I ask, "Did I tell you...?" However, it's not mindlessly that I do; my memory isn't reliable. I might have simply thought it rather than said it, or I might have told someone else, and I don't want to annoy the hearer with a retelling if I have already told them. So I follow it up with a very short subject matter. "Did I tell you that my mom was in the hospital last week?" Then I wait for their answer. Or at least I try to remember to ask. Sometimes my inner elderly woman launches into last week's news without fair warning!

QUOTE=bearisgray;7333883]"Did I tell you...?" - when I've already heard the story at least three times!

"Have a nice day" - it's better than someone saying "Have a bad day" - but I am hoping for "nice" for longer than a day.
