One-Liner Wednesday – Day One is in the Bag
Author: rugby843
I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

Fandango’s Story Starter
This week’s Story Starter teaser is: When Ida discovered that she could hear the voices of the dead speaking to her when she tuned into a certain radio station, she decided to…
tune in every hour. She said missed her husband so much and just being able to hear his voice again would be be wonderful. She called the station to see if they could request a certain voice to hear.
Of course my dear! It’s only $100 a minute to speak to them, that is if they choose to speak to you, too!
Ida said his name was Joe Schmo and they seemed to respond immediately.
Apparently Joe has been waiting for your request!
Ida waited and then she suddenly heard her late husband’s voice: “I was wondering if you would try to contact me—and if you think I’m giving you the combination to that old safe, forget it! It’s your fault I “fell” down those basement steps! By the way, it took you five days to find me? Uh huh. Go to hell, Ida!

Simply Six Minutes
And So it Began
Hurry up, my wife cooked a pot roast for tonight and I can’t wait!
You know what the mayor said, get the body in there and cover it up quick!
But isn’t this crazy? All the guy did was show up in a dress at the bar. Almost everyone there knew him and even liked him! So why all the covering up and fuss?
Why all the fuss? You would want to see a guy in a dress in a bar?
Well if he’s brave enough to do it then why not? Who really cares anyway? So he’s wearing a dress? You know those guys down in the Irish pub? Every year they dress up in kilts to celebrate their clan heritage. No one seems to take offense at that!
What’s a kilt? Is that a dress?
No, it’s a blanket fashioned into a skirt of sorts.
I guess it was just this guy’s poor luck that he was beaten to death.
Poor luck? Apparently he didn’t realize the the mayor’s henchmen’s were there. Sorry, whoever you were. Shovel faster, I want to get home and forget this nasty business.

Here are this week’s questions:
- What colour are you wearing today? I’m wearing a green print top and light gray leggings.
- Will you be cooking lunch today, having something cold, or going out to eat? I will make a tuna romaine salad.
- Does hot weather drain your strength or agree with you? I’m rarely out in hot weather, inside I stay cool.
- Do you have air conditioning in your property? I have a/c but rarely use it. At night it sometimes comes on but I have a ceiling fan I use.
Gratitude: Today I am hoping for good news from my sister’s doc. She was just diagnosed with three cancers and may not be able to have treatment. It makes me grateful to be as healthy as I am.
I have no idea why when a color of font is chosen that it shows up only on certain words🤓WP🤨

The Sunday Whirl
I wasn’t as fit as I had been and started to feel miserably tired and lightheaded. Venturing higher in the wooded area I was now too tired. I thought to myself you are nuts going off on your own and then my throat agreed as I gulped water from an aluminum bottle attached to my backpack.
A riddle came to me as I leaned back on a large rock. “Into the forest I go to lose my mind and fill my soul” by John Muir. I guess that’s what I was doing, or trying at least. I did find a peace of sorts, it was so quiet there, even the birds seemed to be napping.
Suddenly a loud bang and I sat up quickly. I thought I heard a tiny whimper close by and saw a fawn laying in the grassy enclave. The deer was obviously suffering as blood spurted out near its jaw. I looked up to see a grown man near, obviously the shooter, seemingly blind to the harm he inflicted.
“What rights do you have to harm this innocent baby deer?” I yelled at the man who appeared nonchalant.
“You’re lucky I didn’t get you instead!” And then incredibly, he swung the fawn over his shoulder and walked off. I stood there for a moment, shocked, and then hurriedly made my way back to my car.
