I guess I've still "got it", because I was just blatantly hit on while I was eating my lunch (by myself) at my school.
14 year old boys are incorrigible aren't they!  He was at least 20 (I think). Had nerves of steel, though. He came right up to me and said "would you like to talk?" Pfft! That's nothing. There was a lady standing in the supermarket yesterday contemplating the cooking utensils. I stood next to her and said 'Great shame they don't sell inspiration isn't it?' She laughed and we had a little chat and I left her smiling. I'm such a flirt  |

Been teaching lots, at all crazy hours of the day/night. I have folks in several different time zones. I prettymuch plan out each class. We don't have to stick strictly to anything, but my one student today just totally ditched what we were talking about (grammar stuff) and started flirting like crazy with me. Telling me all about his city, how I should visit him, where he'd take me to show me around... sigh...  |

I saw my brother tonight for the first time in about 6 or 7 years. We went to dinner, caught up on things, reminisced about our Dad, and my brother said he hated getting old, with a passion. He's 56, one year younger than me. When I think about it, I don't hate getting old but I must say it's more disappointing than I expected.

That comment is intriguing. Why so? |

It's not as bad as it sounds since he's probably older than me by a few years, but as a teacher I wouldn't flirt with a student in a million years, even if I was interested. And the gender thing, well, there's that too... Today's class will probably be interesting. I don't know if I should feel guilty because he keeps signing up for lessons and then then derailing them so I'm getting paid to try to keep him on track... or if I should say 'oh well!' and just go for it. The latter, I think. |

I have decided to quit smoking (again) but unlike other attempts I am serious about quitting this time.

Good luck with that Crow! I quit a few months ago, and found the Nicorette Quickmist somewhat helpful. It tastes bad (I used to spray it toward the side of my mouth rather than my tongue, which seemed to help with that) and isn't cheap, but it does help with the cravings and irritability which in my opinion create the biggest issues when quitting. It seemed to me that its nature allowed me to directly deflect the desire for tobacco. I used to go through one of the little bottles in a week, but gradually cut that down.

That comment is intriguing. Why so? I hadn't expected things to fall apart quite so quickly -- my knees, my memory, my energy. I suppose I'd expected a more gradual slowing down. |
