My Nana is 87 and she can remember an accident with a gas oven when she was 4 or 5, no one got hurt but she had her eyebrows singed!

That's a very good question!

And do you get lonely with such a large chunk of your life that you can't share with anybody?

This is funny but also very serious because the chances are, if there were immortals of 200 years or more, they would be reading this forum. They would have discovered it by now. If there are no posts that means there are no immortals.

Im 248. My earliest memory is being in a cradle asking my dad for something but I could not speak yet so I used crying to get my message across.

I remember being around a year old and squirting my bottle all over my crib, and my parents saying I was going to become an artist. Be careful what you say around your babies; they may understand every word. I couldn't speak yet, but I understood what they were saying...and I knew what an artist was.

Randall!!!

Yes!

I too have memories as a child understanding clearly what the adults were saying- but I could not speak yet.
That has fascinated me for years and years.

Wow, SC! But that doesn't surprise me. Maybe we are born with some residual intelligence from our last lifetime before amnesia sets in. People should be very careful what they say around babies. I can just see parents going "goo goo gah gah" and the babies rolling their eyes and thinking, "What are these people saying to me?"

My earliest memory is not nice.
My mother tried to drown premmie me in a toilet in her hospital room.
I was very little, purplish blue, hunchbacked and clubfooted.
She seemed very grossed out by me.
I remember the cold water, the hard porcelain my head hit, her screaming, holding me down as I breathed in the chilled water, then a man yelled and I felt someone jerking me up hard and high, slapping my back....
In my early 40s I got in touch with the doctor who attended my birth.
(he died shortly after)
He confirmed my near murder.
My mother finally confessed it to me not long after.
She said I seemed like a deformed monster to her.
So there you have it, my first memory, carried for about 40 years and finally confirmed.

However, I have many early past life memories.

I think the murder of a mother of her baby is the most forgiveable crime, when we think of what is being demanded of a mother.It is truly a life for a life, since the mother's own life is effectively over until she is no longer caring for that child.

oh dear... good thing this is a quiet forum maklhouf...

i do see your point, but not entirely sure i agree with it... yes, mother's in general do make great sacrifices for bringing life into this world... but there is also nothing greater than a mother's love - or rather, there should be nothing greater than a mother's love... one has to question the being that could create life and then "casually" destroy it because of the potential illusion of burden... in Lexx's case, because her mother saw a " deformed monster "... as far as the mother's life being over - i guess it would depend on what your definition of living is

It is not a question of making sacrifices. The act of giving birth and taking on children is a sacrifice, whether or not it is seen as such.Especially if that child is disabled. However, people ALWAYS lie about this, and this is why babies get beat up and killed so much because their mothers simply were not expecting or prepared for the way their lives are vampirized by their children.

i have to strongly disagree with this... i'm not sure if you have children or not but i can assure you that for the majority of women this is simply not the case... abusive parents will usually have an array of mental disorders and most likely grew up in abusive households themselves... this is a pattern that repeats itself through out many generations and can be more predominant within certain cultures...

your theory is perhaps more applicable to children who are abandoned...

I still have a slight image of when I was an infant. It had to be the Shrine Church. I remember the dim lighting. And being carried. I have a feeling that it was my Christening. But I've heard of others saying they remember their Christining too. Wired. Don't exactly remember having the water being pured on my head. I remembered this more when I was younger, but now its like I remember remembering that moment. That is the earliest memory I have.

But no I'm not 200, I'm 21. lol But I've been told that I've had past lives.
