RE: 2 January 2025, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2605: bad sign
First, the epic and most endearing BAD SIGN is this satire in The Onion, in 2009: Click on it! I hyperlinked it just for you! Second, I finally (FINALLY) wrote today, first freewrite in forever: THANK

RE: Glass Castle memoir + Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2605: bad sign
Ohhh THANK YOU @honeydue! You nailed it: these days, POLARITY is more common than family unity, it seems. Therapists keep telling clients that forgiveness does not require reconciliation: that we can forgive

I love this! And I love your intuition about not entering a house - you were spared the civet cat because you sensed something off. So many good signs - yes - and so many signs that we should steer clear

RE: Weeds!
Beautiful!!! .... once upon a time came across an old abandoned garden. ... with a whole lot of gorgeous weeds. I would go there and look for the fairies or spirits who were tending it. I believe in spirits

Thank you for this - 12 days later, I find it! So many things to respond to - of course I'll choose GO WALK THE DOG (not dogs - alas Prince can no longer go on walks thanks to the dog bite).... So much

RE: Memoir Monday #38: A friend who became my sister and I miss her very much.
She's still alive!!! Whenever I see "I miss" whoever, I think oh no, another lost (dead) loved one. This is lovely! .... they were there, at the foot of the canyon, looking after my children,

Homeopathy - yes! My niece whipped up a lovely lotion of shea butter with St. John's wort, from a miraculous field of the golden blossoms which manifested to her when she was in Germany, mourning the loss

RE: Massive sweet potato grown without fertiliser proves the effectiveness of electroculture 🌱
Thank you Sam for another inspiring report from your garden! Electro gardening never ceases to amaze me. I'll never grasp how or why it works, but you demonstrate that IT DOES WORK, and I believe you.

RE: Memoir Monday #36 Have you ever had recurring dreams? If so, describe them.
How brave of you to "Go There" with this one, @my job. (I'm not going there - not today.) You've suffered so many huge losses. The dream that a loved one is still alive - may it be so! Some say

RE: 5 minute freewrite 2513 prompt psychology of the weird
I've never, ever heard of anyone doing this: "maybe someone would find it and put it in our mailbox" - have you ever heard of it before? If not, it's all the more incredible you thought of it.

RE: 5 minute freewrite 2516 prompt greeting the unwelcome
The waiting - the not knowing if/when/how hard it'll hit. Prayers for all of you down south! You're smart - "two generators to help keep the freezers and fridge going" - and a safe place to store

RE: Memoir Monday: Whatever you choose to be and to do, it will be accomplished
That makes sense! I've seen your amazing daily freewrites - oh, the work! The toll it has taken on your hands - wrists - bones - I hope you're still on the mend from all that.

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
