In response to "Truth and Lies"

You make some very good points here - I love this line -

As to lies being beautiful, they are like a woman who looks good only when she wears an intense make-up. This makes her appealing, only because she wears beauty like a costume.

When I read the quote however it made me think - Do people think truth is beautiful? Because in the society I am used to living in, we have to lie all the time, especially at work and especially when asked how you are. People do not usually want to hear the truth, they want to hear "fine thanks how are you" When someone annoys or upsets you, they want to hear "It's fine no worries". When someone asks "Are you okay with that" They want to hear yes even if you are not.

So, to my mind, lies are more beautiful to people than truth, because they are less of a challenge.....

Joy- Happy 2026!

In response to "John Wayne Said it!"

Reading, Spooky, StaiNed

In blog city, three of us come up with the prompts. Mostly we search for quotes on the web, then add our questions about that quote. Or we don't use a quote and only ask a question that we think is relevant to writing or to our lives. Then, we send the prompt to the group members and post it on the group's forum.

In response to "On Lottery Games and Such"

Amazing song and I love the musical, I do the Lottery sometimes, and although I don't necessarily expect to win it is about the dream I suppose, it isn't even necessarily about money, but it is the only way I can feasibly think I will get to do a job I don't hate and that would make me happier in life, so I wouldn't be wasting it wishing most of my days away!!

In response to "Anonymous in January"

Southeast Texas, here. The lowest I ever recall was 17 degrees, just a few years ago. That could have been rough, were not my husband so creative (And...having a Fireplace).

The last place we lived, when we first got married, did Not, and it came with my husband!

As I Needed more land, And...a fireplace, within a couple of years, I talked him into moving. Now, we have both. Aside from the neighbors dogs that run loose, and Dig up our yard, as they dig for moles...we truly enjoy the decision. Now, as we have FINALLY found a trap that works for the moles, we are hoping that the dogs lose interest in our yard.

In response to "Anonymous in January"

Thank you.
I'm in South FL. The worst temp dip here, was 30 degrees in the middle of the night, so far.
We don't have too cold days that go on and on like at North. I do miss the fireplace we had when we lived in NY, though.
Fireplaces in houses here are very rare. I don't think anyone has a fireplace in my neighborhood. Maybe they have those in mid and upper parts of the state, though.

Even in the south, we experience some extremely cold days, when having to be out in it. I do so Love my fireplace. It keeps me warm and cozy, and may be the only highlight of winter for me.

I enjoyed your poem!

In response to "My Mixed Report-Card for 2025"

Thank you! I wish you the best and everything wonderful and to your liking in 2026, also. This prompt felt quite difficult to write for because there are some issues I try to stay away from, also. Plus, I don't want to sound full of doom and gloom either.
