 |    My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| PROMPT May 12th What TV show character would it be the most fun to change places with for a week? Why? Well, isn't this an intriguing prompt. Imagine switching places with a television show character. Just suppose your life is different, but only for a week. The possibilities are endless. I must say that I've never given this much thought. Who would I like to be for seven days? This is above and beyond wearing a costume at Halloween. I do know who I do not wish to be. Try as I might I cannot picture myself as a deranged murderer with serious mommy issues like Norman Bates of Bates Motel.This series is a prequel and is based upon the Psycho characters originally created by Robert Bloch. Spending an entire week plotting and then executing the violent demise of someone is not my idea of fun. Sure I'd most likely get away with it because of my brief presence, but it's still a firm no. In that vein, I'd also skip seven days in the series Hannibal. Being a cannibal and dining upon my victims is not my cup of tea. Neither is torturing and committing diabolical murders in my repertoire. Obviously, I've viewed some twisted programs. It may not seem like it, but I do enjoy watching comedies, too. A week of laughs might be doable. I could see myself sparring with Al, the shoe salesman in Married With Children. Of course, I'd temporarily replace his neighbour, Marcie. Ah, the verbal sparring would be epic. I'd be able to rub shoulders with Al and his family. I'd banter with Al's wife, Peggy. I'd experience the middle class suburbia of America firsthand. Oh, the writing material I'd glean. Now If I wished to reside somewhere extremely different and in no way similar to my current abode, I might opt to live under the ocean in Bikini Bottom where Spongebob Squarepants/i} dwells. No, no, I do not fancy being a simple-minded fry cook. Since I already have the name and she seems to possess some reasoning skills, I'd like to switch with Sandy Squirrel. Isn't a water-exploring rodent unique? I like her Texas drawl and fearless attitude. She lives outside of her comfort zone. She has accepted speaking sea creatures as her companions. I could communicate with a sponge, a starfish, a crab, a squid, and more. The fact that they build flaming campfires under the sea fascinates me. What's not to find funny? In the spirit of what-ifs, I'd like to be Lucy of I Love Lucy. Now that was a woman who never said never. She and I share a propensity to be clumsy, so I wouldn't have to fake that at all. Lucy often found herself in predicaments, but she made it out the other side to do it all over again. Her struggles did not lessen her spirit. Perhaps I could exchange lives with Norm or Cliff of the comedy show Cheers. How difficult could it possibly be to park my derriere on a bar stool and drink beer for hours at a time? I'd have a front row seat to the drama walking in off the street. What better location to observe people? I am a people watcher. I'd be considered as one of the bar's regulars and I could become a confidante to anyone who cozies up to the bar next to me. I'll admit to viewing my fair share of television programs. I'd be remiss not to mention Canadian content. I'd be delighted to be anyone in Corner Gas, or Schitt's Creek. Both of these shows showcased fantastic , loveable, and hilarious characters. In both of these series, everyone supported each other no matter how outrageous they could be. Spending a week with such casts would be an honour. |
