My memory is like a sieve
I put it down to a lack of short term memory and as I only remember once it reaches long term memory I usually remember what I forgot on the plane or a couple of days after arriving

The last classic was my camera manual
Had just bought a flash camera with loads of settings and controls to use it manually or automatically
Yep...Forgot the manual Doh!

Forgot my only pair of boots in a room in Japan once
Arrived back in HK with only flip flops

Forgot the day I was flying home once and arrived a day late

I could go on like the story of burning passports but I better not

But I'm in one piece still so all is cool

I'd intentionally not brought this one (figured I'd lose it anyway) but I wish I had: the instruction manual for my new watch.
I'd bought a cheap plastic digital watch with an alarm in it, so that I'd remember to take my malaria tablets on time. Unfortunately somewhere along the line I bumped the wrong combination of buttons and suddenly the alarm was going off every hour... sometimes I would push the right buttons again to turn it off for a couple of days, and then it would start up again! Particularly embarrasing on the sleeper trains, could wake up a whole cabin before I worked out the right button to press..

That's too bad! I've forgotten stuff like my hairbrush loads of times, even just clothes! Lol

If there's even one thing we've forgotten, then all's normal ! If there's nothing we've forgotten and everything is meticulously planned and thought of till the last detail, then we're not human!!

How about checking to see if the passport is still valid. Had to rush down to the federal building with a mile long line. The security guard sympathized and put me to the front of the line as a VIP. The people in the line expressed other opinions. He was an art collector just like me. He specialized in protraits of US presidents. Back to the airport in a cab and out..

Stock up on spinach! Apparently, according to the latest Health magazine issue, iron improves our short term memory. So now, you have one more thing to remember prior to your trip!

freenote

spinach dose'nt work!! I eat loads of it, Evan bought some Sag seeds (Indian spinach) home from India.It is very tasty ,but dose'nt help the memory. Now were was I.

That is just what the latest "test" concluded. I am sure next week we will learn that spinach now causes cancer. off topic, I know!
