Goodbye Sam's and Strangeness

November 24th, 2008 at 02:27 am

My dad and I were talking on Friday. He told me that the Sam's Club card was up for renewal again. We share a card and take turns paying for it each year.

However, now that he's out in CA and living with his mom (my grandma) they go to Costco instead of Sam's. I very rarely find myself going to Sam's anymore.

So, we agreed that it probably was time to let go of our membership. Frown Bye Sam's, it was nice knowing you.

Strangeness . . .

Last night I got an instant message from someone I'd not heard from in nearly a year - just out of the blue. This person was interested in finding out if I still had something of theirs that they'd left at my place. Smile (I did still have it.)

Then today I got an email from someone who saw an OLD posting of mine on a teachers website about The Lorax. (Dr. Suess - cute environmental theme). At one time I had adapted the story into a play format for my students - which is what that person wanted. I had to tell her that I didn't have a copy of it anymore. Frown I do however still have my video copy of The Lorax!) Smile

What made the above email and instant message even stranger is the following two conversations I had recently (within the past week):

1. With my mom -- You know, I realized recently that I haven't even visited particular teacher website in over a year. I must really be starting to let go of that part of my life.

2. With friend/co-worker -- Have you ever heard back from so and so? Has so and so ever came back for that item they left at your place?

    I know of someone who sell puppet scripts on ebay...you could have sold that play adaptation on ebay to other teachers.

    We let our Sam's membership go, too. I've thought about renewing it, though.

    Wouldn't it be a copyright violation though? I basically just used the actual wording and divided it up into parts. Sharing it for free is one thing, but making a profit from it I think would be a different story.

    Oh, I'm sure you are right there...I thought what you had was more of an original work! My friend sells her own original scripts, so that is different.

    Ever since I have had kids I have been on some kind of heightened psychic plane. I will think of someone I haven't in ages, and there will be an e-mail. It's a little creepy, but I have come to expect it. So yeah, I could identify with the strangeness.

    Then again, sounds like your family and co-workers are in on the psychic vibe thing - hehe. That is extra weird.
