If you find yourself sitting in front of an empty white box, the cursor blink, blink, blinking at you, how long do you give it before you close the New Post screen?
Do you grasp at straws, flip channels or skip around the facie searching for any kind of spark of inspiration to turn into fodder for pontification? Do you pour another cup of coffee? Do you take the dog out, hoping some fresh air will get into your stuffy brain?
How long will you struggle with the creative, or in my case conversational, constipation of thoughts to share?
Sorry kids, I realize this was like, 15 seconds of reading time that you'll never get back. Bill me.
Fuck that, save me. Talk to me, let's have a topic day in the comments. I'll pose a question and y'all can answer it and be the dazzling, funny, endearing people that I've come to love around here.
Ok. A question. Here we go...a good one....a brilliant one....brills...really...k....
...
If you could make a major change in your life right now, a big ticket item, what would it be? Like magic wand kind of thinking here. If you had that one wish kind of moment? What would you spend your one wish on?
Right. Less than the promised brilliance, but I can't dive too deeply right now. I just don't have it in me. So take pity and tell me anyway. And go!

Does it have to be just one thing? I have a couple of good things that I'd like to see happen....... New place to live that takes Pets. And our Ex's to drop off the face of the earth! HA!
I have the urge to farm, raise animals and plant crops. To have the opportunity to work with my hands, not just my mind.
I do not post unless something that has occured makes me want to share it.
As for things....I used to want to be self-sufficiant financially to be able to leave my husband. But I see God's reason for not giving me this wish. I wish for someone to come into our home and make it liveable, a sanctuary for our finally days-not to be dramatic. Butmore that sll that, I want my grown children and their families to be healthy and financially responsible. And formy husband to be healthy.
As for material things....I would like that Cartier (sp?) love bracelet. Love it. I would also like-and not many will have seen this-that vehicle that is really like a semi-truck cab. It is not meant to have a trailer hooked onto it.
That's a good one. I'd be a squirrel farmer! No, wait, that's not a real thing. That's something weirdos with a taxidermy hobby do. Be a renowned playwright. That's the dream. But no one frequents the theater anymore so it's a pipe dream.
How about mind-explody powers, "Scanners" style? Yeah, that one.
Wait, damn! I realize I failed the test! World Peace! I want World Peace with my wish! Is it too late? Drat.
How about the power to instill basic logic in those I talk to? I want that.
Whenever someone mentions world peace I always think of the scene in Groundhog's Day when Phil keeps trying to get into Rita's pants...err...skirt!
Oh Pickleope!! Being a squirrel farmer is a noble pursuit! Don't think for an instant that it isn't a real thing!!
I'm with Josh up there. The thing I want most is to buy a farm somewhere in say West Virginia or eastern Kentucky and raise chickens, sheep, goats, and rabbits. And sell my hand dyed yarns at farmer's markets. And maybe have more babies.
Pretty sure everyone knows I'd just like Dave Grohl to worship me.
My luck he's probably really annoying or something, but I'd take my chances.
My big ticket item is to get my house ready to sell. We need to move!
i would stop being so afraid and making assumptions about how other people will act before i even give them a chance
I'd be a published author.
(So fucking selfish right?)
Okay. I want my family to be healthy.
There. I feel better now.
p.s. I don't post unless I have something to say. Which is why I intentionally ONLY post once a week so I don't feel the pressure to post. There's always something that comes up within a seven day period. Unfortunately.
