 |    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 9th prompt : Write about language. What do you wish you could speak? What's the most pleasant sounding accent? What's the funniest word in the English language ( or your native language)? Whew, so many questions today. My brain is whirring. This feels like an English exam. Is this a trick query? Are there funny /strange / weird English words? Of course there are! I salute any one learning to speak, write and navigate this contrary language. Rules, what rules? 'I' before 'e' except after 'c.' Weird. Pronunciation, shmunciation.Cough does not rhyme with dough. Shoe does rhyme with blue and two and stew. Then there is hi, hie, and high. Never mind the different meanings of words that sound alike. Utterly mind-boggling and I grew up with this language. Does the perfect accent exist? Si. I love the Spanish accent. It is musical, magical and it rolls off the tongue. It would be wonderful to become fluent in it.I'd combine my new smooth talkin' with trips where it'd be appreciated. Hasta la vista amigos! |
