The Skinny On WritingDotCom

Coming Soon:  More Info...

It's The Last Day Of November 2019, And...

I found this flashback and just had to share it because it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo CUTE!!!



Think I'll be returning throughout the day and just sharing whatever I'm in the mood to share here.

For now, this (the contrary cat with all of the presents) is all I'll be sharing.

The current time is (by my computer clock that's not supposed to lose minutes but does) 3:32 PM

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've decided to extend the time to add to this until the end of the first business day in December -- which will be on Monday, December 2.  So, I'll do the last update to this blog-entry sometime on Monday night.  I can't believe that we here in most of Indiana will be into the month of December in less than an hour from now...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's now the first day of December, and I'm going to start the day off by sharing a couple of Larry-related posts.  As you can see from the first one, it's a good thing that Larry had already moved out of this place last summer.

Thankfully, everybody got out of this building safely.




Here is what Larry will be doing on December 7 (this coming Saturday!!!)



And these are the details of not only the parade but, also, what the Christmas Season is going to be like here in Anderson, Indiana USA...




Today is December 3 for a few minutes more, and I've decided to keep this blog-entry active until the day after my birthday so that I can add a whole lot more to it...

This Is *SO* Raccoon!!!

On November 20, 2019, I created this Tweet:


On the same day, a fellow Tweeter liked my Tweet, having discovered it due to how I had hashtagged the word Raccoon.

The name of this Tweeter's TwitterTurf was (and still is as of this writing):

The same picture of raccoon every day
 / @thesameraccoon

Here is the featured Tweet on the day I discovered this interesting place:



Here's the featured Tweet for today when I'm back here creating this blog-entry:



Having said that, I'm going to share some of the history of this TwitterTurf...

The first raccoon picture was Tweeted on October 17, 2018 shortly after this Tweeter joined.



Except for this one Tweeted eleven days later on October 28...



...the same raccoon was Tweeted every day of the rest of 2018 (final one of the year shown below).



On New Year's Day (January 1, 2019), the first raccoon picture was replaced by the new one shown below:


Sooooooo...

What are my plans for this blog-entry?

The way I see it now, my plans are to keep adding to it through June 8, 2024, which will be the 110th anniversary of the birth of my uncle, George Willard Jobe, who reminded not only me but, also, several others of a cute baby raccoon.

What will I be adding?

Various things related to raccoon.

I hope to be adding more even before this day is over, but I'm going to go ahead and get it published for now.

At this time, this TwitterTurf has 522 followers and will have 523 as soon as I join them.

I wonder if there will be even more followers after I tell more people about it.  We shall see...

Anyway, I think I'm going to make this Part One of the grand-opening of this blog-entry here on

Friday, November 22, 2019

And will be back a little later to add Part Two...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here is Part Two, which will be short 'n' sweet where I'm going to say that I didn't know until, less than a couple of years ago, the word raccoon is like the words deer and reindeer in that it can be used to describe both one and more-than-one of this cute, little animal.

The words raccoons, deers, and reindeers aren't correct words.

Of course, I've been aware of this in regards to the last two for years -- at least for 56 years ago today when I was in fifth grade and my classmates and I (along with the fourth grade class) were running through the music that would be used for our upcoming Christmas pageant.

One of the fourth grade boys kept insisting on adding the s to reindeer even when he knew better just to be silly and to annoy our music teacher.

Here is a LINK to take you back to that Friday afternoon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's all for today...

It's the last day of November, and I'm finally getting around to adding this new photo and story with an explanation why.  This beautiful woman is really missed.

Bullying Isn't Cool!!!

This is the link that will get you to this blog-entry so you can share it:

https://babybearbubbles.blogspot.com/2019/11/bullying-isnt-cool.html


The meme below inspired me to create a special blog-entry on the subject of bullying that I'm going to be adding to through the 100th anniversary of my mom's birth:

April 6, 2022.

If she saw somebody being bullied, she'd intervene to bring it to a halt.  She didn't use violence to do this  -- she, simply, in a calm manner, let the bullies know that she was watching them, and that was enough to make them lose interest in their bullying game.

Today's day is November 22, 2019, so the end date of adding to this blog-entry will be about 2 1/2 years from now.

Be sure to return often to look for new additions keep sharing it with others...

Stay Tuned For Future Additions...

My Dad Was Born 102 Years Ago Today (The Sequel)

Just wanted to organize this into something to share even better.



The next thing on my list is trying to make it to the polls in time to vote after staying here at the library getting the word out to others to vote...









What you see here are some of my own choices and might not be yours, but -- no matter what -- it's important that you get out there and vote today. Hopefully, I'll be voting right along with you -- and I'll DEFINITELY be voting both in May and November of 2020, God willing and the creek don't rise!

Will update you in another entry as soon as I get online again... (tomorrow?)

My Dad Was Born 102 Years Ago Today

This is a special tribute to my dad on the 102nd anniversary of his birth.  I have a whole lot going on but will give it my best shot with what I have...













Stay tuned for more...

And here's what I wanted you to stay tuned for...
