Now who can pass up a prompt word like that?
Looking for a steam punk costume which they don’t rent here or one in a costume shop which again, they don’t have here, we are actively looking to zhuzh up something we already own. Since this is the fourth activity in October that needs some zhuzching, we are getting desperate😂. So far we’ve seen examples like these:
Trying to achieve looks like this using something we already own 😳😂
And it’s not even Halloween yet😂
“Going to the club?” Joe asked Mike on their way out of the office.
“Uh, not tonight, probably not ever again.”
Joe stopped and looked at him, “why not, did something happen?”
“Yeah, well no, well, you know what Joe, they’re just not my kind of people anymore”, as he stood by his opened car door.
Joe motioned for Mike to join him and they bypassed the club and went to a coffee shop to talk.

Superimpose? I see what you’ve done
Making it appear you’re number one
I suppose the vast majority
Not the enlightened minority—
These days at least
Refuse to see the beast
The lurking one hiding there
Behind trees waiting, as if a bear
So when elected, the truth is revealed
Showing yourself, your evil no longer concealed.
Weekend Writing Prompt #279- Superimpose
Often used in my family growing up and now with my friends and extended family, this phrase always puts a smile on my face. I know, crazy, but it’s the little things…
Today I looked it up because as kids we said it playing Cowboys and Indians and before anyone tries to correct my PC, I know you may not like to hear it but we were not brought up racist or rude. We grew up with the concept because our father grew up in the west with great respect for Native Americans.
Here are a couple of interesting articles about the phrase from http://www.npr.org. I prefer the second one, how cool is that one? I love words and phrases and their origins.
“The first time “long time, no see” appeared in print was in the 1900 Western “Thirty-One Years on the Plains and in the Mountains, Or, the Last Voice from the Plains An Authentic Record of a Life Time of Hunting, Trapping, Scouting and Indian Fighting in the Far West, by William F. Drannan. That last part of the novel’s very long title is relevant here, as it gives a good indication of the kind of story Drannan wanted to tell.”
“The second widely accepted etymological explanation is that the phrase is a loan translation* from the Mandarin Chinese phrase “hǎojǐu bújiàn”, which means exactly “long time, no see.””

“Give me that slipper! Go play with the rubber hotdog, watch out for my hibiscus! You’re always in a run! Oh, you know I love you, such a sweet puppy, but my fiery temper is not to blame. You need instruction from an obedience class. Then maybe can be friends”.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “me.” Find a word that starts with “me” or use the word “me” as the theme of your post. Have fun!
You wouldn’t want to be me today. I’m tired and cold, not even a wink of sleep last night and why? No idea😳. I hope your start of the weekend fares much better👍🏻👋🏻.

This week’s theme is HOBBIES AND PASTIMES
Your final three words for this week and September are:
TRAVEL
FLYING
DIVING
***
How would you like to travel
Let your present world unravel
As you’re flying on a slipstream
Or diving in an ocean dream
You may travel anywhere at will
Your imagination has the skill
Walk, run, dive…just try
Let your imagination fly.

This is a song from the series “Friday Night Lights” which I am enjoying this week. Life in a small town in TX where football is king is true to life.
