Unfortunately, many people can't remember (or never even knew) that there is a second line to the mnemonic.
Looks like a senior moment. I just looked back at the reference in post #3708. I even posted almost the same comment nearby . Shirley, you don't expect everyone to check back 3700+ posts every time anyone says anything?Groundhog Day

Yes, but that memory that still functions is concerned with remembering where I live, how to get to the toilet and use it, how to feed and wash myself, and the various technical aspects of the more importants things we discuss on the non-Hummy Arms threads.
