My parents used a counting-on-the-knuckles scheme for

days in each month. I don't recall the details, however.
I do that too. You start on the pointing finger knuckle (that's a
?pick?) January, 31 days. Next you go between the pointing finger
and the middle finger knuckle (that's a ?valley?), February, 28 or 29
days. Next is the middle finger knuckle (up again), March, 31 days.
When you reach the last (small finger) knuckle (up, July, 31 days) you
start again at the beginning (up, August, 31 days) and keep going
until December. :-)
It's hard to explain not being an native English speaker, but I hope
the description is good enough to understand the ?method?.
