      Susan Kane; they're the one body part guaranteed not to gain weight :)

      Sharon Qualls; try wearing lighter weight earrings? I noticed the heaviness when I wore Christmas ornament earrings to work each December, and was always glad to take them off each night.

    Wow! Such a feat to hear this!! Who knows what other marvellous things Maxine is capable of! What a cheek!

    I never wore earrings when I went to high school, so I can't claim to be able to do the same!

      Lee; I didn't wear earrings in high school either. Jewellery wasn't allowed apart from a watch and Catholic girls were allowed to wear their crucifix if they had one. When I started work I got my ears pierced with my first paycheck, piercing and sleepers cot a whopping $6 :)

    I am with Sharon here. My earrings still fit, but they do hang lower than they did.

      Elephant's Child; you must have worn heavy danglers too. I always chose lightweight earrings or studs of some type. It was Mum's idea and over time I saw her point.

    I love this :) And it's not something that is true of all jewellery, either - just earrings :)

    jenny_o; that's true. Rings I wore years ago now don't even fit on my pinky finger.

Sunday Selections # 726

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
