DISCUSSION THREAD- December 2018- 75 Word Writing Challenge :

[Parson]

Congrats Mad Alice

Parson, I guess I didn't get my point across, remember I'm 82 yrs old blind in one eye, can't see too awful good out of the other and let's not forget that, " I'm not stupid I'm ignorant " line.
I was tired when I was reading through the stories, eye strain actually, and thought I had read the words
Anal and Parolees as typos. Sorry if I upset you and none of this has been an attempt at humor.
I meant that I'd read banal and proles as typos.
Bob

Don't misunderstand. I was not offended in the slightest, just curious as to what might have looked like a typo, and you've explained that well indeed. It makes sense to me. My eyesight is getting less slowly on as well. Old age and a life of reading will do that to you. Diabetes which I've had under good control for the last decade, but now raising its head again, could play havoc as well.

[Mad Alice]

You lot are all truly lovely.
A bit Mad, (but the best of us are), as Alice and a certain cat would have it.

My deepest thanks to you all.
