to use it beneficially

A child of an undiagnosed mother with mental issues faces a huge

hurdle to overcome a life void of love and move forward in a positive

manner and create the opposite of a dysfunctional lifestyle.

In all aspects I did my ultimate best NOT to follow in her footsteps.

At age twenty-one I gave birth to a stillborn son (already deceased

two weeks) due to RH Negative blood factor.

The unbelievable aftermath, a major reason for seeking counseling,

would follow me and replay again with death of another child and

divorce.

Believe me ‘anxiety,’ real – no laughing matter.

The Sunday Whirl Wordle No: 508

today’s words: border, card, child, effervescent, ferocious, finery, fire, form, poor, rising, sky, surprise

A child‘s fore’er remembrance
Ferocious fire early morn rising

Effervescent next-door neighbor
Continual sampling finery of wines

Poor judgment fed stove excessive cardboard
Failure shut door rooms quick flames engulfed

Fortunate strength cross threshold border warn
Sleeping occupants all floors prior to collapse

Flames ‘n smoke fanned sky no surprise
Form place in memory storage bank – flashbacks.

Simply 6 Minutes Challenge

First glance of the pic led me to believe this animal species could possibly be the

Vietnamese Orangutan ‘Pongo hooijeri’, an endangered species.

At second glance I took note of the creature’s facial features and oh the long nose

of the rather ugly animal would define it as an ant eater.

An anteater specializes in eating insects.

Although this one is quite gigantic I could’ve used a mini-one earlier this morn.

My urge to pee was greater than my urge to stop the black carpenter ant

(a nervous wreck) made himself at home touring the vanity walking on

numerous personal items.

Void of a long-handled weapon, helpless, I had no choice other than watch

the segmented bugger.

Adamant that ant would soon meet his maker, upon arising after washing my

hands I was on a mission to stop him dead in his tracks.

Success, one less carpenter ant!

Word count: 147 to 150 (if this is inaccurate, blame it on the block editor – tough time.

JusJoJan – Day 4

Yeah!!

I managed to copy this year’s image and find a new pathway to post it here.

If correct, I believe it’s okay not to stick to a specific topic. Rather than research

directions under dim light I opted to wait for a day with bright sunshine.

Thus today’s contribution is about my early morning personal computer

experience.

After taking my 1st med of the day (Thyroid) with a full glass of water I’m

not supposed to eat for the next 30 minutes so the medicine can work its’

magic while thinning my crop of used-to-be thick hair, a most wonderful

side effect.

In the past I’d access my computer and lose track of time. Afterwards I’d

experience a gnawing gut feeling – aggravation at myself for not paying

better attention to the clock.

To rectify this situation I chose to mark the start time and shut down after

30 minutes no matter what site my mouse pointer was set thereon.

It’s called discipline!!

Today I scanned news articles on my homepage and settled for one which

within its’ title incorporated the words ‘greediest state in America’.

The fun began . . . LOL

One would think the answer would be at least at the end of the news article.

Wrong!!

Another link to ‘most dishonest’ followed by ‘loneliest’, ‘most dangerous’,

‘most party-friendly’ (drunkest state) and I stopped at ‘most promiscuous’.

With allotted computer time nearing end I backtracked. I couldn’t believe I’d

missed the pictures below the articles.

Then I plain laughed at myself as the answer to the first article was divulged to me.

Done – not yet.

I figured I’d place the question of ‘what’s the most’ followed by the info I desired to

learn in the search engine.

Bingo! Immediate response(s).

One more question OMG I don’t know where this thought found its’ way into

my head.

Dare I ask for an answer. Uumm!!

‘What brand of toilet paper does a certain politician use?’

Refraining from names here.

To my surprise his picture is on rolls of toilet tissue and wipes for sale online – no

bargain price though.

The 30 minute session ended with sheer laughter – a gag gift – a loo roll – a most

hilarious novelty prank present.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 stars.

Dump on ______________________ (fill in the blank).

Laughing out loud again.
