Do me a pre-Christmas favor, please.
Don't tell any more kids with December birthdays "you'll make it up to them at Christmas."
I have met so many sad adults who were ignored as kids, even though they never got to choose the month they were born in!

Someone update me, please.
Has anyone ordered a new book from Amazon that has been delivered in a safe, adequate package?
Such as, a padded envelope or box
My hardcover journal came in clear shrink-wrap with the shipping label stuck to it.
Yes, the cover got crunched. How bloody wasteful.

Thank-you notes after Christmas won't be hard.
That is, if you start NOW by posting your thanks.
Some of my best finds of the day look like mini ESSAYS.
Thoughtful posts take time to construct.
I appreciate every person here who does that.
You're all star "skeeters."

This is so good/funny/TRUE, Doug.
Some superheroes are unknown, because they've never had opportunities to use their secret powers.
But they're ready, too.
True Badassery!

Happy December 1st! It is officially the Christmas season and to celebrate, I made a Bubble Gum Pop Art advent calendar!
It's been a crazy year for me and the project, and next year is looking even crazier! Thanks for being here with me this festive season.
24 days 'till the big guy is here! 🎅

In a poorly-plowed Walmart parking lot, I did the splits on the slick snow-pack.
I tried to be like a Nicholas Brother. Could I just put it in reverse and come out of the splits?
Nope. Some things only happen in movies, I thought, as I was sprawled on the pavement, laughing my snowy ass off.

So funny. You've got quite a good-looking creation here, Scott! If anyone could pull this off, it's YOU.
Thank you so much to every person out there in the internet world for being so nice to me all year long and checking out the nonsense I make. I hope you and your family have a great day and a very Happy Thanksgiving! #Thanks #Thanksgiving #turkeydrop #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

No box. No padded mailer. Just shrink-wrap and a shipping label from Amazon. Why wouldn't both covers get crunched and mangled? I paid for a new hardcover journal. Instead, this mess is what they offer. Beware!

A simpler version would be, "Don't press any buttons until I'm done talking, okay?"

Every time I call a business, the pre-recorded voice says, "Listen carefully. All of our options have changed!"

I'm tired of the voice-mail saying "Please leave a BRIEF message."
I think I have crafted the perfect reply:
"I have completed my novel manuscript. It's only 900 pages. Ready? CHAPTER ONE."

First snow of the season here. No accumulation. Just a dusting of powdered sugar.
Resist the crabby crabs who want to grouse about the news.
"Just wait til the snow's up to your waist!" they'll warn. "No fun then!"
Ignore them. Beauty and magic are free for the taking.

I don't think Frankenstein ever sewed, you only need one thread to connect all those parts.
I always thought of Frankenstein as a quilt that came to life!

Often my book chapters are stitched together from scraps, notes, & late-night thoughts. I used to judge this as messy. Now I call it Frankensteining. My work is made of many parts. But unlike the Creature's creator, I don’t abandon it, I stay & nurture it.
