How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? I only seem to be able to remember the question.

I have become old
Okay, so this morning I was on my way to check a pool pump. The TPS light came on, I pulled over and all tires looked okay. Figured a slow leak or temp change. Did the pump job and went to Big O and had them check the tires. Since it was a new to me truck, after they fixed the nail hole, had them put nitrogen in. No charge, I gave the tech a $20 and continued running a few errands.
All of a sudden, I realized I didn't have my cell. This is a big deal, because everything I know about anything is in that phone.
You guessed it, it was at Big O. The guy knew it was mine, pulled up the "ticket" and dialed my number .. guess what .. the cell rang. He figured I'd figure it out and held on to it.
I've had a cell since 1992 when I retired from the Navy and went to work in corporate America (company cell - electronic leash). In 1997 when I move to Colorado to help Mom with my dying Father, I got a personal one. In all those years, never left it anywhere.
Sad part, had to retrace all the errands, because I couldn't remember where I last saw it. I can tell you "sea tales" from 40 years ago with absolute clarity, but, this morning, not so much.. yes ... it's official, I'm getting old.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? I only seem to be able to remember the question.

Getting old isn't when you can't remember where you left your cell phone...
Getting old is when you get the cell phone back ... You don't know what a cell phone is......

The funny thing was ... the guy at Big O told me to prove it was mine ... I said let me put my thumb on it and you'll know ...

Getting old is better than the alternative... And let me think, what was the question? You know your getting old when you go into a room to get something and you can't remember what that something is
Naa, It's not that your getting old... Its the doorway..Every time you pass through a doorway it triggers whats known as an ''Event Boundary'' In the mind, Separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank state for the new locale...Getting old is better than the alternative... And let me think, what was the question? You know your getting old when you go into a room to get something and you can't remember what that something is

The worst part is standing in the bathroom and not being able to remember if you are coming in or going out..... You know your getting old when you go into a room to get something and you can't remember what that something is
The bathroom is the one room I never have a "blank slate" .... when you're in there three or four times a night ... you tend to not forget.
It has been proven, the door jams are the aliens that take the memory away when you pass them..What they do with them, I don't know, but you never get them back...No matter how hard you try..can't remember what you were in the room for..can't remember why you are in the cellar...
I believe it is a Goverment conspiracy, to get the older folks not to remember, that way they can take something away from you and you will never remember after you go pass the door jam!
What do you think?

The remedy for that is simple... Before you are about to enter a different room stop just short of entering, Turn around and walk backwards into the room...Doing that will fool your brain and you will remember why you are entering the room...
Safety First;;;;;;;
This technique is not advisable with going down to a cellar....

Heck, listen in on the conversations 'til they're finished. Hang up, 2 short cranks 1 long gets you the operator, Opal, and you can call for free anywhere in the county. Outside the county it's a toll call.
