happens all the time. today i opened a large, gallon, of cooking oil. wife says 2 more open in downstairs storage. oh well. good for a few years, at least.
Be careful about that! I had a big bottle of vegetable oil I have been using out of for some time. ("It never goes bad.", I said to myself.) Made a nice chocolate cake and used two tablespoons of that oil in the cake (with nuts and chocolate chips too!)
While it was baking I could smell something off color in the house. "Must be the nuts", I told myself, they will be ok after they warm up during the bake cycle."
First bite of the cake would not go down! Tasted very rancid. Checked the veg. oil....it was very bad! Cake went into the garbage along with the half full bottle of veg. oil!

Drove to Costco this AM. I needed razor blades. I bought hearing aid batteries. After arriving home I realized I had 4 months of batteries and still needed razor blades. Well - they both have to do with my head. That's close enough, right? I guess I'll have the smoothest ears in the world. 
Have a good day. Mine is already good.

You are not alone. When I go to the bathroom, I automatically sit down. Half the time I forget what I am there for.

Mark,
Next Feb. I turn 80 and I'm thanking God that after 52 years our marriage our sex life is still going.
I guess that now, you have given me something else to thank God for.

Were I to take Captain's advice seriously I would have to go get a new smartphone with enough memory for all the 'to be membered' things. Is Picu bytes the next notch up.

write it down before you go...or use your cell phone's notes app. Works for me if it's more than 1 item...otherwise I have to remember why I'm in the car going somewhere.

Your mind is not a good thing to lose. My son put a large desk calendar on my dinning room table when I started to miss my Dr. appointments. He still calls me the night before to remind me. Ill soon be 89 so I guess that goes with old age. Im just glad I don't have to remember to put film in the camera any more.

Went to Costco with the list in my head. Forgot one of my wife’s items. Got in trouble again! Now with a written list in my hand I only come out with what I went in for. Seems to save money and my hardship.😎

I text myself a list so I have something with me to remind me what to get.
As long as I remember to take my phone.

I call it "oldtimers" disease. Or CRS (Can't Remember S**T) since everyone has a mental acronym now.
I make lists and then forget where I put my lists.
