A kinder. gentler, lazier Prude

-->

How have you been? I am fine.

Please notice, in the above pleasantries,

that The Prude referred to herself in the first person.

Rereading some earlier posts, I found myself ready to strangle The Prude and shout, “Enough 3^rd  person already!”

So, unless the situation just begs for a post written in the 3^rd person (say, I am too cowardly regarding the topic to actually own it in the 1^st person)

The Prude will be ‘I’.

Another change was also precipitated by rereading old posts.

What was I doing?

Thinking I had to post every weekday even if I had nothing to say?

Let me clarify.

I seldom have anything to say.

‘The Prude Disapproves’ is a trifling blog in a world filled with blogs of great importance that discuss weighty matters, or tell you how to make a good béarnaise  sauce.

But sometimes the trifles are worth sharing. They provide a little bling to your day.

But some of those old posts–yikes.

What was The Prude thinking? (I prefer to blame it on that 3^rd person alter ego)

Therefore, if I have nothing blingy to say I shall say nothing at all.

Finally, I will be cutting the ‘Rithmetic’ part of Readin’ wRitin’ and ‘Rithmetic Wednesdays’ because, after some half a dozen mathematics posts I’ve exhausted everything I know on the subject. We will sub in Hist’Ry on a regular basis and retire ‘Rithmetic’.

And one more finally. ‘Global Village Monday’ and ‘Quirks of the Cosmos Thursday’ were too similar.  I am, with great courage, thinking of creating ‘Theology /Civics Thursdays’. (These will no doubt be the 3^rd person posts.)

And I shall endeavor mightily to keep the posts around 300 words. This means you have permission to have quit reading app. 7 words before the end of this post.
