Just Jot It- 01-06-17-Tangible


First thing that came to mind was my grandson, my dear sweet chauffeur, C. Only seventeen and wise already, but always short on cash! His tangible assets from working are banked and therefore when needing something quickly, I get a visit…..”got a couple dollars for gas?” Or, “want lunch today?” (Meaning of course that he wants lunch.) Kids these days….it’s like they never heard of peanut butter and jelly! JK…Seriously, they’ve eaten plenty, and I mean plenty of that. It’s what happens when you have eight kids to feed every day, three meals a day. Mostly I’m kidding around. I rely on him to pop in and visit, and sometimes he brings friends I love to meet. I am blessed to have him.

Note: Before I looked for an old post to put on this prompt , it was weird because C came over to my home today to help me figure out a problem on my tv. on his day off. He is 23 and still a very sweet guy💓

The Morning Dawdler

I am extremely resistant to it but if I have no choice I do ask for help.
Most tired phrases used by politicians.
I try to learn more about technical things on my phone or iPad but find it frustrating.
Salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash varieties. The MD helps use less salt and I love salt🙄

I hope everyone’s first week of the new year has been a good one!👍🏻

I find this an odd choice but as you read this and if you’ve been recently diagnosed, please take one thing from it—cancer is not a death sentence. I had uterine cancer in 1995 and bladder cancer in 2015 and yes it has left permanent losses and scars but it hasn’t killed me! Being a survivor counts even though the cancer word always lingers in the back of your mind. That’s part of the insidious disease. My husband died of cancer in 2013 with treatments that had not improved or changed in twenty years. I was lucky to have excellent surgeons and treatments in 2015 and remain cancer free eight years later. I started this blog in 2016 to bring awareness and encourage people to get tested because early detection is key. If you have any questions or curious about my experience, I will answer truthfully. As you probably know already, I’m not shy about it, so bring ‘em on!😃 And do your checkups!👍🏻

dVerse Poetics

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

So. . .from the list below, choose at least two titles, and write a poem including the exact words of the titles within the poem. The word order of the title must be retained, but you can punctuate the longer ones. The poem can be in any style or form, and you may also use a podcast title for your own title, if you would like. Easy-peasy, right? I’m giving you prompt words. Now all you have to do is write a poem using them.

The Titles:

Articles of Interest: American Ivy

I Was Never There

Legacy of Speed

Not Lost

Pivot

Reveal: After Ayotzinapa

Rumble Strip

Serial

This American Life

Ghost in the Burbs

************

this American life

where dreams of sixteen year old boys

culminate in the local rumble strip

souped up cars flagged by a pretty girl

the race begins

tires smoke

screeching curves

sudden stop

smooched winner

line up, start again
