Sorry to hear about the head trauma. I have had a couple, but not as bad.

Those are also called hooks or pegs. Those people who do memorizing as an show, (like remembering lots of people's names they just met) use them. Same idea. The way I learned it was like: 1. Bun. 2. Shoe 3. Tree, etc. They you picture, say, the bun with what you want to remember on it like a name, person, thing, etc.

I will check out the link.

Good stuff. Thanks...for the memories!
