Yes, dear izzy, please do start a thread! Its fun. Its like a public diary. Just start with writing about your day, and before you know it...a blog is born! #Aw, isnt the lil feller cute. I was a tutor for couple of years. To japanese housewives, who had come to usa for awhile. I liked it. I had them come to my sf house. One brought her toddler daughter. I made sure to mop the kitchen floor and even bought her a sippy cup. I served the mother tea and cookies. Or id bike to another womans house to teach. Now i look back on it and think, what moxie i had. Do i know how to teach english? I had no certificate. What i did like and was good at, is caretaking and interacting with seniors. I volunteered a year at this rehab place in sf. I learned how to push wheelchairs. Interact. I would paint their nails. #Like im a manicurist. I liked hanging out with my favorites. Id take my friend, make thermos of coffee, and head over on a weekend. I met some lovely ladies.
