Pickles by Brian Crane for November 13, 2018

Been there, done that.

making Earl was about to stretch his legs after sitting in the sofa for a while?

Had you told her first

She could remind you now. Lost

Opportunity.

Bahahaha!! Me also.

Oh, I HATE it when that happens!

Its also annoying…

Over the top multi-tasking for Earl. Opal next time ask him when he gets back:-)

Any more, doorways do that. Go through one, “Where was I going???”

then he has to sit down and start the whole process over again….

It’s really annoying when that happens.

Brian’s been spying on our house again.

Even more aggravating, I will sometimes need something in the basement, but when I get there, I will get sidetracked by something and forget what I was down there for. Usually, I will remember what it was when I get back upstairs. Then it is back down again, hoping that this time I will not forget. At least when it is just going into a room and forgetting what I went in there for, I don’t have to climb stairs as well.

That is so my parents !

Sounds like my Mom & Pop!

I forget. How did I get to this comic, and what was I looking for when I got here?

Scientists say this happens when you go into a room because your brain “resets” to whatever it is you normally do in that room. F’instance, I keep my shopping list on the fridge; when I want to write, say, toilet paper on the list I forget what I was doing simply because my brain skips to “kitchen stuff” when I walk through the door, and toilet paper isn’t kitchen stuff.

Don’t you hate it when someone breaks your train of non-thought?

Age does make one ponder the hereafter. You know, walk into a room and wonder what you’re here after?

Well it’s an instinct women have that when one woman gets up at a table they all get up unless she says false alarm I was just straightening my dress. She doesn’t get up but asks so she knows if she should get up.

When I was in college, one of the dorm residents said he had better go pee before he forgot.

Correction, Earl. You forgot the moment you stood up. Her question actually made you realize you already forgot.

But can’t remember why…

Sometimes, when I need to remember something, I send myself a text message, reminding me. I always have my phone with me, so it helps.

My husband also asks, but it’s so he can ask me get him something form where ever I’m going!

Even when i’m sitting, if i’m sidetracked seeing/thinking something else than what i want to remember, then try to remember what i originally wanted to remember..
