As for the two recent guys, good question.

I drop way too many things these days. Like my hand just decides to go on strike.

That said, I was getting my teeth cleaned today and the hygienist rinsed out my mouth and then dropped the suction tube before he could use it to remove said rinse. So I had to sit there with a mouth full of water I wanted to spit out while he opened a new tube end and got it all inserted. And he's in his late 20s or early 30s, so I had a silent chuckle thinking it isn't just us old farts who are fumble fingered.

Could you drop something for me?!

Show from the 70s. My parents had the board game. Still being played by many to this day.

When half the steps you take every day are caused by going back to wherever you'd just been to do something you forgot to do while you were there.

Related, if you keep driving in circles to accomplish the thing you originally started out to do but - hey look, a store!!!

Anyways, shouldn't those circular miles be rolled back off the odo?

Wifey and I just went and got our second boosters. Then we went next door to the grocery store because we're out of butter. We ended up buying salad stuff, milk, chicken (my gawd that's getting expensive), and bread. We were half way home when it hit us that we never grabbed butter, which was the one thing we went there to get. Like I was saying earlier, repeated steps because you can't remember shit.

And earlier today I was tying up a long electrical cord with a zip tie and when I snipped the excess tie with the scissor, I somehow managed to also snip off a good chunk of flesh from my index finger knuckle. I'm so dangerous with any tool at all in my hands.

….you are sitting at home on the couch eating orange chicken, white rice and a baguette from Cheesecake Factory while watching "…And Just Like That," the Sex and the City reboot.

How embarrassing! ….maybe I'll watch "One Life to Live" instead. I started watching soaps in 5th grade.

I think before you really hurt yourself bad today, you should sit down on the couch with a nice drink and just call it a day

And Just Like That? Seriously? I'm revoking your man card.

[dokterdok]

I remember when websites had midi soundtracks, "under construction" gifs, and all visuals had Drop Shadows + Bevel and Emboss + Gradients. Probably made with a warez Photoshop 4.0 version downloaded in 38 parts with a 28.8k modem.

I never pass up bread. I'm a carb junkie and Cheesecake Factory's baguette is taaaassstttyyyy.

I always did John Wayne. What a pleasure compared to LAX!

Yes, I prefer John Wayne as well. It's a 50-minute drive. Do you have a layover?

Sounds normal to me. Lost count of how many times we have been out for 1-2 items and ended up buying anything but that item. It's worse when we go to Target as that's her favorite store.

Experiment. Try going without her and see if you remember kidding. I cannot remember more than 5 things it seems. If she says get me this as well.. I have to say no. It's like something new displaces what's there.

[cmyx6go]

And this is why I make a list. Which is ultimately left behind. In NY they no longer give you bags. You have to bring your own. It’s a really good Sunday when I remember both my list and my bags.

And rental cars on site. Only bad thing is I would normally fly out on the red eye. If it was delayed too long you ran the risk of being canceled as there was a cut off time for outbound flights due to the noise ordinance. My business centered around Orange County so it was also very convenient.

In our area these days, the school bus will sit outside every kid's front door for 5+ minutes while they put their mittens on indoors for the frigid 55 degree outside temperature. Oh, and let's not forget the helicopter parents who drive their kids to/from school to spare them the trauma of a bus ride!

Man, do I remember those longs cords. Only way I could get to my room with the phone and talk to my girlfriend in private.
