Anyone find you need a list to remember the list?

Hopefully the 4th time I visit the hardware store to rebuild this mailbox I will remember the list of things that helps me remember the things I need.

    I’m old enough to know I need a shopping list. I’m also old enough to forget the shopping list when I go shopping. Sometimes I can remember some of the things on the list but the next time I go shopping I DO remember the list but I forgot that I bought some of the things on the list. This is why I have a two years supply of pancake syrup.

    I was trying to lose weight and my doctor recommended I try chewing gum. So I put that on my shopping list. When I got to the store, I looked at the list and tried to FIND gum in the store. I couldn’t find any gum anywhere. My DECADES of ignoring stuff in-line at the cash register would not let me SEE the gum. Three trips to the store with gum on the list before I finally figured it out.

        I don’t have a phone.

        I use Google Voice at home on the computer. It’s FREE. For the last 8 years I have spent ZERO on phones. It’s included with my internet.

        Just think of all the money you would have if you didn’t pay for your phone.
