Mine is atrocious and getting worse everyday which occassionally bothers me. But the other day I was watching a show on TV where the character had an Eidetic memory and I started thinking ... Not such a bad thing. True, I forget where I put my post-it reminders half the time (let alone what they were reminding me of) but... sometimes a fuzzy memory isn't such a bad thing. Still, it can be bothersome.

How is your memory?

not too good these days. i forgot which PSer owes me $10 bucks.

DF, your memory must be bad. It is not that a PSer owes you $10, it is that you OWE a PSer $10, and since you can't remember who, I'll step to the front of the line.

To the original question, it depends. I have a very good memory for some things, sports stats, work data, theater lines from productions I was in ten years ago and random, useless tidbits that might be useful on Jeopardy or Millionaire, but nowhere else. On the other hand, never, ever ask me to remember an appointment, date or time--that is what a cell phone or PDA is for, right?

And then there are the things that I'm glad have been forgotten by myself and everyone else, like some of those college events . . . . . Ok, I agree that a fuzzy memory isn't always a bad thing.

Oh, I forgot the question. Oh, and where am I and why am I here? Otherwise, it is cloudy and likely to rain today.

My memory is kind of scary. I remember everything. If I see a person one time at one store, I can point them out again months later and say "oh yeah that was the lady that was looking for jogging pants in Target a few months back"

Long term memory is great
Short term not so good
Example
I can remember places and people from when I was less than two years old (my mom has verified this)

I just heard a strange beeping noise and was running around the house trying to find out what it was.
It was the broiler saying that the toast I had put in just a minute before was ready.
