FFFC from Melissa

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
I have all the goods you need, from fruits to nuts and vegetable seeds. My load is heavy and quite the burden but it’s my life, all here, not hidden. Survive or fall is the motto for people like me who have no auto-matic income check arriving monthly, and I don’t expect that it will ever be for hardy workers such as me.

Do you still use cash to pay for goods? Rarely

Apart from a house, car or holiday, what is the most expensive thing you’ve purchased? Scooter

If you are going out for a special occasion, what is your favoured outfit? Usually a navy blue and white combo.

The Boss

Joe had gained a lot of weight and now he was just cumbersome. He had never been an athlete of any kind and now sitting in an office chair all day did not help. Every nibble seemed to strike a new mound on his already uncontoured shape. He seemed destined to just be in his office and vegetate while rumors flew as to “the bigwig fulfilled his name”. Joe resigned himself to their cruelty and opened the donut box again.

You cannot domesticate or customize a feline. You may pledge to do so, support or even promote the errant theory you are its master, but the cat will tease you with its magnetism. It will let you take its portrait, but after that, its animation changes, shattering any idea of thinking you have control over it. It may even leave you an aromatic gift in your slipper. The idea of controlling a cat is a fantastical dream.

Seasonal Stress

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

❤️🇺🇸👨🏻‍🏭🎃🦃🎄

Temps outside freezing

Inside we’re sneezing

Old ones are wheezing

It’s the colder season

*

Leaves are drifting

Clouds not lifting

Fog is sitting

Get out the knitting

*

Season turns colder 

Aching bones feel older

Squirrels getting bolder

Fireplace smolders

*

Halloween hovering

Christmas is shoving

Since July it’s been coming

Stores already humming

*

Seasons no more 

Based on nature’s core 

Rushed monthly scores 

Commercialized galore.

“Holiday creep is real. Halloween costumes fill store shelves in August, pumpkin-flavored everything is on the menu by Labor Day, and Christmas gifts and decor are everywhere a month before Thanksgiving. It often feels like too much, too soon.” http://www.nytimes.com
