Lily Rose Dorothea | 1454 comments All right, Emmathea has given me the distinct honor of asking the next quiz question, so here it is, and I'm sorry for the wait...I was looking for a good one! I'm going to ask this question as if I were the author...if that makes any sense...

After graduating from university, I retreated to my mother's attic, my haunted chamber, to try my hand at writing. My sister made errands to the library to pick up books I needed. Who am I?

a new dialect us introduced?
*She walks away perplexed*

😂 I don't know how these things start half the time either!


Emma | meadowroselibrary I hope Pammy's doing okay. 😔

Now Emmathea and

😂 Zamba and To my Destiny both mean to bed. Those are Emma's inventions. Mph is an abbreviated "Hmph" (ok, I started that one 😏😂)...and I don't know who started the new names!

Well, that's good.


message 10712: by Pamela (new)

Pamela | 2209 comments Checking in to say hello. Much going on today. Still dealing with gas utility issues. The borough manager stopped by and was here quite a while. The water department flushed the fire hydrant in front of my house, which wasn't easy due to the cones and tape from the gas company being on my front sidewalk. A neighbor is being difficult because the sidewalk is blocked with the cones and tape. He wants everything removed! Now! So, I requested that the borough manager deal with that problem, as it's not my fault! Nobody can touch the gas company's property, according to the borough. It's all taking a toll on my health and my nerves. All I wanted to do was rest and try to get my sugar and blood pressure under control. That did not happen.😢 I'll try to check in later. I'm too stressed to rest, so I expect to be up late. 🙍‍♀️

When I was in the hospital, the nurse in the Intensive Care Unit gave me a new name. She continuously called me Pamelia (rhymes
with Amelia) instead of Pamela! She just couldn't get it right.😂

I would love to give them a piece of my mind, but they've already caused me to lose my mind. There's nothing left up there to give them!🤯🤪😄😅😂🤣😆
