I don't bite if you don't

I won't take your toys away

I share my toys as long as you promise not to tear them up

I share my food with anyone who wants it

I will hold you hand when we cross the street no matter how old you are

Stand Up and Dance

..Now this song is religious in nature ,but I found myself wanting dance from the joy of the song .....

It can be any sound ...if it stirs the soul...isn't it wonderful that music is that way ..each note of this song made my soul stir and my muscles wanted to react to the stirring ......at the very end when their hands rose toward the sky i found myself wanting to stand on tip toe and dance and throw my hands to the sky as well...now maybe it was lack of sleep ...remember I did say it was early o dark 30 here, and I was not truly awake ...Anyway take a listen and enjoy the feeling of joy and need to move .............................

Because the term spirit is used in the meaning..I am not sure one can really say they have witnessed it....not sure that even those that face fear head on

thought about being brave ....it is just another term we place on being real to self ... so I have to say anyone I have seen lately is brave ....it take being fearless these days ...the true spirit of the human is to survive and so to me just acting on that spirit is brave ...shall we star a new metal business for being human ...wouldn't that be a hoot...everyday handing someone next to you a metal for just living the day through ...wow might turn the whole world around ....so here my friends is your metal of bravery from me because you are you and by being you and going forward another day and someone's else life have been enriched .......wear it with pride you deserve it

So Plinky I would have to answer the last time I witnessed bravery was now...here is your metal

5 Things I'm Looking Forward to This Week

Not sitting up in the mall
For over twenty years we were in the mall with our products...which meant days of standing behind a curtained off area ..getting the shelves together and the products of many artist on the shelves,,,getting all ready for the people that had to shop on the day after turkey day ...five years ago we gave it up and I have not missed it one bit .....

Not cooking from scratch
Yeah ...clapping hands for all the wonderful things in the market place now making it possible to enjoy the day along with others,,,,,

Not playing the guilt game
We no longer have family close enough to worry about the guilt thing of family ..and our children are told not to worry if they can not make it or have to work ...to much guilt is made of other during the holidays for no real reason....

Not shopping on the day after
we have never done this and I don't plan to now when I could ...I hate crowds and after being on the retail side of the game I know there are no.... I repeat NO .... bargains out there .....if someone tells you its 70% off you really should investigate their mark up

Sleeping late ,eat and sleep some more
Have learned to enjoy my age lately ...love getting up when ever the eyes open and taking a nap when ever the eyes say to.... babies have it right from birth....they eat ,sleep ,cry, go potty , eats some more, sleep some more ,then do it all over again....... yeap can't wait

Technology I Can't Live Without

What's one piece of technology you can't live without?

Just like a few others here ....finding it hard to live with out certain technology items is not hard at all.After living with my Grandmother for a few years as a child ....taking spit bathes and using a outhouse,seeing meals cooked on wood stove ...having one lone electric light hanging in the kitchen ...nope its not hard to live without any of the many wonderful items which we now find our self having.......but....could feel a knot of fear at the thought of having the newest camera taken away ..it has become part of my body.. its intertwine with my hand and finger..involved in my heart and mind ..find my eye becoming itchy at the mere though of not having the viewfinder with in inches of my eyes..... the wonderful wonders of see the photo the second you take it and having the power to change it and redo it is way to wonderful



Have you ever had to go without it? Yes, forgetting to charge battery ,plus only having one battery found myself having to take another camera. What happened?Spent the day cussing self .

Ugh, My Worst-Ever Haircut

Show a picture of your worst-ever haircut.





Oh my goodness...you didn't ask this of a lady ...did you ? did you?

There must be a computer era ...the screen is playing tricks again ...You know it is rude to ask a lady this ? Right ? You do know this ?HELLO are you listening out there ? Where are your manners ? My goodness a lady on her worst hair day would not run to a studio and have a photo made .....No ...No... NO!!!!! she would grab a scarf and cover up the mess and hide behind shuttered windows ....What are you thinking Plinky ? Have you no shame ? Show you a photo of my worst hair day ...I think not ...so here in stead is a beautiful flower photo I took a while back ...I want you to know you made the flower cry ........

Chocolate or Vanilla?

Chocolate or vanilla?Both thank you and time any where

The Lesser of Two Evils

What's the lesser of two evils: Body odor or bad breath?





Now you have done it Plinky ....you made me have to pull out the thing that helps relieve all angry .....I pulled out the little machine that helps one get rid of pills bumps on sweaters....I mean really who thinks up these prompts..First I don't feel the word evil fits either..... anyway ..In Alaska we are a different breed of people ...nine months out of the year we are over dressed even if you are using the layering method...and boots smell because they are worn all the time ..and in and out of warm places causes one to sweat... guessing the nice word would be perspire .......in the summer we are either camping or gardening and fighting off mosquitoes ,,,,, so don't wear a lot of perfume or deodorant because in summer it seems to attract the mosquitoes ...so here one learns to stand at distance in either season and carry lots of tick tacks in case you run into a movie star or ex governor ......So really I am not offended by either ....Guess it takes all kinds of people in life.

My Boredom Cures

How do you cure boredom?Plinkuy again you ask the inner self question ...but I needed to know what boredom is...so searched the wikipedia and it says Boredom is an emotional state experienced during periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in their surroundings.....hum?that about sums up me ......when there needs to be thinking through things or one has grown tired of every day things... I iron............I pull out the ironing board and the iron and the stack of clothes in the ironing basket get a once over....while ironing I talk to myself or scream out things to the non existent person in the room...on and on til the basket is empty or the problem is ironed out in myself ...



And what's your Plan B if you find you're still bored?I add music to the mix and dance around while ironing ....



The photo I added is a tangle of ice and hoarfrost covered twigs on a tree in my front yard
