- Go to The Mind Is A Funny Thing (Not Funny HA HA)
If I had a pound for every time that happens to me ... all those 'brilliant' ideas, gone ! - maybe that's not entirely a bad thing? .. what if I were the only person to think they were good and everyone else thinks they're silly...

I know it is a darn nuisance , it happens to most I think as we hit the big 80.
Of course the best thing is to jot it down when it occurs, but one never thinks of that at the time.

I've had that happen, too. I've had a great idea for a blog post only to end up forgetting it. What I've got to do is just write the topic into my Smartphone. Then it would in theory come back to me.

Re: Re: TAPS /RPresta
It was something completely different than what was going on here. Maybe it will come back sometime.

This happens to me at least a couple times a day. Sometimes I'm
lucky and have with me a note pad & pen, and I can jot down a few words as a reminder. But quite often I can't remember that safe place I put those. It'll come back when you least expect it. And working that dark matter theory into your post is very interesting - you may have just put your finger on the reason behind the memory zig-zag game of tag.

TAPS - Could it have been about a) your mom watching out for you girls when
you were young; 2) matchmaking; or 3) foods you bake, like beets? I’d love to know how you pickle your beets. My mom could do that but mine never turn out right.
I’ve forgotten poetry ideas and lines to use that come to me at 2 or 3 in the morning. They seem so simple I’m certain I will remember them later. Not so. Have to write them down. The idea will come back to you.
I believe Dark Matter exists. Perhaps just not exactly how they think... Great lost.
