Fandango’s Friday Flashback — Jujojan 1-23-2017-Compromise

I used to be a person who would not compromise. There are only a few things now that I won’t. Personal values may sway a bit but when it comes down to the end, I stand strong. I think inherit beliefs and values stick with you forever.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — January 22

Jujojan 22

Started out great, cold and sunny, then it began….having to call and listen to endless ads for their business while on hold. I don’t mind being on hold for a few minutes, but after 7, I’m out of there! My arm grows limp having to hold the phone and my brain is heating up to the blow level.

Why do businesses do this? This was after getting only a recorded message on another needed call that never gives you a way to reply to their questions without specific info I don’t have. So far, them 100, me zero.🙄😎

#JusJoJan prompt the 22nd – “Limp”

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt 1-21-21 – Dawning

***

Apparently new clothing by designer Rick Owens, coming out in the fall of this year, seen in Vogue magazine, is a bit perplexing. This gentleman must have suddenly woken up, hearing a damsel in distress, jumped into his thigh high boots, grabbed his bigger brother’s jacket, and just forgot his jeans, but who knows? Is he striding forth ready to vanquish some evil? It certainly looks like he’s dawning on a foggy morning.

Teenage Boys

Trying to lionize his reputation among the other thirteen year old boys, Joey decided the best way to proceed was to be pedantic with favors. His dad owned the local 7-11 convenience store and Joey cleaned up the trash in late afternoons. While Joey’s dad was busy, Joey would find himself moving around the back room where the cigarettes were stored, among other things the gang liked, such as girlie magazines, and condoms.

Of course none of the boys yet had an occasion to use condoms, but having one in your back pocket made you look cool. Joey’s dad trusted him, letting him use the price label gun and didn’t really notice a few items missing now and then. Joey never realized his step dad was actually a good guy and wanted their relationship to improve. He thought if he showed Joey a level of trust, it would help.

Joey, though, being thirteen, secretly trying out the gang style of life, didn’t even notice his dad’s efforts. He was consumed with his missing dad, as his parents were divorced. The stealing was a vendetta against his mom’s new husband. None of this was his parents’ fault, but Joey was of the age where only his own feelings and misconceptions were a priority.
