Senior Moments
I know... I know... we ALL have them, or have had them, and will have them if you be so blessed to live long enough. Long enough?... well, it is said "Senior Moments" start around the age of 40, and continues as part of the aging process. And we ALL are going forward in age, not backward.The definition of "senior moments" is said to be, "an instance of momentary forgetfulness or confusion that is attributed to the aging process."
The truth about senior moments is, that it is a nonmedical term for mental glitches related to early signs of alzheimers and dementia disease, and it can be rather scary for some who experience them. Of course, we all have laughed when we've experienced those moments of not remembering where we placed this or that, or why for what reason we went into the kitchen or bathroom. We have also laughed at others who have done some funny and silly stuff during one of their "senior moments".
About two months back, I had purchased a large container of liquid dish detergent, and when I got ready to use it, I couldn't for the life of me find where I had placed it. I thought maybe I left it at the store check-out counter, so I called, and was told to bring back my receipt and they would replace it for me. But I was determined not to give up just yet, because I knew in the back of my mind, I had brought it home. But because I needed to use the detergent two days later, I ran out and got another one. Three days passed, after I had purchased a new bottle, I made a spill and had to clean it up... low-and behold!!]/b]... there was the detergent right in the fruit tray in the fridge where I had been going in and out of, for almost a week unnoticed. I was so out-done I could only scream out in laughter at myself, and called my friend and together we had a good laugh

Yeah! I heard about those moments! And I hope that it never happens to me. I think the ones that, has those moments! Should just make a list to help them to remember thingd
I forgot the S. on the word things. And put a d......
Sorry! I forgot....
Just think making a list, only to forget where you placed the list, or forget to read'the list.
I had a friend who had another friend and me helping her to find her eye glasses'for about '5"minutes, she could not figure where she had put them after doing some writing... then I happened to notice she was wearing them...'what a scream
Yes, Ken, it depends on how serious it is... but at your age I'm sure you have experienced those senior moment memory gliches as well.
I haven't worked for 6 yrs now, MS, and have noticed I have no eating , sleeping schedules, or routines and have cleared my thoughts of a lot of needless information, maybe I went too far, my seniors moments seem to come in bunches,
I've had them all my life! As a kid I could put things down and go back to where I thought they were, maybe 1 minute later, and I wouldn't be able to find them.
They haven't gotten worse with age. They've gotten more hilarious!!! I wonder how in tarnation I can lose things ALL the time.
I remember one instance. I was engaged fiercely in a hot political debate with friends. Almost everybody was against my viewpoint barring one. I ignited my cigarette from the filter side and threw it but by then 3/4th of filter smoke was inhaled.
One another when struggling hard with a file format. It was half day gone without any success. In between I was searching for pen to note down the information collected regarding that issue. My daughter came to help and asked what I was looking for. Irritated as I was, I cried, "It is you miscreants who take away my pen and paper. I don't find my pen anywhere though I bought a dozen". But pops, the pen is in your hand. She laughed and me embarrassed.
It could of course be aliens.
ED, you said it...HILARIOUS!... some of those senior moments are very hilarious especially, when you snap back into your right mind, and realize what has taken place.
Elself, too funny... yes, of course, it all sounds familiar
Iotaoo, OH, NO, NOT YOU TOO?...
Vivan, I think you have the answer for everyone who experiences these senior moments, even the doctors couldn't have come up with this diagnoses or reason...lol.. yes, ALIENS!
Thanks guys for all your comments. just remember, some of us chuckled, and laughed at our parents, (I admit I did) when they were aging and did something totally off the hook...now its our term, and the payback is even the more laughable.
