In response to "Is there an answer?"

People here in the United States were warned about climate change years ago. Our Vice President in 1993, Al Gore, was an environmentalist. He talked incessantly about the issue warning something needed to be done to avoid destroying our planet. People laughed at him denying there was any such problem. He was right, they were wrong. I need to answer this prompt if I have time today. Have a good one!

In response to "Love "

59 years is incredible.

I can't imagine a love that intense either. And I'm very much in love with my husband. It's my second marriage, we've been together 20 years and married 16 years. If I had foolishly stayed in my first marriage it would have been 50 years. I left him before our 30th.

I've read a lot of his sonnets and wondered the same thing about the woman. I didn't realize there were 100 of them Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

that's a lot of mushy stuff.

I'm sorry I knew that but blanked it out with all the chaos. Good luck with the Surgery!

I’m not involved in GOT Lyn. I have surgery next week and will be missing in action fora week or so. I just reviewed Lilly’s contribution last night.

I have never been able to embroider, though I tried valiantly in youth - a lovely skill.
That's heartbreaking, your shrunken jumper gift -

In response to "Love "

There are different types of love. Her in the western colony we obsess with romantic/sexual love. The sex, however, must never be directly shown; we're cultural prudes.

Neruda wrote 100 sonnets for his future wife.

I mostly love (pine) from afar.

In response to "Love "

Hi, enger
I wonder how many sonnets Neruda wrote. She must have been quite a gal!
Love is such a complex concept. What is love? The oft asked question to which no one has an answer. Would it be to sacrifice oneself to save another? I can accept a parent might do that to save a child. However that reminds me of the time I caught my ten year old son poking a lighted stick into a jerry can of petrol. I screamed, “don’t do that!” And I ran from the garage! So much for a mother’s love.

I believe Neruda was writing sonnets to his wife; although, I don't doubt your viewpoint. I remember falling in love 57 years ago. I was 14. But 'love' has never gotten me anywhere, other than helping me survive.

In response to "April days"

My husband tells me that I'm pessimistic too, but I believe realism is more like it.

It is indeed very true about the saddest child.

Inventive

PROMPT July 11th

Imagine what the world would be like today if humans had never discovered/invented _________ (fill in the blank).

Well as someone who has experienced life without the internet I know what the world would be like today if it had never been invented.
Over 50% of the population of the world use this invention nowadays so obviously the take up for this has been massive.
An integral part of this non invention would be in communication. There would be an increase in postal mail and phones. We’d simply have to go and actually talk to friends and family. 😱 People would crack out pens and paper, licking stamps and writing letters, paying bills etc.
On line businesses would no longer exist of course, and customers would buy locally enriching our local towns and shops.
One thing which would be a blessing as far as I’m concerned Is we’d be more focused on what is happening around us locally. Instead of being bombarded with news about every disaster as it happens all over the world. Sometimes ignorance is bliss
We would not be heading to a cashless society as is happening now. Many stores and business since COVID, are only accepting payments by card.
We would and could survive. We’d adapt if it suddenly disappeared.
