Depending on the intensity of feelings. One gets a jolt or none at all. The jolt was when young and the 'none at all' most probably (but not always)when they got older! Nicely Jennifer!

It's funny how the mere mention of someone's name can have such an effect on us...but it certainly can. I hope you have a great weekend!
