Has anyone seen my brain?

[teri88]

I seem to have misplaced my brain. I'm doing laundry and I just heard the washing machine stop. So, I go in, open the door and it's empty! Yup, I ran the entire cycle without remembering to put the clothes in there! Getting old sucks! lol

Just means you need a vacation Where are we going?

[Janet]

Sorry Teri, don't mean to laugh honestly, but that is hilarious. Look at it this way...you were just cleaning out your washer. Great idea!!!

[DianaB]

It sounds like Teri needs to go and visit Janet for a few days while her guys are gone! Wish that I could come but after going to Chicago I'm kinda' tripped out for a while. It was a shame that we had to get on home or Dae Lynn and I would have stopped by. (Sigh)

Teri, my mother-in-law used to do that quite often!!! She used to be a very intelligent woman, still is somewhat, but she sure had her goof-ups!! Alot of them involved the stove or the car!!!!

[teri88]

Janet, don't feel bad for laughing, I did too! The worst part was, when I opened the door and saw it was empty my first thought was not "oh I forgot to put the clothes in there" it was "OMG where did they go???"

Diana, I used to be a very intelligent woman too! Between the side effects of some of my medicines and the lack of mental stimulation from not working....I am turning into a turnip brain!

I think that all of us that are at that time of life when EVERYTHING changes can say that too. Don't beat yourself up! We'll keep your brain stimulated!!!! LOL!!!! (That will be like the blind leading the blind!!!!)

I taught an adult Sunday School class and went to say something to a very good friend of mine that I've know for years and years.........I couldn't remember her name! Talk about being a turnip brain!!!

[Janet]

Oh Diana I have done that!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it awful to look someone you've known like forever and can't remember their name.

Looks like our brains have gone on vacation together - I just ironed my husband's shirt without plugging in the iron (it took me about 5 minutes to figure out why it wasn't getting hot)

[Tink]

Oh Don't feel bad! I made 3 trips to town one day before I remembered to get the thing I really went for! As my DH says, we just need more RAM... Too much stuff stored in our brains to be able to retrieve it like we used to.

To bad we can't defragment and clear out the clutter in the brain sometimes!

Teri, I think your brain is hiding out in the same place that mine is. Luckily, I'm so far gone that I quickly forget what it is I just forgot! This allows me to walk around feeling like I'm just fine.

[Janet]

Good one Judy!!!

OMG I do that do, I was told in a memorization class to go over the alpabet and believe me it works.. Try it when you forget someones name...

Teri don't sweat it we all do things absent mindely.. I once put on the clothes dryer and ran it for a min until I remembered I didn't put the laundry in.. DUH!!! I think we do to much today and try to multi task and are not really paying attention to our surroundings...lol
