Question:
How can it be Past Due?
Answer:
It went down the Memory Hole*
Definition:
Imaginary place where inconvenient or unpleasant
information is put and quickly forgotten.
Conclusion:
I guess that explains a lot.
*Origin from George Orwell’s novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, which described a slot where historical documents could be disposed of to allow for manipulation of memories of the past.

That book has been on my reading list for a while, maybe this summer I'll get to it. Especially after this post…I think a lot of my mental information goes down the 'memory hole!' Have a great weekend!

Wonder if we could use that since it's getting harder and harder to pay all the bills. A “Memory Hole” would be awesome if the people you owe money too had a great sense of humor.
