Word of the Day: Contest

What is up with WP? If I want to like or comment, I click and it sends me a white blank screen with the heading automattic on top and just sits there.

This morning I deleted the app to see if restarting would help, now can’t get it to download again. I think it’s a combination of internet slowness, WP who is never answering my queries, or my iPad and phone.

At this time my phone with a newly downloaded app seems better, but hard to type on. Old mind, old fingers. . .what is this, a contest of wills? I have at least four, usually five ads interrupting my posts, so it’s not like they’re not getting their money’s worth.

It’s almost too frustrating. If I receive your posts in email, I have to reply in email, so if it looks strange, that’s why. If I click on your email, it sends me to your site where I cannot comment or like.
Please don’t think I’m ignoring anyone. I hope your “June is bustin out all over”!

Fandango’s Flashback Friday

This is from March 1, 2017:

He’s touching me!

I am not, it’s Harry, he touches everybody.

You’re pushing me, I’m going to fall off!

Well if you fall off, just join those wimpy guys inside.

Hey, we’re not wimps, it’s warm in here.

Charlie, keep your paws to yourself!

Uh, sorry, Kate, it’s just so crowded up here.

Joe, sweetie, your whiskers are tickling my nose, you’re so cute.

Shelly, I just love your little beady eyes, dear.

Crowding to the right from Whitey and his brother Biggie.

Okay everybody off to the left. Whitey’s crowding as usual.

Tiny pops up, big ears showing.

Hey, look out there! Is it cheese? I think it’s cheese! Come on guys, let’s check it out!

So goes a day in the life of mice.

Watch Out, World!

Yep, I wager that really cost you, Gus.

Really? I thought it would at least get you up out of that rocker.

Well I guess so, but how many smackeroos was it?

Well, most of my retirement savings, but look at it, it’s gorgeous!

Joe couldn’t help staring at the red car.

It’s a convertible, see? He helped his oldest friend step into the adventure of their lifetime and out of his humdrum life.

Wager – Word of the Day Challenge

FOWC with Fandango — Humdrum

MLMM Tale Weaver #225 So Far, So Good

Looked at life from here to there

Others’ lives I don’t compare

Happiness while mostly known

There’s always fate being flown

I’ve had a good one and not done yet

No matter how many wrinkles I get

I’m finally reflecting on a life lived well

Now have time to enjoy, I’d say it’s been swell!

First Date

White teeth and sparkling blue eyes

Two things that might have caused my demise

Old lengthy blue pontiac he drove by

Wavy black hair caught my eye

The car was worn it was plain to see

But the bench front seat was useful to me

Snuggling close to the driver so bold

The drive-in dates never got old

Freedom of the sixties for both of us

Young and in love made everything just

The future was in the palm of our hand

First date at a dance with a band

“Scotch and soda” played slow and sweet

I could hardly feel my feet

Holding me close with each sway

Thought heaven on earth I found that day

A late dinner with my first glass of wine

My head was swimming, it was divine.
