Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt
Of course it’s capricious
But also delicious
There is no harm
When indulging their charm.
No need for suspicion
There is no sedition
Unless it’s your diet
So why not try it?
No need for ambition
Just turn the switch on
And set it on hot
Don’t think about “ought”
Just eat them and enjoy!

“I Am Woman” – Helen Reddy 1972
MLMM Saturday Mix
The rise and fall of a community are the products of its members. If the households choose to be polite, they will promote understanding and love. If they choose to be rude to their neighbors, they will sink into their own quagmire of disappointment and ruin. The old “what goes around comes around” often bears out.
“What you do or say today will come back to you in the future. The proverb originated in the United States in the 1970s. The earliest appearance in print was 1974 in Eddie Stone’s book, ‘Donald Writes No More.May 24, 2006”

Joe gave his daughter a hug to soothe her angst about the danger of getting back on the ice. The ramifications of her teammate’s injury veered her willingness to join in. The lake had frozen over in ripples, dips and bumps, causing the ice to be too rough for her to play. She tried to be brave but her dad knew it was a fake attempt. The stakes were not high enough to put his child in danger for a school hockey game.

Saturday Series
Always looking for something new to stream, not finding much not geared to teens, I found this: “The Equalizer” starring Latifah, Liza Lipera, Adam Goldberg, and other well known actors. It might come off as a “little too easy” as she solves crimes, but I like the actors and the premise. Needless to say, the original movie starring ♥️Denzel Washington♥️ is my favorite to play this role, but Queen L. does a great job. It is contemporary with good messages in these times.
SoCS – Fortune
I had the “fortune” to watch my granddaughter’s basketball games today . It was televised and we played Sheridan High School in Wyoming. I can only watch. There is no sound and sometimes no time or score shown. It’s videoed by a computer which is irritating.
You won’t remember but Sheridan was an obnoxious set of parents and game players when I watched one of my grandsons play soccer a few years ago.
Since this is SoCS I will tell you I have a hard time seeing the benefit to students when refs for the school we visited completely bend the rules and encourage their players to commit uncalled fouls, stand and laugh when we suffer a false foul that didn’t exist. Students on the sidelines laughed and cheered at every opportunity. This is not sportsmanship. It is cheating. These refs are adults!
You may think this a tempest in a teapot but where do you think kids taught like this end up? In front of the Jan 6 riot group or worse? It is shameful.

Friday Writings – 13
A typical winter night in the forest, chilled to the bone, hearing a lonesome howl from a hopefully far away wolf. The partially hidden moon seemed to be a telltale sign that chaos may ensue before the sunrise.
“Possibly a storm sending more icy drops my way?” Sue shivered at her thoughts. “It was certainly not my idea to camp out in this dirt pile.” Sue loved camping in the heat of summer, but Joe was an all weather camper.
Sue could have held her tongue, but she always voiced her thoughts with no filter. Her words echoed in the valley when she spoke dislike of the area. “Why not set up nearer the trees? They would shelter us if the winds turn icy. I think we’d be safer there.” Joe ignored Sue’s question. Sue being sheltered was not his priority.
Sue moved closer to the campfire and wished she had stayed home this weekend but Joe insisted. For no rhyme or reason to her it seemed, he came home obviously upset and announced they were going camping. He practically slammed the equipment into the truck and drove on in silence. Sue knew better than to try to talk to him when he’s in that mood.
Finally seeming to settle down a bit, Joe joined Sue at the campfire. She felt relieved as he put his arm around her and apologized. “Sorry, I know I was rude. I lost my job today and the only thing I could think of was to get out here and breathe fresh air. I felt like they put me in a box and checked redundant to file away. I just needed to get away.”

Losin’ It😄
I was laying comfortably, supine
Remembered it’s bill day
I’ll pay them pronto with banking online.
After I donned my robe, snacked on some kippers
My eyebrows raised as a sight piqued my mind
Spied an $800 dollar expense that I find
Then felt a panic as if I’m a child, my heart started beating wild
I grabbed the curtain, almost shred the valance
Saw that I read it wrong, it was only the balance!
I hadn’t been drinking, barely awake
But a chunk of my mind did a wrong double take
I’m not a dipper or alcohol sipper but somewhere my mind took a definite slipper.
My family laughed as the joke to remind
It might be my time for Shady Pines🙄
