Uh oh

I'm supposed to tell my brother something for my mom, but I've forgotten what she told me. She made me repeat what she said like she might think it's important. That part I DO remember.

Can someone jog my mind or tell me a mind jogging technique?

I think I need some genko.

 

[lilboo]

Vitameatavegamin??

Can you call your Mom back-or is that too embarrassing?

 

[Serena]

I hate when that happens.

Was it something he was supposed to do? Be? Say? Plans that need to be made?

 

[browneyes]

Laurie, I think it has to do with my kids and tomorrow.

Jeannie, only my ds takes Vitameatavegamin. He says it tastes just like candy, but I don't believe him (especially with the face he makes when he says that ).

She's in bed asleep. If I call, she'll think I'm on the side of the road with a flat tire or something.

If it's on the tip of your tongue, and it sounds like it is, then slowly go through the alphabet. (trying to think of the first letter or sound of one of the MAIN words that were in your forgotten thought)

It works amazingly well for recalling names and I've used the technique for other things too.

Good luck, this really MIGHT work.

LOL, when I was growing up, no one called after 9. If someone did, it was an emergency. But most of the time my dad had to get up for work at 4am, so no one called.

 

[lilboo]

Shannon...you crack me up.

Try Erika's solution...reminds me of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels..."James Jessanmyn...!!"...maybe no one remembers..

 

[JasonLyons]

relax, get a sandwich and sit down on the toliet, it will come to you

 

[kejoda]

Shannon if you take Jason's suggestion please don't tell us.

 

[browneyes]

LOL! Jason, I would, but I'm out of ham. And I don't like bologna or pb&j.

Beccy, I won't. I'll just let you use your imagination.

Jeannie, backatcha.

Laurie, no one calls here after 9 either. I totally freak out if the phone rings. It's usually my brother asking me why I'm not on the computer so he can yell at my callwave.

Erika, I'll give that technique a try. Thanks.

 

[Serena]

Just let it go Shannon. You will remember in the morning, if not, then call her in the morning.

I don't freak over late phone calls anymore. I've had too many dingy people calling. I used to get calls for a bar downtown. I think they may have changed the number finally.

I don't freak until I hear who it's from.

 

[Laurabearz]

I always go back to where I was when the thing I need to remember happened.... like heading downstairs to get something but forgeting what it was..... so I head back to where I was when I thought of what I needed........ 90% of the time that works......

Good luck.....

 

[browneyes]

LOL! Laura, I was at work. I think the doors are locked right now.

Laurie, she'll be here at 7 tomorrow morning wondering if I talked to him. I'll remember it. I think.

 

[catsrule]

She wanted you to tell your brother all about that handsome grey cat.

 

[browneyes]

LOL, Mary Jo. My mom is terrified of any and all cats. Simba is the brave one if you compared the 2 of them.

She reminded me of what I forgot. I remembered 2 things. But not the biggy. I was supposed to yell at him for NOT telling our other brother we had to move up our Christmas dinner date. We were gonna have it on the 24th, but we're doing it on the 22nd instead. It was my brother's job to inform the other brother. Oh well. I'll just let her yell at him instead.

 

[lilboo]

YESSSSS!!!

I was wondering how this would turn out...well, all's well that ends well...I hope everyone made it to the dinner.

 

[browneyes]

Jeannie, we all made it there and had a peaceful dinner (for a change ).
