Oh, and I almost forgot: if, in ancient Greece, you wanted to pay a woman a compliment you called her 'cow-eyed'...

Interesting reflections! I too have experienced that something said in a post will evoke certain memories, and sometimes they're not at all related to what I read! Which of course demonstrates Freud's contention that the mind often 'connects' experiences at the level of the subconcious, connections that can only be made sense of through analysis...

I read this post and I started thinking myself. memories, some easy some taken out dusted off kissed and put away quickly. How sensitive and sensible you are. Blogit is always richer when you are able to be here.

Well perhaps I have told you Taps but when my mother was a small girl her dad brought home a pig's eye. He put it on the hearth and she watched it sizzle. Later on it disappeared, her little brother confessed to haven eaten the morsel.

Memories are wonderful
I was thinking last night about the old days here. When I used my other blog and we had such an active group. We had Sally, Maggie, Corbin, Joe Love was still here on earth, Timmy and so many more.
We personally witnessed one member go into a full break down, another do something quite similar, lost our beloved Joe, mourned with Corbin. Children have grown, some of us have fallen in love, some of us fallen out of love and in again. I believe my old blog is still here someplace but it's no longer a part of me so I leave that one alone and write here but the memories remain.

I love your post of your memory and I loved the different comments it got. I need to get back into my memory bank more frequently now.

I do understand what you're saying. However, dissecting a cow's eye might be one of those things that I wouldn't mind forgetting . . .

Cow eyes. I never thought of them as a possible learning tool
at least in a biology class. We got frogs, pickled in formeldahyde. We had only a few and not all of us got to hold a scalpel. I thought the class was fascinating and did a lot of drawings, magnified side view of a section of leaf, a fly. You can learn a thing or two from doing a careful ink drawing.
