Time to watch this again.

Looking at a recipe for pumpkin bread and clicking on it to see a disgusting ad featuring what looks like a decimated foot. Am I the only one who is sick of these gross ads displayed everywhere?? And in a recipe that’s supposed to encourage you to make the recipe and eat it?

Needless to say I just clicked off. When did it become necessary to advertise someone’s personal, supposedly private malady in “full living color”?

Is there possibly any internet site that doesn’t have these? Here on WP we have them. Last time I checked my own blog there was one ad and it was fine. However I noticed some followers had commented on old blog posts and saw there were four in a row.

I accept the fact companies need ads but please, be polite. These repellant, nauseating ads just find me vowing never using whatever product they are selling.

🤢🤢🤢

Back of the fridge is a place I can’t see and moving it is out of the question. In fact the idea of what dust may be on top of the fridge is also a mystery. Now inside is a different story as this new apt has a bright, lighted interior so things are not hidden. It is disappointing that the freezer part has no light and it’s so high I actually have to throw a loaf of bread etc into it if I buy more than one. There’s no handle or reliable thing to hang on to momentarily while searching that space and of course the freezer door is tempting to hold but as Sophia of Golden Girls said, “picture it”🙄🫣

It started out as a transition

When I made a stupid decision

What could it hurt? I said to myself

While waiting love that sits on that shelf

I thought hard about it for a long while

Enjoying the looks, mischievous smile

I’m a sucker for that, you probably know

So I ended up staying when I should have let go

Can you think, stop and think? my brain was pleading

But I ignored it, and I hadn’t even been drinking!

I couldn’t refuse, I freely admit it

Maybe thought I could outwit him?

Whatever, it matters not now—

The why, the when, and even the how

I screwed up, we all know, now sadly

But it was only love that I wanted so badly

And I ended up in that compromising position

While I was committed, he was only fishing.

I wrote a story instead.🙃

The knife came out, almost as if on its own, like a horrific memory of something he did in his past. Suddenly aware it was there in his hand, gleaming silvery sharp and lethal. He tried to fold it, put it back in his pocket. He didn’t want to ever hold it again. He didn’t even want it in his pocket but no matter where he tried to put it, it found it’s way back into his pocket. He tried to joke it off saying, well at least it’s folded shut when it lands in there, but he was actually terrified.

The paranormal psychiatrist just kept a silent steady nonplussed gaze at her notes. It seemed she really wasn’t listening to him at all.

“This isn’t a dream, Dr. Nough, it is really happening. Look, can’t you see it?” Joe placed the knife close to the doctor’s arm and insisted she stop writing and look at it. Her nonchalance cued an odd feeling in him and he stepped closer. Now the knife was in control. It quickly sliced a long curve into the doctor’s neck. “See? I told you, it’s not a dream, it’s happening!”

An attendant grabbed Joe as he was calmly walking down the hospital corridor. “This isn’t my fault”, he said to the guard, “I told her it was happening.”

1. Set up a timer or sit near a clock so you can keep track of the six minutes you will be writing.
2. You can either use one of the prompts (photo or written) or you can free-write.
3. Get ready and write for 6 minutes, that is it! Can you write a complete story? Can you think of a new Sonnet? Can you write 400 words? 400? 500? There are no restrictions on what kind of writing you do, but you should try to be actively writing for six minutes.

steadying the wand

saying the words like “hocus”

focused her aim saying “pocus!”

It was really hard putting these words into haiku form😵‍💫
