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.

Good advise!
ReplyDeletejoeh; it's excellent advice, (with a 'c'), although a few OCD people might not agree.
DeleteThank you for correcting my spelling, spell check does not when it is a real word. Just so you know, I am 71 years old and have been a terrible speller for 67 years, I am not liable to ever improve at this point so corrections will not help...kind of like pointing out a stutter to a stutterer or a limp to someone with a bad foot. It is not laziness, or stupidity, it is just a disability that I have never been able to correct. Yes, it is a pet peave of mine.
DeletePlease don't be offended or insulted. The fault is mine, sometimes I just can't help myself.
DeleteIt is a scab I have that I hate when it is picked. I have a related post soon that addresses this, don't you be offended, I still think you are a very nice, bright lady and valued blog friend.
DeleteDid you miss the misspelling of peeve? I suspect you just let it slide...LOL.
Isn't that the truth!
ReplyDeleteSharon; true enough for me :)
DeleteWorks for me!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; me too, although I haven't seen any episodes lately, I'll have to wait for the reruns.
DeleteOh yes that'll work ;)
ReplyDeleteJimmy; it sure does work, my clutter doesn't look half as bad after seeing one of those houses.
DeleteHell yes.....works ever time.
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; it does work, until I see one of those OCD shows where they scrub and bleach all day every day, but I've learned to ignore those a bit. Okay, a lot. I tell myself they're harming their health with all that bleach and anxiety.
DeleteYes, it is all relative.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; about 99.9% of life is relative. You have to find what works for you personally and ignore people who tell you to do things their way.
DeleteWhat a wonderful perspective. (Except if you have looked at a hoarders program and thought 'that doesn't look too bad to me'.)
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I have seen a house or two that would put a hoarder to shame, not so much in terms of clutter and amassed things, but the filth and stench.
DeleteThat's a far better house-cleaning tool...far better than any vacuum cleaner. I might just put "Hoarders" on continual re-wind!! :)
ReplyDeleteLee; this is why my brand new vacuum cleaner is gathering dust. I might give it a run this weekend though. Under the bed where Lola has left half her fur.
DeleteOkay...I've done that!
ReplyDeleteI also used to ask my kids about their friends' houses. "Is it as messy as ours?" I was secretly pleased when occasionally, one of them would answer, "Worse!"
Val; I've never asked my kids that, but I did ask is it nice there? mostly regarding atmosphere, I wouldn't have wanted them going to friend's places if there was fighting or any other tenseness.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it and think I will go check the schedule for the show's airtime. Really by comparison, my house is splendid.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; it hasn't been on here in Australia for some time and it's usually on later at night, being not suitable for children I suppose.
DeleteI love your artwork and follow you pots this very minute!
