Bless your heart! Those incidents make great tales to pass down in the family. I have a few of those, too, and have yet to live them down, and I'm 79 years old! They'll be telling on us after we're gone. lol. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for the kind review and luck.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Google maps is the best invention of all time! Although I've never gotten lost in my own hometown, I have always been directionally challenged and don't know how I got by without Google (and Garmin before that).
This was a good read, well told with lots of examples. You are NOT alone, lol! Thanks for sharing this piece of who you are.
In the second paragraph you use Germany twice in the same sentence. Could you say "took a vacation to the southern part of the country"?
The paragraph about Hobby Lobby - next to last line, should read "I heard him say" instead of "I heard his say".
Hate to laugh about your condition, but your paragraph on the compass and True North was funny, and shows that you, too, can laugh at yourself on occasion.
The first sentence after the last set of *****, I don't see a need for the comma after Steven (I asked Steven, to teach me . . .)

So, you certainly leanrned from your mistakes. You may not have learned how to solve the problem, but you certainly put modern technology to use to overcome its effects. And despite what your menfolk may think, you learned to use that pesky modern technology. Well done Kate xx

Comment from amahra
Barbara, this was hilarious. I'm the same way except I have audio direction dylexicia. I always say, tell me how to get there and I'm lost, but give me a map, and I'll find the Lost City of Atlantis.
If it was,[were], I'd be the poster person for it. [because verb comes after 'if'.] If I [were] a rich man...la la la la la la etc...LOL]
I hate to admit but to solve my map reading skills; [,]
After I explained my situation, I heard his[him] say,
He was worried about me [my] traveling three hours alone [Know that reads funny, but unless the rules have changed...possessive pronoun proceeds a Gerund.

Thank you for the help. I few of them I had this way orginally but my grammar check on Microsoft changed them so I left them. I have now changed them back.

You are just like my mother, she was terrible with directions, and my boys and husband say I take after her! Cheek! I loved reading all these wonderful examples of your sense of direction, it was hilarious, especially when Steven said he'd come and get you! Bless him. Well done, and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx
I think the word is, him, not, his. xx
I heard his(him) say,

Comment from Sally Law
They just love us, is all. You and I are surrounded by those who care. I lost my car at the mall years ago. Some stranger stole it, I was sure of it! Nope. Parked and came back out the wrong door.
School of embarrassing hard knocks! Proving what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,

Seeze Louise, Barbara. You sound just like me. LOL I knew north in my hometown and I too always felt it was always north in front of me. If I go around the block I could get lost. Wow, I feel like we are kin. Good luck. This is a great entry. Blessings, Barbara. Xo
