And I’m glad that you will continue to have yours. At the very least, you’re assured that no matter what happens, you’ll receive all the medical care you might need.

I have arrived and can relate to the forget something, somewhere, at some time or another, some days more frequently than others. I have always had a fear of locking myself out of the house, although reluctant to place a hidden house key outside where even I may not remember its exact hiding place. The solution instead has been to have a house key on numerous sets of keys. Those sets of keys happen to include vehicle keys, and then the spare key to my daughters' home, the keys for the bicycle cable lock and the key fob I take when going for a walk in the neighborhood and want to travel light, in my vast "key world". Perhaps it is time for a key log and hope for the best on remembering where it was left last!

Currently, I have a shipping tape gun, and a small hammer missing from my tool box. Last seen: I used the tape gun when I was preparing to mail a box item and I used the hammer to hang a picture.

And then the "X" factor is whether you trust that the insurance company will actually pay out the premium when and if you need it 10 or 20 years from now. I guess I'm betting they will.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-54821941244102165732014-04-16T12:32:37.921-04:002014-04-16T12:32:37.921-04:00Tom, have you researched the benefits of long-term...Tom, have you researched the benefits of long-term insurance?

Very frequently I will have a tool or a part in my hand, set it down to do something else, and a few minutes later am completely unable to find the tool/part again without a long search.<br /><br />At least with keys/phone/wallet I've gotten pretty disciplined about where I put them when I get home.<br /><br />The wife does keep many pairs of reading glasses stashed around the house, and frequently misplaces the car keys in the kitchen.<br /><br />All part of being "mature".

I waited for those police when my husband called back and reminded me I had taken a different airline to my work. Meaning, my car was in a different parking garage! Loads of explaining to the police. <br />That was when I decided to slow down and call him with my parking spot number. I never forget- since I told him :)<br />Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-62544799059003007242014-04-15T20:37:20.734-04:002014-04-15T20:37:20.734-04:00yeah, I'll go with that--too much stuff to re...yeah, I'll go with that--too much stuff to remember because life has become so complicated.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-57822657955977226722014-04-15T20:24:51.118-04:002014-04-15T20:24:51.118-04:00I don't think B is losing her memory.

Also I operate on the premise that as we age our hard drive is full. I mean just how much can we store. The amazing thing to me are the memory bubbles that pop up. I should write them down as they occur because almost as soon as one appears it disappears again. I had one today, but I think it has sunk into my subconscious again, whatever it was.
