drkkenny said: That is exactly what my grandma did every Sunday for 35 years, always the same, what she called her "casual uniformity walk", without making it seem overly official by seeming too eager to walk, calling it her small jog.
Respected by everyone in her community, and not merely her family members, where every one of us, having learned the futility of recommending any healthier mode of life, had become gradually reduced to only observing the park as we walked, but in the small town as well, where, a few blocks away, a repairman who had to fix a broken down shed would ask my grandma to send a friend to make sure that my grandma was not refusing to walk was, none the less, disturbed by how they could send someone whom she didn't trust.
Her walks became nearly unbearable, and, as there was noone whom would be willing to follow my grandma around walking, our friend had to set off to fetch someone from Canada. My grandma was unable to 'rest,' owing to the cries of a girl, and as my friend never came, though him missing hadn't meant anything to us, was very late in returning, his help was greatly missed. And so, before the sun had even rose, my mother said to me: "Run upstairs, and see if your grandma is still planning on walking later."
I went into her room which was usually locked though today it wasn't, and through the open door of the other saw my grandma sleeping. I could hear her breathing, in what was almost distinguishable as a snore. I was just going to leave the room when something, probably the sound of my footsteps(which were scarcely discernible), interrupted her sleep, and made it 'change speed,' as they say of motorcars nowadays, for the sound of her snore broke off for a second and began again on a quieter more subdued note; then she awoke, and revealed her face to me, which I could plainly see was off today; a kind of horror was imprinted on it; it was more than evident that she had just escaped from some terrifying dream. She could not see me while I could view her, and I stood there not knowing whether I ought to still ask her or ot; but all at once she seemed to return to her real world, and to realize the immense absurdity of the dream inwhich she was the prime observer.
a smile of joy, an act which a benevolent god grants to those inferiors whom nonetheless deserve his eternal affection, Who is pleased to inform us that life shall become much easier with his love, illuminated her face, and, becoming accustomed to speaking out loud, when she thought she was completely alone, she murmured: "Thank the Lord! I've been dreaming that my poor Fillipe had returned from Cuba, and was trying to urge me to walk!"
She placed her hands on the clock nearby, which was lying on a table, but sleep was once again overpowering her waking state, and did not allow her to harness the strength to place her hand atop of it; she fell back asleep and I crept out of the room on tiptoe, without anyone having discovered that I was in there, nor knowing what I had seen and heard.
When I say that, apart from such rare happenings as this confinement, my grandmas jogs never changed their usual course, I do not mention those subtle alterations in her walks, repeated at regular intervals and identically aligned with previous ones, did no more, really, than print a sort of uniform pattern upon her life which consisted mainly of walking. So, for instance, every weekend, as my brother had to go to the marketplace in France, the whole household would have to have luncheon an hour earlier than usual.
And my grandma had so thoroughly acquired the habit of this weekly exception to her usual hobbies, that she clung to it as if it was her religion. She was so used to this that, as brother would say, that if, on a Sunday, she had had to wait for her luncheon until the regular hour, it would have 'upset' her as much as if she had had, on an ordinary day, changed her luncheon to a different time than usual.
Incidentally this acceleration of luncheon gave Saturday, for all of us, an identify apart from all the other luncheons, an identity which was much kinder & with infinite grace. At the moment when, ordinarily, there was still an hour to be lived through before meal-time sounded, we would all know that in a few seconds we should see our grandmas church friends appear, followed by the special favour of an omelette, the greatest meal conceived in Paris in the 40's.
Do you smoke meth, bro?

That is the long term goal but I'm not sure if I'm good enough to publish a real one right now. Most authors don't get around to creating their masterpiece until they're in the 30s-50s anyways so I have more than enough time to perfect my art.

I'm a fiction/fantasy writer sense isn't always my forte:[. I shall try to incorporate more logic into my prose in the future though. Do you think I come off a tad absurd at times? I think so. Indeed I have seemed to have confused reality w/ fantasy and it causes much confusion in my day to day life since, while others might be speaking of something that is actually happening, I might be located somewhere in the prism of the words they present to me, somewhere that naturally won't have much to do with the original topic at hand...Very abstruse matter here! I shall find someone that gets me though, someone very much able to realize that fiction is always better than real life.

the #1 reason people think you're on speed is the length and grammatical attentiveness of your posts at some times but not others
the content isn't necessarily reflective of a speed-addled brain. could be a lot more so in any case

Wow!
That's nuts. I've never seen wild pigs around in Pennsylvania. I'm not sure that we've got any up here. We've got coyotes and mountain lions are starting to make a comeback in the western part of the state. And of course bobcats.
A few horse owners i know have been kinda nervous.
