Yikes. That's a little too much reality for kids that age, if you ask me, although I used to perform magic shows periodically for a school that was solely for homeless children. While their families were living in shelters, the kids would come for classes. They were from kindergarten age through high school. It used to break my heart, but also amaze me at how happy and resilient many of them seemed.
Back to frivolity. . .
I've learned through the years that many bankers have developed some humorous ways of organizing or remembering important things.
For example, one banker at a seminar told me that the way he remembers what the different colored flags put on safe deposit boxes mean is as follows:
Red = dead
white = hold tight (court order or something similar in place)
green = clean (not rented)
Wish I could remember the rest. How about you? What clever coping mechanisms or memory joggers do you use or have you heard of?

I'm sorry about this post, but I'm bored. I need to read state banking law and do not want to get started!

MB, here's another flag color for you:
Black= Stand back (read the thread where the original poster was afraid there were explosives in the box...)

I put my keys in the refrigerator. It's an over-50 thing.
LOL  I once opened the refrigerator of a friend and saw a Time magazine on the shelf. Wonder what was up with that?
I'll tell my husband about the keys in the refrigerator. Ought to save up several hours a month that we're currently spending on the "Where are my keys game?".

Heck, I'm not even close to 50 (almost 42) and I'll walk into a room and have to stop and think why I went in there.

My old boss use to say he knew he was old the day he realized he could hide his own Easter eggs and enjoy hunting them!

Is that kind of like checking several times to make sure you turned off the iron or the alarm clock?

When you're a kid and you can't concentrate. You forget why you went in a room or where you put your book, keys, etc..... They call it Attention Deficit Disorder - A.D.D. As you get older they call it Alzheimer’s. Go figure....

The worst is when your spouse knows that your memory fades (especially when your spouse is younger than you). Any conversation that begins with "I already told you I was doing that..." ends with "Whose memory are we going to believe..."!

I personally hate it when I have to repeat myself 5 times, 5 different ways, still not to be heard...only to find out that Sports Center is on!

Does he plan his own surprise parties, too?

Yeah, but the difference is that you are actually the one watching Sportscenter!

My 47th is next week. Last Sept I made the mistake of having a physical (never had one before...but now that I'm older, thought it might be a good idea) WRONG! Nothing has gone right since. Now have to take once a week Actonel for osteoporosis. To remind myself to take it, the night before I put a glass of water beside my bed. Last night, just as I was dozing off, I heard this lapping noise. To my dismay, my 12lb Siamese cat was helping himself to a drink. How many other times has he done this?  Yuk! I may now have a cat disease and don't know it yet.

They say a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's. I wonder if the same is true for cats.

I'd say no on the cats since cat bites can be horribly nasty and even require surgery. Of course I love my two.

When I consider my dog's choice of cuisine, I don't see how this is possible.

Osteoporosis is serious stuff. My grandmother had it, and I can't tell you how many broken bones she had over the years, before a hip break was the beginning of the end. She was 93 when we lost her 9/24/01. Believe me, you don't want to end up like she did, having to wear a body brace just to hold herself up. It was sad watching her physical condition deteriorate, while her mind was still sharp as a tack. 
On to a lighter side, I often find myself going from one room to another in our house and can't remember why or what I was looking for, and am only 42 (young these days). My husband laughs, but then will ask me where he left something, like I'm supposed to know where everything is in our house, when I never even touched it.
