    Read an article in the 90s by a doctor proposing a name for a new disease (I forget). It revolved around the problems we have from sitting on our ass all the time. It’s so bad my doc gets excited when I answer “a few” to “How many time do you get our heart rate up in a week?”

    Reminds me of my gf’s poodle watching us the one time we had sex at her house. That dog hated my guts.

    Then her dad came home. Stuffed me in the closet while she begged him to go out and get her a cheeseburger. I climbed out the window and into her waiting trunk and made my escape. Don’t remember, but I think she dropped me off somewhere and picked me up after she got her cheeseburger.

    See my comments ITT about mnemonics. Read a book about it back in the 90s, very short. The author promised I would be able to remember the 50 US states in alphabetical order in minutes. Yeah, right. I had the first 20 down with no effort. Life changing brain hack.

    Imagine the thing you can’t forget attacking you, or a wall of $thing busting through the door as you approach. The more surreal the scene, the better you’ll remember. Neat part? You might not remember what you imagined, but your brain will kick into gear on it’s own. It’s a simpler version of a memory palace.

    I got a story. Gf and I are out partying on New Years. 2AM, bar’s closed, time to go. I can’t find her truck keys. Oh FFS. We spent two hours wandering the empty streets and parking lots in the freezing cold, her bitching non-stop at me for losing them, finally called a cab on a pay phone. While waiting at the Quickie Mart, she found the keys in her overcoat pocket. She was a bit sheepish, and that’s British understatement.

    Now for the cake’s icing! Woke up on New Year’s Day and remembered the injustice done. Sat up and bed and was about to bitch, …croak… Had the all-time worst case of strep, personal best, puked when I looked at the back of my throat in the mirror. Solid white puss, no pink in sight, with black streaks (smoking) running through it.
