RE: "Senior Moments For Sharing" Posted Sunday, September 19, 2010 07:01 PM From Jeff Vennard "$5.37." That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me. I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Jolly Rancher. Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change, when the kid with the Elmo hairdo said the harshest thing anyone has ever said to me. "Only $4.68," he said cheerfully. He said, "It's OK. I'll just give you the senior citizen discount." |

RE: "Senior Moments For Sharing" Posted Friday, October 1, 2010 04:47 PM Senior moments abound. Like leaving to go to work on the other side of Iowa and get as far as Sac City and realize that I left my paper work at home. This putting me two hours behind schedule since one hour home and one back to Sac City. Late for appointment---OOOOHHH YEEESSS. Going into Sioux City to work on a Thursday, (bowling nite) you guest it--forgot my bowling balls. You all know you can't just use a house ball since they don't fit and the balls aren't new enough for the lane conditions. I was lucky that my last appointment was a no show and that let me go back home( 30 minute drive one way) to get my OWN balls. THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. Went to a corvette party(pot luck dinner), everyone brings something. I make a great potato salad and of course I forgot it at home. 30 minutes home 30 minutes back to Sioux City. By that time everyone had eaten, but like I said, I make a GREAT potato salad and they all dove into it. Working part-time, I frequently leave things that I need, at home. When I get to the point that I leave the house without my pants---it will be time to retire. I just had another moment last night. Went to find my bowling balls and they weren't where I normally keep them. I looked everywhere---bedrooms,hallway,closets,trunk of cars and the motorhome. Then I thought about the last time I had them. We went camping and my friend drove us from the camp ground into Sioux City so I could bowl. I remembered leaving them in the back seat of his car. So I called but NO they weren't in the car. I then tried to use my brain, thinking back two weeks ago when I had them and what did I do with them. Looked back in the camper(the bedroom) and sure enough there they be. Then my left knee that had replaced last year has been giving me some problems so I have been wearing my knee brace lately but couldn't think where it was for a few moments. After running about the house, I realize I put it in the bowling bag. WHAT A CONCEPT. So I had to calm down for a bit in order to get ready to go bowling. The old brain needs exercise just like the body and boy did it get it.
