“Wanna wrestle for it?” The big bully had Joe’s English paper in hand. The bully was always considered weird, but this was just mean. Joe spent hours writing that paper and now this guy was gonna take it!
“If you hand it over, I’ll help you guys write yours..”
The bully’s friends decided that was a great idea since all of their scores had to be good to pass this year. Problem solved.

Fandango’s Story Starter #251
I knew it would happen sooner or later, the whole “let yourself go” thing. They had begged, cajoled, threatened and even yelled that I could not keep it from happening. Instead, I ignored them, all of their warnings trying to frighten me. At least it felt like that…not really concern, but envy, maybe? Envious that I had not yet succumbed to it. And I don’t mean that in a bad way, honestly, I don’t. It’s just that I’ve seen too many wild personalities tamed, fantastic ideas stripped and used by others – others who had not given up, or in, maybe both.
Walking on the beach this morning, I suddenly felt weak, as if my brain decided to take the day off. I just sat down on the sand and cried.

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 06/16/2026
You see the images they provide
Example not obscured for your eyes
Who are they trying to keep out
Sitting in front of a screen with a pout?
The example above is perfectly clear
But actual captchas are no where near
They try to fool you to what end?
They put tiny images that sometimes blend
Into each other, all this a waste of time
Okay I’m done, I’m out of rhymes…

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #434
I think their thinking was a waste of time, Joe. A sugar high only lasts a short time. It’s shy, surprise at first, sneaks up on you, eventually disappearing altogether, causing a late letdown. You’d be silly to allow such a rough ride on your kidneys, Joe. Believe me, I need to coax you onto the right path for your overall health.

As always an optional gratitude section is included at the end.
Here are this week’s questions:
1. When buying a new home appliance, are you offered optional insurance cover (for additional cost) and if so do you take it? Yes
2. When purchasing something for the home, like a new TV, freezer, cooker, carpets, etc, do you pay outright or take terms? Depends on the amount
3. What is the worst purchase for the home you can remember? At the moment it is two different garbage cans that don’t fit the space I need so they’re sitting inconveniently in my bedroom space.😳🤨
4. For your family room/lounge, do you prefer couches, easy chairs, recliners or a mixture of seating arrangements. I have a mix right now since downsizing from another apartment.
Gratitude: I am grateful some medical tests for a loved one turned favorable. Yea!

Share Your World 15th June 2026
Life has its many ups and downs
Heads aplenty wear wealthy crowns
But I have too many bills
Causing many deathly ills
Soon I’ll be buried underground.

Laughing Along With A Limerick
I find it peculiar
A myth familiar
Seen in present days
A man’s impudent ways
He took a peek
From Pandora, a Greek
And opened the box, it
Let out the toxic
Speeches and rules
Put fear in schools
In our homes and streets.
the king rests
spring done summer comes
cover me
–
green vines dress me up
a necklace of leaves surround
contrasting black bark
–
I love this photo and subject☺️
