Re: Hello Im Erika
Ah I see, I remember stuff like, One of my friends in the 6th grade was moving, and Late last year, I found her online, and I remembered pretty much the whole day that was her last day in IL. events, what I was wearing ,what she was wearing, and what I was reading when She left, and what I said and all the small stuff.. but I don't think I could remember maps or directions like that. Once or twice I've had accidental memory lol. My sister use to live in a housing authority apartment here in town when I was a kid... Hadn't been in one for a long time.. They are all made the same way in town.. anyway A friend lives in one now, and the other day I was over there, and it just felt like I remembered being there lol.. Not just that it looked just like my sisters.. but that I had actually been in there before when I hadn't.. course I'm a little crazy but there you are. lol.

Re: Hello Im Erika
Yep pretty much the same, Id remember the small talk. I think people think I remember a lot more than I do, like they will say 'How did you remember that?' Im like errm cos I did.
I can drive around the streets of Indiana USA, I can remember Pine lake Road and all that is on it. Stuff like that. But I do have to remember to drive on the other side of the road.

Re: Hello Im Erika
I can remember the names of all the people in my class in my final year at school 44 years ago, but I can't remember the names of people I meet now. I just come right out and say, sorry I can't remember.

Re: Hello Im Erika
Yes I can remember all the people I was at school with, right from first grade believe it or not! If I look at those early photos I can name each and every one of them. But people I met about five years ago and haven't seen for ages ... nope!

Re: Hello Im Erika
Thanks Corey. See I remembered to come back.
I remember looking for my car once for ages, and then calling the police to report it stolen, it was when I put the phone down that I remember I had parked it in another car park and not my usual one. I call the police back and told them. I swear they laughed.

Re: Hello Im Erika
That happened to us in March with a hire car in Johannesburg in the late afternoon at a shopping mall. There are about 5 levels of covered parking - we'd forgotten to note the licence plate number so when we walked through the entrance door that we thought we'd used and the car wasn't there, major panic. Two hysterical old fogeys running around a parking lot panicking about lost computers, wedding clothes and so on.
Then we found it on the next level down.

Re: Hello Im Erika
Well my memory isn't as bad as I thought it was then!
Only kidding - I do know how easily that can happen.
