Hi Sixtyplusurfers do you think it would it be a good idea to have a Senior Moment group? we've all had them so it would be nice to hear others senior moments, at least I'd feel I'm not alone, and we might all get a good laugh.
Here's a sort of Senior Moment my late Mum had.
We were visiting mum for the weekend and I forgot to take my wipes to remove my make up.

Stan had his leg amputated yesterday, no news as yet on his condition. The breeder that Stan came from had to part with five dogs, so my son is taking on Stan's sister, Stan visits his sister often and they really like each other so hopefully the little sister will help Stan recover better.

Hi ... am so sorry for a slow response I have only just found your message! Am sorry to hear of your back problems and hope that the Tens machine is of some help. I am presently working in the gym to strengthen my core to help with my back and I must admit I am feeling a lot better all round.
Wishing you all the very best.
