We try not to dilute our message and demand uses for these neglected buildings. <br /><br />We are truly focused on just individual senior poverty and how it can be alleviated. We want them to see individuals and not the starving masses. It's the only thing that works and the only thing the media wants to cover. I learned a lot from those media who featured us.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-31075725885495840352019-12-14T12:44:34.562-03:302019-12-14T12:44:34.562-03:30So very true Mary, I think much of my own involvem...So very true Mary, I think much of my own involvement was to give myself some relevance even though, like you say, a lot of it was a chore. And with only so much energy it depleted the rest of my life the joyful bits of writing and editing my own work. I found also that editing others (for compensation) was also a joy. I love words and how we can maneuver them.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-68059364958719853932019-12-14T12:40:56.621-03:302019-12-14T12:40:56.621-03:30True that - thanks for your suggestions T, I use i...True that - thanks for your suggestions T, I use index cards for talks, they are fantastic as they are so small and don't look like one is reading, I just like the odd prompt :) But great suggestion on multiple uses.<br /><br />I am sometimes so confounded by why anons take the time to pour their vitriol on to a blog rather than see a good therapist.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-52463301411279204002019-12-14T12:38:43.902-03:302019-12-14T12:38:43.902-03:30Exactly Linda, I just want to edit now and maybe w...Exactly Linda, I just want to edit now and maybe write a bit but I have loads of material that needs polishing.

I have spent some time this year getting rid of things that I found to be a chore - like secretary on a Wildlife Refuge Board. I am the worst secretary, ended up making up half the minutes because I was talking or only listening to what I was interested in! Did it because they needed someone. And web work for same outfit. Decided I just have so many years left and you know the rest.

My old fashioned head can come up with nothing more than a card index (I always loved keeping a card index) with your scraps of notes clipped to more substantial cards in sections relating to their content (novels, characters, plays and suchlike.) Very undigital and non-tech of me!<br /><br />Treat unpleasant Anons by ignoring and deleting 'em WWW. they are not worth your time and energy. I don't mind pleasant Anons one bit though, as sometimes people who would like to comment can't get around to the effort of making up screen names - and remembering them.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-84876674203014455722019-12-13T19:43:48.336-03:302019-12-13T19:43:48.336-03:30When I'm not thinking, "Who am I to belie...When I'm not thinking, "Who am I to believe I have something to contribute to the human story?"

Always a reader here (in my reader) but don't often enough stop over to leave a comment. Your various interests are a wonder. As for organizing bits of things, I sometimes use clear plastic sleeves in a three -ring binder to I can easily see things laid out. It also allows me to see both sides if needed.
