Zippy windyness, reading and Tall Tale Competions??
*closes eyes and sings for Debby*
If tomorrow never comes ... (aw...man! I had little notes there and everything!  )
Rolf. Just kidding. I know that you meant tomorrow, tomorrow...right? ROFL! Sorry...I seem to be in a poking fun kind of mood. It is all DANA's Fault!
You are right: "Zippy" sounds MUCH better than "Windy". "Windy" makes it sound like you had too many beans for supper or something...and were having a hard time sitting in the chair and avoiding take off. LOL. Like I said..Blame DANA!! Hah!
But Seriously...before I get into too much trouble here...I was impressed by the length of your post. You did do a much better job then I have been doing, and then what I will probably do here myself!  So, windy or zippy...either one..WOW! LOLOL
And, being more serious...I understand totally how you feel about reading. I remember when I thought that I had *lost* reading for forever. Talk about sending me spiraling into a deep, dark depression! ARGH! That was back at the beginning of all of this RSD mess, right before and right after I finally found out that what I had was called RSD. I couldn't read anything to save my life. I mean...I could read....but...I couldn't comprehend it. I would try reading something, and I would not understand what the crap it was trying to tell me, and so I would read it again. Or, I would struggle my way through a page of a book....put the thing down because life beckoned, and when I picked it back up again I would have to go all the way back to the beginning of the book or the chapter or whatever, because I would not have retained what I had read at all, and would be completely and totally lost. I would re-read things until it was ridiculous! There would be glimmers where I would recognize a sentence or so and say "ARGH! I remember reading this!" and try to skip ahead...but would inevitably have to go all the way back, or further, because I would be lost. So...I gave up. And, I got depressed.
When I got stubborn about the whole thing, and figured out what I needed to do to get my reading back...well...it was just...I don't even know how to describe how I felt! Wonderful isn't a good enough word! Joyous doesn't describe it! Ecstatic, Exultant, and any other word that you can think up just wont cut it!
So, I understand how you feel about being able to fall into a book. And..you know what? Don't let it bother you at all that you fall to sleep while reading. I do the same thing. It is totally alright! A book is better than a movie, because all you have to do is find your place when you wake up, and start back from there! You don't loose a moment of the action or a piece of the story. And....it doesn't mean anything about the book being "good" or not if you fall to sleep. It has actually HELPED you, because it has taken you away from your pain, and allowed your mind to get away for a bit. Distracted you enough so that you were able to fall to sleep...which is something that you need to do. That ALL of us need to do, because of the constant stress and strain that we are always under due to the high levels of pain that we endure 24/7. So...enjoy your books! And...enjoy your naps! I am right there with you GF!!! In fact, this is how I will be spending most of my Winter: Hibernating under some sort of nice warm blanket with a good book! ROFL
Now...Ms Dana..
Ahem.
I believe...Madam...that you were referring to someone's ability to talk around here?
Hmmmmmmmm........ .
Ahem.
Am I correct in interpreting that as a remark about My lengthy lexicon? Hmmmmmmmmm?
Well...I have certainly never claimed to be "short winded". LOL
It is a "Gift"..you see. I come from a long line...a very, very, very long line of..well...very, very long winded folks. I was doomed, I mean blessed. As are my children. And their children...and their children's children..and so on and so forth. Just be thankful that you don't have to be in my Mom's house this Christmas with ALL of us there and accounted for. My poor Dad will be lucky to get a word in edgewise this year, what with my Mom (who is much WORSE than I am, if you can believe that! ROFL), Me, My Kids...and My BROTHER there this year! Let alone if he is able to bring his kids too (not holding our collective breathes about that...his x-wife is a...well...what she is. I will leave it at that. LOL). The din can be quite deafening and confusing to say the least. My poor Dad just kind of either sits there and nods a lot...or, he kinda does this thing where he turns in a circle, while standing in one place when we all get going, firing ideas off of one another. It is really kinda funny to watch. He has the patience of a Saint. He has to, to be able to put with all of us...and my Mom. LOL
Anyway....See?  I totally and completely embrace my...erm..."Wordiness". I have tried to be different...but it just doesn't work. So...I took a line out of Popeye's book: "I yam what I yam, and that's all that I yam!" I figure that if folks don't like it...well...they can lump it! ROFL
And...you bet your boots I would win a "Who talks/writes the most?" competition here if we had one!  NO ONE can shoot the breeze like I can! I can talk and talk and talk and talk about everything and nothing at all! I can talk until the cows come home! Until the oceans freeze! Until Pigs Fly! I got stories by the ZILLIONS!
But...Yep! I can talk. Or write. Come from a long line of them. Tall tale tellers. It is in my blood. ROFL.
Did you get this far????  LOLOL
Anyway..I knew you were teasing (in case you DID get this far...or anyone did...so no one thinks I am mad at you or anything!). It just so happens that you are RIGHT!
Love and ((Hugs))
Jose the Jabber-Jaws!
