Senior Moment(s) are actually the subject.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And Yes! Oh Yes! A Senior Moment<\/span> has its very own formal Texting Abbreviation .. SM<\/span>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Now I have finally arrived where I am heading!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Do we need yet another Senior Moment Category ?? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

S Senior Moment? Which would be a..<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

S<\/span>tupid S<\/span>enior M<\/span>oment !<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

You decide!!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Here we go.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Below is a close up photo of one of our two Community Trash Dumpsters.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Notice (above and below) that the left and the right lids to the dumpster are separate and cleanly independent from each other.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No the lids are NOT heavy IF you are younger than maybe 70 years of age.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Youngsters just lift one lid with one hand, hold the (heavy) lid open and with the other hand (one piece at a time) throw trash into the dumpster.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I.. Can. Not.. Accomplish the above. Hold the (heavy) lid open with one hand and toss trash in with the other hand!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I have a very special piece of a tree branch that I modified and use to hold the Dumpster lid open.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Its bottom has a nice notch that securely fits into the Dumpsters front edge.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below my Dumpster tool is in use.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the lid wide open, one piece (individual bags of trash) at a time I toss them into the Dumpster.<\/span><\/p>\n

The above procedure is IN A PERFECT WORLD!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Not too often, maybe twice a month, the edge of left lid is on top of the right lid and securely holding the right lid down.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep in mind this procedure has been challenging me for (not years) but Decades. As I am getting older even more so!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So I lift the (heavy) left lid up and “wrestle” the left lid back to the left so it is NOT holding down the right lid.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Am I Stupid or AM I STUPID !!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Think about it a bit. Then continue down to Part 2 of this 2 Part Post.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Do I need a new Category??\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

S Senior Moment? Which would be a..<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

S<\/span>tupid S<\/span>enior M<\/span>oment !<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
