The Bag Lady

QUESTIONS

(Two ‘seasonal’ and two plain today)

What is the scariest game (board or on-line) you ever may have played?

What’s just ‘over the rainbow” for you?

Do you have to watch something upbeat after watching a suspense or horror movie so you can go to sleep?

Is there intent behind every action?

GRATITUDE SECTION (as always, optional)

***

The scariest game I ever played was Ouija board with some neighbor women, one who was trying to contact her mother😵‍💫

Just over the rainbow for me timewise is a move to a new apartment, very stressful.

I do not have to watch something upbeat after horror, I don’t watch horror. The news is horrible enough!

I do not think there is intent behind every action.

I am thankful today for my granddaughter going in for a postoperative check. I’m also happy to say I enjoyed a zoom call with my son and wife from France. And always—love of family🥰

Do you love me? Give me a smooch? Or stand by me in the garden—I’ll scooch. Yes we do take up a lot of room, just as I’m sure my height makes you swoon. I’ve been admiring you my dear, and feel I must make it clear. Your legs, so long and sturdy, surely an obvious aspect of beauty, but your neck, your neck, so long and slender, I just want to caress it, so tender. I’m not forgetting your color and spots, which of course, I love them lots! You see, I think I’m completely smitten! Maybe you’re shy, I just should have written—a note instead of being so bold, as to say outright what I just told.

I never tried to hide my sympathy for him, regarded as a miscreant by the general public, but when I saw Mrs. Jones swivel around after he sorrowfully pleaded for help, I was disgusted. Yes, he was ragged, had a limp and a cane, and obviously had fallen on hard times. It was cringeworthy seeing her accost the poor man, who was asking for a cup of coffee because he might freeze.

It seems people who live on rich hilltops to escape day to day living, lose sight of the real world. Instead of offering help with a mere dollar from her plaid Gucci bag, she practically spit at the man.

I suppose she thought her privacy might be invaded, or maybe it was fear of thinking she might someday be in his position. She might have been so angry because she realized this world is no longer has a fantasy/future where she could pretend to be a mermaid in a Hans Christian Andersen story.

“Grantchester” is back🥳 with season six on PBS.org. This is my favorite PBS series! The characters will easily become part of your life. My favorite is Geordie, played by Robson Green. Enjoy, but please start with episode one, season one to take full advantage of the character building.

“I say old boy, is this another morning where you straddle the line between consuming a particular piece of a possibly radioactive item disguised as a doughnut, or a healthy piece of whole grained toast?”

“You know George, your malapert personality only shows itself in the morning. We all have to wait till afternoon to engage you in conversation. I’ll have you know my mother made fresh doughnuts every morning and I’m still here, healthy as ever! Perhaps the sugar quality of this warm sweet treat would put you in a better mood.“

Joe forgot his umbrella, he was so upset. He decided a walk in the forest would calm him, even though it had started to pour. He really had no idea why a tattoo of seven small doves would cause his mother’s thundering response.

Joe’s father coveted several small tattoos, all of elves, which seemed odd, but his older leathery skin had faded them. His mother accepted them at the time, so why make out Joe’s decision was such a blunder?

I never drink, don’t dance much
Don’t favor a party going bunch
I might, occasionally
Invite a friend for tea
Mostly, I’m happy with me
Without a lot of company.
That being said, I do enjoy
Romantic visits from a boy
I’m no goddess, I admit
So their presence has a limit.
Nothing bothers them more than this:
My brush off from an unwanted kiss
I know I’m doomed to end up alone
Certain things I can’t condone—
Octopus arms or bad breath
Always cause romantic death.
