It Would Something to Have This Ability

People who's memory works like a database search.

Wow, I never would have imagined Marilu having such a memory! Scary she remembers what dress she wore on set over 30 years ago, and what happened in the news on any given day. You'll never get around forgetting her birthday back in 1976!

She always seemed bright. You can't have a name like that and not be bright. Maybe it's the name or maybe it's the face. Still beautiful. Remind's me of my step mom.
She was like a loop recording. She remembered everything from when she was four. Drove my dad crazy. She was his second and forth(and last)wife.
He wanted to watch animal stuff on t.v. and she wanted to recount her whole life history and there was going to be a quiz.
Actually, probably nothing like Marilu but women are wired up differently. We all store stuff in nooks and crannies.

Anything covered by 60 Minutes anywhere is suspect at best.

My wife constantly asks me why I can't remember anything. I keep telling her that she remembers my mistakes from 1982!

All are women? No guys? Like most people, I remember the highs and lows of my life in sharp detail. The rest is a blur.

The only blur I have is part of the 60's......the 70's......and the 80's.......some of the 90's......I can recall yesterday vividly!

Might be like having a sense of smell like a dog. You would probably smell a lot of things you had just as soon not.

Good point. I wonder what happens to the memories of the bad stuff, if the emotions get filed too or just the facts.

I recommend The Mind of a Mnemonist: A Little Book about a Vast Memory, by Aleksandr Luria
