3. Somebody

done wrote my life !

4. #5 gets me in trouble a lot (that's the one about writing things down, in case you forgot already)

I’ve never been a consistent writer-downer of things. I take plenty of notes where facts & figures matter, but since childhood, I’ve deluded myself about the abilities of my so-called mighty mind. I’m like at the hardware store, knowing full well that I’ll be back soon to obtain something I’ve forgotten already. I live by the list anymore. Grocery stores are the worst for entering unprepared and unreminded.

10. This is mine, too!

Lots of things around my place are mysteries because I didn’t write down what it was, where it is, who it’s for or who it’s from etc.

14. When someone in a store asks if they can help me

My reply is always
“Only if you can remember what I came in for”
It goes over most heads, but gets a few chuckles.

16. I make shopping lists and then realize when I get to the

grocery store that I forgot the list.

Fortunately, once I have written something down, I usually (but not always) remember it. That's how I used to study for exams in high school and college.

I've learned to put the list into my purse or coat picket as soon as I write it.

5. #6 Is The Only One..

...that doesn't apply. I'm still a "leave early, take my time, get there early" type.

[Vinca]

6. OMG, so true, I've got to make a note for my husband to read this!

[multigraincracker]

7. #10 is my #1.

[Dr. T]

8. Number 4,

A tolerance problem with idiots, has political implications. One such idiot tried to tell me that nothing bad ever happened during TFG's first term.

[BComplex]

9. I needed to read this today! I'm so so fed up with idiots! I only wish I could shut up about it!

LOL! These are great!

[groundloop]

11. 11th Commandment - Never trust a fart.

Beyond that, I'm doing ok at 67 but still haven't figured out what I want to do when I grow up.

[WestMichRad]

17. Haven't figured out what I want to do when I grow up

That’s one of my guiding principles!

[Joinfortmill]

12. Love this!

[GreenWave]

13. #9 is my "love potion".

Having had many brushes with death early on, I can't stop laughing.

[BOSSHOG]

15. Excellent List My Friend. I'm 70

I carry a Daytimer with me everywhere “to write stuff Down.” I never act my age. I like the way I “acted” and danced from 68 to 72. I’m on the road everyday walking around town. I know where every public restroom is located.

Thank You for a true yet funny list.

[Faux pas]

18. Lol

[Skittles]

19. #7 really resonates with me

I constantly look at people my age (or even younger) and think, WTF, THEY LOOK SO OLD

helps that I still do not have gray hair
