A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes. I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

Robin Moyer Every day has an associated color. Red, yellow, pink, green-day/grey-evening, orange, sky-blue, dark-blue/purple. Older people follow the colors more than youth but most people know the day's color. Tan is worn by government officials. Police have their own color as do the military branches. Each monarch has a color associated with them as well. As do many places. Udon is orange after the flowering tree (January, February). I suspect Sisaket is yellow. Not that different from the US in some ways. Maroon was the color of my high school and also the U of Montana. Colors are not worn to funerals (black/white is appropriate) and black isn't worn to weddings (pastels are the way to go as the wedding party may be in white or red). Kitti: I miss old friends and talking to family. I'm old... so... that's to be expected. Some will die without me ever saying goodbye because... My family kept secrets. Found a cousin through DNA but did my sister share his address? Or that of another who lived within driving distance? The family gatekeepers have saddened me beyond Beyond. Sure... I get that they don't matter to you... but me? Do I matter? DNA did bring up some details that don't match the family stories... but generations of 'forgetfulness' severs the Past. (exercise) = Exor.

"I understood it to be phatic: a stranger’s way of saying I am a fellow human looking out for the youngest member of our tribe." Phatic: denoting or relating to language used for general purposes of social interaction, rather than to convey information or ask questions. Utterances such as hello, how are you? and nice morning, isn't it? are phatic. But... not for everyone. When I ask, in English, I often really welcome a response. 15 desember 15 ธันวาคม exor.
