I love to write. However, I have no central theme, hardly any continuity and a horrible time keeping my blogs straight. I currently have three blogs including this one. My current blogs are:
http://whoopiebrain.wordpress.com/
The title for the above blog is “This, that, and the other thing.”
The blog contains a whole bunch of odds and ends; weird stuff, emotional stuff, cultural items, philosophical meanderings and anything that fits nowhere else. There is something in this blog for everyone and everything for no one. There is even a story about a man who lost his only original thought. Bummer.
http://adirondackmountains.wordpress.com/
The title of the above blog is “The Short Stories of Waldo.”
The blog contains my short stories. So please read away. I promise that you will enjoy these stories.

Now this blog – - – the one you are currently reading – - -
I am going to use this blog to post REAL THINGS. Well – - – there are a few real things in my other blogs but this one will house stories about real peope who have either been forgotten or never known. My first entries in this blog will be an archaeological project. No – - – we are not going to dig anything up. We will consider everything found on the surface and things that had to be dug up in the library of a small town, the cemeteries of a rural county and the archives in the state of New York. No – - – we are not going to dig up cemeteries; we are going to dig up information FROM cemeteries.

Thank you for your nomination. Should I be elected to this office I will not serve. Should I be forced to serve by write-in votes, I will abscond. In the mean-time please accept my apologies for being a pill about the whole thing. I never did know how to graciously accept a gift or compliment. But I still love your posts. Wally
You’re very welcome Wally
Just accept and enjoy my gift to you because You Are Loved!
Have a great week
Thank you for your understanding. Wally

Dear Boomiebol, I am so embarrassed! You thanked me for stopping by your blog and following. I never responded. So sorry. I am over a month late in my response but want you to know I am still enjoying your posts. Once again, my deepest apologies. Wally
Thank you for stopping by and the following.
You are more than welcome. And thank you for stopping by also. Wally
Thanks for following Waldo!
You are more than welcome.
Waldo … thanks for the “like.” Sure do appreciate that. Keep smilin’!
It was nice visit to your blog. I am always smiling. Some people say “idiot.” But even idiots have a right to be happy. You take care. I am looking for more of your posts.
Hi Waldo, good news; I have nominated you for the Reality Blog Award!
The rules are at
http://dearkitty1.wordpress.com/2012/10/14/reality-blog-award-thanks-rhubblog/
Thank you. I accept the honor and nomination. Lets hope I do the right thing. I am not very good at accepting complements. Thanks again. Wally
Dear ptrel41, I saw your post and noted that you allowed me to save face if I did not wish to respond to the award. I appreciate you thinking of me but I will not be passing it along. I have only accepted one award (my first one) and feel I must be consistent by not following up on additional awards. Thank you for your understanding. Wally
Thanks for the “like”.
!!!
It was very deserved! I really really liked it.
Waldo what interesting blogs you are writing! You have lots of creative ideas.
Are you being affected by the hurricane?
Cindy, Thanks for asking about the hurricane. We were threatened but it stayed mostly south of us. We had some wind and rain but nothing to worry about. We are in upstate NY. It is a good thing it missed us because this community has had two 100 year floods within 5 years. People took out second mortgages to rebuild after the first flood and then were flooded again. Some rebuilt, some abandoned their homes, some I am sure, had nervous breakdowns. A third one and we may as well close up shop for the remaining 100 thousand peoplel we have remaining in the metropolitan area.
Thanks for the complement on my blogs. I have a lot of fun writing them and doing my best to be creative. I always liked writing but spent the first 40 years of my life reading software and hardware manuals. Ugh!! But family responsibilities came first. Now I have the time to do what I wish to. First priority=wife, second priority writing. But there (as someone once said), is the rub. I do not set enough time aside to read. I love reading Jorge Luis Borges and Italo Calvino for different reasons. I have to cut back on blogging in order to do more reading. It fuels the creative furnace. Take care, Wally
Clearly a man of many parts – two legs, two arms, one head…
You forgot the torso. Axe murderers always forget about the torso.
Since blogging I now longer read much. Am reading now on my fire. Just found this.
Hope u know how smart u r
Dear Someone. Thank you for the kind complement but if you really knew me you would have a different opinion. I am just one of 325,000,000 citizens in the USA and I don’t know how many billion in the world. I have met so many smart people on my travel through this world that it is humbling. I don’t even make a fly speck when compared to their brilliance. BUT- – - I will graciously accept your complement and say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. It does mean a lot to me. I hope you read all my stories and some of the outlandish stuff I have posted on my four blogs. Thanks again, Wally
Without obligation to respond in kind (or in any manner); I award you

