Guest guest Posted January 9, 2000 Report Share Posted January 9, 2000 Just remembered about doing this & thought it might help those of us with memory problems. So as not to have to remember whether I have updated my antivirus definitions, I have taken to changing the color of my desktop whenever I do so.( say this week it is red, then the next time I change to green). I also keep a log in a notebook. Having the memory problems I do, I have to make use of as many helpers as I can. Learned to make lists of stuff for me to do. The only problem is to make sure the list does not then get covered up. Then I will forget to do it. One of my favorite acronyms is PIA. Pain in the ***. Or PIB for pain in the butt. whichever you prefer. I read most likely here about painting coins with lime green nail polish, which I think is a great idea. After searching & finding lime green nail polish, I started to mark my coins. But there are too many. So I only marked my quarters & dimes. Then I got to thinking that dime rhymes with lyme, so in the future I may only mark the dimes. My spouse when I explained what I was doing, thought I was talking about limies,(people from GB) Had to explain to him what I meant. PIA.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2000 Report Share Posted January 10, 2000 Hi Sue, Those are great ideas, I should try that myself, as my memory is very poor of late...to the point of scaring me to death. I have to chuckle at your spouse catching you painting your dimes.....I will let you know if I come across any.
