybe?"
 
There was a question? :thinking:
 
Somewhere but I'm bejiggered if I know where I put it.
 
For what?
 
My car keys, bike keys, house keys and wallet all have tile bluetooth dongles to aid location. If only I could find my phone which has the the app ...

Yeah should always look there first I guess

I always look in the first place I could think of, when its not there I go to the last place...
When its not there, I back to the first place I looked, and its invariably there (y)
( how does that happen ? )
 
I'm always slightly worried that while certain gentlemen's appendages are kept in their dedicated bag, a disconnection several years ago might have rendered them more susceptible to being mislaid... That would take "Losing my marbles" to a whole new dimension!!!
