NaBloPoMo 2016 - Day 29
Nov. 29th, 2016 09:02 pmLovely day - 13 C, sunny, dry. I have pansies and snapdragons blossoming, and teeny tiny new strawberries. I might be living in an AU.

Prompts:
Nov. 28: What was your most precious possession when you were a kid?
It changed over time, of course. I had a doll named TeeCee that was with me from the time I was about six months old. I had a sparkly purple bike with a banana seat and a sissy bar that had mod flowers on the saddle that made me the envy of the other kids. I had my own private record player which made me very popular. I had an amethyst ring (my birthstone) that, in retrospect, had an ugly setting, but there you go.
Nov. 29: What was your most embarrassing or scary trip to the doctor?
My son was four years old and had begun projectile vomitting, then started convulsing. That scared the crap out of me. Luckily, he was okay - it was just the a bad case of a stomach bug leading to dehydration and as soon at they got his fever down and got him rehydrated he was okay. But it was scary. It was terrifying.

One Word Prompt: Culture. Which, as I had hammered into me in the first year anthropology, is "extrasomatic means of adapting to an environment." (Thank you, Lewis Binford!) All of which sort of explains the way I see the world. I tend to look at things (most things - many, many things) as adaptive or maladaptive, through the prism of evolutionary advantage or disadvantage. It might not be the 'right' way to group things, but it is 'a' way. Mostly, it works. (Also, I am a lumper as opposed to a splitter. Cuz you wanted to know - you know you did.)

Rogue One. Every one seems to think I should care. I can muster no interest whatsoever. How about you? |
