Something we can all relate to:

Well, I clicked on the link, but then forgot why I did that! :)

Speak for yourself grandpa. Wait I am a grandpa too. OK.

The microwave gets me. Standing there not knowing which buttons to push or how long.

Damn, that hit close to home!!!!:mrgreen:

The microwave here messes up the WiFi.

This business of going into the next room and once you get there not remembering why? Bunch of us are good at dealing with it. That's a manifestation of something some have been doing for years. So...maybe aging is like getting high?

I had that problem. Then the power supply blew, I replaced the Panasonic oven with one from Sears and now everything is fine. I guess the shielding is better on some ovens than on others.

I don't have that room problem any more. If I get to a room and don't remember why, I find something to do while I'm in there. Often, it requires getting something from another room, and the cycle repeats. Eventually, I end up in the room I started in, and wind up doing what I forgot to do the first time around. If it wasn't for this process, I wouldn't get anything done around here. But then, I probably wouldn't remember it needed doing in the first place. WTF was this thread about anyway?

As opposed to even?

I had brain farts and sometimes got in trouble. Now I get away with it, I learned to call them senior moments.

"So...maybe aging is like getting high?"

Mara munchie moments are like that, not such a good way to defrost the refrigerator though.

Why do microwave ovens interfere with WiFi reception? Or do they?
