    I collect words, stamps, AND coins...

    Holy guacamole.

    "They have deep conversations with Animals, clouds, birds and Grecian Urns."

    She says that like it's a *bad* thing...

    Funny.

    "You will never know if they agree with you or are just following you down the rabbit hole to see how crazy you are."

    Oh. Yeah.

    I have been known, on more than one occasion, to stay on a bus or train well past my stop just to listen to someone engaged in a lively dialog with self, quite literally following them down the rabbit hole.

    Does that make me a poet?

    Number 8, yes. Number 16, not so secretly sometimes.

    Thanks for sharing this. :)

    Knowing I'm a writer, a woman giving me professional advice on my recent move said, "If I was you..." and stopped. Then she began again, "If I were you..." She stopped again and looked at me.

    I said nothing.

    "If I were you?" she said. "Is that right?"

    "Yes."

    She then proceeded to give me wonderful advice, beginning with "If I were you..."

    Grammar ain't everything and I learned a long time ago not to correct anybody about it.

    Also, number 27 is a lie.

    Got dandelions? Make wine, not war.