because I love your work… Carolyn
Carolyn, I know you said that I did not have to respond yet I would feel bad if I did not at least thank you for your thoughts about my blog. At this time I will accept your good thoughts and complements however my writing and blogs take up most of my time. What time I have remaining I spend reading others posts and leaving the small footprint of a “LIKE” and sometimes a comment on at least one hundred posts each day. I find your posts and comments on my posts very interesting. Thanks again for your thoughts. Wally
I totally appreciate what you are saying, Wally; and Thank You for your response.
Yes, it can be all too consuming, this WP….
Enjoy!
Thank you for your understanding.
Pingback: Thank you… – Lead.Learn.Live.
And thank you for your thoughtful posts.
Hi Mr. Wally! Thank you so much for liking my posts. I wish I could be a published and creative writer like you someday. All the best to you Sir.
Why thank you so much Stephyy. Stick with it and you will surely get your wish. Someone once said that you have to write at least one million words before you get the drift of it. I don’t know if that is true or not but practice does make perfect. The secret is that the “practice” must be fun or you will get discouraged. Never get discouraged. Take a break and read a book or a short story. If you can get your hands on Jorge Luis Borges’ books read some of his work. Most of it is short stories and VERY creative. He also wrote essays and commentary on other authors. My favorite is “Borges and I.” Very original. I get a lot of inspiration from Borges works so if I get stuck I just pick up any book of his and read a short story or essay. Stick with it and good luck. Wally

Hey Waldo,
It’s Justin of MomentMatters.com. I’m excited to inform you that Moment Matters is re-launching with new features and design!
Along with it, I’m compiling a free e-book about the Greatest Articles and I’m featuring excellent comments. Your thought in “Are We Heading Towards A Big Brother World?” is a standout! I’m asking permission if I could include your words in the book?
All the best,
Justin G. Bautista
Justin, I would like to say yes but I can not remember posting anything with that title. I have posted with that type of thought. Maybe you have confused the title or possibly I have made comments on a post of yours with that title. I need a little clarification and if it rings a bell I will most likely OK it. Please respond. The post i wrote on that subject can be read here:
http://whoopiebrain.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/the-town-tweeker/
It’s your comment in my post. Here’s the link: http://www.momentmatters.com/2012/09/are-we-heading-towards-a-big-brother-world/#comment-3307
Hope that helps!
I just had a flip-flopping computer so you may have recieve a partial response. Anyway, the answer is yes. Feel free to you that comment as you wish. Good luck on your new format and book. Take care, Wally
That’s great! Thanks, and talk to you later in the new articles.
Justin
The free e-book “Greatest Articles | Moment Matters”, featuring your comment, is out now! You may download it in Nook, Kobo, ePUB or PDF format here.
Cheers!
Thanks for the notification. I will now read.
you have some polish ancestry right ?
Ukranian on one side, Russian on the other.
Probably right across the Black Sea from your ancestory.
So , you should know the wife of Soliman the Magnificent
No. The last time I “knew” anyones wife I was threatened with a gun. Sorry.
Man, its about history
anyways..
But I promise that I will research it as soon as I get a chance. Sounds interesting. Thanks.
Hey! We were neighbors in a previous life.
Well, well, well. What do we have here? “Local slave girl makes good. Uses brains and womanly wiles to work her way to the top. Glass cieling has no meaning to her.”
Thanks for pointing that out for me. I never knew about it prior to you mentioning it. Sounds like I will have to look farther into this. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Wally! I’m back again to nominate you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award! You can check out the details here: http://rusticrecluse.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/very-inspiring-blogger-award/
Cheers!
Thank you so much for the award. I must accept it but right now my life is upside down with family illness. I know I had told you this on one of your own posts but thought I should post it here to let people know why I have not taken any action on the award. My apologies.
I nominated you for the Epically Awesome Award of Epic Awesomeness. Come read about my adventures accepting it: http://greenwalledtower.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/a-w-a-r-d-s/
Thank you so much for the award. I must accept it but right now my life is upside down with family illness. I thought I should post it here to let people know why I have not taken any action on my awards. My apologies.
I’m sorry to hear about your family illness. There’s no time limit on this award and you don’t have to do anything with it at all if you wish. I sat on the first of these for months before I did anything with it.
