What would your occupation be
If you would have followed your childhood dreams?I always did like to draw.
On another topic, I was talking to the security guard at the grocery store, he is there watching for theft. With the high price of groceries these days it seems the self check out areas in stores have to be monitored closely. He said at one drug store he sees people paying $20 and walking out with at least $200 worth of stuff. When questioned they say 'oh I didn't realize', and just return the unpaid for items. No charges can be laid for that. A Walmart store in Ottawa had to close their self checkout lines due to the amount of theft. My sister in California says people are just walking out of stores with stuff.

Lawless looting, stealing from stores, not paying for groceries, are rampant especially in blue states like where I live. I think it is partly due to the breakdown of the family and of religious attendance where structure and support are given to young people. My first loves were books and horses and I did choose a career in the books field, didn't combine that with horses though.
It is the same in our area. Our local supermarket shut one of the exits and put someone on the door to check receipts like they do at CostCo. I always wanted to be a dress designer.
I would have liked to have become a nurse earlier, but I became a postman and later a housewife with 3 children
It's bad and it's getting worse, it's no different with us when it comes to stealing!

Yes, thefts are IN, here too.
Oh, most definitely a sweet thought of remembering what you wanted to be. I always wanted to write.
In reality, It does feel like things are getting worse on so many levels in our world. Just getting the essentials. Yes, Things seem to be sketchy in many places these days. And it's getting harder to find a cashier at WalMart here.
I had an experience, where the alarm kept going off as I was leaving and I would come back to see what was the problem and the guy at the door finally says, "I can't touch your items." As if he would be the one in trouble.
It wasn't until later, I realized I had a donated DVD in my bag that I was taking home to watch to see if it worked.
We have to work on our parenting skills. Glad you were able to work in a field with books that you love
Dress designer sounds fun Denise!
Elkes it is interesting the path life takes us on
Sad this is all over the world
Good that you write on your blog! Glad you found the DVD problem
I agree with the first comment
we always chose not to live in cities to avoid all the people and caos with the direction our country has taken these past few years I would never live in a city
I always wanted to live in the woods maybe marry a park ranger-I did get to live in the woods when we first retired and loved it Happy new week
In the newspaper I read that there are devices attached to scam customers when they use their credit card at self checkouts such as parking meters, gas stations and stores. ID theft is rampant everywhere.
Writer, translator and mom of ten ;) Explorer and mountain climber.
I did not make it to ten, and all the mountains were climbed when I got old enough. I have travelled widely and translated, I still miss publishing a book, but numerous articles, poems and suchlike has been published. My childhood dreams were more rose-tinted, but not too far off the mark.
Thesxe are difficult times for many people, but I can't condone theft. The same is happening here. Hugs, Valerie
Charlotte you achieved your dreams, wow.
Kathy glad you are able to live in the woods like you wanted.
Here in my area I believe people are just struggling more to afford their necessities.
On the other topic, I wanted to be an actress or model, but it was not for a long time.
A fun thought!
I probably would have become a comic artist or a painter or a writer.
Bad thing about the shoplifting...
All the best from Austria!

Happy Monday Christine

Much💖love
Thanks for sharing Gillena
Interesting choices Rostrose
Yes, in California, the police aren't allowed to arrest people for theft, so soon businesses will probably shut down. It's insane.
I'd be a veterinarian or an Olympic Gymnast had my childhood dream come true.
Escribir como lo hago ahora. Te mando un beso.
Fun childhood dreams Suz
My childhood dream was joining army as nurse.
An updated security system can solve the issue probably
