 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| At first, I declined to read the responses to this prompt as the idea that we should even consider formulating a conspiracy is not acceptable to me. Now, it is 11/29: *sent* Sandy "Paranoia"  : "I really do like this take on the proverbial "Dust hath no beginning nor doth Dust end." Dust cannot be swept under the rug. Are OCDers denying their heritage? "All go to the same place, all come from dust, and all return to dust." Dust is family.Sonali: "Conspiracy - #30DBC" : Yes, it is a good take on the prompt. I don't think I knew any step-mothers at that age. Grandparents raising kids? That I knew.Marvilla "A story I’ve been told" : Funny.  Yes... children mix and match and reinvent the most interesting tales. Kathie "WDC 30 Day Blogging Nov. 20 The Fantastic Voyage" : I don't remember the movie but wasn't there a children's show about a shrunken bus? In any case... technology isn't that far advanced. Maybe someday. Waltz' iProd is closer to reality. Privacy is a major concern but this conspiracy was sheer Q-stoked fear.Mike "Reporting live from New Jersey... [30 DBC entry]" : Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sox "November 20, 2021" : I only care that it's there.  When traveling always wise to have some spare tp in the pocket.Petra "The Bermuda Triangle excists" : If it would turn my clock back 40 years I'd go there. Jenn: "Invalid Entry" : Ouch. I'm glad I just read this today. I'm not as cynical about scientists and government in general. I believe in Maya Angelou's admonition, "when we know better we do better."Sumojo "It’s a conspiracy " : It's hard to sort things out. I've been to England so I'll zip my lips.Cappucine "Platonic " : Okay... step away from whatever Robert and Mike are slipping to you... My belief in a Cubic Earth is soundly, profoundly Platonic. Funny, punny. Robert "People Eating Tasty Animals" : I was near that volcano when the moon tried to hide that shameful ball of fire. Was able to view it safely. Any practice that creates problems for the little guy gives a boost to the big guy. What more can I say?Viv "Truth/Lies" : Those who are obsessed with finding conspiracies will find them. What's wrong is peddling lies. We've all been fed them. |
| 30dbc29 *sent* Ray "Shuffling Off the Mortal Coil" : Start now. I chose other paths when I was young. I now wish I would've chosen the one you depict. But then I wouldn't be sitting here in puddles.  Everyone at WdC should read this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgl-VRdXr7I*sent* Norma Jean "September 29 - 30 DBC - and this was Nov 29th" : Yes, we are old. The life I led will be remembered for a short time once I'm gone. I vaguely remember my Uncle Eddy, born 1874 in Sweden... it may take some time for you to be forgotten. Very lovely entry. Jenn "Invalid Entry" : Make a living will with copies to your lawyer making it explicit what your wishes are. Dead is dead but this is about your relationship with family, and their respect while you are alive seems to be key. I'm not afraid of Death as I believe my soul returns to its Creator, but I'd rather that my family have nothing to do with my mortal remains. Burial is fine. Viv "Accomplishments A Legacy" : Animals are important family to the homeless. A foundation sounds great. Sonali "How we remembered Mom - #30DBC" : Very nice way of saying thank you by making others happy. Children can give so much joy. WdC: Schnujo can help with how to memorialize your account.Marvilla "Life’s accomplishments " : I want my life to be a reflection of God’s love... a worthy goal. Robert "Future Perfect" : A very rational approach. Am I surprised? I, on the other hand, am too emotional for my own good. My nightmares indicate that my 'issues' are not resolved. Which would be good place to start as I'm a tad closer to the edge than you are.Sumojo "It’s almost over" : You have a good attitude. Many vibrant seniors here in their 90s. There's always new things to see and do if you are young at heart.QP "Satisfaction" : Finding a way to make something happen is a key. Time/job/health/timing/family/money ... all better or worse excuses dealt with by a change of perspective. Instead of making Ireland fit into your life, make your life fit around your dream of Ireland  . You're half-ways there already. Send postcards. (not sent: Finding a way to make something happen is a key. Money is a common barrier many use as an excuse. Finding ways to spend less is only part of an answer. Time/job/health/timing/family ... all better or worse excuses dealt with by a change of attitude. Instead of making Ireland fit into your life, make your life fit around your dream of Ireland. // not posted: And yes... this applies to huser:cathartes02, huser:rig0rm0rtis, suser:kat47 and even huser:sumojo as well. I could sit down with any of you and figure it out (over coffee or tea), just as you could sit down with me and help me sort out my issues  better than I can alone. Find that person who holds the key to your dream... and make it happen. [Free advice as I'm not good at following my own advice.] Kathie "WDC 30 Day Blogging Nov. 29, 2021" : The stepsons each have a life. The two sons need to find one. Can they both move into your place while you and your husband take that trip around the world that includes Ireland? [well... it ends in Ireland because you're moving there but they don't have to know that... yet  ] Or... you could just move to Ireland and have both sons visit. They can arrange a work-vacation from Ireland... many do. In the meantime those photos aren't going to upload themselves. Not a bad idea to think about nephews, nieces, grandkids ... one of them may be able to help and actually have an interest in preserving those albums themselves. Don't leave them to someone who will put them in the trash (there's always one in every family). Just my opinion... I need to straighten out end-of-life issues as well. It'll free me up to make decisions as to what I want to do with my life until then. Petra "Just continue..." : My friend and neighbor came through cancer with flying colors. But when it came back... she made the decision to not fight it. I still have a note from her on my door. We all have choices. There are no wrong decisions in the end, but some aren't easy.  Cappucine "moribund" : New homes for kitties . A lovely idea. Mike "Lebensende [30 DBC entry]" : I've met a number of folks... a very worthy idea. I strongly suggest beginning in Australia, Malaysia and India as long distances seem longer with age. Even Europe can be a long flight. Find someone who can fill in for your family responsibilities ... and go. Meet QP in Ireland... I suggest late May.Sox "November 29, 2021" : I'm lousy at self promotion. Many people equate money with success and nothing else matters. Not me. Yes, I'm published. Yes, it has been awhile. No, I have no energy to put myself out there. |
