Are you ready yet? All we need is a rifle, a mobile phone, and my thermos mug. Those rabbits will be a tasty dinner!

MLMM Saturday Mix
Greetings, Martians! It is rewarding to have landed safely to establish a claim on this interesting environment. The rosy dust is just what we Earthlings need. Since none of us paid attention to global warming and climate change, we are now almost completely underwater. We want to bargain with you for an exchange of environmental attributes that will make all parties satisfied. Shall we proceed?

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt
“Get your headlines here! Get the daily news, only fifty cents for all the news that’s fit to print!” Joey liked the Sunday morning chant because the price was doubled on Sundays, twice the daily that was a quarter. The tips were larger, too. They were bigger and heavier, but after three years of barking newspapers, his arm could hold the Sunday special editions at least thirty minutes.

SoCS from Linda G Hill
Pin it on me, I can take it, yes that’s the one, the big one with the crazy old lady’s picture on it, with a bad word under it in caps–yup, a good likeness don’t you think? It took a while, you know, makeup and all that, hair done to look presentable. . .oh by the way, they wouldn’t let me wear my Womanist t-shirt for the photo–nazis, all of them! And the wheelchair was cropped, guess they don’t want anyone thinking I’m disabled, ha! Little do they know, the brain speaks! Yes, step up, I don’t mind. Take a few for your friends! Everyone needs a pin!

Cyranny’s 1MinFic
I see the sign, a hump ahead
A Wednes—day you ask?
That’s not what I meant.
History is starting to repeat
Rights are seeing the defeat
A hump in the road you say
A hill to climb another day?
Oh no, my friend the time is now
Stand yourself up, never to cow!

On my mind ⚠️ Blitz Poem – Sort of
Are
you
as
upset
worried
frustrated
irritated
angry
disappointed
discouraged
as
I
am?
Do
you
want to stomp
into the Supreme Court
and say,
what the hell?
Because
it is turning into hell
right here on earth.
So called
judges deciding what women can and can’t do with their bodies,
calling women who have sex horrible names,
while men have sex
whenever they want
and are
not chastised.
Judges
deciding
everyone will follow
their made up rules,
putting their beliefs before ours.
This is 2021, not the 1800s.
America,
land of freedom,
freedom from religious oppression,
freedom of choice,
all choices,
and
freedom of speech,
is not
a militia controlled state
where a few
decide
what is good
for
everyone
else.

Woman’s Work
3TC – Birth
Arms going numb, I struggle to grab a tissue to wipe the sweat from my face. It was only a few minutes into labor and I fear more pain is coming. It seems my body is not under my control and even my birthing classes now seem a distant effort to withstand this ordeal. I will, I have done it before and the results are worth it. I try to keep this in mind, as I breathe short sharp breaths.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback – SYW 9-3-18
First I have to thank ceenphotography.com for all of her hard work on this Share Your World section of WP. I think everyone enjoys it and appreciates the time she has put into it along with all of the other challenges she has. So we’ll miss you, but keep in touch!
Also, a hearty welcome to the new lady in charge: sparksfromacumbustiblemind.com. I love the new colors on the badge! Thank you for accepting the challenge and taking on this responsibility.
A big thank you to both ladies!

My answers for today’s questions:
1. I tell my grandchildren a lot of stories about growing up a million years ago, on a dairy farm, our family life then and my life with their grandfather and their mom as she grew up. Of course I also tell it like it is, maybe too much?
2. I can’t really think of anything except my first “real” job. Starting out as a clerk and ending up as a secretary to a large group of scientists. The first part was a clerk in a small room with two middle aged good old boys who did their best to embarrass me every day. The next job in the same building but a different section, was great, treated with dignity and respect.
3. This question is funny. Probably I would say, thinking I am funny.
4. Maybe the worst thing I could overhear while going under for surgery would be, “you got this. . .right?”
I appreciated hearing from someone I worry about that they are okay. All quiet on the western front as everyone else was out of town. I finished “Downton Abbey” and made a cup of creme brûlée caramel coffee at home. I even topped it with whipped cream. Not exactly perfect, but I’ll keep at it.
