Yes the Mic Will Be on Tonight

Join Us Tonight

We’re Talking about Monsters and Monstrosities!

They’re in literature and cinema, medicine, criminology, and theology. Let’s start with Shrek, Dracula, Freddy Krueger, Godzilla, King Kong, and the Alien. And then there are monster trucks, monster sundaes, and monster burgers – and anything else that comes up.

Oh, and bring a link about monsters to share, if you have one.

The rules are simple — be nice.

We Talked about Being Home, Sweet, Home

by

Be It Ever SO Humble

Yep we’re back and with our very own pillows . . . even if it’s only for a moment. We know how important having a place to call our own is. Gosh it’s great to have one. Though many of us were gone to Chicago for the weekend or to other places, we sure had lots of reasons to be glad to be in our own spaces.

It was a busy night. We were talking about being home.

You can read all about it in the The Mic Is On: We’re Happy to Be Home comments.

Here are some cool links we shared.

Thanks to everyone for the cool links and for being part of the conversation.

See you next Tuesday? I sure hope so.

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Let’s Talk About the Joys of Being Home!

What do we miss when we’re away . . . and how do we feel when we “get back home.” What makes it “home”?

Here’s a few ideas to get us started:

  • our own house, apt, condo
  • our own bed, alarm clock
  • our own chair
  • our own kitchen, cooking
  • our own bathroom, bathtub, shower, hot tub
  • our own family, friends, pets
  • our own back yard, deck
  • our own computer, telephone, TV
  • our own car, transportation
  • our own routine

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.

Oh, and bring a link, if you have one to share.
