Does something like this happen to you?


I think this is weird, but I'm not sure how weird. So I'd like to hear other's people's experiences similar to this.

Every time I butter toast, I think about a vacation we took to Maine a few years ago. And it's not like I'm getting ready to make toast, and I wonder if I'm going to think about Maine. It just pops into my head out of nowhere.

I might be thinking about my job, or my family, or the eggs I'm cooking, and I pull that toast out of the toaster and spread the butter, and BAM, I'm in Acadia Park. Right out of the blue.

And no, nothing happened in Maine with toast that would've caused this.

Weird? Anyone else do this with other things?

I know what you mean. This doesn't happen every time, but a lot of the times when I brush my teeth, a random thought about a science trip I went on in the 7th grade pops into my head. I don't know why.

reply

Thanks. Good to know I'm not alone.

YOU WERE MOLESTED BY BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY?

Don't you dare make jokes about Bill Nye!

DID THE BIG RAT FROM BEAKMAN'S WORLD EXPERIMENT ON YOUR BUTT?

No one remembers that cartoon.

EVERYONE REMEMBERS BEAKMAN'S WORLD...NOT A CARTOON BTW...ALANA UBACH WAS SO HOT ON BEAKMAN'S WORLD.

reply

It's based on the comic strip "You Can with Beakman and Jax".

O...K.

Never happened to me.

Thanks.

Anytime I smell urethane skateboard wheels, I think of KISS Alive!, but that's because as a kid, I was listening to it while putting new wheels on my skateboard. It's said that smell is a strong memory stimulator.

reply

Nice. That's a long time for that memory to be associated with that.

Whenever I hear Cult Of Personality by Living Colour I remember my first car accident

reply

Was it on the radio when you crashed?

reply

Yes, I didn't have my license yet, I was 15, a drunk at a party handed me her keys and told me to move her car because somebody was leaving...I was totally sober, it was just a total mess and all my fault

reply

You were quite the hellion, weren't you?

reply

I was a nice boy but lacked impulse control and common sense...So, pretty much a typical teenager😎

reply

Does that mean I wasn't a typical teenager? I never drove before I got my license and never drank as a teen either, even though back then it was legal to drink alcohol at age 18 nextdoor in Wisconsin. I was always the designated driver for our drinking adventures there. I didn't trust anyone else not to drink if they were the designated driver. I knew I would abstain.

You are exemplary in every category😚

😳 I do try and do the right thing.
