At my age, the only sense I have left is my sense of humor and even it is often nonsense.
@CFarley982 Bet l beat you to it; how about an elder writer's transition from two-finger typist to the next stage below... :))
Happy Mother's Day! We are staying up to catch the Aurora Borealis, but so far nothing.
@CFarley982. Hey Joe, if you didn't catch it last night. I think it is supposed to last through Sunday night. I read to point your phone camera in the direction. It will catch the light better. Good luck I tried to stay up. I was in bed 10.
Now that private messages are gone. If you want to send me a private message, email me at Cfarley982@gmail.com .
Ironically, the only Private messages not deleted were those to and from Wattpad. For me they were a half dozen queries I'd sent them none of which were answered.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! May the fifth of tequila be with you. :-)
Happy Star Wars day! May the fourth be with you!
Here is a petition to stop Wattpad from removing Private messaging: https://chng.it/7qNdJZMyNX I doubt it will do much good, but it couldn't hurt. Note it is a website that promotes numerous other petitions so you may want to exit from it once you sign this one.
Hi Joe, did my announcement go out on my new story? Forgot to add the story to my library. So I am not certain if it went out. Sorry to be a bother. I hope all is going good out your way.
Happy saint Patty's Day when everyone celebrates their Irish heritage by partying and drinking too much. We went to Casey's for corned beef and cabbage. We treated ourselves to Irish nachos and I had my first Irish car bomb in fact I had two. For those who have never had one, I highly recommend it. Our server Stephanie joined us and showed me how you were supposed to drink them in a single swallow. I couldn't do it. Told her I was too old for that. Anyway, I survived and am home now.
@CFarley982 Sounds like I'm glad I am not Irish. I was iffy until you said it curdles
@Robertwaltonnovelist Fill a shot glass half full with Bailey's Irish cream liquor and top it off with Jameson's Irish whiskey. Drop the shot glass into half a mug of Guinness beer just like you do by dropping a shot glass of whiskey into a mug of beer for a boiler maker. Actually, it is very good if you leave off the Bailey's. Even though I think there is no better drink than Bailey's, it is best when added to a chocolate milk shake. In a car bomb it curdles if you don't drink it quickly.
The monster snowstorm in the west is all over the news. How is it in your area? I hope you’re staying safe.
Wow, I feel for you. I hate it when the snowplows box in the driveway. It can be like digging through concrete. The weather lady this morning was reporting from Truckee and was promising an apocalyptic snowstorm. The ski resorts must love it, but I hope it's not too bad for your area.
@DennisRoyer We're fine. Thanks for asking. We were supposed to get 4 feet over the next four days. I have my doubts. They haven't been right all winter. Last night we got about a foot. Took me over two hours to shovel the driveway this morning. The snowplows left me a three-foot high four-foot-wide berm across my driveway. I have to shovel it manually because it is mostly chunks of ice that would break my snowblower. The snowplow operators we used to have never mistreated the residents with such berms. The ones we have now are real jerks who go out of their way to screw everyone over.
Just thought of a great name for a band: "The Grateful Unwoke." I assume unwoke is a politically correct substitute for dead? There used to be a hamburger place in Davis California called Murder Burger. They made them change the name. It is now called Redrum Burger. Drawing attention to how backwards everyone's thinking has become
@CFarley982 Hahahaha we had a fish and chip shop called "THE BATTERED WIFE - THE ONLY BATTERING ANYONE NEEDS". The owner was a lady who'd been the victim of domestic violence and was a former police officer who'd dealt with many cases of domestic violence. She changed careers but wanted to raise awareness about domestic violence so chose this name. Someone complained after the shop had been operating for over a year. The locals, (a very small town of 612) thought nothing of it so it had to have been a tourist or someone passing through as the shop was on the main road as you drive to one of the biggest tourist destinations in the area. Anyway the complaint went viral, every newspaper and current affairs show in Australia broadcast it and interviewed the owner, demanding answers. The woman had to close her business because she ended up with all sorts of other allegations against her.
