What Am I Doing This Evening, You Got To Be Kidding

Daily writing prompt
What are you doing this evening?
View all responses

I think the writing prompt person is running out of ideas. First of all, this is Wednesday Evening. Not a big night for excitement or painting the town. Fix dinner, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed. I think we need some new ideas for writing prompts so let me be of some assistance.

  1. Would you castrate Trump if you had the chance and how painless would you make it?
  2. Do you think the USA should be led by people in their 80’s?
  3. Is climate change related to animal feces?
  4. Do you think that Aaron Rodger’s Achilles is really torn?
  5. Do you wish the South had successfully seceded from the Union in the in 1860’s
  6. Should West Virginia still be a State?
  7. Will the sun ever come up in the West?
  8. Is there really a heaven?
  9. How many illegal drugs have you sold this week?
  10. Who is smarter, a dog, a cat or a Republican? No, this is not a trick question
  11. Does a bear really shit in the woods?

You’re welcome, no charge.

Red Flag Personality Traits

Daily writing prompt
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
View all responses

The big red flag for me is when I meet someone and within 5 minutes they tell me one or more of their accomplishments. One time I met a veterinarian and within 5 minutes of the conversation, she worked in that she had a Ph. D. in physiology. Now, how do you do that? It goes hand in hand with how many times someone says I. I did this. I went there. I ran a company. Granted after you meet someone and become acquaintances over a period of weeks or months, during the course of conversations you might even ask a question of what this person did during their career or job. You are the one that is initiating this interaction. To be honest I am not interested why a person is so compelled to mention some of their accomplishments in such a short time. Maybe it is from some form of insecurity, but what person is not insecure at times. To me it just shows a form of self centeredness that is probably so ingrained in this person, that nothing you say or do is ever going to matter. This does not make you unique. They probably do not care what anybody is feeling or doing in their life at the moment. For these people, the center of the universe is themselves. Certainly this is ridiculous because everybody knows that I am the center of the universe😉.

My Ideal Week

We have to start somewhere so let’s go Monday Through Sunday. Playing golf 5 of those days. Playing well would add icing on the cake but it is not necessary. Since I am the cook of the house, I would like all my meals to turn out to be very delicious. We usually go out one night to a bar restaurant and that is a good experience. Sleeping well is a must which I usually do as long as I don’t get too big of beer buzz on the night we go out. The Pirates winning 7 in a row. I know it’s just supposed to be an ideal not miraculous week. This is football season so all my teams winning. It did not happen this week to say the least. The most important part of an ideal week is to stay healthy and not fall down. The bottom line is things do not have to be perfect but avoiding disaster will make any week ideal.

Feeling Great

Daily writing prompt
How are you feeling right now?
View all responses

Feeling great. Normal aches and pains for a 73 year old but nothing major. Able to walk 3 to 5 miles per day and golf 4 to 6 times a week. I used to jog but a bum ankle keeps me from doing that. Mentally feeling good, by keeping busy, exploring new ideas and just enjoying retirement. This is morning and I am a morning person so looking forward to a good day. I really do not know how I could feel any better. Thank you very much.

It Should Be Habits

Daily writing prompt
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?
View all responses

If you do only one daily habit to improve your life, then you are in big trouble. In fact, almost everything you do should somehow improve the quality of your life. For my own wellbeing, I walk 3 to 5 miles every day. I meditate at least 10 to 20 minutes daily. I do various things to try a keep my mind sharp. I golf or do something golf related every day. I try and eat in moderation with a good variety of foods. I try to create something daily either through writing or cooking. The most important thing I do daily is take a moment in the morning and a moment late at night to be thankful for all the blessings, good health and luck that I have had over the years. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think that I could have done just a little bit better on these habits, but I know that is what gives me by human quality. I am always satisfied with my day because I know I am doing the best I can do at my own level of awareness.

Searching online

Daily writing prompt
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
View all responses

I do not remember the last thing I searched for but mostly it is off the cuff stuff like how old is this celebrity or well known person. Who did what movie etc. The main reason I decided to respond to this prompt was to say most search engines suck. If you are looking for a particular subject most of the early results are from things that were written in 2010 or even earlier. Whoever is responsible for the results of search engines is one lazy individual. I personally think that there are just pay offs involved. You never know how many words to type either. Type too many and you get all kinds of results that are not related to what you are looking for. Do not type enough words and you get too broad of results. Don’t tell me about quotes either, they suck too. It just feels good to write this again, ALL SEARCH ENGINES SUCK. Man, do I feel better.

My Name

Where did your name come from?

I was named after my father, but I did not have to go through that big Bob, little Bob thing, or was not even called Junior. My Dad was always referred to by his middle name, Walter. Few people even knew I was named after him. It was so nice to never hear, which Bob do you want. It was a little thing but did make life so much easier.
