Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Three

[DancingHeretik]

LOL. Some parts I have cut entirely-- you have no idea how much time I have wasted with ideas/theories which have been discarded. I have tossed whole chapters. Then there are digressions (you already know that I am an expert derailler) and my own flow of thoughts-- I end up moving paragraphs with regularity. On review, I think "why did I miss that?", add a paragraph or comment, and then discover that I already covered that a page later. Nonfiction has its own problems.

I'll never forget the first time I used a word processor. An English teacher in college insisted we use these new-fangled machines to write one of our papers. I was reluctant and irritated. But, I did it.

OMG! What a difference! It's not just the savings in trouble of having to rewrite the revisions. What amazed me was how much it helped with the thinking process! To have things instantly changed instead of dealing with lines scratched out and arrows to indicate the new desired arrangement.

He definitely made his point. I was sold!

I first used word processing on my thesis for grad school. So much easier.

I had an old typewriter that had belonged to my mother, when I got my Brother word processor, it was like magic. A whole new world opened up.

but I'm my own worst critic

Surefire way to no longer be your own worst critic: send your drafts to me for editing and review. You'll instantly become your SECOND worst critic. Positive reference available which confirms the preceding claim.

After the beta reads, and more edits, I have a professional editor who gives me enough grief, thank you.

It's not fair to hold your surprises for the hangout. Must share here too. If I was a betting man I would bet it had something to do with a camera. Now if we could only get Mary some speakers we would be set!

I expect to get my neckloop tomorrow. No sense adding to the noise pollution. A neckloop turns HA's into earbuds.

Not possible to share it here......and that would be a great bet!! I'm at my son's house, so can have the camera on. Will be able to be on here tonite, him and his wife are gonna stay at her mom's tonite, so I"ll have the house to myself.

I thought it was pretty crappy how that was done.

Well I put an inquiry about my package with the PO and they actually found it. It's on its way back here. Making a grand tour of the US. Should have in in the next couple of days.

I'm with you, I quit on page 2.

I'm with you, I quit on page 2.

I searched for post by Smokey Joe in the thread and saw 10 more announced early this afternoon (none of us). Have not checked tonight and probably will not check either.

I almost forgot. Went by Home Depot today and they are running a special buy offer that some may be interested in.

They have 2 each Philips 8.5w (60w) bulbs in a package for $4.95. Best price I have seen so far - do not know if all Home Depot's are running the sale, but I stocked up.

That's a reall good prices. I have just about every bulb in the house converted to LED and since most of my lighting is built in I won't be able to take them with me. Gonna have to start all over again down south. Oh well, what's a mother to do?!?

I'm having a really hard time tonight, so I came here to lean my friends. I had to take my kitty to the rainbow bridge today. She was mine for 14 wonderful years, my best fur baby ever. I knew it was coming but it still hit me so hard. Thanks for listening.
