I have to admit that all compliments honestly make me suspicious. sad, I know. not sure why. insecurity and paranoia in unhealthy amounts, I suppose. the old fellow was not creepy at all, he was sweet. but he had white hair and moved slowly and was not threatening at all. if he'd been my age and I knew he could outrun me and/or over-power me? might've been a bit creepy.

He sounded a bit gallant and wanting to return a compliment (but I wasn't there and if he was creepy, then UGH). When we were at the airport the other day I got chided by a worker for leaving our baggage for a couple minutes to stand in line with Mike. I apologized and he said something about my "winning smile" making it alright. That made me smile even more. You ARE beautiful -- take the compliment, sweetie! (And I LOVE the "she knew how to make do" epitaph -- amen, sister.)chris h.http://www.writingbyear.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663468186545705233.post-10724021060454002982012-09-26T15:08:10.621-04:002012-09-26T15:08:10.621-04:00Facie, I got a mailer today (it was one of those g...Facie, I got a mailer today (it was one of those generalized big postcard mailers) reminding me that ID is required for voting, and that if I didn't have a driver's license I can get a photo ID for free at the Driver License Center. (If I have a week to stand in line, that is...) (just kidding. not really.)<br /><br />Never too late to get thing in order, as long as you're this side of the ground and thinking clearly about it! : )<br /><br />melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859797507235379859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663468186545705233.post-70955444915265843732012-09-25T12:43:45.552-04:002012-09-25T12:43:45.552-04:00I don't even want to tell you about the state ...I don't even want to tell you about the state of my will as I am pretty sure you chided me about it when I wrote a post about it something like a year ago (probably longer).<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what happens in PA with the voter ID thing. Hopefully people will have taken the proper measures. I am betting that it is going to be a heavy news/social media day for that reason as much as it will be because it is a presidential election.Faciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165861407055831754noreply@blogger.com
