Re: Making the same mistakes

My repeated, ongoing, drive-myself-bananas, moronic mistake is getting up from the screen or reading and unconsciously, maddeningly putting my reading glasses down in a random location.

Stupidly, vainly, and ridiculously, I refuse to wear a chain or strap to keep the glasses around my neck.

If I could divorce myself over this, I would.

Re: Making the same mistakes

One thing I discovered years ago is not to use a plastic ruler when cutting with a scalpel. I can still see the scar on my thumb and that reminds me every time since to use a metal straight edge and to tuck my thumb in.

Re: Making the same mistakes

I regularly do the maskess walk of mindlessness myself.

Hah, yes I do that too.
It's so annoying when I have to go back to the car for it.

Another thing I forgot to add, I also trip over the door step, just done it again. I've only lived here for 48 years.
