Tattooed on upside down just above your nipple so you can read it when you look down?

Some numbers are easier to remember. 34D was my girlfriend's number when I was in college. Easy to remember even after all those decades and that's all I'm gonna say.

Here's a number many will remember:

A lifetime ago I had a friend who had a photographic memory, it was unnerving how smart he was.

One day he asked me to take out my DL, and look at it. I did, and he rattled off my DL# without looking at it from memory. This was the moment he was coming clean about his memory.

I asked how he knew it, he said I took it out in a bar we were at when I was getting ID'd and he saw it for a couple of seconds. That was all it took he knew my DL license # from that day on.

He was a Paramedic, he liked the rush. He decided he wanted to be a RN, so he want to school crushed the courses and went into nursing. Then he got bored with that and got back into Paramedic, last I heard he was a Traumahawk paramedic attached to Holmes Regional in Melbourne Florida.

I am pretty good with numbers, I have to be, I measure houses all day, I was just telling my wife my helper forgot to look down one side of a house and it was busy. We were just about the start measuring it, he draws them up in a field book. I told him to go draw it up and I would start on the front of the house. I measured up 6 walls on my own then walked over to him pointed and said around the front, then rattled off all 6 measurements.

The numbers were all odd, like 20.6, 4.3. 2.3, 20.7, 4.5 and 14.7. That was probably them. I was reciting them in my head adding each new one until I could download on him.

He looked at me like I was nuts.

Ask me to remember your name or face? tall order.

Remember to do something my wife asked me to do... yeah, I am always disappointing.

But I can remember the numbers.

My memory has definitely gone downhill at 59.

Like Zeke, I used to remember 100’s of phone numbers for work in construction. With the cell phone, I no longer had to remember. Now my problem is trying to remember who I need to call for what task.

My first phone number was 203-227-6306.

We lived at 43 Marion Road, Westport, CT 06880.

The other day, I gave the cashier Jenny’s number. She smiled and said wouldn’t it be funny if Stacy was Jenny’s mom or something like that.

If you get to pick your number - use a word and a phone pad. I have a half dozen or so safes at work all with 2x3 combos. That get changed every 6 months. Remembering six words is far less painful. Six words, we can manage...

My wife remembers numbers very easily. She looked at her newest license tag when she picked it up and had it memorized. She is scary with numbers, and any error I have ever made, which is very rare for me.

I can't remember numbers for beans. Names are just a challenge for me. I can remember stupid trivia about my computers, and how to do a task in a program I use only a few time per year. Maybe that is what drew me into computers.

The smart phone is why most of us are dumb about phone numbers now . Hell, it goes all the way back to the first phone that stored contacts with their numbers. Probably some sort of mini brick phone.

What was this thread about again?

I remember numbers by the shape they make on a 10 key pad.
Being able to say, "Hey Siri, Call Pizza" makes me forget their phone number.

My gun safe is 3845. Not really, it has a key, but a good number though.

As a kid when we'd pick up the phone an operator came on..."Number please."
No rotary dialing yet.
My good friends # was 832 and our # was 2255W.
A long time ago. We were fortunate to even have a phone.
