when you're trying to go to sleep (or when you wake up in the middle of the night).

That's usually when I get nailed with one of those memories. Basically, at a time when I'm not as good at going pfft, whatever and moving on.

There was some thing on the radio this weekend about people who have 100% recall. As is to be expected, it ain't really a good thing.

::passes coffee through the internets to Kat:: you're a good mom.

Aw thanks. It's not the pre-dawn stuff that gets me. I'm ready to sleep by 7:00. Luckily, so is Noah.

Okay, I should go check in. Bleh.

Maybe you should strive to become more forgettable.

I'm not doing it on purpose! I don't consider myself all that memorable!

> Last night I was in a grocery store and all of a sudden a memory comes up of something really embarrassing I did like two decades ago just pops up and makes me feel like retreating to a cave. Why does my brain sometimes plot against me?

As bad as this is, it's so much better than when this happens when you're trying to go to sleep (or when you wake up in the middle of the night).

I agree.

And I am still kinda laughing at the woman who failed the class, so Dana, I guess I should feel a little bad too.

Jars- My uncle is still mocking me for making my lower case t's too short when I was first learning to write cursive. I am now 34. Apparantly he teased me at the time and I cried, and he has been making fun of me now for the past 25 or so years!. So sometimes I think people just like to mock, and will find something!

Edited to make Emily look crazy!

My uncle is still mocking me for making my lover case t's too short

I spent quite a while trying to figure out what Sophia made her lover do, and thinking about what an open family she had.

I really like it when typos change the meaning of a sentence. It makes it more fun.

(ETA quote just in case she tries to make me look crazy. Crazy, I tell you, CRAZY! Ahahahahaaaa.... er.)

Basically, at a time when I'm not as good at going pfft, whatever and moving on.

I have to practice this. Some asshole in a lexus was merging onto the freeway and didn't understand that merging does not mean you try to occupy a space that a car is already filling. It caused a brief minute of road rage and I flipped him off. He proceeded to pull up next to me, slow down, honk his horn, and return the gesture.

I had to forcibly remind myself of the Whatever Principle, lest I call 911 and report him (license plate 5SFY799) as a drunk driver.

Anyway, you probably don't need me to say this, but I think it's super cool that your mom breastfed you for that long.

I know! It's (possibly) made me smart and grow tall and stuff! Plus, if you wanna tease anyone, tease my mom, you know? Not that she deserves it either, but at lest she deserves it a wee bit more than me.

I realise I should have gotten over it by now, but it comes up at every family gathering, ever.

It's crazy how easy it is to retain an embarassing memory. I remember my aunts and uncles teasing me after I'd accidently was wearing tow pairs of panties once when I was 5! (I guess I was extra sleepy when I was getting dressed that morning.)

Fortunately, they don't still tease me about it.

Proof that I'm not all about the icky links: [link]

Sometimes Ellie likes to wear two pairs of panties because she can't decide which pair she wants to wear.

All these uncles sound sort of mean.
