RE: [BaadAssGremlins] a old flame (AMX) on ebay (or TO BE or NOT TO

Well, I take offense, because no matter how hard I tried in school I never quite got it. I can study my ass off and earned a 3.8 in a college English class and within a year or two it fades away.
  My dad has the same problem. I can look at someone and you can tell me their name I can use  the name, Write it down and link it to something so I can remember it and 9 chances out of 10 the next time I need that name it will not be there! I have similar problems with everyday names of household items.
  My dad has been the same way for years. I take heart in the fact that he seemed much the same as I am now when he was 40 and I don't see any signs of it getting worse. My dad is now 75! I should have another 31 years at this level!
  To me to maintain a pete peeve over something as simple as not inserting the words "to be" in an add needs "TO BE" examined! Not posted to the AMC-list!
  I also apologize for extending this thread as it has nothing to do with AMC's and never did.
  It needs to be disscarded now!
