Thank you for the good words. I too am fearful of writing the wrong thing and becoming a target. How very sad, that at 75 yo born and raised in US that fear is a factor. I was born a Democrat but as I grew and learned, I was never fearful when the other party was in office, knowing everyone had the country’s best interest at heart. So much more I could write but just want to thank you for letting me feel less alone.
I was unaware that you have video chats. Talk about a bonus. I can't make it tomorrow, but I look forward to attending. Do you have them randomly? Are they the third Thursday of the month? Something else?
For a little word humor, I stumbled across this (it was in meme form as a pic):
Synonyms are weird because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, it sounds nice and cozy, but if I invite you to my cabin the woods, you're going to die.
My favorite is explaining the difference between a 'butt dial' and a 'booty call'.
That's a nice bit of wordplay! Thanks for sharing!
I've been offering a video question and answer session twice a month. I've been changing up the dates depending on the preferences of my readers, so it's still in flux. Let me know some days and times that will work for you and I can schedule it for one of the January meetings. Thanks Wendy!
Thanks, Walter, for the heads up. I’m in, in whatever form the future dictates. Also, in reference to your Thursday calls, will there ever be another time you offer? Most times, I cannot make it at that time.
Hope you don’t mind me asking, but are you still on Medium & if so, could you provide a link? I checked your profile & didn’t see one- I hadn’t thought about Substack getting bought out, but better to be prepared
Yup, I’m there: https://medium.com/@walterrhein You couldn’t find me even with a search? That’s interesting if it’s the case! Send me yours as well please.
No I only looked on your Substack profile- I deleted the Medium app awhile back trying to clear up some tstorage space. Ditching a bunch of mainstream media sources helped with that though- I’ll pass along the link when I set my account up again :)

Thank you Lynn! My anxiety is causing me to write more than I ever have. Let's hope it won't be as bad as our worst fears.

Try this one on for size:
Forgive me, Father, I have sinned.
Sorry, Daddy, I've been naughty.

That sounds like fun. I can most often work around any time. Tomorrow is a one-off conflict. I now have a reason to look forward to the new year... ;)
I’d been doing it on Friday, usually I only get one or two people so it’s a fun thing and it’s been productive so far

Yes, I can shift it around, what days/times work for you?
Another great piece

Awesome! If you're going to submit stories, please send them for me to look at.
