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.
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.
I'm the accident-prone one around these parts - although most people would guess my most-used word falls into the "swear" category, it's actually "ouch."
Years back I dated a lady who was extremely accident prone. On one occasion she caught her dress pocket on a door handle as we exited the theater. She ripped her dress open, buttons popping off all over. Another time I stopped to pick her up for a dinner date. As we were exiting her apartment, she remembered her purse and rushed back in to grab it. She slipped on the floor and slid into the table, chipping her front tooth. On yet another outing while viewing some antique mining equipment, she climbed up on a big dump truck for a picture. She decided to jump down, but had caught her shirt on something and ripped it off!
Write about an object you own that has negligible monetary value, but is priceless to you. The Christmas when I could claim to be eighteen , my boyfriend surprised me with an engagement ring. He obviously hadn't heard my mother claim that Christmas engagements were considered bad luck. He'd only retired from competitive figure skating a few months before and still trying to decide what to do with his life and new free time. Paul himself was nineteen. He intended that I be a part of that future. He spent what precious scarce funds he had. No, really, this ring is not a piece of jewellery meant to dazzle and bankrupt the purchaser. At no point could I have hocked it to pay for a mortgage premium, or purchase a flash set of wheels. Well, okay, maybe I could've bought a new set of wheels, at the much-less-inflated cost forty plus years ago, but not the vehicle for them. This ring is tiny. First of all, I have tiny, child-size hands. My children have remarked that this ring looks like something meant to be a prize in a box of Cracker Jacks. Yes, it is gold, but the band fits no one else in my family. The single sparkling diamond is almost, but not quite miniscule. No one would refer to it as a rock, a chip of a rock perhaps. The thought of this gift is priceless. It represents a commitment, a promise. I did not require exorbitant bling to say yes. My future hubby believed in tradition, first an engagement and then a wedding. We married the following summer when we were both nineteen. About ten years ago, I drained the water from the kitchen sink only to discover that my diamond was missing. Fearing the worst and dreading its loss, I glanced into the strainer at the bottom of the sink and something caught my eye. There in a bubble, the errant diamond glistened. I scooped it out and carried it in my palm to my mate. I informed him that the engagement was off. He barely reacted. I suppose he wasn't worried that I'd pack up and move out. That band and stone resided in a dresser drawer for the better part of two years before I finally took them to a jeweller's for repairs. During that time, my left ring finger felt lighter, almost naked. I know it can't possibly weigh much, but I guess I missed its constant presence. Soon, we will celebrate our 42nd anniversary. Don't tell Paul, but I would've said yes without that engagement ring to seal the deal.
