Kansas.

The Newark airport for 7 hours on a layover.

I was stuck in China for 3 weeks because a taxi driver drove off with my rucksack and passport it took ages for the U.K embassy to fly me out, by degrees, I was a college lecturer at teh time and relaly scared that I wouldn t get back in time for the Autumn term - Hairy scary and really mad being taken the long way back home - Pakistan was the real pits or me as they hated the english so much then . Kept having three day stop-overs everywhere nd being treated like something the cat brought in .

Whenever the proposition of getting married came up, this was the first question that entered my mind. Next was trying to find a job that I felt secure in and could expect to enjoy and be challenged by.
The other fact was that I was never good at being 'told' what to do or else.' That was an Irish threat which was imposed on me at an early age and one which I never forgot.
Having spent two Years in the US Army during the Viet Nam Crisis opened my eyes to the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Earth

Groton, CT in January. Room had no heat and frost built up on the inside of the window. Was sometimes warmer outside.

Marriage almost 8 yrs.

Buffalo, Wyoming. A week and a half trying to find a rental car in a hick town with more churches than people.

When I was laid off after 31 years of uninterrupted service. The time between jobs felt like the twilight zone or something. Stay home and do nothing did NOT fare too well with me. I was pretty miserable freaking out.... Luckily, I was searching so agressively that I found an even better job. The fact that it is 70 miles away from home seems unimportant now.

Stranded overnight in Seoul's airport. Howling rainstorm outside made even a day tour seem awful. This is the only time in my life I rented a hotel room by the hour!

(Edited to say...by the hour to SLEEP, of course!)

Aberdeen a more dreech(scottish word) place ive never been to

Optima Oklahoma. 2 years. There might be nice parts of Oklahoma, but that ain't it.

Unable to afford my own place and can't move out from my ended marriage/relationship. It's been a few years...

Ohio

In my mind

Colombia

In my own head.

On my way back from kansas city, at a truck stop 30 miles from anywhere, with no gas, and my paycheck that always came through at midnight that randomly decided not to go through until 9 am, leaving my stranded at a truck stop for 5 hours.

A trucker tried to kidnap me, but a cop came and scared him off

I concur with @nottheonlyone about in my head, for years at a time. Physically other than living alone for much longer than is ideal, By the side of the road downtown with a flat waiting on a jack in Knoxville (apparently my used car was missing it). then the donut got me maybe a half mile before having to be towed anyways to a wal mart parking lot to spend the night til I could buy a tire. Had two friends with me, taking one to see a band for his birthday but wound up missing the show, his dad came to get him from an hour n a half away and the other friend stayed with me in the parking lot til morning. Biggest bummer of a wasted night ever.

Dulles Airport....37 hours. Ice storms suck.

It is a toss-up between a month I spent in the hospital and five days l spent in North Dakota. I am going to have to think about this one.

Stuck inside of Mobile with the Mephis blues again
