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.
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.
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."
Ah, Michael Jackson's Thriller. That catchy distinctive beat is now an ear worm, but not in the least annoying. Listening to it once again has called pleasant memories to the surface. I recall the fun of the video, basing it on a date at a movie theatre watching a horror film, and the fantastic dancing of the resultant zombies. It is playful and toys with a young woman's perception. Is her boyfriend a zombie, or did she dream of their frightening encounter? After all, he assured her "I'm not like other guys, I'm different." She anticipated a nice kind of different.What creative genius to use Vincent Price's unmistakable spooky voice as a narrator! He could produce a maniacal cackle / laugh, too. I love the nod to this famous horror movie actor with the marquee reading ' Vincent Price Thriller.' I wonder if he was aware of this homage? This song and its special effects video came out when my three kids were verifiable youngsters. They loved to sing and dance along with MJ. Over and over they attempted to recreate his signature moves and that iconic zombie shuffle. Stiff arms raised, bodies slouched, heads held tight to one side in a loll they squirmed and perfected their own zombie dance. Sometimes in their zeal furniture would be over turned, knees bruised, dogs' tails trampled. They never could look scary though. I'd bet they'd instantly assume those poses and shuffle today if they heard Thriller. They'd recognize the music as a reflex. Rewatching this video I noticed the lyrics more than I did at its release. I think it's safe to say MJ was a wordsmith. He painted vivid pictures with his lyrics. I'm singing these words as I type them. "You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it." Yes, that describes extreme fright. This song and dance belongs to Hallowe'en lovers worldwide. Who doesn't recognize it and entertain those nearby with their own zombie shuffle? What's not to like about make believe, dress-up, costumes, make-up and dancing? Mwaaahaha! ( 345 words )
