When someone asks, “Is (X place) accessible?” the answer is “no” if there are any stairs involved in getting there. It doesn’t matter if everything inside X is on one level but there are three “little” steps at the front…
Three Good Things!
The last time I responded to a prompt from Plinky, it posted with absolutely no context—so let’s try to fix that this time. Today’s prompt is: “Share three good things about your life right now. (A little New Agey, maybe,…
YAY!
