Sorry ShyNJdude, I could but it would not be of value to me or others so I will pass.

I have read ten word motivational entries that had value but most 10 word posts don't seem to be worth much because too much is missing oris too general and doesn't address a complete thought, considering the general population knowledge of said subject or idea.

when I write something, i write with the idea or thoughts of the readers understanding, interest and comprehension. Ten words is interesting but is it of value to others?

I understand that sometimes there are situations when fewer words make the main concept easier to understand. It works in the opposite if using not enough words are used. OTH, this is a game of sorts. I am not an avid gamer. Practical is my MO.

mirrororchid: We've compared denier/refuser spouses to prison wardens. Dr. Psychmom has compared them to hostage takers and the unhappy spouse has Stockholm syndrome. Prisoners can't leave. Stockholm hostages don't because they want a good outcome for the captor. Sept 10, 2024 18:54:11 GMT -5

mirrororchid: Heard on a podcast: "Dating is where we present our best selves. Vulnerability is the opposite. Where we risk our partner knowing things that are imperfect. This is the way to forge the life partner bond." Sept 10, 2024 19:17:03 GMT -5
