I, too, have experienced the word mismatch phenomenon. And like you, I tend to both replace and remember them through the syllabic rhythm of the word. Alliteration is also a big troublemaker. I don't know exactly what I do to break the block. I can't remember :) I do know that in order to remember some stuff, I have to put it into context - play back a situation in which I used the word, addressed the person by name, etc. I remember scenes vividly, more so than chronologies, names, dates, etc. It's almost like I can see them played out like movies in my brain. Sometimes, if I forget the name of something, or the chronology of events, I'll replay the scene in my head. To remember songs, I latch on to one bar or word that I can remember, and try to hear it in my head. But most often, I usually just ask someone :) I have two friends with phenomenal memories, and they're big helps. In fact, in one of my last posts on the grammar thread, I couldn't remember the word "supposably" (one of my peeves). I just called up my friend, reminded her of a casual conversation we'd had about two years ago when I'd mentioned that I hated it when people mispronounced that word, and she remembered exactly which word it was. People with good memories freak me out. They say that coffee and cigarettes can help with memory. I've never found that to be the case.

Pictures part 1
Q
Comments (65)
Uploaded larger files to see the difference. Had trouble adding text at the top and bottom of my post to begin with as I uploaded the picture to the comment/post first , then I had more trouble with text when the mouse over enlarged the picture when I didn't want the picture enlarged. I had no trouble adding the second picture. As others have mentioned the pictures are stacked from bottom up, so you have to have your post completely planned before you start if you want to show progression pics. Steve/evermore, I can't delete the pictures after the comment/post has been submitted as well. Was able to add text between pictures but the enlarged picture with "mouse over" (hard to control..annoying) gets in the way.It would be better if the "mouse over" to enlarge the picture were eliminated and only a mouse click ON THE PICTURE were substituted.Mouse click too far to the left moved the cursor to the top of the post instead of where I wanted to position it.

Uptown gal and Annie, I was thinking of "calf" as well - and this corn needn't worry about being chewed by this calf. And one could talk about "cleaner" alongside "clean chair", ded. Referring to it as "companion" might be stretching descriptions a bit far. ole joyful
