had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.
Watt's Gnus (18+) On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason. #1439092 by Kåre เลียม Enga
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
Blogville (XGC) Where bloggers meet and greet to read and share. No required prompt. Alias: blogville. #2253938 by Kåre เลียม Enga
is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.
Lots of things checked . That's good, right? Or did you just list those checked? Doesn't matter. Sounds like reasonably good trip. Relax now and recover.
At least the Lions made it forward. The first time since 1991.
It was a winter 80 here with cool shadows. Started with rain by the shore that washed out to sea. The sun tried to dodge the clouds all day, but it was a losing battle. Did flash green as it ducked goodbye heading your way.
SandraLynn You capture the purpose of this blog. Balance is elusive for me. If I'm depressed I can see my accomplishments. If I'm smug I can see the pain. If I think I haven't lived... I must admit that I once was alive.
Ah, this is life, the mundane mixed with moments of wonder. We need to eat so ,we think about it, prepare for it, do it. We need to socialize so, we seek it out wherever we can find it. Sometimes, we need to wander without any goals or purpose. We observe. We marvel. We breathe. Not everything requires scheduling.
My answer to the QotD What products or services do feel spending more money on are justified?
I can live on rice. Calories count when you are striving to survive. Healthy ain't healthy when you're starving.
Shelter. I've slept on the floor, I've slept on a 2" mattress on the floor. Heat/cold can be endured when you are dry and safe.
If food and shelter can be reduced to the minimum then everything else can be dispensed with.
I now have a bed and mattress that are new to me. Very comfortable. If one can afford comfort then a good mattress should be a priority as your back matters and a good night's rest matters.
Shoes were mentioned. My feet are having issues and I've had diabetic friends for whom proper shoes were a godsend. I'll have to consider splurging as the best form fitting shoes are fitted to the individual foot and therefore useless second hand.
I'd also add privacy. I compromise when I travel and two years of homelessness was brutal so I speak from experience. At times I've been able to afford my own room when traveling (a fond memory of Novi Pazar and Fukuoka). I have a small place at a cheap price that has allowed me to travel. I'd have to share any place with normal rent. Here, I can sit in my room with the light off (or on) without having to answer to anyone. Privacy can be priceless.
Today's trinket is brought to you be Jimminycritic and Elsa. Cats and other pets may be considered a necessity for many but a stray or rescue animal is just as priceless as a pure bred.
