 |    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. |
| May 25th Prompt: Write about the most exciting, odd, or valuable thing you've found on the ground or abandoned on the side of the road. Invent a story about where the object came from and who owned it before you found it. "Dang Darren. What's that wobblin' up there on top of your bald head?" "Oh this? Ya know that ditch on over by Wilson's Woods? I found this discarded brain just alyin' there. I picked it up, gave it a spit and polish, and plunked it atop ma melon." "A brain? Cool beans! Whatcha gonna do with it? Do ya think it's worth somethin'?" "I dunno, it's the first brain I ever seen. It looks hardly used. Who woulda tossed out a perfectly good brain? Remember the two batteries we threw in your truck? Mebbe I can have extra spark." "Oooo,it's kinda squishy. Did ya feel that poke? Are ya mind meldin' like them Star Trek freaks?" "Noooo, I felt nothin'. Wait, wait, that aint right." "Darnit Darren, you're rubbin' up agin that tree pretty dang hard. Your back man, it's scratched up real good. Now whatcha doin'? Where'd ya learn to skedaddle up a trunk like that? I dunno, man. I wouldn't swat at that bee hive if'n I was you. Them bees sound pissed." "Eeeyaaa!! Whooee, now that's a thumpin'. Who said somethin' about bein' out on a limb? I aint never had a hunkerin' fer honey before. Hey, ouch!" "Drop an' roll Darren! No, don't flap. Them bees are buzzin' mad. Roll buddy, roll. That's it, git in that water. Bees can't swim, right?" |
