Hmm, doesn't seem like you are speaking from personal experience, as you're still able to type.

Nope. I can't remember a four item list when I go to the grocery store, but I always remember her birthday!

I'm the same - except for her birthday, JHan 1st is easy to remember, if a pain to get a present for...
Shopping lists, on the other hand ... I use OurGroceries[^] - it's free, works via browser for PC, and directly for iOS and Android; it shares shopping lists so you can both add and remove, and it helps a lot in "get what you wanted, not what you see".
And I learned a long, long time ago: never go food shopping when drunk or high. What you get will not be what you needed, or what you wanted. or in many cases even recognisable as food...

On this new phone, you can have two versions of the same app running side by side with separate logins, data, etc. "App Twin" - I think it's meant for trolling accounts.
And there is always "Private Space" ...

Jot the 4 items down on a list - then you only need to remember one thing: The list.

the most important thing to remember in a supermarket is where the exits are.
after that it's just a matter of reminding the wife what you need.
I'm thankful my wife not only enjoys shopping but prefers the company of her like minded sisters over me when doing it ... win / win
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

My brother-in-law married my sister on her birthday.
This could be either smart, or stupid.

This could be either smart, or stupid fatal.

Well, like so many marriages, this one ended up in divorce anyway, so...
And no, it wasn't because he ever did forget either her birthday or their anniversary.
|

Our first date was on my birthday and hers is the day before my sister's.
I reckon hope stupid doesn't describe the choice. :crosses-fingers:

I remember birthdays through math associations with my own (ex: (d+m+1)/((d+m)*d+1)). I'm awful at remembering birthdays and names but at least with names I either don't need to remember it or I get reminded daily so it sticks eventually. Maybe this is why I'm not married

Got lucky: it’s 25/6. No nerd can forget that. 😀

Forgot it once.
She went out and bought a new car. Said: "look what you bought me for my birthday".
Much cheaper to remember.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

All tech geeks here....There's a thing called "calendar" and almost every phone allows you to set yearly reminders. No forgetting of birthdays ever.

Even better - add the detail to the contact info and voilà! Perpetual reminders installed.

Do food-picky children specialise in whine tasting?

Excuse me for hurling this at you, but for crying out loud! It sounds like you've spilled the beans.
Indeed, vomit I heard, young children are at a porridge for variety.

It depends on the cheese variety that you serve with the whine.

though when they ask for I scream I'll gladly offer both flavours. (over 20 years on and still no takers ??? ???)
