I noticided this is still one of my favorite songs, when I played it yesterday for a friend.

Okay a picture for Zombie: Flönz or Himmel un` Ähd (Fried black pudding with mashed potatoes and apples):

What a good idea to tell the whole story someone else! It was very funny, I could see everything happen. Thank you, Greg! I started a rainy Sunday with a laugh. Now I need coffee.

Thank you for taking the time and comment as for the prompt, AC. It took me a while until I got the detached observation part right, I'm glad you liked it. I think I need to play with the Italian Sonnet some more.

To forgive yourself is the tricky part. As Cia said, to be sure to never do it again is always a good start.

YUCK!!!!! *vomits violently around the corner* :fight:People around here eat something called Flönz. NOT ME!

Thank you, Cole! As soon as I read the prompt, it was there. If there is ever something that yells 'Part two' I'll write it.

It took me four days until I caved and got a new puppy after my first dog died. I couldn't stand the silence and all the things you so expertly put in poetic words.

Ripples in the Sand Waves carving endless ripples in the sand, rose colored sea shells gleaming in the light. The roaring surf is silent. It is night. A line of foot prints leading to the strand. Cold water nipped at naked toes, covered by seaweed. In the distance a green glow illuminates the floating heads below. With strong wings shrieking vultures hovered. My heart beats so fast, I fear it will quit. I dare not to think what this nightmare means. Lost souls, tortured in purgatory’s

Why did I read those? I wasn't ready I guess...still...you spoke to my heart.

Yes!

Ha, yes I'm sure he looks fabulous and next year he'll start to eat all the food from the back of the fridge to invite a stomach bug...or he breaks his arm. Thanks Wayne, for your comments and the idea.

Thank you, Caz! Who knows what the next prompts are? Maybe there is something that triggers 'Alex Tonight'.

Thank you for your kind words, Val! Oh yes, definitely. LOL

Thank you, Reader1810! I'm glad it worked.

From bad to worse Alex was utterly and truly pissed. Every year had he managed to avoid his company’s fundraiser. There was always something. A wedding, a funeral, a sudden illness, you name it, he’d had it all used over the last few years. This time, he hadn’t have any idea yet, when his boss had cornered him in the elevator. Too early for him to have a plan ready, he’d said the first thing that came to mind. ‘I don’t have a date for the evening.’ Stupid. Just stupid. Because that was when he

Thank you all for your kind words. That's what friends are for.

You didn't go my way, I still loved you and I know you loved me. Good bye, Mama.

A friend sent me this song to lift my mood. I laughed, so I guess it worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZWQN0n8x00

A very happy birthday, LBO! May the strawberries be with you!

I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you all. It really helped to read your comments.

On pride: If you can be proud of the accomplishments of your forbearers, you have to own their sins also. You can’t have only one of those in my opinion. If you lose a war, the victor dictates the rules. It has always been like this. They take what they want, what they can use, people, art, industry, land, know-how. They cast out the people they don’t want. Or they help, if it is convenient. And someday they can befriends again, or one nation. We apologized, and I think it was the right thing to do. On sins: You can’t offset sins against each other. They add. If you commit a sin, and in any place of the world, others do the same or similar things, it doesn’t alleviate your sins. Moral and ethics don’t work this way. My humble opinion again. The swastika has and still is a symbol for luck beside other positive things. The Nazis soiled it and therefore it can’t be used without negative connotation anymore. Using it means associating with Nazis and their ideas. We have to fight the unteachables here (in Germany) and in any other country all the time.

I'm not here as often as I used to or want to. If I read stories or forum entries, I do that in the car, a hospital room or some hallway on my phone. Therefore I don't comment on them and I apologize. A member of my family is seriously ill and although she isn't my favorite person, she is still family and I support my family. I am writing and Cole agreed to beta-read for me. If it is any good there will be a new story from me, probably when summer is over. Thank you. aditus

I'd be careful with words like 'any'. It's not a team sport but according to my sister a woman is holding the world record in deca ultra triathlon. And then there is horse-riding of course, which actually can be a team sport as well.
