Accidentally, my foot. Ol' Lloyd's had this in the planning stages for a looooong time. Now he needs a new plan.

When the in-laws were alive my father in law would walk off and lose the mother in law all the time He would lose her in European cities, Africa and South America. This only happened once before she decided that SHE would be the one to carry the money!

The motorhome reminded me of some family friends. Around 30 years ago they were traveling through Arizona in their motorhome and it was the wife's turn to drive. It was hot so the husband stripped naked back in the bedroom to take a nap.

About a half hour into his nap the wife pulls over at a gas station to fuel up. The husband wakes up in the back and being naked, just decides to crack the rear facing door to see where they were. Right at that moment the wife hit the gas and pulled away, leaving her stunned husband scrapped up and naked in the gas station parking lot.

The troopers pulled her over about :20 minutes later and told her she'd jettisoned something important a little while back.

Sounds like the beginning of Alzheimer's disease and similar to what happened to my father. He and mom would be out somewhere and stop to shop (dad drove, mom didn't) and he couldn't remember how to get home or sometimes even how to start the car and get it in gear.

It was the beginning of a long and humbling experience in caring for another person for me.

State Police in Tucumcari, who were on alert for the vehicle, found it— out of fuel on a side street.

He has eaten too much prion laden beef.

If I ever asked DH to drive me to Wal-Mart, he'd leave me there, too. I'm certain of it.

If I want to "lose" him for an afternoon, I just drop him off at Harbor Freight, LOL!
