How To Remember
|
Which goes what way on a compass it's North, East,
South, West and here's a Mel Way of remembering it:
Never Eat Shredded Wheat
(Seriously, I just made this up five seconds ago.
Maybe I'll use it.) Nothing against Shredded Wheat, of
course. Actually, it's pretty tasty. |

DIRECTIONS
I’m one of these people who if you say, "Go
south" I reply, "Ok…south, got it. Is that left or right? Just
tell me. I can find it."
So I’m not going to get all bent out of shape about
it. AT LEAST I have the sense to pull over to a gas station and ask for
directions. No shame in that! I much prefer that to driving for hours, running
out of gas, and WALKING to a gas station for
a) a can of gas
b) directions
(I’m not accusing, Just throwing out a scenario.)
HOWEVER...since we're being honest here, I am directionally challenged and
even though I've lived in California for a few years now, I still get
lost going to the Mall. It drives my husband nuts, it drives my
workmates nuts - about the only one it doesn't drive nuts is me.
Probably because the last time I got lost, I was leaving a pub in Ladner (I
don't frequent them - my roommate was a bartender there, took a few wrong
turns and ended up at the Blaine border crossing. So, what the heck,
they have Ben and Jerry's in the States - may as well pick up a few pints
while I get gas! See? It's all good!
Update: For the record, we just got a new vehicle that has a
NAVIGATION SYSTEM!!!! So I will TRULY never be lost again. (Unless
I don't follow directions.)
Number of people who get lost a lot, too:
