Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: FC experiment

MyfriendSharon invited us to an open house. One of the options was facilitated communication, which Max was very eager to try.  He told me that the words typed were his own.

2018 Reading List

  Lately i've been doing a lot of reading.  Possibly too much, but hey, to read i don't have to move those pesky knees.
  Anyway, i've compiled a list of many of the books i've read this year, with a few scattered comments.   Hope you enjoy!

Honey Sweetie

  Now that i'm "a certain age," walking with a cane, suddenly everyone seems to want to call me "honey" or "sweetie."
  It's hard to not resent this.
  Those are terms of AFFECTION, for friends & family whom you love.
  These people calling me this are strangers, usually in a service position.
  You think i'm a sweet little old lady?  Maybe someday.  Just because i don't want to bother with hair color and have bad knees doesn't mean you can take liberties with me.
  When i was a sexy young thing, men i didn't know would do this.  That was kinda creepy, though they seemed respectful enough in other ways.  i hope this doesn't happen so much in today's climate.
  Maybe it's a way of trying to be friendly to someone perceived as weaker.  Max gets this a lot too, and it makes him hopping mad.
  So if you want to address a stranger this way, JUST DON'T.
