Pickles by Brian Crane for February 27, 2021

I never sawa a billfold that fit into a toaster. It must not have much in it.

Time to figure out online bill paying especially with this bill.

No, no — the check is in the mail!

Don’t you just loathe senior moments?

Well, I would never do anything like that. Would you?

Bill burns. Wasn’t he acting Secretary of State after Condoleezza Rice left?

I worked as a dietary aide in a long term facility for seniors. One day a week I would receive the stock and put it away. One day I had someone helping me. Usually I worked alone. To make a long story short the plain brown box that the boneless pork chops came in was pretty much identical to the box that the paper napkins came in. One day I could smell a putrid odor where the paper products were stored. Upon checking out the source of the offending smell I discovered rotten pork chops! Apparently the other aide had made a mistake and thought that the box of pork chops were paper napkins. We had a very understanding and gracious supervisor. We did not get into trouble but were cautioned to make sure it did not happen again—and it did not.

Senior moment – Like when you put your coffee cup in the microwave to heat it up, do something else while it’s nuking, and then can’t find your coffee cup.

Once, after returning from shopping, I put my cell down to put away the groceries. To make the story short, I forgot where I put my cell. Luckily, my next door neighbor was home and I was able to use his cell to “call” my cell! Boy, did I feel stupid!! After that “senior moment,” my cell now has a designated space and it stays there while I’m in the house!!

:-)

I hope Roscoe is there to catch her dropped bagel!

Opal may we put this in the next “Pluggers” ?

Now to put some butter or cream cheese on that bill…

Hot Mail.

A bagel in a Handbag – that seems “fitting”.

Blame Earl anyway !

So that’s why my breakfast tasted so insolvent!

Opal’s getting up there in years and this stuff sort of happens. For Earl’s sake, I hope she never takes a laxative and sleeping pill the same night!!

I have designated places for my reading glasses, keys and cell phone. Woe is me if I get distracted and don’t put things where they belong. I still spend a lot of time looking for something I just had in my hand a moment ago.

Uh oooh! Opal DOES screw up! More ammo for Earl….let the fun begin…

Geez, Opal, get BillPay at your bank. . .We wrote our first actual check in two years yesterday, to pay for our reroofing – - -

That’s lame.

At least this wasn’t Earl’s fault this time.

Too bad they only accept cold cash.

For a crispier bill, use the air fryer next time.

Out of the toaster I would imagine it would be “Black mail”!

He would be toast if he had done that.

For a second, I thought Earl had done it, but then I noticed how smug he was acting.

While I have my share of Senior moments, I am considered Mr. Memory in our household. My wife, 15 years my junior, is notorious forgetful about things. Her mind is usually going a million miles an hour about so much, that she’ll forget the obvious … “Where did I put my glasses?” “What else was it I was supposed to pick up at the store?” “Who was I supposed to call?” Etc. etc. etc.

It’s a running joke in the family that because she never remembers anyone’s birthday or anniversary, she married me to remind her. I even put a tickler calendar on her phone but she forgets to check it.

No…… HaHa!!

Just mail them the bagel. I’m sure they will understand.

Ack? is this a Cathy strip?

a true senior moment

A WHOPPING LOL!!! Gotta wipe up the coffee on ghe kitchen table now.

Does a toaster get up to 451 degrees Fahrenheit? That’s what you need to make paper burn.

Time to bill pay online.

I once found my phone in the freezer. Only once, mind you. I live alone.

By now you’d think China would include a chip to analyze ingredients and announce an error in grammatically perfect Midwest U.S.A. English.

The old lady must be getting alzheimers

Earl is going to pay big time for that!

OOF!
