Hi, zLyn, thankyou. I’d forgotten I’d written this story until you took the tour to Coober Pedy. What a strange place. Thank you, I hope everyone enjoyed it there and at least found an Opal to take home.

Change occurs when we least it expect it. I know for me seeing the world again through my children's lives helped me grow as I'm sure it did you. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.

In response to "Tricky words"

It's no different than my four children, politics are better not mentioned.

We had a nuclear power plant in Maine, the alarms would go off and it felt like death every time it happened. My first husband worked there quite often as a machinist and there were too many incidences where he had absorbed to much radiation and would have to wear special suits and walk for hours to sweat out the excess. Sometimes it would take over a week that he and co-workers were kept in isolation rooms until they were safe. Nuclear power plants come with more risks than they tell people.
The one in Maine had to be closed and sealed because of the reactor cracking. So many families in that area had cancer afterwards, it's terrifying what lies ahead.

Maybe Australia is luckier than we are here in the USA. Mining and exporting uranium is something, but the danger of it when put to use is another. As you said, "I’ve found it’s best to not get into political discussions with anyone." Imagine me with two sons who are the exact opposites of each other in every sense of the word. I always walk on eggshells.

I hope you get to go in person someday! It's still possible.

Though I hear there are amazing waterfalls in Australia.

In response to "Niagara Falls"

I agree with SandraLynn Team Florent!

Niagara in the winter is spectacular. I went in February, we stayed at the Embassy Suites and our windows overlooked the falls. I saw it at night from the hotel and in the day did the stroll down to see it closer. The boat wasn't going when we were there. My husband wasn't thrilled about the temperatures but the sight was incredible. There's also a butterfly house not far from the falls that is so worth seeing. I couldn't believe how many butterflies surrounded us while we there.

I hope you find a way to get there, you won't be disappointed.

Busting

You are desperate to use the bathroom. But, you share this with several others. It's down the hall (waaaay down the hall), and it's cold despite the heat being set to the 'normal' temperature. Being an older person, your legs and ability to hold it ain't what it used to be. How do you handle this dire situation?

Well really it’s a no brainer. I’m old enough to know about toilets being waaaay down the backyard, never mind being down the hall.
What did folks do then, especially in the middle of the night and the snow is six inches deep?
Has everyone heard about a chamber pot? Also known as a guzunder (goes under the bed)
Maybe the receptacle you would have to utilise in this prompts scenario isn’t made for purpose but I’m sure one could find something? When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go.

Bringing in the hay.

PROMPT November 10th

Your neighbor’s hay crop is ready to harvest. Everyone in their family is sick and their Combine is broken. How do you respond to this situation?

Is my Combine still working? Well, hopefully I would have the time in between getting my own hay crop in to bring in my neighbours too. Whatever I’ve heard about the farming community then there wouldn’t be a farmer who would watch a neighbours harvest go to waste. They pull together, for who knows who’s the next to need help. It may be me?
Looking at this prompt makes me think of my neighbourhood. I know there are at least three of my close neighbours who would come to my aid if so needed. It goes without saying my husband and I will help anyone who needs us to help. No man is an island, as the saying goes. We all need help from others at sometime.
