I find that very, very interesting as well.
I have an Aunt who has absorbed some of my Mom’s childhood memories as her own and I simply can’t wrap my mind around how one could do that. Like wtf…
I post heavy training attempts on facebook for bragging and sharing purposes. Many of my friends are the lifting community and it’s a way to keep in touch and critique each other .
Also inspiring back and forth. It helps keep me motivated
As for the kids , my extended family can stay posted with news and such . Also when they do well I think they deserve kudos . Bragging them up now and then is okay IMO .
I like this tom63 fellow, he seems allllllright.

yeah, you can tell by his posting that he is not from the frozen state of Canada~
I don’t like to post every workout since my shoulders are rough and it’s no big deal . But the heavy lower body stuff keeps me motivated when I get it out there . I guess it’s also an accountibility thing. All my lifting friends know I’m not slacking then.
In these days I want my kids to get what I think is well deserved praise. Jr gets a five on the AP calculus test , I post it. Keeps the relatives posted . My daughter got an eight point buck, I post it. I try to keep it with info that I don’t mind seeing in public about them .
And I don’t want to be that guy who goes overboard though.

The brain is so capable of filling in detail, merging events, and just all kinds of error. We know emotional state and even hormones can effect memory storage in profound ways. No three people will remember an event quite the same, and often they will be way off in important ways. Scary, since we place a lot of emphasis on eye-witness accounts in our legal system.

Off topic a bit, but it reminded me of this. Remember the famous case of Sybil, the woman with supposed multiple personality? A situation where an unethical therapist used sodium pentothol to and psychoanalysis to “help” her client remember childhood trauma. I was blow away when I read this about how it was all manufactured.
Chushin, what’s your field?

Haha. Me too! My mom is one of nine kids so I guess the odds are that at least one will be a little nuts. I have an aunt who “remembers” all kinds of stuff that the other kids don’t. Sadly, that includes incidents of childhood abuse that the other kids say never happened. It made my grandfather mad enough to write her out of his will. Interestingly, she’s a super creative person who has written some unpublished novels. Overactive childhood imagination? Faulty memory storage system? Hard to say, but she’s definitely got some loose wires in there somewhere.

Used to work in mental health (or actually, illness, ha ha!).
Current field is unrelated.
Aren’t you on G+ ? If so, I can share more there…
[/quote]
I’m going to guess by your opaque answer, that you are now working on a top secret assignment for the government and so you can’t disclose too much here because it might jeopardize national security. What a coincidence! Me too! That’s why I’m not on G+.
Seriously, the reason I’m not on G+ is because in real life I’m a dude, and nobody is impressed with my nearly body weight bench. 
Max - Peacock away my friend.
Edgy - Crazy? The technical term is “one taco short of a combination plate.”

Thanks, Edgy. Just for that, I’m going to tell you my favorite childhood memory. One time I bought a candy bar. When I opened the wrapper, there was a golden ticket inside. And the super cool thing was that the golden ticket meant I won a trip to the chocolate factory! There was a glass elevator and everything. I had such a great childhood.

but if she kisses me, I turn into a handsome prince -
what happens if she kisses you? you’re already the most handsomest prince in the realm -
cut a bruddah some slack, here~
Back to talking about ourselves. Sorry frogs, it’s a little bit country, and a little bit rap YIKES! but the lyrics apply. I’m pretty sure this is how my prince feels most of the time.
