Ever have one of those moments while shopping for groceries & household supplies when you can't recall if you need to buy a particular item or not, so you do because, hey, if you're out of stock at home you're in trouble, and if you're not, well, it'll get used eventually.

Ever have that happen twice in one week on the same item? While shopping at a bulk supplies store?

I'm now the proud owner of 60 rolls of paper towels.

Doh.

Memo to self: no paper towel purchases until, oh, 2008 or so.

What's even worse is when you go to the store for a specific item, and can't remember exactly what you needed when you get there.

Early onset of Alzheimers, I guess.

That was me, sorry. Thought I was logged in.

My mother and I used to (inadvertently) play a little game. She'd drive into town to go shopping, forgetting her carefully crafted shopping list at home. I'd guess which items she would remember and which ones she'd forget. I always had an 80% hit rate, with occasional jumps to 100%.

Sorry, what were we just talking about?
