I Do Not Mind Being An Enigma to Others...

Actually, it's kind of fun that at the age of upper eighties that people think of you as kind of weird. For instance, today on returning to my door from a visit with Sis, I caught a friend en passant down the long hallway with her walker and I invited her in for a visit. Just so you know, I have...

A Woman's Right to Change Her Mind...

"But you said....." doesn't count for anything if it's a man saying it to a woman. I know....I'm a woman and I've changed my mind. Women understand each other and know how important it is to be able to change their minds even at the last minute, and no matter what. A woman is wise to... Sign in to see full entry.

I Solved One Problem Today...

......But solving that problem brought several more problems connected to the one that needed solving in the first place. Now I'm afraid to go any further lest I be inundated with related puzzles and problems. Living in modern times with modern accessibility to things that are supposed to make life...

Do Octogenarians Have Fun?

I just got back home from the birthday party of a lady who turned 80. More than half of the ladies were already ladies in their eighties (and one gentleman who didn't stay long) and the other half were already older. Most of the time spent there was in laughter. The other half of the time was in... Sign in to see full entry.

Places to Go and Things to Do...

A beautiful and sunny day in Kansas City. The snow is as sparkling and as white as it's ever been, but the warm sunshine and the street snow removers have done a wonderful job, so it is safe and fun to be out and about, and people are at it....going that is. I don't write about Kansas City hardly... Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Write for a Certain Reaction? Or...

.....do you write just to be writing? If you write for a certain reaction to your writing and that response is not forthcoming, do you leave it anyway, or do you erase the whole thing and begin again, or even perhaps just forget about it and go on to something else? I'm a bit touchy that way and I... Sign in to see full entry.

Years and Years Ago...

"Some houses remember. Some refuse to forget!"......a tagline by Verwayne Greenhoe I've been writing on Blogit now for nearly 22 years and a lot of words have gone under the bridge and down the stream of life never to be remembered again. At one point, I decided to try writing a ghost story and I... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Get Dressed If You're Not Going Out?...

.....And you're not having company, and your PJ's are warm and cozy and comfy. And. it is snowing outside, white everywhere, the coffee pot is going, the TV is on, the computer is handy and working, the phone is available, and Sis is down the hall so close we could "Dit-Dot through the wall (if we...

Yesterday...

A totally wasted day as far as writing and posting goes. It seems as if it were catching or something.....Others here are complaining about it this morning. It started off good. I liked what I was writing.....and then it was gone....just gone...zilch....nothing. It wasn't only a Blogit thing.... It... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Not Often Perplexed Anymore...But...

Today I am! I woke to a funny unusual noise going on somewhere in this large building. I didn't pay much attention to it until I tried to flush the toilet. Then I tried to wash my hands. Nothing! I went to the kitchen....not a drop of water anywhere.....no canned or bottled water anywhere.....my... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I accidentally erased my whole Perplexities blog and everything that was in it from 2004 on. So-o-o-o-o-o, I'm beginning it again. Wonder how far I'll get before I make another big mistake.
