Introducing myself

I am a very old lady, positively decrepit in fact. I am past retirement age and my last place of work - a college - has let me go. I can't say I blame them, really as my ideas and attitudes do not fit in with the current trends.
My name is Amanda, although most people call me Mrs Mitchell. A few call me Mandy and the students called me 'Miss' - at least to my face.

I wonder what banned member this one is? 🤔
CestManan · 46-50, F
@MandyMitchell no you should be okay, the only things that really get people banned or on serious restriction is arguing with the administrators about how they run the site, don't do that and you should be fine
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@CestManan I'll keep my tongue between my teeth!
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
@MandyMitchell thats a good place to keep it.

Welcome to Similar Worlds. Be ready to be propositioned lol.
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@Matt85 I am probably a bit old for that!
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MandyMitchell No honestly, I know what I said. Be careful haha.
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@Matt85 Thank you. I will.
Welcome to SW. I hope you'll have a pleasant experience here.

I’ve never met a teacher who liked me, if you’re on sw you may be different 🙂
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@SW-User I was over sixty years teaching at various levels. Some students liked me. Not many!

@MandyMitchell that’s a long time 😲
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@SW-User I am a very ancient woman. Positively antique!
dancingtongue · 80-89, M
Ah, reinforcements if you truly are that age. Welcome! So how does someone who prefers pen to computer and feels she is out of tune with current trends wind up on SW?
dancingtongue · 80-89, M
@MandyMitchell Perhaps you are a newbie to social media and this site if you really have to ask that question. While most of those who misrepresent themselves online opt to pretend to be younger, there are those who opt to appear much older as well for a multitude of reasons. Nothing is necessarily as it appears online or social media platforms wouldn't struggle so much with verifying the basic characteristics of posters.
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@dancingtongue I have never had cause or desire to use social media
dancingtongue · 80-89, M
@MandyMitchell Until now? (Looking around, checking where we are having this discussions) 🤔
DrWatson · 70-79, M
Welcome. I am a college professor. I have enjoyed this site (while choosing to ignore quite a bit of it!) I hope you will enjoy it as well.
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@DrWatson Thank you Dr Watson.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@MandyMitchell What was/is your area of history?
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@DrWatson The long 19th century British social and imperial, although I taught a wider range at lower levels.

Welcome !
Sounds normal. Which of your ideas and attitudes you think do not fit in with the current trends?
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@ABCDEF7 Most of them. I still prefer writing with a pen to using a computer!
ABCDEF7 · M
@MandyMitchell Writing on computer using keyboard is the need, not preference.
@MandyMitchell I think writing with a pen is much better too. Some kids don't even seem to know how to handwrite anymore

You are a mean history teacher aren't you? XD
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@pride49 I could be a very mean history teacher

@InHeaven And Hi to youi
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
You must have loved that job, being around all of those students and the young energy. I'm sure my ideas and attitude wouldn't fit well either.
MartinII · 70-79, M
Hello Mrs Mitchell. Delighted to encounter someone whose attitudes don’t fit in with current trends! Hope you enjoy SW.

@Musicman Hobbies? I read history books and walk a little. @Musicman
RenFur · 70-79, M
Is this an unfortunate yet inevitable truth: The older you get the more you have to apologize for it?
what did you do at the college. Teacher or other work
MandyMitchell · 80-89, F
@nevergiveup I was a lecturer

@Misspotat Have to watch for those hackers. They can create some discord.
