Pickles by Brian Crane for April 18, 2013

Time to have the doctor prescribe Exelon patchesfor him Opal.

The scary thing is that these hit home regularly……

Hitting a little too close theresometimes when writing a check I still start with19-

I can relate…..

Is it still 1951?

Time passes so fast, sometimes I’m still typing 2012 and we’re 4 months into 2013!

it would be very nice if GoComics had an ‘edit’ button as well as ‘delete’ and ‘reply’ buttons.

Be’s zat way sometimes Earl . . .

I can relate, Earl. I sometimes think if I collapsed in the street and they asked me those questions they ask older folks to see if we’re still compos mentis, they’d put me down as totally gaga. Who’s the mayor? Not a clue, I don’t pay attention to local politics. Who’s the president of the Spanish Parliament? Not sure. I get them mixed up. What’s today’s date? Uh…lemme think. Even when asked how old I am, I have to stop and do a little math because I stopped counting about 25 yrs ago.

It seems as though they change it every year. It’s a CONSPIRACY !!!

I think you mean George W.

So, WHAT YEAR IS IT?

This happens more often than you’d think! I worked at a grocery store and sometimes I checked and it wasn’t too unusual for an elderly person to pause while writing out their check to ask what year it is.

When they ask how old you are, you ask them “what year is it?”. That gets you quicker service.

I wish I could forget Obama is president

And I thought MY memory was extremely bad.

LOL xxx

Regardless of any of the comments I’ve read here, it could be worse. Several years ago I went through a 2-month+ spell in hospitals where I didn’t know who I was or where I was. I didn’t even know members of my own family.

I knew a guy who got fair grades in college, but he never bothered learning the months, and had to ask people “what month is it?”

It was a very good year… hiccup ! !
