One-Liner Wednesday - Good call

A whole list of things have gone wrong for me in the last week, so when I saw snow forecast for the day I was scheduled to drive 3 hours (each way) to get Alex to an appointment, I cancelled. About the time I was supposed to be on the highway, a dump truck flipped and there was another accident between a car and a transport truck. No one was hurt! But I’m happy I made the call to stay home. If…

Here’s this week’s prompt: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “contains ‘pat.'” Find a word that contains “pat” or use the word “pat” as your prompt. Use it any way you’d like. Have…

One-Liner Wednesday - What the heck?

My “new” Lenovo laptop (less than two years) that is so slow I can’t do a Facebook video chat on it without it crashing and that shuts off randomly, just broke the frame around the screen because the hinge bent from regular opening and closing. Meanwhile, my 10 year old Asus transformer with Windows 8 is still as fast and reliable as ever. I bought a new Asus laptop today. If you would like to…

True then, truer now

WordPress won’t let me reblog my own post from nine (9!) years ago, so I copied and pasted it below. March 22, 2016 by Linda G. Hill Trump I feel nauseous just typing the name. But I’ve stayed quiet long enough. I find I have no choice but to speak out. Why, you ask? I realize the chances of changing the mind of anyone who is determined to put him in office is slim to none. But there are…

What Day is it Anyway? Special Wednesday edition

I could say I was trying to keep you on your toes when I posted my One-Liner Wednesday yesterday, but I’d be lying.

Otherwise, just link your One-Liner post to this one and pretend. Yeah, let’s pretend and maybe this will…

One-Liner Wednesday - Good intentions

I know I said I’d be around more this month, but in my defense, I’m proofreading one book, editing one book, re-reading one book (all three are mine), writing an epilogue, taking an ad course, looking after two sons and a house, and worrying that my country will be invaded. Sooo, maybe next month? If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title…

Hey there! It’s Friday again and I’m here with your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. It’s been an incredibly busy week for me, but what else is new?

One-Liner Wednesday - Bad suggestions

There are times when Word makes really bad grammar suggestions. Photo: A screenshot of a quote from one of my books “This changes things.” Word doesn’t like it and suggests I change it to either “This changes thing,” or “These changes things.” What the heck, Word? If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you…

A lovely day

It was a lovely day to walk to our local polling station to vote in Ontario’s provincial election. Photo: My son Chris walking ahead of me on a snowy sidewalk with houses on the right and trees on the left. Alex waited with me while I took the picture.
