  3. It has been years since I heard this one, the classic answer to the mythological riddle of the Sphinx solved by Oedipus is man (a human being). The Sphinx asked: "What goes on four feet in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?"—referring to crawling as an infant, walking on two legs as an adult, and using a walking cane in old age. I have now experienced all three and find "the shadows are getting longer for me".

  6. Of the approximate 165,000 deaths that occurred today around the world, Tuesday, 25 August 2026. Dolly Parton was the only one to bring a tear to my eye. I knew her, her voice, her songs, of her life story. The world that I know, has lost a Good Samaritan(a helpful person who gives time, money, or effort to aid a stranger). She often shared her belief that God did not plan for her to have biological children so that "everybody's kids could be mine".

  11. Welcome Evan. Wow, already a story in moderation, is that what they call chomping at the bit. I wish you all the best. Take care & good luck, sandrewn
  12. Welcome back Paul. I'm so glad you stopped by all those years ago as a reader and remembered us. I guess you saw and felt something positive from those visits.

Remember, every single author here now, was once standing exactly where you are now. Take care & best wishes, sandrewn
  13. Now this one brings to mind, something most of us have heard before, "Location, location, location." I live in Montreal, a bee/wasp sting or being bitten when I ten years old by a neighbors' puppy dog called, 'Happy', were my worst case scenarios. Now to the other extreme, Australia, once bitten, if you survive, don't do whatever you did, again, if that means running faster, hell yeah!! With all of the possible dangerous fauna there, good luck. I know, you know the obvious ones, but consider the two I have listed below as, who would of thought or scary as hell: Platypus venom and spurs - Australian Platypus Conservancy “They're equipped with 15cm claws, can run at speeds of 50kph, clear 2m when jumping and deliver a mean kick – just how worried should I be?” | Discover Wildlife
  14. Brings to mind a popular saying, "Once bitten twice shy".
  15. I'm not sure if what you said, dreed, was intentional or a misspelling? "Dreed" is the past tense form of the old Scottish and northern English verb dree, which means to suffer, endure, or bear a hard fate (as in the old phrase "to dree one's weird"). It is also commonly seen as a common misspelling or phonetic variant of dread, or a reference to the sci-fi franchise Judge Dredd. Definition: Past tense of dree (to endure or undergo hardship). Origin: Old English drēogan. Usage: Mostly found in old literature, Scottish dialects, or traditional phrases

  22. I'm a bit weary about what that means? Years ago, we had 'Friends' on our personal pages, I had several hundred listed, upgrade/gone. I could still find them because we still listed all of the 'Non Writer Members' and their pages, upgrade/gone. I understand that without the 'Authors', we would not have a GA site. However, it is getting very lonely and starting to feel as if for a non writing member, the writing may already be on the wall(upgrade?). Notice, I didn't mention the 'Personal Statuses' on all our pages. If cost was a factor, that I could understand. For an outside party doing an upgrade of our site, saying this or that really wasn't necessary or relevant, not so much so. Regardless, until you guys kick me out, I intend to stay. Ga is my second home.
  23. A "chaos action" or "chaos-driven action" generally describes a step or behavior that introduces unpredictability, disruption, or disorder into a system. Speaking of tariffs...........
