Random Prompts
Yup, still sticking posts here, from time to time! This time, itās a string of stuff thatās inspired by WordPress and its Daily Prompt idea, except some of the prompts Iāve been using at Meerkat Musings are of my own creation (what can I say, Iām a bit of a rebel).
Letās examine a few of the highlights, and hopefully have some fun along the way!

Farouche
Over on my personal blog, Meerkat Musings, Iāve been aiming to post at least once a day, every day, throughout 2023. So far, Iāve succeeded, but there is still a loooong way to go! I have been seeking inspiration for prompts, and one scheduled post will offer some personal thoughts on the brilliant word, farouche.
Farouche is a word that speaks to me. It means āto be sullenly unsociable or shyā.ā¦

Not Letting Go
Hold me!
Ahem, so, itās been a minute since anyone posted here, on the Nudge Wink Report, and I refuse to let that stand. I have fresh(ish) art to inflict upon the masses, and a number of dad jokes to torment you with. Letās start there.
If you have a helpful ant, is it your assist ant?
Have I told you my bad memory joke?
There are three types of people in this world. Those who can count, andā¦

Nudge wink Report is back -- sort of.
Nudge wink Report is back ā sortĀ of.
Hello from Earth!
NWR is on life support right now. Weāre not posting often, but weāve been in mourning for a while.
Iāll begin by saying it was a sad day when our founder disappeared into the universe. If thereās a heaven for sarcastic people, sheās sitting on the throne.
Sheās one of the lucky ones, being in a place where she can look down upon the stressed, regressed, blessed, and messed upā¦

The Phoenix Rises...
The Phoenix Risesā¦
Well, it doesnāt exactlyĀ rise,Ā and weāre not quite in the ashesā¦ yet. 2020 has pummelled us, squeezed us, mocked us ā but we are still here. Itās been difficult for some, life-changing for others, and for many people around the planet, itās been an anxious, scary time.
We need a release, a valve we can open to let our tension spill out. Weāll definitely reach an end to this, where life willā¦

Is this a Willie Nelson moment?

I had the flu for 2 weeks, so maybe Iām just delirious, but when someone named Susan says her friend passed away, I believe her.Ā Susan is an honest name.

Fighting for Each Other
Fighting for EachĀ Other
Anyone whoās been keeping an eye on The Nudge Wink Report may have noticed itās been quiet. I canāt confess to know why for everyone else, but for me, itās been all about work ā new job means new time constraints and a change to my patterns ā thereās been a bit of a learning curve! However, I am still here and I hope I speak for everyone else when I say so is The Nudge Wink Report. Weāre anā¦

Apologies

Secondly, apologies for posting out of turn, but better to do this now, whilst I remember and have time, than to forget, which between my memory and my circumstances, isā¦

Merry Happy Jingle Chestnuts
Itās not over yet but 2017 was the year I fully embraced the Stoli. And this will be my first Christmas without turkey. I refuse to get rid of the vodka thatās taking up shelf room in my freezer to make room for a Butterball. Watching Trump peck and scratch his way to obscurity is turkey enough for me. The field reporters for The Nudge Wink Report did a stellar job this year, blogging about this,ā¦

SPECIAL REPORT : Cyber Monday Blues
Over the past two months, Iāve been writing down all the things I wanted to look for from Black Friday to Cyber Monday.Ā On top of writing 57,000 words for NaNoWriMo in 30 days (That book is going to need a lot of help).

What I Learned This Week
What I Learned ThisĀ Week
Taking a Twitter break is not a good idea. I took off a few weeks months, and came back and tweets go from 140 characters to 280 characters and now Trump is starting to make sense. This may shock you but I have zero pull with Twitter and have a better chance of Lake Bell liking one of my tweets (which she totally did btw!) than convincing Twitter to edit back their decision. #bitchtweet If youā¦

Sick and Scary
Iāve sat down on the train. Iām tired after a long day at work. Iāve actually got a headache, and Iām hoping for a quiet, peaceful journey. Will I get oneā¦ nope. NotĀ at all. Why? Well, lurking in a nearby seat is a biological weapon, a chemical bomb, a vile, repugnant force. (is it behind me? Please, donāt be behind me!) I can sense it growing in malice.
