Anyone know who Courtney is? I have been carrying her phone # around in the visor of my car. Neither my DH or I even know a Courtney or who put it there. :?:

I do this tooo!! LOL!!

I don't feel so alone. ; )

Lucky you... You actually FOUND the note.

MrsM , I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does this. I've sometimes been worried about myself.

No I didn't. I think it might be related to this board though. I wrote it on note paper from work. I tend to peek at the board at lunch time :wink:

Yes I think that is it. Thank you so much!!!

I'm trying to figure out why you wash the grass?????????

It was amazing how many strange notes I found "on top" of the old refrigerator when we bought our new one! And the middle drawer of the desk in the office?? Oh,my! DH writes all his notes and lists on 3" x 5" cards and carries them in his shirt pocket until he takes off his shirt. Then he leaves them in odd places. Guess we are completely "noterized"!

I hate it when I do that! :oops:

Glad I won't be alone in that home for the mindless!!! But will I know it?

MmmHmm. Actually, I found a part of a quilt top last week, sewed together in the strangest shape. I barely remember piecing the blocks and have no idea what I had in mind piecing them together in a big hexagon. It's amazing, isn't it, the stuff that goes on in your mind?

I do this all the time, too! Glad to know I'm not alone:-)

Welcome to my world! HaHa ... I find pieces of paper by my favorite chair with notes or telephone numbers and I don't have a clue what it was about.

Hmmmm - I do believe we need a larger boat as so many of us appear to be in the same one...

I used to be a to-do list-maker - you know those papers found here and there with bullets,stars, or numbers by each item. Now, I find I need to write paragraphs in hopes that it will be enough information for me to read later and figure out what I was going to do, or why I needed what ever. As it has been said before - getting old isn't for sissies!

No, but I'm still finding things I had bought for one of my kids when they were young, that I had hidden in dresser drawers or in the closet when I clean them out. The bad thing is that they are now 31,28 & 26. I give them to them anyway & we all have a laugh.

I don't know why Irishrose does it, but dish soap is a soil conditioner and helps the grass use the water in the soil.

I'm ROFL at our antics with notes. I have a pile of notes by my desk with block size calcultions, quilt size calculations, etc. But for what quilt/quilts I have no idea. Usually I calculate all this for a new project. Go to start the project and can't find the calculations so have to do them all over again.



I know a Courtney. Does the number have a 605 area code??

Sounds like you were going to make a T-shirt quilt.

I usually loose my grocery list at the grocery and come home with out the most important thing.

Oh that's too funny. I have bought stuff to cook with like this crazy plum stuff I have no idea why or what I was g oing to make. I clean the cabinet -it oes back in there just in case I find a recipe that calls for it. How many years? I'm not telling. LOL

Irish Rose, I just want to know why you wash your grass!! I don't have the problem of writing notes that I don't remember the meaning. I write notes and can't find the notes. I don't know where those things go! Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

that's me I do like to call those # with no names. It can be fun.

Oh my gosh - we all belong to the same club. Been there and done that! Too cute.

Yes, I am like you with my notes to self that were perfectly clear to me when I wrote them. Now....well, forget it. I have no idea. I do find other notes about my sewing room however that melt my heart. You see my granddaughter was sitting on my lap sewing since she was a toddler (age 11 now) and the last couple years she has been leaving me one-liners within folds of fabric, in sewing machine drawers or any place she can slip them.

I buy ingredients for baking or else for the main part of the meal and then I can't find the recipe or what book it is in.... do it all the time.... will have to stop that as it is getting too expensive.. have three oranges in the fridge at the moment as I saw a recipe for a beautiful cake, but been through the magazines and can't find the recipe.... frustrating...

I FIND NOTES BUT THEN CAN'T READ WHAT I WROTE.

Oh no, not me, I never find those kind of notes sitting on my night stand in the morning. I only lay in bed a night dreaming of colour schemes and quilt patterns and worry if I won't remember in the AM. Auntie B from Saskatchewan.

Oh my goodness, you wash the grass? What am I missing here?

Why do you want to wash the grass? Doesn't it rain there?
....and only once a year?
J

Were you making a table topper?

Peel the oranges, slice them up, put coconut on them and serve them for dessert = saves calories!

I have written notes, and couldn't find them till later. And then you know what happens. I don't know what it's for. I think we all do that.

Thanks everyone for the tearing-up laughter you've given me this morning. I think I am with you on every account. My note-keeping is getting ridiculous, I now have piles & shoeboxes with parts of my brain (memory) in each one (labeled of course), lest I forget those AHA moments. Most of my boxes are quilt/sewing related; thanks to all my fellow quilting-enablers here! When I'm gone no one will read them, but as long as I'm here, it's just got to be that way. I am most disturbed when any of my other 4 family members decides to rearrange the papers on my desk, as I have already sorted those into priorities! I have one in college (still home, not launched yet), a senior in high school (for 3 more weeks), & one in Jr. high who's highly ambitious & keeps me on the run. Hoping it's not early Alzheimer's, but I'm not sure.

I am curious if you'd share a little of your thoughts/ reasons on washing the grass? I read a little here on home remedies for lawns & see the dish soap listed: http://www.garden-counselor-lawn-car...for-lawns.html
I don't believe I have a shoebox on that topic, yet!;-)

I find recipes my mom has written, with no name on it...no idea what we're making....most of the time, just the ingredients and measurements, not how to put together or how to bake it!!!!

I inherited my grandmothers recipes and she was a wonderful cook! Although some do have titles, so that helps, she lists the ingredients, not what to do with it. That was life experience. She grew up cooking with a wood cookstove, so no temperature controls there; she was born in 1901. Some say "medium oven", that means about 350 in her book, as we had that conversation a few times when I was a kid helping, & "hot" was later interpreted as 400. She cooked until the last year or so, & lived to about 96. My mother was just going to throw the recipes out, but my daughter has quite an interest in cooking, so will likely enjoy the prospect of the puzzle.

bio degradable soap makes water wetter, doing a better job of watering the lawn, especially if you are under water restrictions.

I have learned to put a date and quilt name or person for at the top of my planning sheets.

I date television shopping lists, too.

I have mystery numbers and people written, too. I now try to write names WITH numbers.

I once looked back at a To Do list, and discovered under "send card" category: Rhonda.

I do not know or work with a Rhonda.

I finally decided I had seen an obit or editorial that was particularly poignant. Not a person I knew, but wanted to send a card.

Yes :roll: :XD:

LMBO...This is funny ONLY because the other day I wrote my list out, went to the store and seen "taq" on the list it was in my husbands handwriting I came home with a bottle of Tequila. Got home I said what are we doing for dinner. He said Taquitos! I said we don't have any. He said I put them on the list earlier! OOPS. He told me to put it on the list and I said just write it on there he didn't know how to spell it and just abbreviated it and I forget he asked me to put them on there!

I framed 2 of my Grandmother's recipes for in my kitchen. One is signed and dated 1929. I love the ones on funeral home note paper. My Aunt gave meGram's cook book and recipes because she knew I would cherish them, Aunt Dora was right.

I wondered about that myself? Should we ALL be washing our lawns? lol !
