It’s me again. Just delete ☠️
My granddaughter was in a state marching band contest today and I had the link to watch it online. The site wouldn’t let me watch it unless I paid $11.00 a month or a year’s subscription for 70$ . What the???
I told my daughter pretty soon you’ll have to sign up and pay a site to pee in your own toilet!
Okay that was a bit over the top but I’ve had tech problems for a few days now and I’m sick of it! I went in to my site to fix and replace what WP took off (with their new and improved?system) and the thing just sits there saying it’s loading the customizer. Yes my iPad was fully charged. Yes I let it sit. It never let me in. Arrgh 🙄
3TC
He was only nine
With an imaginative mind
Gave his teacher a shock
With his choice of socks
His classmates agreed—
No need for her tease.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt
January 6, 2021
You might be resolved seeing physical star spangled legions in military garb, but I prefer to espy at safe distances. Their objective is to swindle the “American dream” into a dangerous coup.

SoCS – If
If the moon was made of fresh mild cheese
And each cloud was a cracker
If fog could really be pea soup
Then hunger would be lacking.
If a rainbow was chocked full of sweets
And fruit and veggies dear
If every child could no longer seek
A meal or need to fear.
If the world could just assimilate the golden law
All of us would help each other, and not recognize our flaws.

MLMM Saturday Mix
Double Take – Saturday Mix, 16 October 2021
by weejars
Welcome to the Saturday Mix, 16 October 2021!
The ‘Double Take’ challenge focuses on the use of homophones* to build your writing piece. You have two sets of homophones and you are challenged to use all of them in your response – which can be poetry or prose.
Our homophone sets this week are:
aural – of hearing
oral – of mouth
and
aye – affirmative
I – oneself
eye – ocular organ
***
“I think you may have an aural difficulty,”the professor said sarcastically. “Every time I think you have your “eye on the prize” here in class, and are listening to my oral lectures, I see your mind is somewhere else. If you wish to succeed and prove you earned your scholarship, you need to pay attention.”
“Aye, aye, captain” with an exaggerated salute.
“And with that, you are dismissed for the day!”

Cyranny’s 1MinFic
Get your feet off this sidewalk
There are rules
Dig up flowers for your own?
Plant them in your home?
Beat it kid, I am no fool

Winter Morning
A grisly cold day was wafting its way into the kitchen and breakfast was going to be a puerile treat. It was the first day of winter which was settling in with Jack Frost windows and traditional hot chocolate was already sitting on the table.
I stirred up their favorite chocolate chip pancakes. The scent of chocolate called them to sit lined up like birds on a wire at the counter, ready to partake.
The youngest of the brood ran to the window and exclaimed “it’s snowing! This is going to be a terrific day!”

Word of the Day – Dinner
Take from your freezer, slit open the plastic
Place on the spinner, hope for something fantastic
It won’t ever take long
You can hardly go wrong
It’s easy and fast
A delicious repast!
That is what they say
In the ads today.
All will be well
As the cellophane swells,
Until you remove it, take a look
Potatoes all mashed in a corner nook
The dessert dried up, is barely there
The slab of meat no longer rare
The portions are small, and above all
Microwave dinners are a definite pall.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback 10-15-17
He held her arm, steadying her as they climbed the steps. They hadn’t been here for fifty years and it was a difficult climb. The steps were now moss covered and a bit slippery. The grounds were slightly overgrown, but he was not deterred.
James and Mary met fifty-one years ago at a pub nearby. Both were in university and enjoying a much needed time to relax. The semester was over and both were ready for a new adventure. Everything was ahead of them, but on that night they wanted to just “be”. Introduced by friends, James and Mary immediately felt a need to know each other better. This relationship ended up in a lasting marriage.
After combining two successful careers and children, they managed a few trips to secluded venues. Their life was nurturing and complete. James decided to surprise Mary here where they had a special memory. “I remember this place” she told him.
At the top of the stairs, Mary sat down on the stonewall. James bent down on one knee. Mary asked if he was all right. “I am more than all right, my love. I want to ask you a very important question.” Mary’s face showed a knowing smile. “Will you marry me again, love of my life?”
“Here, now?”
“This is where I proposed the first time fifty years ago today, and I want to ask you again. Will you spend the next fifty years with me?” James reached into his pocket and hesitated before placing another tiny gold band on her left hand. Mary reached down and held his face in her hands.
“I want to spend eternity with you, my dear” Mary lovingly replied, and offered her hand for the ring.
