Well it finally happened, all If you are thinking I finally ended the streak of being a 57 year old virgin, I'm not talking to you anymore I guess the 1st of September is the start of meteorological fall. Today, I got my first sunburn of the summer 😮 Yes, I had sunblock on, and yes it was only 22 C/72 F out, but there was nary a cloud and I was sitting watching a flag football game for about a hour and a half.

Grounding in storytelling is the vital process of anchoring your audience in the who, where, when, and what of a scene. Without it, readers feel lost and disconnected. Good grounding uses concrete sensory details and clear context to make imaginary worlds feel real and safe to explore. Why Grounding Matters: Stops confusion: Tells the audience who is speaking, where they stand, and what is happening right now. Builds trust: Makes strange or fantasy worlds believable through ordina -
The word grounding comes from the late 4th-century verbal noun of ground (verb), rooted in Old English grund (the bottom foundation, or earth). Its meaning evolved from a physical base to abstract concepts like foundational instruction, electricity, and emotional stability. Comes from Proto-Germanic *grunduz (perhaps meaning a depressed or low place). According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the noun form of "grounding" first appeared in the Middle English period around 1380 i

Sunburns have only been a problem once or twice in my 60+ years, I don't have any missing limbs, thank GOD, but I have completely lost sight in one eye and have very poor vision in the other which causes extreme problems with typing on a laptop. So, if I make errors or repeat myself, please forgive me. It's not always on purpose. 😜 -

I don't get tanned. I don't go in the sun long enough to get burned. And my skin is the color of milk, so I am really pale. I often joke my legs haven't seen sunshine in forty years.

If I casually meet someone disabled, such as in my restaurant, I do ask if there is anything I might be able to do or adjust to make it easier for them. I let them dictate what help they might require. But I a -

Missing my heart, the last ten years or so in the US has taken that from me as it has turned to stone. But no body parts, even still have my tonsils. LOL. I grew up in the country, and knew several people that were missing something, farm accidents are real and use to be worse back in the day. I guess because I was around people when I was young that had lost something either from accidents or the Vietnam war, I never thought it was strange or sad, just a fact of life. Most could do dam -
Classic Serenity Quotes The Serenity Prayer: Written by Reinhold Niebuhr, it asks for peace with things as they are and courage to fix what is wrong. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference" Lao Tzu: "Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality." Epictetu -

7 years before my late husband passed away, he lost his left leg above the knee due to P.A.D., Peripheral artery disease. He never got to use his prosthetic leg which I had to always put on him because he had a stroke in the rehab that made it difficult to use his left hand and it was his left leg that was amputated above the knee. He also was in the process of going to rehab to use his prosthetic and he got to 500 ft in the rehab when he fell out of his wheelchair and hit his stump on the tip o -

So you're still a 57-year-old virgin? Nothing wrong with that, as there are plenty of Ace people around 💖 I'm not missing anything visible, but I have had some of my innards removed. And no, one of them was not my brain I've spent the past 22 years working with adults with all kinds of disabilities. I remember one guy I used to work with as an outpatient. He had a right-sided traumatic brain injury, which can decrease inhibition and make someone a bit of a social nightmare because th -
