Drabble by Kevin Fagan for September 18, 2023

I still have a need for notepads. I need paper notes to put in conspicuous places so I don’t forget to do/get something.

God help this ever changing world.

Our local realtor leaves fridge magnets, magnets don’t stick to our new fridge.

So, they’re selling their house and moving?

That was very helpful back in the day when phones didn’t move with their owners. It was helpful to write down many things like if the call was for someone else you could jot down who called and their message. We left lots of notes like that on our kitchen table by the phone.

I have note pads- some regular & some sticky ones- all over. I have a phone case for my phone & it has an extra slot where I keep a small pad & pen.

What’s it for? Why of course, to drum up business for the realtor!

My plain pad of notepaper sits right next to the computer… it’s faster to write something down than open a text editor sometimes.

Yes, and I use a No.2 pencil (Mirado Black Warrior to be precise). ;-)

I keep a log of what I do each day, not a journal, just things like: “Flea drops on dogs”, weight, blood pressure, Pickling class.

It’s funny to see what was generally accepted in our day is such a foreign concept now.

I used to go through the recycle box next to the mailboxes to collect the realtor notepads my neighbors threw out

I laughed out loud!

I don’t have a pad from a realtor, but an increasing number of charitable organizations send me note pads in the mail, trying to get me to donate to them. I usually keep the pad and throw the rest out.
