Pickles by Brian Crane for April 10, 2024

The 1996 calendar is identical to this year’s calendar, so Opal might have that one up.

Andre Dawson?

The Chinese calendar?

I did this yesterday. Someone said it was 2024 and I said, “No it’s not! It’s 19-…uhhhhh, wait. Uh-oh.”

Sometimes I wish it was 19 something!

Time goes faster when you age Earl, hard to believe it is April already!

Mini stroke – go to the hospital. I had one that last 1.5 hours, no slurred speak or sagging face. Totally lost all memory, the biggest thing was the time of day and the calendar year. I went into the shower at 8 AM then at 9:45 AM I was like it’s 9:45 we need to be somewhere and I was not dressed. My wife and I drove to the house, I had no problems with that. Everything was normal, my MRI showed normal blood, no sign of a stroke or stroke damage, but I had 5 holes in my brain, LOL, apparently that is normal, you can have 1 hole per decade of age, and the doctors are not concerned.

My sons still laugh about the time we were at K-Mart – around 1993 – and I wrote a check and dated it 1979. I cannot explain such a misfire. They knew then that dad was losing it.

The calendar on my wall is almost always at least one month behind.

I have a weather station monitor in my room that I use for the date. I have a day clock for the day.

Ageism

Sunday night, I woke up, and realized it was Wednesday, and I hadn’t taken the trash dumpsters out to the street. Given about 30 seconds, I figure it out, but it happens a lot.

Earl having a major senior moment.

It’s an election year that’s all Earl needs to know

Oooooooh…….. NOT good

I just ask Alexa.

It’s 2024, Earl.

Do people still do that? Hang a calendar right on the wall, like it’s art or something?

I measure out the cereal specific to that day of the week and put it in a dedicated container. I additionally measure out a serving of a specific frozen, sliced fruit as well, put in a container and then put it in the kitchen fridge to thaw out overnight. That way I begin the day, knowing what day of the week it is. I did this when I was still working mainly to add variety to my otherwise bland breakfast. Since I retired, it helps me aware of the passage of the week days which would otherwise seem the same.

That is really funny…………….

I have problems remembering what day it is. I keep thinking today is Thursday for some reason even though my phone tells me its Wednesday

Uh, oh, dementia setting in?

They say 1996 is the new 2024.

Arizona supreme court thinks its 1860

Well, he couldn’t remember where the calendar was …

This one hits too close to home ;-)

YIKES!

this strip has the best gradation of colors.

He gets sentimental every time the Bi-Centennial rolls around.

Does anybody here know what time it is? Does anybody care? Good song by Chicago!

Both of my cars, for no reason, reset to 12:00, easy to fix but weird!

I kept writing 19…. for the first 5 years of this millennium.

Now I’m pretty much down to just putting in a 23 at the end.

Being retired, I occasionally get my days mixed up but NEVER the year. That’s just sad.

It was 1959. I was in the first grade in a one-room schoolhouse in Dresden, Missouri. I looked at a calendar on the wall and had an epiphany when I suddenly realized that the calendar didn’t just show the dates and months.
