belong to a weightloss surgery support group where each post has the

person... I got spoiled by that as I am terrible at remember names

alone.. Ineed a face to go with it..>>>

Well Faith, I'm hopeless at names and faces!!! If people would only stay where

I met them, I'd stand a chance of remembering - but they have this habit of

moving around, so if I meet someone 'here' ... and then come across them

'there' ... how am I supposed to remember who they are? They even dress

differently which doesn't help either! Dad was the same - he and mum would meet

someone in the street and when they'd gone he would say to mum, " Who was that? " .

Hubby is the opposite though. Some years ago now we were at a farm clearing

sale and hubby said to a feller there, " Didn't we meet at a clearing sale at

'wherever it was', about ten years ago? " . After a short discussion it was

decided that yes, they had indeed met at that sale! Oh well, I suppose we

can't all have a photographic memory...
