Do You Have A Good Memory Or Do You Make Lists

[Kitties]

I generally don't make lists for my weekly shopping which is usually done at Trader Joe's.

If I need to make a Walmart run or a stock up run to another store, I'll usually have a list.

Also at work, I keep track of my shift by keeping things written down, color coded and an "X" through when completed.

I don't trust my memory for much. Never have.

I usually make a grocery list, especially if I'm going to make the dreaded Wal-Mart trip. Otherwise I don't really make lists. I keep appointments on my kitchen calendar.

Me, I make list about my list and sometimes post them on my calendar. I sometimes use my phone as a reminder as well, but, that's not been working out all that well for somethings lately, as I just tune the phone alarm sound out. :turnaround:

I've made lists from childhood to my old age. The only phone number I remember is my own and I have to look up passwords when I get on the computer. Thank goodness I do remember my Social Security Number. I show appointments on a calendar right next to my computer. Besides numbers, I think my memory in general is OK but to be sure, I work a crossword and watch Jeopardy every day.

What were we talking about?

The four signs of getting old:
1. You start to forget things.
2. I can't remember what #2 was supposed to be.
3. You start to repeat yourself.
4. You start to repeat yourself.

I can't remember numbers. I mean, REALLY I can't remember numbers. I know my own phone number. I know my SS#. That's about it. I just gave up on it.

The biggest lie I tell myself is... "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."

I make a list. Use to swear by them. Now it seems I forget the list.

I have a very good memory but I also use shopping lists.

 

[Davey Jones]

I always make a list before shopping then later I forgot where that damn list is.
I now put it all on the memo section of my cell phone,trouble with that is I have to call my own phone to see where I left it.

Although I have a pretty good memory, I do make out grocery lists especially when I shop for both myself and my mother at the same time. This is especially important as she gets food stamps and I pay cash for mine.

I wished the same thing for my Beagle, Pikey. His first question would be, "Why, in God's name, does it take you so long to get dressed when I'm ready for our daily walk?"
