Thank you. I feel the same about you.

Yet another reason to be glad that I have deleted my Amazon account! Next account up for deletion is Google. I've finally have weaned myself off of YouTube, but I need to see what, if anything, my gmail is still attached to.

I hope you are feeling better! Back when I was still a smoker, a cold "settling in my chest" always meant bronchitis. I wouldn't wish that feeling on any one.

While I did not do it purposefully for National Taco Day, I most definitely did have a bean and onion taco for lunch on Sunday. Go me!

I think my creativity battery is dead, so here's one from the archives: Haiku Horror Writing Prompt #1899 #touch #haikuhorrorprompt
touch me

All your dreams are desperate,
staged in black and white.
Your sleep is often restless:
you grapple with the night.

You act like you remember,
but you hold your eyes sealed shut.
Details fade and blur to gray,
concealing what they must.

Tell me what you see when your eyes are closed.
Tell me what you'll feel when your heart unfolds.
All I hear are whispers hiding from the truth.
All I taste are sour apparitions from your youth.

You are beautiful, you are loved, and you own your pronouns. I'm sorry that so many cis folks are unwilling to grow and change and embrace reality. I wish that they would drop their verbal weapons and accept trans folk as who they are and use their chosen pronouns. It's really not that hard to do.

Since I've had more than 60 years of experience on this planet, I have had ample time to learn and grow and let go of beliefs that simply do not fit reality.

This is one of the many reasons why I don't consider myself a "liberal." I am a cis-white woman who grew up learning (and willing to believe) that cis was "normal," though I certainly would not have used the term cis at that time.

That last stanza fell flat. Let's try this instead: a matter of course i became nothing but dross when your hurricane blew through the locus of my small life. You tore down the nests that sheltered me and carried me away. I settle in the ditch among litter and stones as you sally forth.

I so wanted to be Harriet when I was 10. And I admit, it was all about the dumbwaiter.

I'm in the land of Oz, as well. While the monkeys terrified me, the apple trees scared the bejeezus out of me. When the Wizard yells at the Cowardly Lion? That royally pissed me off.

My new ring should arrive mid-October.

Mary and her Typos @msamios.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
But I couldn‘t find it in my size anywhere, so I figured I would just something else that would look like an engagement ring my Grandma might have worn.

Mary and her Typos @msamios.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
And this is the ring that I saw which sent me down the Etsy rabbit hole:
Square Cut P*M Sterling Silver Blue And Clear Sapphire Ring size 7

My other “engagement” ring is a pearl solitaire that I simple adore.
Simple pearl solitaire. Vintage. Branded CNA

It will play quite nicely with my white gold wedding band. My original wedding band and engagement ring have been passed down to the next generation, as they are both gold and I no longer wear gold.

Mary and her Typos @msamios.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
So I bought myself a “sapphire“ engagement ring.
Sterling silver plated with white gold, round-cut gem (unspecified, but a deep sapphire blue), flanked by moissanite accent chips.

The idea of Demon Shrimp just opens the world to so many dark and strangely humorous possibilities, no?

Yeah, emergency services would still need to be staffed, but certainly we all could use a break from commerce and whatnot. And most importantly…no political, prescription medication, gambling, or alcohol ads should be aired.

Seriously, though. I would love for all of the months to have the same amount of weeks, and to just put the extra days at the end of the year. Those days? Should be a secular holiday period.

Because I’m ornery.

Mary and her Typos @msamios.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
But I must admit, part of me wants to try it.

Mary and her Typos @msamios.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
But I’m not going to try to prove it, because getting OUT of that position could lead to breaking something. And I worry that the “something” could be me. ;~)

She has her torso on the seat, with her legs wrapped behind, has her back arched, and arms crossed in front of her face. I’m not strong enough to do a backbend anymore, but I am still flexible.

At first, I thought the model in this picture was a contortionist. Then I looked more closely, and realized that the chair is doing most of the work, and that I could probably do that. Of course, I’d probably break a bone or two, and most likely the chair, trying to get out of that position.

I think impulse buying a whole cat is much preferred to buying a not-whole cat. If you know what I mean.
