Tips for those of us getting older:

[panader0]

1. When you go to the store, try to park in the same place. It saves time finding your car.
2. and 3.-I had a couple more but I'll post them as soon as I remember them.
Anyone have any suggestions?

1. Suggestion: some kind of filing system for remembering all us been friendly with one another nt

5. I park very far away in parking lots, so my car always stands out

6. I'll keep my eye out for it.

7. And when you go to the store,

and you go by yourself, try to remember you drove yourself there, so that when you’re done shopping you don’t get into the passenger seat of your vehicle and wait for your husband.

11. make sure it's your car too...

I met a very nice elderly lady that way one day.
She was sooo embarrassed.Bless her heart.

12. I opened up the door of a car that looked just like mine.

But when I saw the baby carrier in the back seat, I realized I made a mistake. It's a good thing no one saw me as they would have thought I was stealing the car.

15. the way my luck goes

there would have been a sleepy pit bill waking up and getting busy on me or a hysterical woman with huge lungs yelling for help,lol.

16. Same thing happened to me at the doctor's office

The car was the same make and the same color, then I noticed the soda in the cup holder. I got out of there pretty quickly, too!

9. OK I've told this one before...I think (!)

Four women have been meeting every Wednesday afternoon for bridge for over fifty years. One day, one lady leans over to another and says "My dear, this is terribly embarrassing, but will you please remind me what your name is?"

There is a long pause, and the second lady asks "...How soon do you need to know?"

10. Well, they say the memory is the second thing to go...

I forgot what the first one was.

13. Make a list. You will never be able to find it but:

Maybe tomorrow you will. If you don't get all the things done on your list, make a new list. You'll lose that one too.
Keeps you from getting bored. Pretty soon you will have pile of lists. Throw them all away and start over.

14. I use the Notes on my phone to remind me of a lot of things

My locker number at work, and so on. It's saved me on more than one occasion.

17. the four edges of my computer are thick with post it notes so I can remember

Sometimes they lose their sticky and flutter down to the desk, but I retrieve them and use a fresh sticky to stick them back on the computer. When I can't remember something I read my post-its. Usually I find the answer. Sometimes though the sticky I need is on my other computer. I have one at home and one at work. Stickies all over them.

18. I take a cellphone photo of my car's location when I park at the airport

Just snap the nearest row/section indicator. When you come back from your flight days/weeks later, your car's location is right there in your phone.

19. Keep your mouth closed. Seriously.

I'm a geezer.
I notice other geezers walking around with their mouths open.
Like their noses don't work any more.
I don't know what causes this.
Overworked jaw muscles from years of talking?
The slack-jawed look just doesn't get it.
Make a conscious effort.
Zip it.

22. Keeping your mouth closed also prevents that occasional, accidental drooling.

Where I live the droolers are called "vavosos", which I believe is the Spanish (border Mexican) word for drooler.
When someone calls you a vavoso, you are being dissed. Now I find it occasionally true.

Also, there is a local expression: "Con boca cerrado, no entran moscas." With a closed mouth, flies cannot enter.

20. One more thing. That 'Handicapped' tag hanging from your rearview mirror?

Gets you the 'special' parking space?
READ IT.
Quote: "REMOVE BEFORE DRIVING
People drive around with that hanging in their road view like it's some kind of badge of specialness.

"Looka meeee! I'm special!"

No, it's a badge of dumbass.
It dangerously restricts your view of the road/vehicles/pedestrians in front of you.

21. Never forget to... something, something, something...
