I can remember EVERY room I measured, including the location of the original furniture, the type of carpet and drapes, the original accessories, etc. I remember this in great detail. I also can remember the decor and placement of furniture in my grandmother's home, my childhood homes, my first apartment, my friend's homes, etc. Somehow my brain triggers on this stuff and stores it away.
My brother-in-law read a book on how to improve one's memory, and he has used it to memorize things like everyone's license plates (in the family), the presidents and vice presidents of the United States, etc. He is interested in doing this just to see if he can.
I am fascinated by this story and your daughter's memory. Has she explained to you how she does it, or is it just something she automatically does without really knowoing how?

Good morning everyone! Chilly here
Hope everyone's set for the week ahead?
It's under $20.00..I think.
I'm seeing Red X's this morning. I wonder if anyone else is, or if it's the super dooper firewall my guru installed?
IG, even when you right-click and view image?
How was your Easter, Molly? I know it's your fav.
Oh Brother! I sure wish I could remember useful things. All the storage capacity in my brain is filled with the lyrics of late 50's and early 60's songs.
If I could just dump all those lyrics, I would have space for important stuff.
The catch to that brain game..It may cost $20.00 ,but you need Nintendo DS to play it and that costs over $100.00. Dang!
Thanks for the links, Molly...........I'm getting a blank page on the Barone piece. I listen to him because he's usually right on. In a nutshell, what did he say?
Are you in Florida..yet?
Great links, Molly; thank you!
I can see #44.
Thanks for the early start, Chair!
I'm in Illinois enjoying grandkids and spring blooms. The forsythia are just GORGEOUS!
Good morning. I was up around 3:30 for a few hours and then went back to sleep.
..especially now that my husband and I are older (& getting older by the day :)
..we'll call her & ask 'when did this or that happen' or 'where are we in this photo'....
..and she'll tell us the whole storyline....what time of year, what we wore, who said what...
...She really prides herself in this...
..Strangely enough....or not so strange....since she gave birth, she's a bit less decisive in some of her memory.
I told her not to worry....ALL moms loose memory chips after giving birth :^)
Yes.
I have to go that far? :)
