I hate crutches, they make my armpits and shoulders both hurt. And I've almost fell down the stairs trying to navigate with them more than once.

Nice job!

In response to "Old Dog. New Tricks"

That's so funny. It's also true of cats. My older cat won't climb up but now that our kitten does, he's been climbing and exploring places he never did before. Sometimes they just need the right incentive.

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.

Forty minutes of hell.

PROMPT July 4th

What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?

This would be my worst nightmare. I hate public speaking.
But if, on pain of death, I was forced to stand up and speak for forty minutes, I suppose I would have to. So, what could I entertain you with? Mmm, let’s see. I know, I’d be able to keep you enthralled with all the things that went wrong whilst we were travelling.

“Pitfalls for the innocent traveller” I’d call the presentation, complete with photographs.
There would be a picture of me, sleeping sitting up, in a third class train carriage with hundreds of other passengers in India, instead of lying down in a soft bed in first class. That was caused from “someone”🤔 missing the train.
Then another of me in hospital with an injured leg after being in a bicycle accident in Thailand.🤕

This photograph of me sheltering from flying debris in a category four Cyclone in the Philippines, as a truck goes by on two wheels, is sure to encourage travellers to check the weather.

How about this picture of my poor husband in bed for a week in Vietnam with food poisoning? A warning not to order the crab soup.

Seems like South East Asia is a destination to avoid. But then may I cheer you up with photos of the good times?

Is the time up? Thanks for listening🥵
