Computers With Minds Of Their Own & Playgrounds

Happy Friday All,

Congratulations to Harvee for winning the Nancy Gideon interview drawing last night!

Last night I wrote up a fun post about playgrounds. About how I like to play on the swings (when they have ones that will work for adults). I clicked on the "Publish Post" button and all of a sudden it took me to some sort of search page or whatever and when I came back to my blog the post wasn't there at all!

Now when I'm typing up the post it automatically saves it every few minutes. So I can't figure out where it went.

So anyway I had asked what every one's favorite thing to do on the playground was and if you still did go to playgrounds?

Have A Fabulous Friday and a Great Weekend!

I'm a grandmother, does that answer your question???
I've always loved the swings and the slide. I never could manage the Monkey Bars.
All my grandkids like to climb, though.They must be stronger than I ever was!
Have a great weekend yourself, Bethany!

Tonette,

It wasn't until I became an adult and could reach up from the ground and walk the Monkey Bars that I had any sort of friendly truce with them LOL (when I was a kid, I wasn't so sure about them--although I think I played on them a little bit at friends' house, but rarely--if ever--on a playground did I get on Monkey Bars).

Grandmother or not, if you wanna swing and there's one adults can go on, go for it!

As always, thank you for dropping by :-)

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I...
