The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 11, 2021

Wise lady.

Because you are always close to the fridge…..

Sticky notes don’t get lost or forgotten after reading them.

Sometimes old school is the best!

Can you help that she’s such a luddite, Brutus? ;D

I’ll take sticky notes over texts every time.

I use sticky notes for reminders to myself. They have reduced how often I would speak out loud to not forget something. So cut back on the number of times I’d get caught talking to myself. It does get lonely though, I miss having the conversations.

More effort = more love

And I still write my grocery list on paper, too.

Sticky texts would just mess up her phone.

When my mother was young, refrigerators were modern technology. Sticky notes were the stuff of science fiction.

Easy enough, write on note, attach to fridge, take a picture with phone, send picture to Brutus, discard sticky note. Problem solved. If not already out there they need to come up with a virtual refrigerator for just this purpose.

sometimes you can’t beat the classical way of doing things.

There’s no doubt of the message’s source, Brutus.

Not everyone pays attention to texts or emails, let alone respond to them promptly, as I have learned. And by that “not everyone” I include my wife who often leaves her phone at home when she goes out! Actually I wish I could do that without getting OCD about it!

I can always depend on Gladys!

That personal touch shows she cares. Also, she has no idea for what else to do with those sticky notes…..

Works for me. But I leave myself sticky notes, just to remember things I am supposed to do. Even then sometimes I put down the wrong day.

I’m getting forgetful, so I always put important notes in my right pocket, then put a note in my left pocket that says “see note in right pocket”

I think that with all the sticky fingers that touch the refrigerator door, the note doesn’t need glue.

my friend does EVERYTHING on her phone… except notes. Those she writes of slips of paper with no organization whatsoever.

Sticky notes for in home communication among family members make perfectly good sense to me, especially if you’re not interested in talking to them.

Sticky notes don’t require batteries.

On a completely different not, I hardly recognized Brutus in that yellow shirt!

Nothing wrong with sticky notes. I leave notes on index cards for my Father.

One can IGGY the phone but not the refrig Brutus. She has your number pal..

it’s hard to see my phone screen with all the sticky note reminders stuck to it…

Think of it this way: she puts effort into using a personal touch.
