  • Daily Prompt Response—Bringing Back a Dinosaur

    If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? My real name is Sarah, so obviously I’m bringing back a triceratops. Duh! Google tells me that a triceratops is an herbivore, so if I was going to keep it as a pet, it would probably be easier feeding it plants than having… →

  • Daily Prompt Response—Great Teachers

    What makes a teacher great? I can’t possibly skip over this prompt and not answer it. I was a teacher for 18 years.

    What notable things happened today? Considering it’s only 9:21 a.m. at the time of my response here, there hasn’t been a great deal of time for something notable to happen. That is, if the question is referring to notable things in my life, as opposed to Googling what has happened on this day in history.… →
