Memory Box

[slinky.kate]

do you keep a memory box,?I started one last year,i keep all my concert tickets,days out etc.and every now and then I go through it,its really nice to remember how kind my sons are to take me on holidays and days out,now that I am getting older and health not improving I am cramming in as much as I can

[ethandron]

No Kate, I don't. My memories are in my head or on digital photos, I can't be done with 'stuff'.

[bednobs]

yes i have two

My memory box is the study. It has all my life's work in it.

You are lucky to have such caring sons, Kate. Carry on carrying on. best wishes.

[237SJ]

Not really. My memories are all in my head. I do keep things such as concert tickets, wrist bands from festivals etc but they tend to go in the bin eventually. My memories and photos are all I need.

[ethandron]

Bednobs, I think your memory boxes are a little different though, I'm not surprised you have them x

[slinky.kate]

I find it really hard to remember stuff now(brain tumour),thats why I keep everything.little souviners etc.

I do have odds and ends but I scan them into the computer as well, just in case anything happens to the originals. After all, in centuries to come my descendants may like to know what I got up to....

well, anything's possible.

[ethandron]

I'm glad your bits and pieces give you such pleasure Kate.

[slinky.kate]

I keep everything because I,m useless with the computer,i can only go on answer bank to chat and do my crosswords,and that's it.(I cant even send an e-mail,son does it for me)

[bednobs]

it's the same principle though ethand ron - i keep things that are associate with them, or things that belonged to them and i do add to it as we create new memories that involeve them with feebs

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah. It's called my house.

I used to have A memory box. Now I have several boxes and bags full of stuff like tickets, theatre programs, tennis orders of play and things from my son's childhood. There's too much stuff, but I can't bear to throw anything away.

kate, get your son to show you how to do emails, and how to scan things in (if you have a scanner). Lots of computer things are complicated, but these ones aren't. Just get him to write down a full list of instructions (there aren't many) and follow them in the right order.

[slinky.kate]

jno,he has tried and given up,its to hard for me.
