Thoughts, we all have them. What is yours?

What is on your mind? I love all type of topics and will talk about almost anything! So, what is happening with you lately?

Come, tell me about yourself. What excites you about writing? What other things do you do: Art, music, animals?

Sorry you had that crappy experience, but glad it was all reinstated relatively quickly.

In response to "Insurance Companies"

I think that we received a notice a while back, that ours increased. My husband searched and searched and searched the file cabinet where he likes to keep everything orderly and in its place. We never found the contract. After finally reaching them, they told us that they do not send a paper contract...it would have been through email.

Sure enough...after much searching through emails that are rarely used, we found it. At this point, my husband had lost his patience (as he does with this type of thing), said that they were incompetent, and quickly changed companies...sigh.

I pray that your experience turns out better.

In response to "Blogging"

I wouldn't claim giftedness...by any means. Of course, nor am I as busy as you are, at least over the summer. Being a teacher, I am out for the summer, and reading and writing are my only true hobbies. Well, and gardening, but aside from a flower garden, we have not taken on anything grander in a couple of years.

However...one of my greatest struggles to blogging at all, much less daily, has been (what I thought was) a need to have something of import to share. What I have discovered though, is that if I just sit down and start typing, even if it is about having nothing to write about, it soon turns into a blog that I am satisfied with, if no one else.

I have been known to sit in front of my laptop, whiling away the hours, fretting over what to blog about. Well...I ended that time!wasting endeavor, and just began to write.

If you are feeling up for a push, of sorts, and lots of great prizes, and meeting new bloggers, the "30-Day Blogging Challenge" begins again in September, after a long hiatus. We would love to see you there!

In response to "Termites"

Oh, dear! Yes, that is a problem to address immediately. I will keep good thoughts that your treatment did the job. I wouldn't want to have to spend $1900 either. Very good point about termites eating plastic instead. That would be so much better!

In response to "Prompt #F219"

Very creative story for the prompt. I could picture the garden and the pieces in my mind. Nice touch with the snickering at the end, as if it was all a game to the statues. Your story made me think of the chess game in the Harry Potter movie and also the movie Toy Story.

In response to "Prompt #54"

Thanks for your comments. I agree, I believe taste and smell are closely connected. We catch a smell of french fries, fried chicken, what happens - we salivate; at least I do. Also, as I think more on it, seeing a picture of a ice cream cone makes me want to go get one, especially on a hot day.

Interesting reflections - and beautiful descriptions of all the things you love seeing. I think losing your sense of smell would also affect your sense of taste, unfortunately, as they are so closely interlinked.

I'm with you on the not wanting to lose my sense of sight. I'm such a visual person, that would be terrible. I love music, movies, good food, etc. This would be a really tough call.

In response to "Changing Medications"

It IS so hard to determine which doctor should one listen to. I'm going through that very issue now regarding my subsequent treatment after cancer surgery with my Oncologist from the VA, an Oncologist from the University of Missouri who completed the surgery, and an Oncologist from the University of Kansas Cancer Center, all of whom have opinions regarding any on-going treatment. Who to believe?

Meanwhile, time passes by.

I pray your husband's doctors get on the same sheet.

In response to "Blog Harbor #29"

I go to market on Saturdays, and usually stop in M-F at the Senior Center. Wednesdays is 10% off at the grocery store. I tend to do my washing every two weeks on a Sunday or Monday. I watch Thai programs on youtube. I write something every day. When I had a garden I would be working in it until I couldn't see.

My life is "smaller" these days. I consider getting out of bed "productive".

Insurance Companies

Insurance Companies

I am MAD! I received in the mail a letter from my home insurance company stating that my home insurance has lapsed. The date of the lapsed was July 17. I received the letter on July 24, a Friday afternoon. I immediately called the insurance company but it appeared all went home for the day. The letter itself was dated three days after the lapsed? Not at anytime did I received a phone call? I had no intention to allow it to lapsed. If they had called me, I would have taken care of payment immediately. Now I have to wait till Monday morning to address the issue. No courtesy here.

When I got the letter, I immediately pulled my file to see if I wrote a check. I did not find a copy of the most recent home insurance, which they always send with request of payment. I am thinking they didn't send the contract for me to sign and that is why I did not send a check. Months went by and I forgot about it. After all, it is only something I pay once a year.

In any case, I am hoping they will reinstate the policy without penalty. Worst scenario, I go to another company, meanwhile, my home is uninsured, still in hurricane season in Florida.

Blogging

July 11, 2026

How do you all do so well in your daily blogging? I have tried to keep a schedule and it just never seems to work out. I marvel at those who can "stick to it". Maybe it is the desire that I lack. I want to but do I want to enough? It has been two months since I have blogged; embarrassing!

I have several interest and I guess my writing is not at the very top of that list. At least, I am showing that it isn't by not keeping to a schedule. I would appreciate any advice that my fellow writers care to share. I love getting my thoughts down, love to play with my watercolors, love to bang on the piano, play cards with a group twice a week and on Fridays, try my luck at karaoke. That really isn't a lot, I don't think. I do have a hubby and a very small, chunky, angry marshmallow Chihuahua Mix dog called Little Guy. So we do keep busy. But, in any case, I just can't seem to keep at it.

What say you gifted bloggers?
