Stage Fright

In answer to your first question, I just hope MT stays lucrative at least until I can collect Social Security.....four more years, I think.


About stage fright, my son teaches fourth grade. He is a wonderful teacher and is to at ease with his students. But whenever he has to speak in front of any other type of crowd, he's a basket case. If you're meant to be a teacher you'll do fine.

stage fright solution? I knew a wise older man once who
said the key was to think about the people you r speaking to, instead of yourself. Think about how much they need you, the positive effect you can have on their lives, the gift you are giving them in your education, how much they need the human contact, the kindness, the discipline, the "touch" of your voice and smile. Once the focus is off of YOU, and on THEM, it becomes much easier. Takes practice, tho.
Maybe stage 1?

At my stage of farsightedness it has been

recommended by my ophthalmologist. but ONLY at this point in my deteriorating near vision.  You do make a very valid point, as my ophthalmologist did warn me that I will probably eventually require bifocals. I would NEVER recommend dollar store reading glasses to a person that does not have regular eye exams.  Deterioration of vision under any circumstance could be a warning sign of potential health problems.


I have been wearing glasses for far vision for almost 40 years.  This near vision problem just started recently. I only use the dollar store reading glasses when I am wearing my contact lenses.  I have routine eye exams every year, including glaucoma screening etc. and I am fortunate enough, at least for now, to be able to get away with dollar store reading glasses.


My appointment with the eye doc is coming up in December and I have this sinking feeling that the time has come for bifocals for my regular glasses or prescription reading glasses when I'm wearing my contacts. Worst case scenario would be bifocal contacts.  WAY too expensive for those and I'm not THAT vain!  I just like the far vision much better with contacts than with glasses.


Gosh, I'm only 45. I was in hopes that the companies that print the instructions/warnings, etc., on a bottle of over the counter analgesics were just making the print smaller.


Ain't life just grand?


WAY better - now there's actually room on the stage...
for all the others!
I'm in the 'now what' stage, as well. I know I need -
to do something to get out of a profession that pays such low wages that I qualify for food stamps, but I'm pushin' 60, and it's getting a little late to go back to school, and working 12-hr. days, where would I get the time (or the energy)? I keep looking around for a profession involving writing/words, but the few I see out there, such as technical writers and other similar jobs, all want a B.A. degree. Most secretarial jobs require proficiency in computer programs I've never learned, and would again require going back to school. Would probably go back to an inhouse MT job (if I could find one.... they're kind of few and far-between), and I don't want to relocate. It really is a catch-22; need more education for the few jobs out there that I could do, but have to work so long & so hard each day at this one just to pay the bills and get by, that there's nothing left, unless I want to get by with little or no sleep each night. Flipping burgers at McDonald's is starting to look better and better.

grade versus stage
grades are regular numbers, 1, 2, 3, etc. Stages are I, II, III. It's easy to remember this way - The Romans are on the Stage.
not all kids go through the no grandparents stage (sm)
my son is 18 YO and guess where he takes his g/f on Friday and Saturday nights? To his grandparents house! He and his friends love to hang out at their house...dont' know exactly why, but I'm glad! At least I know they aren't out getting into trouble.  If you start out building a strong relationship with your grandkids, they will always want to be with you...and don't act too much like a grandma to them, more like a good, um not friend, but just a good person! I think that's why my kids love the most about their grandparents.  Kids are a blessing...at any age!
Beta is usually a program that is in the development stage
where lots of people use the program to test it out to help make it better and fix all the bugs before the final release.
Have seen them twice (Las Vegas and L.A.). They put on great stage show. Tickets were under $100.

makes sense, but I don't know if I could stand the "in-between" stage (nm)
