The dappled skin of the blue heeler that came to me as a stray, was caught in a flash of sunlight. He was such a beauty and an angel in behavior. The sad pieces of his life before I found him must have been gone in a snap as soon as loving hands caressed his almost translucent fur coat. His affections remained furtive at first, but as he realized the flow of love emanating from me was a constant, he became comfortable in his new home.

Meat is something I grew up with, probably had daily. Now it’s more of a pain to fix, and so expensive! I usually shop for groceries online and never buy meat or fish there. It all depends on the store person who is shopping for me—most times it’s someone who cares but if not, I am stuck with it unless I ask someone to return it. That’s why it’s a pita😂. If I am in the store I choose an item and freeze it in portions to mete out the cost and have no waste. If I meet up with my daughter to take me to the store, I buy fresh items when I can see them myself. Got the bonus points!Yea😀
The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Nov. 4, 2023
If everything I contribute is brash and callous, my peak of followers will diminish. This of course is a trite reminder and causes placid posts to occur. So then, what is my choice? Be myself with an occasional hopefully humorous vibe or a dig at say, Mr T, or to write with words “everyone” accepts? I mostly try to stay in the middle but…

Story Starter – Saturday Mix, 4 November 2023
As I was posting my Fandango’s Flashback post, and at other times lately, this thing appears and makes it difficult to see what I’m writing as the keyboard stays in the way and then lines. Does anyone know how to permanently get rid of whatever the hell it is?
HELP!
If I stay very quiet under this tree they won’t suspect a thing. Well, I am a feline after all, so they might suspect, but they won’t be able to prove anything. That’s why it’s so nice having a dog in the family. They’re so big and clumsy, they always get the blame.
I see the target. When everyone leaves the room, I’ll make my move. I’m surprised they put those fronds in the Christmas arrangement in the first place. I do love them. They are furry and flop around like a squirrel’s tail, and squirrels are so much fun to chase.
Okay, Barney just lumbered in and there’s not a human in sight! Perfect! (Sneaking, sneaking, jump!) I grab a couple of fronds and escape to my cushion. I stretch out and pretend I’m asleep.
“Oh, Barney! Bad dog, bad dog”
I timed it perfectly. Heh, heh, heh…

Sneezing
Coughing
Spitting germs
Going out
With wet hair
They were earned.
Honeyed tea
Soothes my throat
My dizzy head
Feels like I’m on a boat.
Thermometer handy
Temperature hot
Is this all the OJ I’ve got?
Friends offer food
Visits are tiring
Soup is good
But not inspiring.
I’m ready for bed
But sleep won’t come
My whole body’s on a feverish hum.
