Image result for never memorize anything you can look up image

Don’t memorize things, Einstein said, if it’s easy to look up instead! I’ve got taped to my cell what I still don’t know well: My own number! Why clutter my head? This is a true story. From the quote below, I’d say Einstein’s “got my number!” “Never memorize something that you can look up.”

Yep, I KNEW it (I'm physic you know) and hey, I don't memorize either...I look you up all the time (on PS that is)... Question: Since your title claims you're an 'Air Head' what do you do if you spring a leak? Congrats best friend on The Soup!! - Tim

Isn't it true? If a girl asks me for my number, I'll have hard time recalling it! You cleared lots of air in my head! A nice one here.

Well well well..... nice to see somethings do not change Andrea. Atleast people that leave come on back and its a refreshing read. Maybe ' Scouse I miss you and a few. I've been reading now. No longer a writer after 15 years freelancing. It took alot of time from family time and all. Coming from the dead here girlie. Take care. Been reading the famous authors a lil.. never really did that much. Be sweet. Stay strong;)
