I was just teasing you, anyway ...

Thank you so much, Gulliver ...

that is very sweet of you to say.

P.S. It took you two minutes to read that?

That's all you treasure from your childhood, Una?

Try Lunesta, shypettite.

LOL: Clever!

I don't know whether I should be offended that I just wasted 2 minutes of my day, that I will never get back, reading a memory about nothing or laud your praises for yet another brilliantly original, and well written post!!!

LOL...even your posts about nothing are entertaining!  Well done!

MPO,
But how did the cows, lake and mountains and food make you FEEL?

Actually, Ann, I wouldn't mind forgetting much of the present, either.

That would certainly explain a lot, DarrkeThoughts.

I don't remember specifis details from childhood either.

The present matters more. You've won 6 clicks!

It was that park...
I think I was there too...we played in that hampster wheel thing and you bumped your head pretty bad...looks like you're still recovering...

That's a great philosophy, smartdog ...
I'll try to keep telling myself that ... assuming I can remember it.

Who needs memory when you've got imagination to fill in the blanks :).

Be well,

Actually, Nanaroo, it's always foremost in my memory.

posted by Mademoiselle on March 26, 2006 at 10:32 AM | link to this | reply

I remember seeing that one too, FoF!
I think.

Plus, Ariala, they're the kinds of memories that really stay with you ...
and last a lifetime.

I've actually narrowed the location down, Corbin ...
to somewhere in the continental United States.

I kinda sorta recall reading something somewhat similar, Jack ...
though I wasn't 100% sure where ... or who it was by.

M.P.O.
sounds like you had to dig deep for this one!

Gee this reminds me of
something I read somewhere one day. It was by some blogger. Maybe.

It's memories like these that touch us...yeah, right there. hahahaha

I've been to a place just like that........
only different.........

mpo,
At first I thought you post had wrung a bell, but now I'm not sure I heard it wring.

posted by Jack_Flash on March 26, 2006 at 1:22 AM | link to this | reply

mpo,

That seems like a post that I did recently.  I think I was there, but I don't remember whether I was actually there.  Then I did a post about it, but now I can't find it.  Some people commented, but I can't remember whether it was that post or another.  I'm not even sure whether I posted it, because now it seems that I was going to, but decided I better not.  And there were some spooky jungle gyms in the dark that I bumped my head on.  And some children were playing, but I could only hear them.  They were nowhere in sight.

That reminds me.  I need to take some pictures of ghost dogs in the back yard.  They keep barking at passers by.  I know they're out there; I just need to go see.  I think I better go and look right now.

Is this really serious, or have I gone nuts?

I've been to many similar locales since then, Cesium ...
but none that really rung a bell.

Actually, Prof, I think I was like twelve.

I guess I've just subconsciously blocked out the memory.

I wish I could do the same thing with my entire childhood.

Interesting
Have you gone back to that kind of setting since then? If so did it make you feel like you had come home?

Memory.

Dear Madame.. Memory starts to accumulate in our brains between 3 to 4 years of age. According to your story, I guess you were between that age. The trouble with those times is we still don't have digital cameras which makes taking photographs a bit expensive. What about if you dig your old photos and maybe you may remember that place.

cheers and regards..   Prof

Why thank you, Billy ...
some memories truly are indelibly etched in one's mind.
