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.
I would've never guessed you to be an adrenaline junkie, Sandra. Way to go girl. I agree swallowing salt water isn't refreshing. As a child I loved swimming in the ocean, as an adult I think about all the stuff dumped it in.
You have lovely memories of your library. You must have lived close enough to go on your own. I loved my local library too. I went on Saturday morning with my dad.My favourite books were Little Women, What Katy did, Heidi, and any Dickens books.
Happy 10th WDC Anniversary, SandraLynn Team Florent!! I'm sorry I can't battle alongside with you, dear Florent. Go forth and go well! You are doing excellent!
WWAD-what would Andre do! Maybe he could get a 3D-printer, make bracelets with WWAD on them and sell them on the side.
We get our dogs braided rope toys to chew on and use dental sticks to help clean their teeth. Perhaps Andre would enjoy a nice braided chew rope, and if someone would make a banana flavored dental stick, he could use it for a swizzle stick in his drink and chew on after he downs it.
My grandgiggles now ask if I'm wearing bubble wrap when I venture forth for a meander/walk/stroll. I thought a clumsy monkey could be conceivable and that he'd be told the same thing I am. Be careful. What is that? Accidents happen, to me any way.
QueenNormaJeanGreeneggs&vegham You win! I've never been shot at, well, not directly. I once experienced the back window of my car being shot out as I drove along a highway. I believe it was a hunter's errant bullet. I wrote about us accident prone people. I refer to it as O.U.C.H. I believe I intended that to mean Our Unique Clumsiness Hurts. We create our own writing material.
Oh come on - I've had so many weird accidents - last one I swear I tripped on a feather. Broke 2 bones in my hand, cast for 4 weeks and now I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow. Cannot move the blasted hand at all.
Car accidents, been shot at, blew my knee getting into a truck. falling down drunk and waking up looking like a prize fighter when I had to go to a family funeral. I've had a few good ones.
May 16th Prompt: What do you do to make the world a better place? Wow, this is a heavy-weight question. What do I do? Am I a steward of Earth? Hmmm... Well, I do practise a few things and I don't know if they make a huge impact. I can only hope that my efforts are beneficiary when combined with those of others. I try to lessen the garbage I generate by actively recycling. Never do I dispose of cans, plastics,glass bottles and paper. I refuse to purchase 'bottled' water. I consider it a waste of resources to package this and far too many of those plastic 'bottles' become one-use abominations. All of my baking supplies and cooking spices are purchased in bulk from a store that permits me to utilize my own containers. I believe in reduce, reuse, and recycle. When I outgrow anything, be it clothing, furniture, cookware, or knick-knacks I find a new home for it. Some items are repurposed. In my youth when I could bend and carry weight with considerably more ease I toiled with a group of women to plant trees. At the time, I fed more than my fair share of voracious insects, but the sacrifice was minimal. I learned the meaning of blood,sweat, and tears. Contributing to the survival of those blackflies and mosquitos was purely incidental. Yuck, they are part of the food chain / life cycle, too. I consider trees precious. I fully support paperless transactions such as online payment of bills. I read on-line e-zines and news stories. In the summer, I maintain a small perennial garden with an assortment of plants that attract bees and butterflies. It's a win-win. I enjoy some colour and my 'guests' enjoy a meal. When feasible, I opt to walk and leave my vehicle parked at home. I refuse to drive everywhere and only do so when absolutely necessary. Alas, I cannot claim to operate an electric car, not yet anyway. Where I reside they are not practical, or affordable.Perhaps one day... As for people, I will stop, talk and listen to anybody. Everyone likes to share their stories. Over the years I've volunteered with different organizations that made me feel useful such as Girl Guides, our local fall fair executives, and varied schools. It takes the spirit of cooperation to make the world go 'round.
