I love this thread!! Teri, thank you so much for being so honest. Maybe I'm okay after all. I've done the washing machine thing, too. I'm also bad about setting it all up and forgetting to turn it on. I go in to put the clothes in the dryer and they are still dry. I do the same thing with the dishwasher. Go to put the clean dishes away, and I never started the machine. I forget peoples names when introducing them.

We do have too much information in our lives today. Too many numbers to remember, just overall information overload. It's no wonder we short circuit once in a while.

It hasn't been too long since I wouldn't have even understoon that joke, much less said it!:rolleyes:

yeah, at least we know we are all going down together! :D

Well - I knew a couple of years ago that things were only going to go downhill for me.
On my 40th birthday, my 5 nieces baked me birthday cupcakes. When I blew out the candles, the 5 year old asked me how old I was. When I told her that I was 40, she made this horrified face and said "Auntie, your almost dead!"

So it's no wonder that any of us over 40 has memory problems, according to my niece we are absolutely ancient.

Oh Dobie...your niece must be a hoot!!! How funny for her to say that....kids!

I know once I turned 40, I tried to do a cartwheel in the front yard for my son. My mom was going to do one too, until we both heard the muscle in my leg make a strange noise and then I was in so much pain. Ended up in the ER and came home with the best pain meds I ever had....LOL. No one told me not to do cartwheels after 40...duh!

ouch Janet!

i had to do this about 5 times since Micah was born, i hurry up and run downstairs and throw a load of clothes in the washer then run back upstairs to the baby, and do a bunch of stuff, then i always forget that there is clothes in the washer and throw another load on top of the one that's in there... until i hear my washer banging around downstairs cause it's overloaded... so if you find your brian, have it tell you where mine is at too please !!!!!

I found ALL of your brains and they're in great shape!!! Only thing is, is that they're here in Kansas with me and they've been having a great time. A little rough around the edges from all the, ummmm......., fun but still in one piece! If you want them back you'll have to come and get them because they're in no shape to travel back to you! I'll take care of them until you get here to pick them up. Oh, and they said to tell you "Hello" and that they miss you and to please hurry!!!

:34: was wondering why my head still hurts!

How is my brain Diana? Tell it please to take care, and that I have appreciated it and am grateful for all that it got me through, but I no longer need it. I really don't want to start all that thinking and problem solving and planning again. It's way too much trouble.

I don't want mine either...I want a better one.

yeah, you can have mine too. It was getting old and warn out anyway.

Tell my brain to take a chill pill. I'm enjoying the break for a while. Now where are my glasses??? I'm sure they are here somewhere, hmmmmmm......
