I was stopped at a light next to a landscaping truck with the mower on the trailer running!  I was thinking poor guy is gonna be out of gas when he gets to his job.
  

I guess you have more experience with the backseat. I don't think I ever utilized the backseat since the front seats folded back quite nicely, you could hold onto the backseat and look out the rear window for peeping Toms.

The skis went on top of a rack attached to the rain thingie. You took it off for the summer when incidentally the heater started to work really fine.
Come to think of it, perhaps snow tires, ski rack and ice scraper had something to do with the heater?

I hate it when I think of something to look up, then do a few other things (this morning, getting ready for work), sit down at the computer an draw a blank. 

I MUST find a way to stop doing that! Concentrate on a key word for the search or something to trigger my memory. Sigh.

I know I'm doing it more right now because my head is filled with so many things and my brain is jumping from one thing to another. iPhone learning curve (need to look up some more stuff for that!), remembering how to use our new remote for our new cable service, our upcoming trip (things I need to buy and do) and of course, work.

For many people, true ~ but my newest "quirk" is I make handwritten notes ... and then lose the notes ~

Ditto! I have sticky notes at work and at home, note pads too! I have a couple of pages of note paper with multiple notes, but no clue what they mean. lmao. A couple of phone numbers (could be important for work ya know) and then maybe a name or a notation like "heat" or "door". WTF? I KNOW what they mean when I write them down, but later.............. Eventually, I'll throw the note paper away. THEN I'll need the info.

At work, I finally hit on a good solution for notes, since we get voice mails and other calls for maintenance that we might not act on immediately. We were forgetting some of those things and I didn't have the note. I bought a 5x7 sprial notebook. I date it in the morning and start taking notes. I put stars by important stuff and circle it too. That way, I can always do a quick look back a few pages as a reminder or to find a phone number. 

Usually when I think of something I want to look up, I'm doing something else. This morning I was out on the balcony having a smoke. No pen, no paper and evidently no "virtual" memory left in my brain. That's why I need to get into the habit of focusing on a key word. That would be enough I think. 


  

And when I find the note, I can't read my own writing- not sure if it's the eyesight when I try to write it or try to read it...
  

OMG queen, Me Too! I'll start a shopping list, hubby will look at it and ask "What is that?" I try to read it...... Heck if I know. It's both with me. No glasses when writing and reading without glasses.

Grrrr.....I sleep in one of the basement rooms during the summer because it's cool down there. Last night I'm getting ready for bed and notice a big puddle on the floor. Go back upstairs to collect pet towells and give the animals the old "I dunno which one of you is to blame but if I ever find out....." and other empty threats. Go back down and start to clean up when I feel a drip on my neck. Do the ole "WTF" and look up to see the basement ceiling is about to cave in. There's a pipe leaking just above where the main line comes into the house. It's plumber time. Then reconstruction time. Crap!

Yikes jim!! Not fun. Good luck.

Here we poke a hole in the ceiling. And put a garbage can underneath to catch the water.

LOLOLOL! Then do you bitch about your water bill?

I would do that right away,though. Saves the ceiling from more damage.

I thought duct tape was the reigning "fix all" ~

Jim....I assume you apologized to the critters who were accused of wrongdoing?

roseanne....back in the day our ins. co. used these great little phone message books. The top note tore off so we could attach it to a file, pass it to someone else, etc., but it left a duplicate in the book for each one too.

Gee! Why didn't I think of that? Oh wait! I did!

Naw! I let it stand. They probably deserved it for things I hadn't caught them at. Besides, I don't think I was all that impressive. One of the cats kept yawning, while the other just sort of wandered off. Mickey, the St. Bernard, didn't bother waking-up while Chillee, the Chihuahua, did his leg climbing act to say "As long as your back upstairs, you might as well treat me." The only one who listened was Gary, the lizard, and he would just like to get out of his tank so that he could pee on something.

Bummer Chaos!

My pet peeve today is that I am still looking in the wrong place for the date of a post, seeing the join date and then wondering WTF? .

I do that too. I'm starting to get trained slowly, though.

Red light runners, people who have to pull out in front of you even if you are the last car,especially if they then slow down

People who think "No Left Turn" signs only apply to other people, especially during rush hour.

Hotmail. I cannot access my main account today. No problems indicated, it just takes me back to the sign in page. However, my alternate account on Hotmail is fine.

FYI, if anyone else ever has that problem sign into MSN home page, then go to Hotmail. It works! lol.
