Well, many recommend FISHING as a prescription for whatever ails us. Even Moby Dick opens on that note: Call me Ishmael. Some years ago — never mind how long precisely — having little or no money in my

I'd love to mee over coffee or a beer!!! Thank you. And hugs to you. :) Wondering if I'll ever book another flight in my life... 2019 was the "never again" flight! So far, I have not ventured

Thank you Nancy! I love reading YOU! And thanks for the quotes. :)

God bless you - what a wonderful reply! We've all read about manifesting, but your map of words and your grandma attesting to it - that's the kind of motivator I can relate to. Thank you for the kind words.

WE LOVE IT! Macabre mind, Fiction - I love the Whedon Brothers and the Cohen brothers for their black humor in TV shows. The beauty of fiction - you can claim "parallel universe" or whatever

Shared this quote from your post on X (Twitter) but the image didn't come through. If I check back later, I might see the preview pane.

I have crossed many rivers Salvador Espinas writes in the manner of Robert Frost and Maximo Ramos, but occasionally, and this is when he is really good, he writes in the manner Salvador Espinas, who lives

"I have crossed many rivers" - is that an opening line to a novel? If not, I'm stealing it. :) It reminds me of "I once had a farm in Africa...." I love this too: I also believe that

Oh my. MEMORY LOSS. In a we-write (you posted the link, Sunflowers are for Sissies), I wrote the demise of ... after you wrote the demise of... ---- Now all I can think about is those gorgeous rugs - your

Edgar! Elsie!!! I've been thinking of them as I chop buckthorn and honeysuckle from the woodland understory. Seriously. I have. And today, YAY, yay!, YAY, here is a return. It seems to me I kinda/sorta

Ohhh the dog on the boat - priceless image! Like the Alamo: Never Forget. The guardian dog - no alarm system; get a dog - love it! We're on our second pair of collies. The "Lassie" breed.

Oh, this is sad! Whatever she has to say is far more important than what YOU have to say. "I would do anything for you" - but doesn't. I wish I could say "I have no idea what that's like,"

Jacey, I love that image of the finches inching their way up the stalk to bend the dandelion down for easy feeding. :) After 20+ years I persuaded the Man of the House to leave a little strip of lawn unmowed.

Another beautiful post, another "late to the party" with me, but I love it. Even when you declare garlic mustard deserves space in your yard (I believe you may have recanted on that one?), and

Your newest post is two years old... where are you now... how can I find you again! You came to mind when I was looking up more about an instrument I've heard only in the movie Amadeus. Bubak And Hungaricus

YES!! That line leaped out at me, too. It's so true. The more careful (hesitant) about pouring we are, the more likely we are to spill. The big, brave JUST DO IT, and do it quickly, wins the day. This,

Oh sad. Probate. Families torn apart, one wanting a bigger share than the others. This breaks my heart. It's so, so, so common, and it should be so, so rare.

The hacker, the password, the daughter in hospital, the dog with another baby bunny - and you've managed to keep Rudy alive for how long now? (Baby bunnies are notoriously difficult to save.) And wow,

You're back!!! Yay!!! Who'd a thunk it was something so simple as laptop on the blink. Of course worst-case-scenario is my go-to. Hey, we lost Bruni (wonderwop), and how many others... Thank God you're

We love you and we miss you, @myjob! I hear the pain, the strain, the weariness, the struggle in your voice - but also that note of hope at the end. This too shall pass. The physical pain and limited mobility
