OT: Enjoy

ROTFLOL! The bit about "did I leave the burners on, is my house on fire?" was particularly apt.

On a flight to Seattle, some place over Montana it hit me that I might have forgotten to unplug the coffee pot when I left at 3:30 AM. No phone or any way to contact my neighbor until I landed at Sea-Tac. sheer misery. The coffee pot was unplugged. Now when we leave the house we go around and say stove off, coffee pot unplugged, etc. Can't tell you how many times we've driven a couple of miles to return to check to see if the garage door is closed. Now we also verbalize that. I do it when I'm alone as well as with DH. sometimes the short term memory is kaput as Ursula would say.

BT, DT! Each time I leave the sewing room, I say out loud, "Iron's unplugged!" And I have also turned around at the end of the street to go back and check my garage door... :-} Once, I came home, it was down, but my nice neighbor across the street came over to tell me she had run into the garage and hit the switch. Aaaarrgghhh!

Good one. For a pair, try

We are the same way; I keep an updated list on the computer of necessary items we carry when traveling, and at the bottom is the list of things to double-check: as coffee pot, alarm system, garage door, thermostat, etc.

If you all think that is just a problem of your time of life - no, me too! ;-) (must have something to do with the little ankle biter always tugging at my shirt, yelling 'Mamaaa, do this, mamaaa do that!' But I guess you know that phenomenon, case of BT, DT) ;-)) Excellent stuff, both the female and the male version. My laugh for the day!?

Thank you just so very much for that. I was tickled with the words and genuinely delighted with the lovely voice. Polly
