Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt 9-14-19

$795.00🤯

Just take them off! You’re not sugar or salt so you’re not going to melt away in the waves here.

But these shoes are expensive! Jimmy Choo doesn’t design junk, and I can’t afford to replace them!

Well if they’re so delicate, why wear them on a picnic?

I didn’t know it was a picnic. I thought you had a romantic dinner in mind. I was hoping to impress you.

It is romantic, picnic on the beach, fire, basket of wine, cheese, bread. I guess it’s just my idea of romance. I have your favorite dessert too, strawberries and whipped cream.

Ooooooh, the shoes are off!

Sunday Whirl – Wordle #421

“Pluck that electric guitar, give us that smokin’ jive you do so well.” Gerry was always trying to empower his friend Joe, trying to sway him into recording his music. Joe was reluctant, thinking his efforts only mirrored other artists, but Gerry thought Joe had discovered a new beat.

Gerry admired Joe’s talent, knew it was remarkable and unique, not a clash with other players. Joe just shrugged his shoulders, not ready to go public.

Another Scam🤨😖

Yesterday I received an email from my daughter in law, at least I thought it was, at first, as it was just a hello. First clue was it was from her maiden name. I’m sure it originated from her old Facebook site. I deleted my own FB site a while ago.

I thought it was strange but replied that sure I would do her a favor. I thought it might be a secret gift for my son, etc.

Then came the request, buy a gift card from iTunes, which apparently she could not do because she was travelling. Again, stupid me thought, weird, you can purchase anything from anywhere these days but I wrote back – okay. The first mail was (M) saying hello, the second asking for a favor, which showed it wasn’t her.

The most obvious fact in the second mail was M has no niece and the wording, mispelling…a copy below:

My Melissa is intelligent and articulate, would never write anything like that. So I spammed it and sent a note to my son asking him about it. Of course it’s a scam but now I keep getting mail from the same person. How do I report him? It needs to be reported to someone in authority.

Her maiden name is not common, so where did he make the connection other than FB?

If you know where I should report this. Please let me know.

MLMM Saturday Mix 9-14-19

Everyone knew Jordy, always ready for a fight, enjoyed teasing the girls mercilessly and an all around cad. Julie was one of his targets on Saturday, June 10, 1973. Some school friends, mostly girls, decided to meet at the arcade for some pinball excitement. As the girls were deep into watching Julie attempt to reach a higher score, they didn’t notice Jordy coming up behind her. The rest is history.

Jordy was a little too handy with Julie’s buxom beauty and Julie, turned quickly and grabbed Jordy’s pinballs. The rest of the girls laughed as Jordy slinked into the nearest booth and I think I remember him crying. Who knew Julie was a loose canon?

Fun Challenge #2

Just for fun, no pressure😄 Provide a pic of your refrigerator front. As you can see, I’m no photographer, this is just a “get to know you better”.

Here’s mine, comprised of kids’ contributions over the years and photos of my oldest who lives far away. One of my favorites is the valentine flower pot inscribed “Be myne”💓

The first blue thing I saw when I woke up was a set of headphones I used last night when I couldn’t get to sleep. I was watching “Warehouse 13” on the iPad. Of course disappointed it now has 30-75 second commercials because even though it’s on Prime, apparently it has been sold to IMBd. I thought my library in Prime was mine to watch again anytime. C’est la vie.

This song has been going through my head lately, so I’m sharing it here, “Away Beyond the Blue” by Emmy Lou Harris:

***

Wait–do you need an invite?

Come with us, let’s all unite

Or do you want to be alone

Please put down the cell phone

The world turns so fast

You don’t want to be the last

Join together, look deep inside

Enjoy other people’s pride

We need each other it’s so true

Love one another is the clue

The recipe we always knew

For world happiness to brew

Friday Fun – Statues

I have a lot of favorite statues, have rarely seen in person the most famous ones, but the Denver Museum of Arts and Sciences’ Degas exhibit we attended had a beautiful horse sculpture. His drawings of horses were fascinating. My admiration was renewed seeing more than his famous depictions of ballet.
