I understand. Many in positions must in order to protect or other reason for benefit of others. I understand that.

I agree with you. This not good at times for it can turn to worry rather than just self checking.

I only worry about what I say because in the end I am the one who will be held accountable for what I say! I can remember what others say but not to the degree that I would bet the farm on it! LOL! sam

And I am in the habit of not listening to what people say so probably not.

Well Doc. I am sorry to say telling untruths comes natural to me. I have to put it down to

my wartime experience having to blatantly declare we have no bananas or tins of salmon etc. They were all reserved for special customers.

I usually remember what my daughter said and she claims she didnt say that

I must be honest. My memory on words exchanged or heard is not always good. So I keep in mind that listening carefully helps not selective listening/hearing.

I do remember that I used to remember very well whole conversations. Now that I have earned a certain age for myself I am doing very well to remember if I said anything andto whom it was when.

I have, or should I say I had a good memory, but a small stroke took much of that away, good thing I have a good wife to remind of the things I know.

I am like that too. Idle chatter is a challenge to me.

Most in life are like you. It is very good in a partnership, on get big picture and other get details. It does not work when used against own.

Good point but it is unequal with me. I do not like to over load my brain so I just do not pay attention to all words.

I agree with that philosophy. I actually use it and did not think of it in exact word.

DO YOU REMEMBER

Kabu has taken the words right out of my mouth! lol

posted by MsJudy on June 22, 2013 at 7:25 PM | link to this | reply

I believe that I remember what I say but as I get older I am not so sure

these days. It is just that old short term memory loss thing. I can remember from years ago but not so easy from today.

With me it's very much a matter of context and importance. When it is important and I pay attention, I can remember large stretches of back-and-forth conversations very well! But when it's just idle chatter, it's in one ear and out the other with me...

I have a very good memory...my hubby finds it amazing that I can remember so many things from when we first met over 2 years ago....

posted by Annicita on June 22, 2013 at 11:44 AM | link to this | reply

I find that I remember both what I said and what others said equally well. At times I do forget which stems from it being impossible to remember everything or to be completely focused at the time.

My philosophy on remembering is pretty much as the old Irish blessing:
"May you never forget what is worth remembering, nor ever remember what is best forgotten."
