I never forget :x, I don't really need the list, I just use it as a way to organize what I need in my mind.lists, reminders, etc etc etc.
But half the time I forget my list when I go grocery shopping.

Oh how I wish I could say that. In my teens thru my 30's I had what is called a photographic memory. Perfect.
Example: I could hear a song on the radio, and sing it verbatim afterwards. I could play the same song on my guitar from memory.
I must have over-used it. My memory is now shorter than my pinky finger.

It's so good to know I'm not the only one.

.I have photographic and phonetic, and don't really have problems with them... My short term memory is -horrible- however. I'll be walking to the bathroom, forget what I was doing, and then need to run back... On a daily basis.
The interns at work laugh at it

LOL yeah, dunno about you, but sadly I think it is a parenthood/aging thing - we have to remember so much as a parent that all our own stuff goes out the window.

...I make a list containing subjects of other lists, and then a list of details concerning the subject of the list... And sometimes a list of details concerning details of the details list.It's when you start making a list about your lists that you know you have a problem
But by god, I'm completely thorough

I think you're right. SO much changed when I had my son. And even more changed when he was diagnosed. Of course, none of it has to do with the fact that I'm getting old.

We tried white boards...til the dry erasers died on us. They're still a pretty good idea for stuff we need to do like make phone calls/appts/etc.
Shopping lists....there's an app for that.

I ended up buying WAAYYY more than I could carry, ended up struggling and really hurting my hands, hehe. But eh, wont be needing much for a while 
I like the idea of online shopping, save what you buy, for easy purchase again. Sounds so efficient
Lists, physical piece of paper in my hand is much more accessible while i'm in the store than using my phones wifi to access an online list.

I make lists on paper at the moment... a whiteboard or a /list/ on my homepage is a nice idea... much more eco-friendly

you make me laugh honestly Floris not just a lol, i can picture you saying it and actually laugh when reading your post aloud. Thank you I was frowning before this.
On the off-topic topic
I use whiteboards for quick notes like a temp password or something on the computer but a shopping item might end up on there... post it notes work until the glue dries... I'm a big fan of corkboard though.. you cut it to the size you need and frame it in some 3 inch wide pine stripes and stain or paint to your liking ( or buy one if you have a shopping list already write cork-board on) This way you can jot a note on any paper and just pin it up, rip it out when you need it.

I have a sticker on my freezer and there I write everything down what we have to buy. Without these little memos I may get lost...
