I remember many of the paintings done by fellow students, and also the personalities of those students.<br /><br />Back then, I don't remember any of us giving titles to our paintings. Could this have been because we were females? Girls then, calling ourselves women arrived some years later. <br /><br />I still think I have a good memory, and it annoys me quite a bit when I cannot remember something, particularly something of which google has no notion.<br /><br />Best wishes.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-375372797888061572016-10-03T18:55:10.361+01:002016-10-03T18:55:10.361+01:00How nice of you to call him up after all these yea...How nice of you to call him up after all these years.

Some of the reason for that is as I've gotten older I just can't be bothered! I have never been good at remembering entire conversations -- just a snippet or two that seems relevant -- and these I will remember for years and years. I have friends that can remember anything they ever memorized -- poetry, plays, songs -- this ability has always particularly impressed me.The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-9587902547136733212016-10-03T10:57:11.313+01:002016-10-03T10:57:11.313+01:00See it for what it probably is, and in an even mor...See it for what it probably is, and in an even more flattering light: Some people make an impression.

Why? Once upon a time I was married. My husband often used to say he wished he'd "recorded" a (heated) conversation we had had - in order to play it BACK to me. At first I didn't give it much thought. Later I realized it was the first stage of "gas lighting" someone. You know, when you are beginning to doubt your own recollections? Dangerous game to play.<br /><br />Anyway, congratulations on your good memory. Just remember that others have one too. <br /><br />UAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-31213177933278514352016-10-03T10:40:39.142+01:002016-10-03T10:40:39.142+01:00My short term memory is certainly diminishing.
