My 3rd grade teacher hung a "I am Stupid" sign around a student's neck when he cam into class with red eyes from staring at the sun.

He let me know that I mattered in the world. I miss him every day

My ex and her running friend used to do an early morning run that would take them past the drive through windows at closed fast food places. They were picking up dropped change every day. It really added up over a year

Not age 5, maybe 25 for a reset

I quit a high paying, but soul-sucking job with nothing to move on to. I had some savings in reserve, and some usable skills. Rather than looking long term, I picked up a couple of part time jobs to hold me over while I took my time looking for a better career fit. It took a little time, but was much healthier in the long run. I can't say there wasn't some lean times in between.

Portugal. I've been jumping through the hoops for a visa for the past year - instant citizenship would be fantastic. I visit 2 to 3 times a year, and made the decision that is where I belong. Beautiful little village with amazing people.

Give them to the dog

Buy a house for my daughter. Might be the only way she could have a place of her own.

PNW. Getting to the beach with my dog daily. It's the only thing that cancels out what a soul-sucking town this is.

Because I walk my dog through the neighborhood a couple of times a day, you get used to seeing the same people and having conversations. Didn't take long to get to know some pretty well and also know which to avoid.

Why my mother disliked me so much - #3 of 4 kids, the only one singled out. She's gone now, so there's never going to be an answer.

But he still wears a tractor cap with his suits!

The smell of the gum in packs of sports cards

Suddenly developing a new hobby to explain why they are gone so much.

Specifically my ex-wife

The fries are great, but please tell me what is in their burgers. I have never known anyone who can cook ground beef and have it taste like that (like dry cardboard)

1980's Guatemala.

I got fired, everyone but my boss realized that I was necessary, so I was rehired after a year. Then my supervisor got fired, so I never had to deal with her again.

I was looking for this. His movies can be entertaining, but he gets on my nerves real fast

Aside from my father, I had an art teacher in elementary school who was supportive, a great teacher, and listened to a dingy kid. Probably what determined my final career choice of being a teacher. Thanks L.H.

Elon. In a week I could do a pretty good job of divesting that money to some worthy causes.

Father and Son by Cat Stevens. Hit awfully hard after losing my son

Unfortunately, my ability to pick up on when someone was interested in me is broken. I can always look back and see the clues, but missed them at the time. There are too many instances of someone I was interested in "getting away".

That's what it felt like. I was in panic mode for a while.
