The headless bird raced around the yard for a bit, then fell to the ground. He did this to a second bird then hung them up. I couldn't eat any chicken that day. I've got over it since then, obviously.

But the memory always brings me back to a post I read when I lived in CA and was reading a thread about hunting. A poster made the comment that hunting was wrong and why don't those hunters just buy their meat at the supermarket where no animals are harmed. LOL!
That's the name of it that I couldn't remember. "aha moment" Now, when I remember anything I use to know all the time, it's a "aha moment".
