MLMM Saturday Mix

***

Another attempt failed, what did you expect? I’m a schlimazel! They call it a sprint, but who can sprint at my age? And mount a hurdle? Don’t be a mashugana! Now I can flounder in a warm jacuzzi for a bit if it’s not too hot, but become a geriatric athlete? Oy vey! I’m too old to adjust. Meanwhile how bout I fix you a nice bowl of soup?

****no offense meant to anyone with this post- I love Yiddish words♥️

Mystery of the Allen Wrench

You can’t get a more intriguing title than that, can you? 😄As I was getting ready for bed last night checking the door locks etc. I found an allen wrench laying on the floor next to the front door. I know what an allen wrench is, I know what it’s used for and I don’t have any. In our ancient home in Colorado with huge drawers in the kitchen, I had tons of tools, all kinds and knew how to use them. Now my tools consist of a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, and a few nails. So the mystery!


I called my grandson who had driven me to the store last night and asked him if he might’ve dropped one or it fell out of his pocket when he brought in some things for me. He said no. He thought maybe it was from a previous time months ago when he had visited. That answer was also no because there is a flat rug in that area that gets moved around all day. It drives me nuts, getting caught in my wheels. If it had been there when I went out the door I would’ve seen it. (I have a little OCD and always being close to the ground, notice things that most people don’t ). The front door is a heavy fire door that takes forever to open and shut (you can’t just shut it, it won’t let you). It’s heavy and hard to maneuver in an out of in a wheelchair, unless you have “arms of steel”. If there had been anything on the floor I would’ve seen it. So the mystery!


I checked my whole apartment and nothing is missing that I know of. I don’t see any installed hidden cameras, 😳🙄😄 which of course my curious mind thought of. And why anybody would put one in my place I have no idea. So the mystery!


So people, any ideas on “who done it?”

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

***

How many times had she been woken by the same nightmare? “It was a dark and stormy night” she thought…Edward Bulwer-Lytton was the first person to write that phrase on paper, but it was happening in her dreams every night!

Jane had tea and a warm bath to dispel anything that might disturb sleep. She cuddled under the quilt, and with heavy eyes, fell asleep. She woke to find herself in a storm, returned to the catacomb.

Fashion Show

***

“Well Joe, I’m not going to whitewash my review with a comment that might ostracize me from the press, but my stars, can you believe this?”

Jack was considered a lexicon in the fashion world and hesitated to agree with Joe, but he honestly felt that this designer needed therapeutic help and fast!

“Look at them sharing a toast to him, and everyone with a clink of the glass says this creation deserves recognition. The color is a good choice but that cut out design and the black under garments? What an atrocity are they celebrating!”

It all started with paper stars and green fizz. It was not going to be your typical baby shower! Even though only a few knew the “origin” of the expected infant, many were invited to celebrate. It was an ominous but finely anticipated event to see the newborn—the result of the first Martian/Human “connection”.

SoCS – Comp

***

Compromise is the name of the game — you can either do it or not, always a choice you have to make. Sometimes it’s on the spur of the moment and your first thoughts rule. Well, that’s my experience anyway.

Anything that takes a lot of thought time is a lot harder. So it’s probably best to try to think ahead about what you might do in a situation that requires a compromise with you needing to take the hit.

Seriously though, taking the hit is not so bad, usually—you will be okay and even be glad you did.
