Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Dom 
The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Sept. 29/18
***
For today’s SOCS, Linda has given us the prompt of ‘dom’. Thanks, Linda!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “dom.” Use it as a word, or find a word that starts or ends with it. Have fun!

I seldom know what I’m going to post on here until I find myself actually doing it. I’d say mostly I do random things. That’s one good thing about having a blog…we have the freedom to write about anything we want to, or anything that interests us.
Sometimes, to avoid boredom, I make up lists of things I remember. Here’s one…can I name all my elementary school teacher’s names? Let’s see.
- Miss Prather…she was very nice
- Miss ? then she got married & became Mrs. McIlroy … I got in trouble a lot with this one
- Mrs. Pistol … an older woman, but nice.
- Mrs. Jackson … one of my favorites (took our class to her house one time – very fancy)
- Miss Herman … nice, but we got in trouble a lot…she had a dog named Trebataw, then got another named Dee O Gee
- Mr. O’Neal … fun teacher & loved to talk about his time in the armed services
It’s funny how I can remember all that, and I have trouble remembering even what we had for lunches this past week! It actually took me awhile to think of these! Could be we had…
Friday – tuna fish salad at home
Thursday – chicken sandwich (from leftovers of the night before)
Wednesday – Jr. cheeseburger at What-a-Burger place
Tuesday – Homestyle pot roast at Cast Iron Grill – (family gathering for a birthday lunch)
Monday – ??

So, that’s all I can think of at the moment.
Happy Saturday, hopefully with no boredom! 🙂

I love the dog named Dee O Gee
I know…it’s a cute dog name! My cousin had a dog named that, too. 🙂
Its funny how memory works. I am not sure I could remember either. I will have to remember that or future boredom tricks. Thanks
Thanks, Anita! It’s something to do. Here’s another…try to list all the songs you can think of about rain. I’ve done that before, and there are a lot of them! 🙂
Dee O Gee… that took me a minute but then I laughed! We are thinking of getting a puppy and debating names, so I’ll have to share that one!
Awww, a new puppy! I love thinking up names for our pets. They usually have a main name, but we call them all kinds of extra ones, too. 🙂
Memory is a strange thing. It’s interesting that you remember Mrs. Herman’s dogs name, especially Trebataw. Wait, does that mean something? I wouldn’t even try to remember meals, that’s too much work. But teachers could be fun. Grade 1: Mrs. Todd (mean) 2. Mrs, Hartseck (nice) 3. Miss Kesler – ok, 4. Miss Holeman got married but I can’t remember her name. That’s as far as can get. I guess the younger we are, the more room we have in our brains and things get well entrenched.
It is funny how some things we remember very well, and others not so much. I remember her dogs because I’d never seen a dog like that (they were wire haired fox terriers) and she brought them to school to see her class. I don’t know how she came up with that name Trebataw, but it’s so unusual, I guess that’s why I remembered.
I like that you remembered your teachers, too, and if they were nice or not. 🙂
🙂
You’re doing better than I am with remembering meals. I can probably come up with a few teacher’s names … one I remember well–Mr. Bonisteel–because I babysat for him once. I put his child to bed and watched “Carrie” on TV. I was petrified by the time he and his wife came home!!
Thanks, Linda!
That would be a definite memory, that you baby sat for your teacher. Were you not supposed to be watching TV?
No, that was fine. It was the movie that terrified me! The fact that the house was very old and there was a claw-footed bath in the bathroom that I found creepy didn’t help either. 😛
Oh my, yes! Now I see what you mean. For some reason it didn’t click with me that Carrie, the scary movie was what you were watching. And there you were, alone with a small child in a scary house! ! !
Teachers, particularly at elementary school where most of us had only one for an entire school year, seem like the kind of thing most people would remember… so I don’t find that unusual at all. Contrast that to college, where I only saw most of the professors a couple times a week for one semester, and I can’t recall many of their names at all…
I think you’re right. We spent all day with our one teacher in elementary school, and then even in jr. & high school we changed rooms/teachers with each subject. Teachers have a big influence on their students, at least they did then, and we may not remember but a few details, but overall just if they were a good teacher, or not.
