    On a similar note, ever go into the grocery store for a "few" things, and therefore skip the little hand-held baskets (don't even mention a cart!), but find yourself doing a juggling/balancing act as you plod towards the checkout line, wishing that you had indeed actually grabbed the little basket? I do it ALL the time.

    Yeah, but in my case it's because I go in for one little thing then...

    *DING*[text as I'm headed for checkout]"Hey, pick up X, Y and Z" (of course, all back all the way across the store)
    I have everything and am next in checkout line and...
    *DING*"I need A, B and C too"
    Okay, here we go again... these are hidden in hard to find places... I get halfway through the list
    *DING*"I need P, Q and R too. And what's taking you so long? Hurry up, I haven't got all day!"

    The things we do for our parents as they approach senior-citizen status...

    It usually happens because I go to the store to buy some TP and by the time I get to the back of the stores I get 15 texts from my wife to pick up more items. So instead of going back up front to get a cart I just try to carry everything. Because, you know, it is easier that way.

    One plastic bag on each finger? You can put at least 5-10 on your forearms and then grab a bunch with your hands to prevent the ones on your forearms from sliding off. Gotta stay balanced though. The limit is your walking weight - thats it.

    I wish for me cant reach the garage door button without leaning out

    BUT what happens to me on the door handles they are those sideways lever types and when I push it with overloaded bags is one ALWAYS slips off and gets caught then I have to wrestle it off AND it has this stupid curl thing at the end that is a pain with one hand to release the bag from
