So far I haven't found shoes in the fridge. If you're aware you're doing daft things you're OK, the day you think everything is fine is the problem!

	Scozz, This should ease your pain.... Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale." It's not aging, it's the door!
