FPQ #91: Liars, Deceivers and Enablers

Fandango’s Provocative Question this week is about lying:How many times have you heard the expression “honesty is the best policy”? We are taught from a very young age to not lie.

SYW: To Be or Not to Be: Is That the Question?

Here are my answers for Melanie’s weekly Share Your World challenge. Questions: Are we “here” or do we just think we are? (A metaphysical question today folks.) Can you prove your point of view?I think we are here and our existence on this tiny blue dot of a planet in the solar system is real. […]

FPQ: Self-Control in an Out of Control World

Fandango’s provocative question #88 is this: To what degree have you been able to control the course that your life has taken? Or is being in control of your life just an illusion? I watched a science program the other day that discussed unanswered questions posed by quantum physics, such as the possibility that everything that […]

FPQ: Dream a Little Dream

Fandango’s Provocative Question #86 is about dreams: What has been the strangest, weirdest dream that you can remember? What do you think triggered that dream? I’ve had many wild dreams in my life! In periods of creativity, my dreams also become creative and I have been able to remember a few of them quite clearly. […]

FDDA #31: September

Fandango’s last theme for his Dog Days of August is “your plans for September are.” Do you have any? If so, what are they? They can be anything, from posting more (or less) frequently on your blog, taking a trip, learning a new skill, getting married, engaged, or divorced, getting more exercise? Or are you […]

These questions come from another blogger, Roger Shipp, who is collaborating with Melanie and her Share Your World, which […]

RDP/FOWC: How We Teach & Learn History All Wrong in America

The Ragtag Daily Prompt today is the word lies. There is a lot I could write on this topic (for instance, most of what happened at the RNC these last four days). But I was just made aware of a John Oliver (I love this guy!!) show from a few weeks ago that is very […]

Truthful Tuesday: All Good Things Must Come to an End

I’ve never participated in this challenge before, because I just found out about it today (thanks, Fandango!), so even though it’s Wednesday, I’m going to join in. Truthful Tuesday is hosted by PCGuyIV. What’s something that seemingly everyone else just can’t stop talking about that you just never got in to, and why not?I feel […]

SYW/HP: On Snowballs at National Parks, Gratitude for Summer, Wisdom & Happiness

Share Your World Meets Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban One of my favorite gifts that Harry Potter received came from the Weasley Twins; and was “Mrs. Mooney’s Marauder’s Map”. This magical document showed every classroom, hallway and secret corner in all of Hogwarts. It also showed you the location- by name- of every […]

FDDA 22: I Write Because I Must

Faandango’s Dog Days of August 22 prompt is: Why writing matters to you. Why do I write? I always have and probably always will. I blog, I write a journal (although far from daily), I write poems, essays, and autobiographical pieces mostly. When I hear something about Trump that is particularly egregious, I will expound […]
