I do not know where to begin with this description. The time period is from 0 to now. Please don't ask how long that is. I am sure with certain clues, you will be able to figure that out.
I am writing this on my favorite old computer at home. I have a computer room that doubles as a retreat for a few of my pets when they want to be alone.
I will cover mostly current thoughts. I hope to add some pictures as I have seen in a blog. I think that to do this sharing will take a lot of work, but the pictures I have seen are well worth it.
Occasionally, I might review a flashback in mylife. I have times when I just roll that special even around in my mind until it has every possible facet examined. Usually this time is to try to figure out a "what if" scenario.
If some of my items have no zest to it feel free to say so. I think that after I have some a few trial runs, then the real me will be out for all of the world to see. Luck you! As the saying goes, "Come with me and the best is yet to be."
I've found that, for myself, thinking 1-2 steps ahead isn't difficult; it's the 3+ steps ahead that I started to get overwhelmed with all the possibilities. Which probably explains why I'm not a very good chess player!
Happy Birthday to you.
I agree that April is a great month for birthday that is filled with warm weather and lots of friends. It has all the makings for a fun time in which one can go outdoors and visit friends you missed during bad weather time.
Enjoy! Celebrate! Soak in that vitamin D from the sun!

Thank you to Soldier Mike for your read and special comments. I like the mention that the acronym is something personal. I would need a little help with X's or Qs. I had a Quincy in my class one time. He wasn't quick or quiet. I knew that he asked a lot of questions so 'Questioning' seemed to fit. He did not mind, and he enjoyed the word. If a person had a short name then I allowed the student to use their last name. I always wanted my students to have a good day.
These Blog writings are thought provoking and fun.
So since it is Spring, let me wish you and your family a nice Springtime. I was glad to see the last snow we had melted. I can take longer walks and go outside to write more.
Take care !
Soldier Mike
Thank you for your read and response on this blog. I usually keep my t-shirts for a long time. Then when they do not have to good as new look I either use them as undershirts to become a layer in winter or pajama wear. I have shirts that I bought when I went to different cities for the U. S. National Fencing tournaments that I qualified for. The older ones/shirts I keep as a way to remember the where and when I went.
As for the jeans, I seem to have gained a little weight since I retired from my sport. You can't lose it if you don't burn those calories. One cannot fence in jeans. A fencer must wear all white. White jeans are really hard to find. So the blue jeans are part of my travel ensemble.
My jeans are usually blue, elastic waist and not tapered in the legs. I grew up in the country so that style reminds me of home. I did not live on a farm but tried to help with yard work. Weeding flowerbeds in particular. It helped me see nature and find special animals. (baby birds, lizards, snakes, caterpillars, and such.)
Well I have shared enough and thank you for your reaction.
Have a nice day.
Happy Spring time.
Picking the right clothing can be a challenge, especially if, as you say, your preferred size regularly becomes unavailable. I have enough t-shirts to last the rest of my life (and I've owned some more than half my life), so jeans are my most "frequent" purchase; as I'm no longer part of the rough-and-tumble set, they last quite a while. Color selection's easy: black, tan or basic blue go with anything and support my severely limited fashion sense.
Are you kidding me?
I have quite a few that made my day. But when I read this prompt, the first song was "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree". Two lovers that were separated for a while. The man wrote a letter (if my memory has not gone ) saying he would come home to his sweetheart. When he arrived, the tree was covered with so many yellow ribbons that he must have jumped out of the car and ran into the arms of his one and only. Ah! True love forever!
The next was Kenny Roger's, "The Gambler." He is gone but this song will also live on.
The third was, "Itzy Bitzy Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" for summer time sun lovers. The refrain was so easy and cute.
Fourth was The Theme Song from MASH, "Suicide is Painless" It was used in one episode of the TV version.
Fifth: (Don't worry, I'll stop at ten) "Hey Jude" by the one and only Beatles.
Sixth: was "Suspicious Minds" by the crooner and hip shaker, Mr. Elvis Presley himself.
Seventh was "Pretty Woman"
Eighth: was "RESPECT" by Miss Aretha Franklin. I still sing it to myself today.
Ninth was "Sugar, Sugar"
Tenth: from the movie the Graduate, "Mrs. Robinson"
Now I had my musical songs like Classical Gas, Theme from the Bridge over the River Kwai, Love is Blue, and Exodus. I was a music minor in college so what can I say. I came along with a lot of classical music that I can listen to for hours. This was a fun prompt because it took me back to earlier days and let me sing or hum to my heart's content.
A comment from me about the music today is that it is sometimes too loud and really not interesting to me. I would like to know that the loud music can cause deafness and that the listeners will later regret that they had to have the music blaring as they drive their cars.
