The number of posts on the BB as I logged on just now is the same as the last 4 digits of my cousins phone number. Also...my check cashing card number at the grocery store here in town is the same 4 digit number as the extension of one of the folks at Gregory that I ordered from. My phone number in 1951 was 2576....this one means absolutely nothing,still I remember it.I wish I could forget it once and for all...this would clear up some memory space for me and I could put some newer worthless jibberish in there in its place. I guess all this puts a whole new paint job on things? Happy Holidays to all!

Gee Michael, that's a surefire indication of "years of experience". The fact you have a whole bunch of inconsequential rubbish stashed away in your skull. I know, I'm beginning to get the same way too. If only you could just delete all the stuff you THINK you'll never use, like temporary internet files, your brain would probably operate that much more efficiently.Then rookies could go around saying " He's forgotten more about the sign business than I've learned so far."
Sadly, like everyone else, we'll probably retain most of that needless information, and babble on about it when we get old & senile.

Maybe you should try some new kind of RAM......such as ramming your head against a wall, this would clear some space or at least render that space inactive !

Everything that occurs in this life has something to do with numbers.think about it...I was born on the eighth month and the fifteenth day in 1942. It's inescapable.

When I was in the Navy I had a combination lock on my locker, and getting up in the middle of the night to stand a watch I had all these number combos running through my sleepy head - SS#, military serial #, old locker combos from school and bicycle locks, old phone numbers - it was tough getting the thing open. For a while my bowling average, weight and I.Q. were all the same. I don't bowl anymore but my we......well, let's just say ONE of those other scores has 'improved' (at least gone way up)

I also remember the serial number from my rifle in the military, yet forget the birthdays of loved ones. Does this disproved the addage "You remember that which is important to you?"

Three times to the right around the B, two times left to D-E, straight down to F. My fathers' P.O. Box combination since the 1950's. And the smell of that old post office...mmmmmm. Useless now, but never forgotten.

Yup Yup Yup! I still remember my old phone numbers, and locker combos from when I was very young. They are always dancing around in my brain. Actually I buy and sell my vehicles,and homes according to the numbers on them sometimes. Too much to 'splain' here.....but it is a system that seems to work for me. It has something to do with 'being in touch with ones inner self'.

I wish that I was as numerate as youse. If I were maybe I could be a signwriter. If any of you win the lottery then you will have to give half to Joey. If Joey doesn't want it then I will accept his half .... oh alright then at least send me some decent brushes!....hey....

Actually, failing memory is not a result of excess data in our brains. Memory is not dependant on 'hardspace' at all. It has to do with synaptic connections, which are thought to be potentially limitless. Biochemist Isaac Asimov claims that the brain can handle a load of memory and learning of more than a billion times what we put into it in a lifetime of 70 or 80 years.

Combination numbers...where in Hell did all these KEYS come from? Huh?
I've got TWO BOXES of mystery keys...they don't seem to fit anything I own and I'm afraid to throw them out -- 'cause THAT's when I'll find out what they did fit...
