Default My wife thinks I am getting forgetful
She wanted me to go to the store and pick up a few things yesterday.
I took my Vette as usual and went to the store farthest away so I could enjoy the drive. It was a cool day (mid 60's) and the car was running great. I forgot a few key items she needed and she promptly sent me back to the store.

Anyone else make up reasons to go for a drive?? Are you as forgetful as I am?

Your wife should pin the grocery list to your shirt. Problem solved.

Roger, I am like you in that regard.

Ooops, you mean I forgot something? Rats, I will be back in awhile. It is a good way to get out of having to do other things to.

Lori, it may be out, but I don't think my wife has figured it out yet.

I'm way beyond that. I'm still driving mine on a daily basis, even if I have NOWHERE to go!

Forgetful? Ask me about my A.D.D. or pie or my cat. Bacon is ready. I have a blue watch. Do you like TV. I saw rock. Hi.

Are you sure your forgetting on purpose so you can drive your Vette again, or to get away from the wife...... I had to ask.
