As much as I love shopping for and sending greeting cards, I have not sent out or even given a valentine card in over 25 years.

Ardentfemme mentioned getting lost... i am the poster child.

i blame it on being a tad dyslexic.. the concept of left and right , east and west just does not process the same way and i end up opposite of where i want to be.

When i was young my family said i would get lost in a bathtub.. and they teased me a bit because i would always try to guess the way home.. and i was never right. They didn’t know but this was causing me to be so self conscious about it.

The worse time was my office was getting together at a LOCAL bar and restaurant one evening. It was on the other side of town from me, but still in New Orleans.
No GPS, i took my hand written directions and tried to follow them. i kept going in a big circle around town. SO i stopped at a gas station and asked this nice fella for a M.A.P lol and he told me where i needed to go. Well that was no help.. i got MAJORLY lost, back and forth across all of New Orleans for hours. i drove through a rain storm and the sun came back out again..then it got dark and it was getting late.. but i was determined. My co-workers were worried about me. Well i pull into what i thought was another gas station.. and i saw this guy walk out with the most confused look on his face.... it was the SAME guy and station as hours and hours before.

i had a meltdown. i was so embarrassed. well by this time everyone had gone home and i used his phone to call one of my coworkers who said they were about to put a APB on me..... He gassed up my car and i have no recollection of getting home.

i am SO thankful for a GPS, but i even screw that up sometimes.

and oh, i LOVE Geography! i just can’t get you anywhere on the map

girl dee - Don't stress it. Even someone with a compass and map could get lost in New Orleans. NSEW do not exist. Part of what makes your city so fun.

one from me...Okay, I have synesthesia which means I taste/smell things not near my mouth/nose...like dog food in commercials or piles of trash on a sidewalk or maybe the yummy freshly seared steak in a steakhouse.

When I was a toddler and learning to walk I fell into a coffee table and knocked out my front teeth. Those baby teeth hit my adult teeth up in my jaw. It left a permanent mark on one of my adult teeth and as I aged it changed colors. Now you can see when I smile that one of my teeth is discolored. It's not technically dead - just a "tattooed tooth" from my misspent toddler years.
