I remember a few years back, I was watching a video where teens would rate the top summer songs from Spotify.  I didn't recognize a single song.  Not one.  I feel so old.  

I feel the same way whenever the local library hosts a group for anime/manga fans. I stopped attending those meetings because a lot of the featured content, just....sucks.

I'm in... as long as it opens at 5pm, serves dinner, and closes by 10pm. I need to be in bed by 11 at the latest.  

But you don't mind paying the $5 cover charge?

Small price to pay for a few hours of fun and honestly the best decade of music ever.  With a few exceptions,  the 80s rock!

If these pledges don't stop, I'll start a GoFundMe, so you'd better watch it. 😛

I know. It's Monday, and it is freezing here. Okay, it feels like 58 degrees Fahrenheit, but that's freezing. Have a good day/ week.

I'm in the age group I'd have to pay the cover, which I'm fine with. If you need a stripper, I'll kick in my tips as my contribution.

If you can strip to 80s-2000s, then you're hired.

It’s good to see you drown. 
No worries for being quiet and absent. Visit when you’re able.
I hope your rollercoaster ride ends soon for your sake.

Happy Tuesday.  Today, we have advice from Oscar Wilde. Make of it what you will, and have a good day.

Spoiler

It means that a fair life would be a dull life, where no one need strive for anything. The unfairness of life makes us passionate about causes and people.

Got it, and thanks for the “translation” because I don’t think my pondering would have led me to that conclusion.

👍🏻

I made this salad today. I didn't put Farro in, but everything else is in there. We'll be having it for lunch for a couple of days. Michael will add some chicken or pork tenderloin. I did taste it. As we are reducing salt, I did not add salt, and the small pieces of feta make it just right.

Happy Wednesday! I'm sorry I'm late. I had to run out early for appointments today. I hope everyone is well!

I would like to take the time to say how good it was to see the Drop In Center authors so well represented in the recent Secret Authors event. Your stories were all in my top choices for my vote, but for very different reasons. Yes, it was a hard decision to just pick one story, but I did and was very happy and surprised to see the author of my vote was @CassieQ. I mostly had no idea on which author, wrote what story. You all deserve a "tip of my hat" for the stories you presented. I loved them all, and the talent for story telling was obvious in each tale. Great job by all who participated!

Cassie's story was great.    I really enjoyed.

Happy Thursday and Happy World Folklore Day! 

There is absolutely nothing happening for me today. I'm going to make a quick chicken curry for dinner tonight, go for a limp with Dan, and, with any luck, write a bit today!  

Have a brilliant day!
