Do you tend to remember details and tidbits for an extended period of time, or do you easily forget them?

I used to have a photographic memory for faces and events. If you were standing in line ahead of me in a store, I'd remember you a few years later if I saw you somewhere else. I literally used to give people the creeps, and I think I have a few people very uncomfortable. As for my old friends, I remember more about them than they do!

Actually, my memory "that way" is still awesome. It's remembering things like what I had for breakfast, or what all I wanted to pick up at the grocery store that I battle with. My short-term memory is BAD.

it depends on how important someone/something is to me. if i care about someone im pretty good... but people i worked with but did not really care for are a distant memory. I ran into one woman in a store... she kept going on and on about how we used to work together... and i didnt remember her at all!

I'm an elephant.

I do pretty well, at my age however I begin to lose memories of some events and names.

Names, I am HORRIBLE with!

I can remember whatever I need to if I put my mind to it.

It varies. Sometimes I remember the smallest details & other times I can't remember shit. Never forget a face. But I can't always remember where I remember it from.

I have occasional bouts of CRS.

My memory can be pretty bad at times.

Um....what was the question?
