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.
Happy 22nd Birthday WDC September 1st Blog reply : Why is WDC still a good writing community? It's prospered for twenty-two years and is still standing. All, including me, are welcome. WDC has maintained an address that is accessible to all. The lights are always burning, the welcome mat rests by the front door, there are no locks to discourage entrance, and its always humming with activity. There are no time restrictions, day or night, stroll on in. I'm encouraged to wander in, take a seat and participate. Don't be shy. Introduce yourself. Try something. Wander amongst the many rooms. Relax and read. Feel free to comment and ask questions. Join in the discussions. Create and attempt to write. Share. Everyone and their creative process is acceptable. Community means inclusion, cooperation, acceptance, to me. We are all neighbours that support each other. When we write we seek validation. We also seek assistance/help. There will always be someone with the needed tools and expertise to lend a hand. Word by word, brick by brick, review by review we are building a writing community. Anyone can saunter by and take a peek. Sometimes, we falter at the foundation. Sometimes, we struggle with the shape, the size, the scope of our writing. There exist so many ways to decorate and add colour, flourishes. Our creations are stored and kept safe. If we alter the plans, the originals remain to be reworked, inspected, fortified. I like that WDC is a self-serve site.If I wish to explore solo so be it. If I decide to communicate, comment, indulge I may. I can choose how, when or if I'll contribute. Like home, WDC is always available and waiting for me to return should I stray. There is no nagging, no fuss, no recriminations. With this online birthday party I can opt to stand in a quiet corner observing, or I can get out and mingle.Or I may be late to the celebration without causing a scene.(329 words)
