Beware. Oh, Take Care!

I’ve tried to live by the adage that you should be careful what you ask for. While some nasty wizard might not decide to grant your wish with a demonic laugh, you could wind up with more than, or less than, you imagined. There was this one woman with whom I was hopelessly in love. Well, you get the general idea. It turned out to be a hell of my choosing. Similar cautions go for other, more…

Enjoy Life Gifts and Be Joyful: What Do You See?

She excused herself, explaining that she needed to take care of an urgent matter. Her boss told her to take the rest of the morning off and join in the afternoon…

Old + Woman = Need for Sharper Elbows

Daily writing promptWhat job would you do for free?View all responses It’s a double whammy. Being old – as in significantly old – and being a woman. You might as well have the word irrelevant tattooed across your forehead. Don’t pay any attention to me, your face says. I might have been smart as a whip at one time but now I’m thin and intellectually wispy, a doily of a person. I push against…

Validation I need you to #like and #follow me Without you, where would I be Mindlessly thumbing through content Numbing my mind into contentment Instead, you're looking at me By any means necessary Talent is not required Fame and money is all that's desired I monetize (victimize) me I am in control of who I be This persona is only…

Silly Wordpress . . . .

Whiskey, wine and winning. I do them all in spades.

What relationships have a negative impact on you? Ha ha!!! I made it to 2023, and I can’t believe it! But seriously. Have we seen the prompt that WordPress has for us today? (In case you were wondering, it’s up there.) I grew up in a special sort of mindset. I thought that people were treating me bad. I had the mindset that I was being victimized. Picked on. Abused by others. I had no sense…

My Kitchen

A Peeve Unheard Is A Terrible Thing

Growing older means more peeves. Frankly, you are more experienced. You have more mileage on you, have been around the block more than once, and it’s not your first rodeo. As a result, it’s a proven scientific fact more pisses you off. Not to preach or appear shallow, but several approaches exist. You can just become the neighborhood crank and idly accost people on the street – “Hey, there’s…

Hammers, Nails, and Persistent People

To be honest, persistent people are tiresome. They hammer on one nail for years, decades, looking up only to lecture the rest of us on how we lack fortitude, commitment, willingness to wash our hair shirts in cold water and put them back on while still wet. Truly persistent people are single-minded, preoccupied with their target all the time. They breathe their focus, spreading their hot breath…

Mean Girls

I still remember my high school’s version of the Plastics. They were preppy girls with glossy hair, the “right” clothes, the worshiped size, and the fake niceness that had all the adults fooled into thinking they were kind. They were the girls that had a confidence I never understood. They were casually mean, carelessly mean. They made changing in the gym locker room a Fear Factor event for me,…
