Just when I've perfected a recipe for chicken soup
Remember when we used to treat the flue with prayer and gave our thanks to God, instead of [Insert controversial political ideology].
I've always despised that phrase. I avoid memories all the time, unless I'm under the influence of depression. Imho, memories are generally bad. Thankfully, none of the posts in this thread had any effect on me. I swear, people near me tend to invite bad memories whenever they mention this phrase. Well, I guess that's another thing to like about DART: it doesn't invite painful memories, even if users try to.
VACSHINE MANDATES ISH COMMUNISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only one triggering bad memories for you is you. No one here knows what your memories are, good or bad. LOL
Remember when game show hosts and filthy rich businessmen only got involved in politics on the sidelines?
Neither do I. The President thing was new, though.

Remember when you were more likely to be hurt or injured "because you wore a helmet".
Remember when, Bwhahahahahaha never mind you weren't there.
Remember when being 40 was old.
Remember when they could count votes faster and more accurately using just slips of paper and pencils.

They're largely bad. Certain phrases trigger certain memories. For example, all of your posts trigger none, except for the phrase you made in your first post. I never liked memories. But, have at it if you have interesting stuff to tell. No idea why I'm now discussing personality with a user thousands of miles away. Whatever.
Well, since I just remembered something, I might as well use this thread for my own self-gratification. My religious brother is a jerk. He really should spend time with his gold-digger GF. That would mean less time for me to be with him, which is what I've always wanted. I have absolutely no interest after our distant fall-out over apostasy and I will never ever trust him ever again. I wanted to spend as much time away from snitches like him as much as possible and yet, he's still here. What a moron.
I've always lived by one rule whenever he invades me with his presence: "don't give him time".

Fascinating, Remember when the boy scouts was for raising boys into men and not a perverted pedophile wokedy woke sanctuary.
-->
@sadolite
Oh, trust me, I know where you're coming from. Just replace that "pedophile" you mentioned with a Taliban-look-a-like person and there you have it: an exact replica of a pedophile.
Remember when conservatives just moaned about taxes and things/people being too “urban” instead of trying to undermine democracy?

@Ramshutu
Remember when people new America was a Republic and not a Democracy.
-->
@sadolite
Remember when people didn’t confuse colloquial usage of democracy with its strict definition because that’s the only objection they could make to a point talking about how someone is undermining democratic rights?
-->
@Ramshutu
Ya, I remember that. Except when people vote against something the judicial system over turns it and makes it law.

@sadolite
I Remember when people knew America was a Republic and not a Democracy.

@Ramshutu
I remember that but now its a third world Banana Republic like the Congo.

@sadolite
Remember when being 40 was old.
Sort of contradicts the underlying sentiment of your opening statement.
Remember when you Gran died from cancer because there was no other options available.
-->
@zedvictor4
I remember when my Gran died actually both, died in a car. I also remember being forty quite well, that's how old I was when my son was born. Damn its been 18 years since then. I remember when he was born you didn't have to wear a seat belt in a car and you were more likely to be injured "because" you wore a helmet while riding a bicycle. I think you are triggered Zed. Remember in that movie Pulp Fiction, "ZED IS DEAD"

@sadolite
I've never seen the film.
So you're three years younger than me....Though I had my kids in my Early twenties....They are in their mid thirties now.....Wow the time has flown.
Here's hoping that we've got a few more decent years in us yet.
Regards.

@zedvictor4
I know I have years left I am in better shape than most people half my age. I will die in some form of violent accident most likely. At least I hope so. I don't want to die old and useless. But anyway, Remember when they picked teams at school in PE and the guy that got picked last knew how much they sucked. LOL
-->
@sadolite
Yep
Perhaps the old way was best....Work, retire, heart attack...Game over.
Striving for decrepitude does seem somewhat futile.
I take care of myself too, so I'm hoping for a few more decent years yet though.

Don't remember much about the past. I do remember feeling intense passion about certain things that happened, but my actual recollection of the facts surrounding such things is non-existent.

Independent blobs of organic matter, inextricably tied to the past by memories.
