On Sunday night I was sitting on the side of the bed resetting the alarm on the bedside alarm clock holding it in my hands in front of me when I looked over to where it normally sits to see what the time was. Doh... ???
last Friday afternoon we were swapping out some PC's at work for a refresh when the boss removed a PC and replaced it with the same one. (Not telling him I am posting this although he has a 6 month old keeping him awake at night).
Yesterday a colleague looked in the Brownbuilt cupboard for his lunch instead of the fridge.
Are we losing the plot?
Tell us your story....

If you find yourself at a closed doorway, grasping the doorknob - and you cant remember if you are closing the door or opening the door - then you dont have altzheimers!!
If you find yourself at a closed doorway grasping the doorknob - and you dont know what the doorknob does - then you do have altzheimers. ???
At the moment i still know what a doorknob does, so i might be ok. My main problem know tho is understanding manuals for anything electronic. Didnt have that problem in the Analog Age!!
Cheers.

Remember there are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those that don't.

you bend over, get up, sit down.
The older you get, the louder the noises get, if you fart when you bend over, get up or sit down, you are really really old ;D

00110010 is the binary equivalent of the 8-bit ascii text code for 2, 10 is the binary equivalent of decimal 2. Sorry to be a pain in the a$$

The first signs of old age are, the noises you make when;that aint a good sign then!!
you bend over, get up, sit down.
The older you get, the louder the noises get, if you fart when you bend over, get up or sit down, you are really really old ;D

We had just returned from a weekend camping and the pots and pans needed a good clean. No campfire at home so SHMBO went inside and boiled the kettle and carried the hot water out to the plastic camping sink on the back porch to do the dishes.
She forgot that in the kitchen we have a tap with all the hot water we could want!

The misses is younger than me so shouldn't call this one "old-timers".:cup: :cup: :cup:

I saw a Carl Baron DVD a few years back - something he said hit a chord with me. You know you're getting old when you start walking around with your hands held behind your back (a la Prince Phillip). You see a lot of old codgers doing just that - strolling around and taking in the sights with their hands behind their back. I give myself a quick uppercut when I catch myself doing that...which seems to be often nowadays.Well, when you're young, your hands are usually busy with other things..........
