    Sadland

    I liked it and often used it, yet I gave it away. Then I realized I loved it.   I was moving the fourth time in six years so many damn possessions every object more work. Now there's not enough, Just the knee-deep clutter of Sadland.   The Lucite tray with the...

    • I would have felt uneasy with her reaction too. It was a seed that planted a doubt that something was done and did wrong when there was nothing done wrong.
      Nice piece.;))

    • I don’t trust anyone named Debbie with the exception of Debbie Harry and the adult star in Debbie Does Dallas. Triple D mind you …

      The rest of the Debbie’s can suck my ass ….

      BIG WENDY LIKE

    • Big thanks. It’s funny how names impact us. I have a good friend named Debbie, so she has helped blot out the mini bitch Debbie. I attract a lot of Steves, but maybe that’s because about 1 out of 3 guys used to be named Steve.

    • Thanks, Adira. It feels great to be free, at least for a while.

    • You know, in my class we’d spin the bottle, and the teacher wasn’t invited. I’m so glad you’re in there doing the spinning. It’s obvious that you make learning fun. (I’m not saying we didn’t have fun learning, but it wasn’t on the curriculum.)

      Have fun in your new life! You’ve earned it.

      • If it was Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher, the teacher might have been invited to Spin the Bottle (old video but still fun, I think anyway).

        Thanks for the good wishes on my new life. While web surfing I stumbled upon a school I might actually like. Going to apply. Can always turn it down.

    • Thank you! Now that I’m out of school, I’m going to get caught up on your writing.

    • This is a great read.
      I wish I had teachers like you who gave a damn about her students. I’ve had ADD my whole life. I outgrew it for years but now as a geezer it’s returning…. which sucks.
      I skim everything but I read every word here…

      Best of luck going forward.
      I’m thinking of retiring but the thought of it makes me kinda want to puke. I’m old enough to retire but I’m not done yet.
      Need a new career not so much for the money but more for identity..

      BIG LIKE

      • Thank you PS. I get the retirement struggle. Even if I could afford to retire at this point, I know I would feel lost. Like you, I feel I have more to give. And structure is necessary for ADDs like us. I’m just hoping to find a new gig that’s not as stressful. Hope you find what you’re looking for too.
