Now Opals got it ,Earls got it and I cant remember what it was.

If Sylvia or Nelson ask Opal to move, then maybe they too will forget why they entered the room.

Not a train of thoughtA train-wreck of forgetfulness

forgetfulness transference

If walking through the door makes you forget why you came in, try entering through the window next time.

Old-timers must stay away from doors.

Need to carry around a note-pad to write it down before you forget. Or maybe a little recorder.

But what if you forget to write it down/record it or forget that you wrote it down/recorded it?

What was I going to write in this space???

Who am I? Why am I here? Who cares??

They say going through a door “re-sets” your mind to whatever happens in that room. If you are in the bathroom and realize you need to buy TP, when you walk into the kitchen or den to add it to your shopping list, you forget when you go through, because you don’t use TP in those rooms.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Like the old hereafter joke: “I spend a lot of time these days thinking about the hereafter… I walk into a room and wonder: what am I here after?”

They say memory is the second thing to go… and I can’t remember what the first thing was!

try going back to wherever you were when you had the thought, that will reset your brain to the original thought and then you can write it down.

The Here After.

CRS…

OH YEAH ! NOW I remember; buy batteries for this $%^&* RECORDER !!

Opal just can’t go a day without bothering Earl…

I do this all the time. One distraction and duh!

Funny…I don’t remember being absentminded.

Age-ist! Wait, what am I commenting on? Where’s Lola? She wouldn’t take this crap!

Being that doorways are constrictions in our paths, I theorize that our lapses of memory are caused by the “venturi effect.” Lay definition… stuff traveling at a certain speed in an enclosed corridor will increase in speed if the corridor narrows. I believe that, while our body’s speed may not be readily affected, our mental processes accelerate. With neural speeds for thinking running roughly 70 ft/sec, then getting ramped up to around 300 ft/sec, our jaunt through a doorway leaves our brain in the proverbial dust of our now-racing thoughts!!

Love it!

It has recently been discovered that doorways have embedded memory erasing chips built into them. I forget who the scientist was who discovered it.

Walking through dooways triggers memory loss. Google it!

You have to go back out to where you were before you went thru the door. Eventually you’ll remember. Been there, done that!

If you forget something try drinking some “Milk Of Amnesia”(that’s what I called it when I was a kid)

When I go down into the basement for something, LilG loads me up with items that she wants put away downstairs. I almost always finish her tasks and the reach the top step and realize that I have to go back down for my original task.
