Versatile? I wonder …

I never do these award thingies, but for some reason when I saw this one on Cactus, I wondered, and wondered, and wondered. And then I decided to sit down and do a few sentences, maybe not the whole blurble of it, and I'm not going to 'nominate' people (you can do it, you can, …

An Ugg-ly Battle – Again

I'd like to point everyone to another incident where a company has placed a bar on the use of a word when that word has been in common usage throughout the world for longer than man has been wearing sheepskin boots. Have a look here (especially this bit: Deckers use the brand name UGG Australia, …

The Soggy, Squishy, Centre Sag Syndrome

(of the Wees in Pee, is what I means) Try saying that five times! Yes, it's update time. For what? For this: What on earth is that? look to the link below: https://mythsofthemirror.com/2019/02/27/8-reasons-to-love-a-ninny-rhino/ And I have to be honest, because the only person I'd be lying to is myself, so here it is, the evidence …

Numbers and things

Okay, it's showing off. 30k in ten days. It's taking two sessions a day, and commitment to updating the Ninny Rhino goal tracker (and I learned that the tracker has a stats page!) to see just how it's going. It may look impressive, but some of that is notes. I always do at least as …

The Noddy Dog

Do you know what it is? I mentioned it in a story, and for some reason, people who saw it don't seem to know what it is. Ever seen one of the hula-dancing girls on the dash of a car? Or the dog? I tried to find a picture of one, but couldn't find a …

Discourse

The question raised by #FPQ “Do you believe that anyone can really experience anything objectively? Why or why not?” The first reaction was almost shock. Objective? Humans? Not influenced by personal feelings? Not only is that unlikely, I think it's impossible. Why do I feel that? First, how do we learn? Is it through the force-feeding …

And What Then?

I have a friend - sad, I know, only one - and that friend asked: Why do you write, why continue to write when it all seems so futile? The question took some time to mull over, and I had to toss a few glib answers out the window (defenestration at work - and yes, …

I’d like you to meet:

Boof (aka Thom Thumper, Boss and Barbarian of all He Surveyed)     Anniversary ... 15 years    

And That’ll Cost You …

... Well, the price is never clearly stated, but I have borne some of the cost. My trees. It's hot here. And dry. It's always hot and dry in summer in Adelaide, but this is the worst and the last rain of GT 4mm was in September. I empty the laundry and bathwater onto the …

Out of …

Words. Ever have those times when the story wants to be told, things want to happen, it's all there ready to run its race, and then ... nothing. Not a single word comes into play. I'm sure there's a name for this. But, just to be different, I'm going to give it a shape and …
