Left-overs piled on hot rice and mixed.

At home in Thailand we do something similar. At home, we make rice and top it with whatever we didn't finish from the last meal.

I finally decided to use June 2022's entries for my responses to other bloggers' entries. I tend to do this daily anyways and post in my weekly 'catch-all' blog (added to every day} "Porthole"

Well, if I have bruised you, I sincerely apologize. It definitely wouldn't have been on purpose. It does hurt me when all Christians are described as being intolerant and hateful.

I'd prefer to associate more with kind, loving people too.

🐱 panther pwheeler In rereading my post, it does seem harsh. But... I was deeply scarred growing up. And... people still bruise me (unwittingly and on purpose).

Either act like a _____ or stop calling yourself one... could be applied to many labels we attach to ourselves. Many individuals are a good _____ in some ways but still need to work on themselves (a work in progress). That applies to old geezers like me as well. I keep learning most every day (traveling helps).

It's not fair to divide humanity and attach labels (ying/yang is a good way to present the notion that discrete black/white is an illusion). BUT...

I'd prefer to associate more with kind loving people. I meet them everywhere I go.

"Every day is special... to someone. " True, and I like that.

Not all Christians have the negative characteristics you associate with them. Some are truly living what Jesus Christ preached - a life of loving God and others. I'll call these people true Christians. They aren't perfect, but their intentions should be clearly those of loving kindness and not hate.

I wish that those who claim to be Christians but are not acting in a loving way would either repent and become loving, or realize that they aren't actually Christians at all and stop contributing to t his false impression of true Christians.

In response to ""Happy to meet you again" Bard's Hall Entry #12 June 2024"

Wraithy WiԎchy of Woe! My traumas are small, my tragedies not unique... but they're mine (can't even give them away). My need to write and journal stems from unresolved issues. But... once the pen or pencil is put on a piece of paper... thoughts and images become words. That's the real power of writing. Where my words end up is not up to me. I think of old diaries... what a pleasure it would be to read them.

I wonder what I'll write about next year.

In response to ""Happy to meet you again" Bard's Hall Entry #12 June 2024"

Kåre เลียม Enga Your entries are filled with deeply personal discoveries, and coping with loss along the way. It paints a huge picture of your life page after page.

I'm still in awe of how much you have been able to accomplish in spite of the traumas and tragedies. I believe your words will live on.

Thank you for entries in the June Blogging contest. They had a way of gripping us readers in a profound way. I agree about the tagging in the entries. It made it so much easier to find and to respond quicker.

Thank you!

Squid running amok through the Hall of Trophys

I miss old contests that stretch my poetic mussels (not a typo... on porpoise) and made me think like an octopus in a jar... how the hell... do I get out of here?

I'm eating squid with rice today. I added onion, garlic, carrots, mushrooms (enokitake). A bit bland but bland will do this fiercely hot afternoon.

It's hazardous to go out due to heat and pollution.

Time to enter a contest? Write a little? This old body wants to take a nap... and there's no one stopping me.

To Nutty Puppy Mummy Mwah-ha-ha: One I can add to my collection [re merit badge]. I really appreciate earning merit badges. I already entered this round [of Shadows & Light] but need to find one for the next. Still hoping that Taboo and Verdant come back some day. They both served a purpose. Is it time? or gps? or lack of interest? or lack of judges? Oriental is another contest (not yours... but...) that would be worth restarting.

innerlight: It's poetry month!

I'm cooking vegetable rice with pickled squid at the moment. It may be finished.

I exercised this morning in the humid heat. Now 97° at noon. We could use rain but a week of 100+ and not a drop in sight.

Thunder and stormy tomatoes? My eyes... have seen the gory...

I can walk up and down the hot hall here but it's too toasty with bad air to do my regular walking outside. Movement is life. Keep moving.

To tracker: Breathe. Choose one task and do it. Breathe again. When you're calm... do another.

This is why I seldom enter month-long contests. They frazzle my nerves and that can aggravate my mood swings. For me, at this age, I do what I can. I cannot promise to meet other people's expectations.

I thought about GoT but I'm not a big fan of the series. I'd be from some minor house in the fields around Florent or on a small unimportant island. We common folk have stories too; just stories that never make the histories of kings and kingdoms. That said, I'm a dragon 🐉, but more like a blue-green (azure?) dragonet (fire-lizard) of Pern.
