    Great job! I understand why we need passwords, but mine are on my computer.😉

    Funny now!!! I'm sure it wasn't then!!! Fantastic Senryu!!!

  • You were having a computer problem--the processor in your head wouldn't allow you to access the processor on your desk.

    This is why I have a "super secret" spreadsheet. I have way too many to keep track of. Good one, Cathy!

    It's so relatable. I consider myself to be quite a thinker...quite intelligent...but anything involving numbers and I get all effing muddled up lol! This was an excellent piece, Cathy! Loved it. "computer problems" indeed!

  • There's just too many things that require a password these days! Ugh! But I love how you kept telling people you had computer problems 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    This is so relatable. I thought this was going to be a story for a made up word challenge. I have a black book for all my code

  • I once had to call my son and ask him for the 4 digit pin code for my debit card when I was trying to fill my gas tank... the same code I have had forever... Sometimes, the brain just does a dump. ROFL. Great job on the Senryu

  • Omg 😱 yes 👍

    I can never remember my wife’s phone number. Brain freeze!

    That is the essence of a pretty awkward moment, and I think we've all done some version of that. Nice work.

  • Stress takes its toll! 😢
