When getting older
Some may say it bolder
“That sounds familiar”
Reminding of no filters
Memory falters making
Stories may have some faking
But think like this
Someday you will miss
Some old facts
In remembering old acts.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS October 10, 2026
Daily Post Prompt: Argument
Formerly known as: My Way or the Highway
I enjoy a good, friendly argument. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to be “Johnny on the Spot” when I think I know about something, quickly open my mouth, and out it comes, my opinion. Growing up in my family everything was either black or white, no in-between. It took a lot of experience to realize there are many colors in the world which make life interesting. If mom found us kids arguing, she never wanted to hear excuses. We were wrong, no matter who “started it”, and she got after us both. If you hesitated to explain, you were sent to the yard to get a switch. A reasonable explanation for this is she didn’t have the time to listen to us fighting over who did what or why. Since my dad was the head of the household in every respect, none of our family members argued. There was no talking back unless you were extremely brave, or foolish and wanted to suffer the consequences. He liked to argue with others, but not the immediate family.
I prefer calling it a discussion. I enjoy listening to people and hearing what they think on all types of matters.
The challenge this week is to look within.
You will have fun in watching how AI understands or misunderstands your life. I’m sure it will generate both reflective and comical moments.
Share your response to the good, bad or average job that AI has done.
Use any AI that you are comfortable with. ChatGPT, Copilot and Midjourney can all do a decent job.
Comment below if you have any concerns or query about the same.
There is no restriction on the length of the piece. There is no deadline unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.
We will not include offensive or vulgar posts, or posts that hurt ordinary sensibilities. This needs to be a safe space.

I am a two time cancer survivor, I am in a wheelchair, and I just celebrated my 80th birthday, so I am a Virgo and the sign suits me. I lived on a dairy farm in Vermont from three to fourteen and that has shaped my personality. As a child I was free to roam our beautiful two hundred acres with forest, hills and streams. I loved all the animals and country atmosphere. I still have a big imagination and writing here is an adventure. Having four definite seasons was a gift, but now living in Wyoming, they are short. It’s a lot of freezing wind, but so far this year, we’re still having summer temps. Happy autumn everyone!

Azul do not climb this tree

I couldn’t see you in there
leaves beautiful but too dense

Introducing an Eight-Year-Old Artist!
I don’t like spiders no no no
I’d rather they all froze in the snow
They’re scary they’re hairy they are no friend of mine
In fact they send chills up my spine
So don’t name those friends that won‘t leave your party
And turn into a host that’s also a smarty
Get yourself a cat, they hate spiders too
And one quick smack it will give it a shoo!

Original French Version

Crisp Autumn Weather
The plan was to wake Sue and make her shake in her boots! But it must have been the shock of it all because Sue sat up, pulled on her pants and with a brave smile walked right out the door with her hands in her pockets and yelled, “that’s a sad attempt at scaring me, Joe!”
