It was an important lesson. The entire visit all I heard were complaints that I elected to stay in a hotel rather than appreciation for the fact that I was visiting in the first place.

Former educator, chemist, forensic lab director, business owner, and dean, now I offer my thoughts for your consideration.
Gifts 6/11/21
I guess that’s something about the best gifts. I never give them in anticipation of getting something back, but with great gifts like these, I always get something in return after all. I get a great memory, a warm glow, a happy memory, and the knowledge of knowing that I made a difference.
Frustration 6/10/21
I don’t like to give up. I’ve been through too much in my life to let these frustrations really bother me for very long.
Remembering 6/9/21
It was such a trivial little conversation, but apparently, she remembered me. This is really a surprise to be honest, and a pleasant one at that. It serves as a reminder that, honestly, we never know how we touch other people’s lives.
Pride 6/8/21
There are times that we all need somebody, a helping hand, acceptance, or just a little bit of love. Imagine reaching out to find nothing.

Renaissance 6/5/21
he was probably one of the most successful alchemists of all time because he wasn’t an alchemist. He was actually a con man, a grifter, a cheat. Born with the name Mamugna
Fetish Princess 6/4/21
My ex-wife was very jealous of my female friends. She forced me to give them all up. As it turns out, as now I know more about the subject than I did then, this is a form of spouse abuse.
Apologetic 6/3/21
If I wear my mask, will others assume it’s because I’ve not been, or have even refused to be vaccinated? If I don’t wear a mask, will people assume that it’s because I’ve had my vaccination, or that I’ve never had a vaccination and never wore a mask as a protest?
