Creativity Revisited
In this prompt reply from last year, I talked about chasing creativity. Ironic that I have been coming up dry on the creative front for quite awhile now. The difference this time? I’m not chasing it. I think, looking back on that prompt, that I have learned in the past year not to bother chasing…

NTT Showcase: 12.14.24 Edition
Hello all, and welcome to the final NTT Showcase of 2024. Looking back, it’s been a heck of a year in many, many ways. But looking back at this specifically, it’s been case of growing bigger and bigger every week. To a degree that is, quite frankly, shocking to me. 😄 I would not have…

Under The Influence (Updated: 12/24/24)
12/24/24: Again, since I am prohibited from answering the prompts, I decided to revisit this one, add some pics and make some other additions. Those additions will be in bold. The rest is the post in its original form from last year. This could be a very, very long list, as I feel we are…

Ho, Ho, Freakin’ Ho
No, I’m not a pimp, ok? 😄 I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. Regardless of what you observe, I hope it’s a joyous and restful time for you. Things have been a bit off kilter for me the past month or so, so my presence has…

Kymber’s Get To Know You #46
These are my answers for Kymber’s Get to Know You #46. Check out her blog for this, and other, excellent posts! Would you say you’re more of an extrovert or an introvert? I would say I slightly lean toward the introverted side. I grew up with no siblings, so I was always perfectly content to…

Prompt Reply – 12/20/23 (AKA: I’m Out Of Prompts!)
12/20/24: So, it would seem I have finally hit that wall. I am unable to answer any of the upcoming daily prompts as far out as I can see. To that end, I figured I would repost my reply from last year, and funnily enough, my answer is still the same. A couple weeks back…

It’s Gone
I had intentions of using this image to write a poem about my grandfather. Unfortunately, words have been failing me these days. I tossed around words, phrases, ideas. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I know I am far from the only one to have encountered this. I am sure it’s far more common than I even dare…

Hard To Say, Really
This one is tough to answer, since at this time last year, I was freshly unemployed and trying to figure out just what the hell I was going to do. I don’t think I had a picture of what I was going to be doing a year from that point. I was more concerned with…

One Year Ago Yesterday
So, it was just over a year ago when I registered here on WP. I don’t really know what I was thinking when I did it. 😄 I never considered myself the “blogging” type, and in a lot of ways I really still don’t. Nothing against it at all, just never seemed like something that…

No Theme Thursday (Weekend Edition): 12.14.24
Hello all and welcome to this (slightly) late edition of NTT. Apologies, but due to health issues, things are not lining up completely yet. I am going to run this NTT a bit longer and ask that folks have their submissions completed by Sunday, 12/22/24. I will then post the round up on 12/23/24 for…

NTT Showcase: 12.05.24 Edition

Please accept my sincerest thanks for all your excellent creations. As always, they were a joy to read. Your participation is greatly appreciated. 😊 If I missed any due to…

Back. Well…Sort Of
I hope this post finds everyone well. As I said in my last post, I have not been well lately, and I am still not really 100%. Right now, my energy levels are exceptionally low. I ended up with a nasty sinus infection that left one side of my face feeling like it had a…

Ink Stained Love
Today I received a very pleasant surprise in my mailbox. When I went to fetch my mail, I found a package from our very own E-Dawg, Ernest Federspiel. Within said package was a brand spanking new copy of his first published book, Ink Stained Love, with a personal message from the author himself! To say…

A Bit Of Both, Really
“A bit of both” might be a bit of a misnomer. It would be more accurate to say that I am a night person who wants to be a morning person. Most of my working life has been spent on either 2nd or 3rd Shift hours. For a lot of years that worked out just…

Hell Yes!
I most definitely love eating pizza. Yes indeed! Wait. What? That wasn’t the question? Ah, well…Too bad. 😄 Yes, I changed it. Again. The original question is one of those, much like politics and religion, I feel can be quite divisive. Not feeling that energy, sorry. I say to each their own. You like meat?…

Action in action
Another post from the archives. This one is interesting to look back on for me. I did indeed complete the 8-week course and earned multiple certifications, with, I am proud to say, the highest completion rate in the history of the program. I don’t recall off the top of my head, but it was between…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 11.29.24
To: All Forward Units From: Gorilla HQ The creative well has been relatively dry lately. Hence the pulling up of old posts. I reread through a few and thought they might be worth bringing back for the heck of it. Old El Paso Stuffed Nachos? Hell to the yes. Nope, still no endorsement deals. 🙄…

Most All of Them
I’ve been around animals most of my life, so I tend to like, or at least respect, all of them. I can’t recall a time when my family didn’t have animals of some type around. Big dogs, small dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, a lizard. We’ve run a pretty good gamut, I must admit. Sometimes they…

Happy Thanksgiving ’24
To everyone who is celebrating today, have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! I would say don’t eat too much, but that’s half the fun this time of year. 😄 Take care, be grateful, and enjoy!
