I'm with you on this one. I learned at a young age NOT to depend on landmarks as they may not be there the next time you go by. When I was a child, my Mom & I were staying with my grandparents in Topeka. They let me stay with a group after church & they went home. The lady who was heading the group promised to get me home. Little me, was trying to remember the way home from the church. I remembered most of the way, but when I came to the corner house where the "black car" was supposed to be in the driveway, I got lost because the stupid "black car" wasn't there. I was so embarrassed that from that point on, I always made sure that if I did use a landmark, it was something that could't move away from where it was.

I always use North & south directions, number of streets, corners, but NOTHING movable. I definitely love my GPS for directions.

Also, I am a woman, but have never thought like a woman. Never related to women from the time I can even remember. Each of us is unique & when they generalize in black & white terms about how the different sexes act......I tend to not hold much value in their studies. Unique individuals which we are, is what I have always seen people as being, since that was always something that I was proud about being.
