Pity. She deserved it.<br /><br />I guess it is just as well I missed this Flashback anyway. I wasn't permitted much organized extra-curricular activity. I baby-sat before and after school and that meant putting kids on the bus in the morning and being at the bus stop to pick them up in the afternoon. By the time I was free of that job, the other kids had pretty much given up on me and didn't invite me to join their groups anymore, so I found another job instead of socializing.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-86179681956644366042010-08-20T20:28:14.948-05:002010-08-20T20:28:14.948-05:00my safety patrol belt was that nasty orange...and ...my safety patrol belt was that nasty orange...and i had to go to class like Sarah to learn how to fold it...i remember being on duty when "aunt flow' came to visit me the "VERy First time" and i had to get permission to leave post while the 1st graders were letting out..how embarassing! <br />I always wanted to be a candystriper...Skoots1moMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062108140123899280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-84261742742923089242010-08-20T13:35:01.511-05:002010-08-20T13:35:01.511-05:00I have some not-so-great memories like the one you...I have some not-so-great memories like the one you shared, too.

We had that outfit for one or two years, then we went to a navy polo with khakit shorts or pants.<br /><br />Homecoming is a big business here, huh!

I have a lot of good memories of my drama experiences in high school.I don't think I'll share today, but it's fun to look back.<br /><br />But I'm a weird cat I guess, because I wouldn't do that all over again for ANYTHING!

It was fun for me to think back on my school days and all of the memories (that I could remember) :o). I'm with you, can't stand how the world caters to "the beautiful people." I always think of my Mom saying, "pretty is as pretty does." Don't think that is said or practiced much today.

I am sure you were very assuring to the hospitalized and to the staff. :)<br /><br />That was a bummer about the $15 and the award. Things like this is where kids lose their trust in adults. Too bad.<br /><br />I enjoyed your prom stuff. I only went to one and that was with two buddies. We ate but I can't remember if I danced or not. I think I was a 'wall flower' at any rate.<br /><br />I didn't blog about that, it would have made three things to talk about. So, insteand, and since I had missed it earlier, I did FOOD. I do hope FOOD will be okay. I answered your questions.<br />..<br />There were zero at Mr. Linky when I started your comment. I hate to be first again but I have to go to bed. So I will just sign in.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.com
