Enjoy writing. Sometimes, you just have to write what you need to write. It's better out than in... who said that? LOL “Everyone has a right to peaceful coexistence, the basic personal freedoms, the alleviation of suffering, and the opportunity to lead a productive life.” —Jimmy Carter (born 1924) 39th President of the United States, Nobel Peace Prize winner

Happy Thursday...i get to go to the dentist. Dental office called! My dentist is very sick and won't be in today...i get to go next week at 11:20am on Wednesday. @Gary L England won, it was a pretty good game. I enjoyed the Portugal- DR Congo game ... Portugal didn't enjoy it so much because they drew with DR Congo...as evidenced by their behaviour near the end. I'm not a fan of Ronaldo, time for him to retire (without a World Cup win). In any case, time for me to get a move on. Don't want to be late. (yes, yes i really do..lol) So, the dog is here for part of the day and then we have him tomorrow and overnight so his owner can go out and party. It's rather grey and there was the loudest thunder last night. It woke up everyone from what i've heard but it was odd and didn't sound like thunder it was more like a bomb or explosion of some sort. Doggo didn't like that much i was told. Anyway... have a good day. I've got a lil backpack to finish and maybe i can get some writing in.

Happy Wednesday.

“May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.” —Peter Marshall (1902-1949) Former Chaplain of the United States Senate This seems to have been forgotten by, oh, EVERYONE! It's very breezy and i'd say cold. We needed blankets on the bed last night and today i have socks on and clothes. LOL Have a good Monday.

It wasn't a bad day weather wise. Got kinda warm at 5pm.. It's a little cooler now. We didn't put the air on today, but the fans are working hard. Let's hope continues to behave for a little while longer.

Michael read they drank all the booze on the plane and are now working on pubs and restaurants in the city.. lol

Happy Saturday from me and Michael...we will be watching the World Cup and baseball today I think.. we'll squeeze in a few walks too. Have a good one!!

Looking forward to reading them!! 🧡

Happy Friday. I'm off to the grocery store after walking the dog. It's breezy and nice at the moment. With humidity under 90%. That's a bonus. “When opportunity knocks, get the door!” —Luke Bryan (born 1976) American country music singer, songwriter, and television personality Hmm, Luke seems to be one of those happy, optimistic kinda people ... maybe i should try that. LOL.

This is a touching and beautiful poem. I wish You never had to write it, but i'm glad you have. xo

Happy HOT Thursday.. not hot in a good way... “All endings are beginnings, we just don't know it at the time.” —Mitch Albom (born 1958) Author, screenwriter, musician

I read Libby's article when it first posted, it's full of excellent advice. i love to write short stories, they are my preference. I have a hard time with large multi chaptered stories, they take too long, in my opinion. When I'm reading i enjoy short stories and collections of same but i also like a good long novel.

You could offer to arm wrestle him for the berries. Or give him a share.. lol

i asked once and they said, We can't take out healthy teeth. So, sorry that won't work.

So a while ago i broke a tooth. The dentist rebuilt it and said we should really cap this. So, we sent off the estimate, it came back last week, i went today.. this is going to take a long time.. today they took an impression and now i will go back next week for something and then he said likely the following week as well. I had to get a bridge a couple of years ago.. it took nearly 5 months with all the stuff that needed to be done and dentist vacations. erg.

Amazing picture tho.. but wow, that's craziness. We have seen a 7 point buck here and we are in the city and foxes and coyotes but not a bear. That is just wild. I'm glad Paul and Camden are okay.

we/i are glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading.

Banks used have notaries... often the manager was one. But not any more. Students are often kids, and not too smart and they do not know, what they do not know. I worked a long time with international students and enjoyed the job. I felt sorry for them a lot of the time. They are from elsewhere, where they never had a credit card or bank account. I had a lot of time for them and they were often grateful someone shared information with them. I'd hear stories from them where the bank officer, just filled in forms, gave them the card and the bank account with no other information or advice. A little thoughtfulness would have saved everyone frustration. I don't think this kid was stupid, they just didn't know. If you have lots of students you could give them information.. like if you need documents to be notarized for the government, you need to do it days in advance. I know it's not your company's job to do this, but goodwill makes for happy people and happy people share that experience. Then they rent from you. Just my thoughts. I hope these guys were able to get some help.

Of course.. https://languagetool.org/ I used the free version for a bit and then chose Premium which was $150 for 2 years, i think.

I'm a great believer in 'less is more' regarding fiction. Too much on the page will lose me faster than too little. I have a good imagination. If the author builds a framework, i can colour it in, so to speak. I don't like Grammarly. You can use it to edit something and then show it what it has edited, and it will change it again. I stopped using it and moved to another option which costs less and works better for me. I was curious because this is certainly different from your usual style, which is not wordy at all, but this is even less so. Now, i'm babbling so i'll be quiet, except to say, this is very effective.

i like the story you're telling. i'm just wondering if you chose to change your style of writing for this story, or was it just an organic thing? It feels quite different.

Are you encouraging me to look at hot men?

Sorry, Wayne. I'm here to comment on your blog. Your new regime sounds interesting. I will have a look at that guy, though i'm not sure i really want to be jacked. But i like what i'm doing now and feel pretty good. I hope you have continued success with this program.. a Happy Wayne is what we all want. xo

Oh a cute chef, eh? oh you mean me.. lol.

Happy Monday. It's not the best so far... have a headache from you know where. I will get my shepherd's crook out and see if i can resolve it. Otherwise, drugs it is. I take so many pills, what's one more. On the other hand, today is World Ocean's Day. "The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope." — Jacques Yves Cousteau To help our oceans, you can cut down on single-use plastics, choose sustainable seafood, and lower your carbon footprint. Making a chopped salad for lunch today...recipe for it is in our Recipe topic. Have a good one.
