Truthful Tuesday: Money Makes the World Go ‘Round

PCGuyIV has posted a new question for Truthful Tuesday: When it comes to giving money, do you view it as a thoughtful gift, or as a sign that the giver didn’t care enough to think about a “real” gift? For years, my parents gave us money for Christmas and birthdays, and I looked forward to […]

FOTD: One of These Things Is Not Like the Others…

Who remembers the song on Sesame Street “One of these things is not like the others, one of these things doesn’t belong…”? I’m playing that game today with my flower of the day photo: in a field of black-eyes susans, a purple blazing star rises above its yellow companions. Cee’s FOTD 9/11/20

SYW: On Dancing, Sleeping, Snapping Fingers, & Ziplining

Questions: Hurray! It’s Monday again, the day Melanie puts out a new set of questions for Share Your World! And this week, they’re real doozies!

Song Lyrics Sunday: It’s Getting Better

This week in Jim Adams’ Song Lyrics Sunday, we were to post a song with Good/Better/Best/Great. Yes, it was the Beatles song that first made me type in the words “It’s Getting Better” on YouTube. Being a longtime Beatles fan, I thought, yeah, this is one of the theme songs of my generation, of my […]

5 Things Tuesday: Make Me Smile

Years ago, there used to be a weekly feature called “5 Things.” I don’t remember who hosted it but I really got into it. Every week the blogger would write about five things pertaining to a certain topic. I think it is great that Dr. Tanya is resurrecting it! And what fun for us all […]

SYW: On Broken Hearts, Cellphones, Typing Books, Snakes and Virtual Choirs

It’s Monday! Time for Melanie’s Share Your World! QUESTIONS: What can you break even if you don’t touch it? (yes there is a real answer to this. I’ll reveal it in the next week sometime. Still, answer how you would like – no right or wrong answer) A heart. All it takes is a “Dear […]

FWWTW: Pandemic Entertainment

I wasn’t going to participate in Fandango’s Who Won the Week this week, because not much has happened. Then I started thinking about what I enjoyed most this week. The first thing I thought of was the warmer weather (finally!) and the flowers. But then I thought of something that deserves to “win” the week […]

Song Lyrics Sunday

I found so many good songs featuring the precious gems that are the theme of Jim Adams’ Song Lyrics Sunday this week! But I love Joan Baez and this an “oldie but goodie” from her 1975 album entitled Diamonds and Rust. The title song is one she wrote herself, in November 1974, about her relationship […]

Song Lyrics Sunday: Happy Birthday

The ubiquitous classic, Happy Birthday to You, actually has a rather interesting history.* I’ve chosen this song for Jim Adams’ Song Lyrics Sunday with the theme Birthday/Cake/Gift/Party/Surprise first, because I was able to find a fun version of it and second, because it’s the song we’re all singing in our bathrooms as we wash […]
