That will probably means several times until I finally get a grasp of it.<br />Not quite sure of the colander effect, some things that have no reason to be retained under current models, mainly because they were insignificant, are now being recalled. This is how I developed my model of everything being retained, just not retrievable because it's route is never travelled, until this disaster happened and I have to find other ways to find information and stumble upon long forgotten 'cards'.<br />Similar to the 'lift' scenario, some of my staircases have gone, sometimes I can get to a given floor, sometimes I have no access. Sometimes I find bits piled on the floor like rubble but putting them together is not the easiest of tasks and it is not for the want of trying that I have to stop as my brain literally grinds to a halt over trying to work out if those bits of information are actually relevant to what I'm looking for, let alone put them in the correct sequence.Lorraine and Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058982182982513005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745497502278856999.post-15473650426746767482012-06-15T21:43:22.117+01:002012-06-15T21:43:22.117+01:00I've taken this one paragraph at a time as it&...I've taken this one paragraph at a time as it's required thinking! I like the Ensor analogy although my memory often resembles a Kandinsky or a Pollock. Over the years I've almost given up trying to get people to understand the depth of ABI. If they get the gist and accept that this is merest fraction of what it's like I settle for that. I use two familiar experiences.<br /> <br />You're in a building with several floors beneath ground level. The lift doesn't stop at each floor any longer as the door's broken and it can't be repaired. As the lift shaft is intact you can go to a lower floor. That's tangible.<br /><br />Secondly most people have used a colander. When you use it to drain some of the contents are caught and saved and some are lost. Of the retained contents if you trip over something a proportion of these on the floor rather than plate. Well that's like my immediate memory into short term and safely into long term. <br /><br />Keep on writing you are doing a really good job. I hope it is therapeutic for you too.Musings09https://www.blogger.com/profile/14577503613612866098noreply@blogger.com
