Many of our friends who are not Sun City residents continue to send their āmomentsā to me. Hereās one from former neighbors now living in Las Vegas, so this one gets the award for coming the farthest. Toni Gaba writes: My husband and I went to check out a local casino in Vegas. I had to go to the bathroom during our visit. We proceeded with our walk, and soon after, a stranger came up to me and pulled me to the side. He said, “Maāam, you have the toilet paper hanging from your slacks.” Now that was an embarrassing moment! From that time on, I always check myself in the mirror.
Fellow band member Cheryl Rotermund sent this one to me: This afternoon, I called the credit card company from my desk, on which is my computer with keyboard. When the automated voiceĀ of my bank asked me for the last four digits of my credit card, I, with phone at my ear, entered the digits on my computerĀ keyboard. When the automated voice again asked for the digits, I, with great indignation, told her, āI JUST ENTERED IT.” I believe the world has passed me by.
Cheryl, I believe you are officially a āgeezerette.ā
My son, Steve, asks, āIs 40 too young to start having geezer moments? I had one last night. Couldnāt figure out why Monday Night Football wasn’t on. I had to settle for Italian League Football. Yeah, soccer doesn’t cut it. Itās just not the same football. Finally, I figured out that it was Tuesday. Duh!ā
So āgeezer momentsā either run in the family, or thereās really no age restrictions. Guess which one Iām going for?
Finally, I heard on TV that certain foods help to reduce memory loss and forgetfulness. Tune in next week, as I hope by then to remember which foods were mentioned.
Thatās it for this week. Once again, please keep those āmomentsā coming. Send them to me at greengeezer9@comcast.net I look forward to hearing from you.
Sammy
