Beverly, it's possible, perhaps even probable, that was the real cause, but I hope I described the experience vividly enough to explain why I've never tried to find out.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Of course she's looking forward to your propposal, Jilli, but I'm glad she had the presence of mind to say so. I hope the three weeks fly by.
i'll have to ponder the drabble.

Not that much pondering needed, as it turns out. A little autobiography because it amuses me. 100 words including title.
Why I Self-Identify as a Math-person, not a Lit-person
I was underemployed, living on a friend's charity, with a lot of time and few responsibilities when I came across a John Steinbeck collection and read Tortilla Flats. The characters scrounged free eggs and bought jugs of wine whenever they somehow came into money. Steinbeck always mentioned how much those jugs cost, and since I knew how much Hearty Burgundy went for at Safeway, I calculated the rate of inflation from Steinbeck to me. It has stuck with me ever since; cheap, red wine as an economic indicator.

Because books.
Anyone still interested in doing weekly drabbles?
This thread is so lonely, there are cobwebs in here. And I miss the drabbling, writing-talking companionship. I'd be happy to post some prompts on Mondays if anyone is up for it.

Wooo! I was just thinking about this the other day, how we haven't done them in ages!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'll try. At least I can help think of prompts.

I might even play.
Maybe.
If I don't chicken out.

There's nothing to be chicken about!
And hey you! ::tacklehugs JenP::
