I'd like to join, but my personality on Twitter is quite political. I don't want my very political personality bleeding into the Hive community. The only reason I blog on Twitter is to make a political

Thank you, my young friend @seki1! Writing is so much fun for me. It's hard, but that's what makes it fun. I concentrate so completely that everything else goes out of my mine. The best distraction from

Thank you very much, @jayna. I was having a hard day yesterday, dragging along. Then I started editing this and got reacquainted with Doris. I went to bed peaceful and woke up cheerful. I've said it before:

I was supposed to take Spanish classes at the university there, but I never did. Those weeks were a break from the real world. I found a picture that might have been taken in Seville, rather than Cadiz.

Oh no!!! I was hoping for a better fortune for Hakeem. Your writing is so fluent and expressive, @kemmyb. Not only a talented hand, but a practiced hand :)

This is lovely. A perfect scene, beautifully evoked. Years ago I went to a hypnotist for pain. He would tell me to imagine the most peaceful place I could remember. That place was like your poem. Quiet.

For the first time in over thirty years it feels like the end of the road for my days of collecting. The itch to find “that next watch” has been satisfied. The burning desire to acquire different and rarer

I think we are paying a heavy price and this Iran war could lead to a global financial meltdown followed by a complete economic reset. It also could deplete our resources to the point we can't defend

so I’m hoping to make a few quid by growing it and selling it to him. 😄 I like cauliflower. Certainly a lot better than broccoli. I am awestruck by the energy and skill evident in your garden. Quite

I try to keep a healthy balance. Make dinner. Take care of the dog. Watch a movie. But it's hard to keep this out of my peripheral awareness, all the time. There's talk about gas prices, like that's the
