@stewieg71 Except it would be easy as hell to test it by just checking a calendar and seeing whether she's making mistakes. It's easy for me to believe that if you can nail down the day of the week and the date that you could also recall the weather that day, major events etc. I've seen her do this years ago on talk shows, so if she's faking it she's always faked it and no one's tripped her up.

@DickieAnginson Wow that sound a lot like me! My friends think it's weird how i can remember every detail of a conversation we had a year ago, but like, I'm terrible at remembering in class! haha (: poor us!

@KayceeSparks I have a really good memory, too. I broke my ankles in an accident when I was 2 and since then I recall most events that happened when I was 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. The funny thing is, I probably couldn't tell you what I did a week ago! The more current the date, the more my memory fades. :)
