Orcid, no doubt there are many other topics to discus and read and learn from those whose lives are on different paths. Mine however, the past few days has been that of trying to help one of my best friends who has been hurt. The things Casey shared I've used to help her in spite of the criticism and barbs I've gotten from others here.
I choose to overlook most of the time, but when you work 4 10 hr. days to come home, clean house, do laundry and care for small children then go to your second job on your 3 days off, it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for peddling round the US or piddling in a library reading yet another book written by yet another retiree.
Geeze, the secretary at my grandson's school was touting her second novel...I'm beginning to think that's all older women do when they retire.
Anyway, thanks for your interest in my life. I just wish it were truly sincere and caring.
