I was watching T.V. when, for some strange reason, one of the commercials caught my attention:

It was a company bragging about how they were "making plants taste like meat."

Haven't cows been doing that forever?

         I've often thought the same thing. If I want a plant based dish, I'll have a salad!
They tell us highly processed foods are bad for us. How much higher does the processing of plants have to be to imitate meat?
Pumpkin Author Icon - I'll pay real money to see a head of lettuce or cabbage exclaim "Mooooo."

Happy Square Root Day

This May 5, 2025, is Square Root Day, an event that only happens nine times each century. It occurs when the day and month are both the square root of the last two digits of the year. The square root of this year, ending in 25, is five.

Enjoy!

Then, by tomorrow, when she does her next set of badge thingies, Ẃeβ࿚Ẃỉtcĥ Author Icon won't be able to tell she lost her streak because, you know, she doesn't do math. Hahaha!

Just pretend you're at the beginning of a new 7-day streak...because you are!
Schnujo's Giving Away GPs Author Icon - Don't judge. I'm progressing to Day 3. *Laugh*
Ẃeβ࿚Ẃỉtcĥ Author Icon, hey, good job!

This is my 3rd try to get my 5 today. I say it's my 3rd try because I keep getting distracted and forgetting what I'm trying to do. For some reason, I keep leaving WdC to go do homework (that was, in my defense, due last Sunday). Good grief! Is it REALLY that hard to stay on task?!? (Of course, if I could stay on task, I probably would have already turned in that homework, so there's that...)

Apparently. Now to find a blog and post in it. That's it, Schnujo. Just 1 last task. You can do it! I believe in you!


15+ years. It's been a good run and I've enjoyed every minute of it but it's time to take a break.

I've just bought a house in Playa del Carmen and the next 6 months will be hectic - selling my house, selling all the furniture, wading through paperwork in Spanish that I don't speak *Laugh* - so, for now, I'll be leaving the site.

I want to say "Thank You" to all my friends (you both know who you are *Laugh*) and especially to The StoryMaster and The StoryMistress for their support and dedication to making WDC an inviting, supportive, and unique place.

I'll be around a bit until the end of the month but just wanted to acknowledge the WDC community and how much you've meant to me.

Oh, I can already smell the mescal and street tacos!

I can still keep track of you on *Facebook*, I guess.
Be well and stay safe!
Lilli ☕ Author Icon - I'll still be around, just in a more limited capacity. I'd NEVER abandoned my online family. *Rolling*


I thought you were kind of leaving forever-ish. I'm happy to hear you'll still be around-ish! YAY!!!

Now, get your wife, Rosemary Author IconMail Icon, over to say hi/bye. I miss her. *Heart*
Signs that I'm getting older...

I can't remember how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6, or 500 in Roman Numerals.

I M LIVID

Happy Monday... *BigSmile*

Joy Author Icon - That how I was taught to count originally. *Rolling*
Crossword puzzles require Roman Numerals occasionally.
I can't remember high school math, even though I got good grades in it.
Personally I rarely count above fifty, I can't remember the Roman numeral for it
Complain, complain, complain...

I don't find anything to complain about. I bring my own coffee, leave my coat in my car that I park on your neighbor's lawn.
I'm coming to breakfast when Joy Author Icon is at 🌖 HuntersMoon Author Icon because a dozen eggs in Vegas is 14.99. Maybe she'll bring extra eggs if I bring extra coffee.

Lyn's a Witchy Woman Author Icon - I sure will. I didn't know mine were that cheap!
I think I've become an archeologist. *Laugh* I've just found an old (no pun intended) write and edited the item in my portfolio:

Celebrating my anniversary this year:



It was more expensive than the toilet paper I gave her in 2020 *Laugh**Rolling*

Eggs are expensive in America? Or is that the joke!
Jellyfish Author Icon - Sent you a response. *Laugh*
That reminds me of the birthday present my father gave his mother one year. She liked to garden, so he gave her a big bag of manure! She loved it.
People scoffed when I posted this on November 6th:

Good Morning

The name: Amerika

I'll bet more than a few will rethink their position now.

Purple Catching Up Author Icon - I'm very sorry to hear about your BP, Miss T. I agree with your reason for it rising. But if there's one thing I've learned from the news, FB, X and every platform, there is NO room for "agree to disagree" or intelligent discourse. Oh well.
Joy  Author Icon
Would any position matter now?
To me, this whole thing is advancing like a horror-mystery movie. I am watching for the ending with trepidation and curiosity at the same time. Who knows what will work at the end, is my conciliatory question-thought.
Well, curiosity killed the kitten!
Joy Author Icon - Horror show indeed! Actually, based on the reporting, it was RFK Jr that killed the kitten. (Sorry, I couldn't resist *Facepalm*)
I've noticed that a lot of folks are posting their favorite music videos which, I guess, reflects their individual peculiarities. For some reason, this song from my youth leapt to mind.



I guess that explains a lot... *Rolling*

Dave Author Icon - Why doesn't your choice surprise me? *Rolling*
And this is what pops into my head as I listen...

I will never not love this song!! And the many Family Guy cutaways it led to.
WITH EVERYONE ANNOUNCING THEIR QUILL NOMINATIONS, SHARE THE JOY!

Be happy for others' good fortune.

This Is A Public Service Announcement

Just announced on Twitter X Truth Social...

Beginning January 20th, to fulfill economic promises, the Department of Homeland Security and the Immigration Service will start deporting Seniors instead of illegal immigrants to lower Social Security and Medicare costs.

Older people are easier to catch and can't remember how to get back home.

Be sure to forward this to all your friends and families to that they'll know what happened to you.

See you on the bus!

You mean some did not know this already???
WAIT!!! Where are they sending us? I need to know how to pack!
JACE  Author Icon
Don't give them any ideas, Ken. Some of them are *Crazy* enough to implement such a plan.
The year is winding down but I can't just leave well enough alone. *Laugh*

One final ** Animated Images For Use By Premium+ Only ** before we end 2024.

Since I hardly write anymore, I've been updating pieces that pop up on the Random Review and getting comments. Occasionally, I find one that I've totally forgotten but shouldn't have such as:

         Wow My Friend, just Wow. I'll try to write an Anniversary Review tonight! *Smile*

         On a separate note, I will be in Washington DC for a final time (as of now). If I stay where I was last time, I'll be at a Hampton Inn in Glenarden. I'm not sure how close that is to you, but we could always meet half-way of course. It would be the first week of February, 2/3 thru 2/7, arriving on 2/2, leaving on 2/8. Let me know your thoughts? Anyone else in that area are welcome to join us, or me if Ken can't make it.
A little mid-week humor:

At least the kids won't be disappointed...
