1. Support. From family, friends, groups, or bras – support is important. Why? We all have saggy moments, even the world. I admit to feeling shaken and stirred – maybe it’s just too much time in the shallow end, I feel surrounded by ‘s’ words…
2. Salt. People have been using it for like 10,000 years, slightly longer than I’ve been alive. As a baby I had a saltlick in my crib. I wander the streets following salt trucks. I envy cats, dogs, and giraffes – they can freely lick humans for salt. I know it’s bad for me…my precious. I’m slowly desalting.
3. Selling. Everything seems to be for and/or on sale now. The new genius? Stephen Hawking selling cars.
4. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. One word review: Why? Just move on – Wonder Woman, Aquaman…just move on.
5. Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart. I have so many questions about their Potluck Dinner Parties. Who’s their demographic? Who’s made most uncomfortable watching this?
6. Sorry. Never too late to say sorry, or is it, you decide. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/06/10/cant-you-just-pretend-to-be-nice/
7. Stupid. A lifestyle for some. We hate feeling stupid, it’s one of the top reasons we won’t admit to making mistakes. We can learn. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2013/08/28/is-the-dream-still-alive/
8. Self. With a silent ‘ish’? https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/03/04/dear-me-sitting-here-talking-to-me/
9. Sugar. We broke up by text last week then it sent me sugar roses and chocolates, so we’re still together, but seeing less of each other.
10. Stress. Yes. And plenty of it. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/11/11/social-media-can-be-flat-most-humans-are-3d/ https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/05/25/crapathy/
Squirrel! Sorry, what were we talking about?
11. Sherlock. Enjoying the twisting labyrinth of Sherlock’s mind, the villainous machinations of his enemies, the long-suffering humour of Watson, then, it’s over again. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/03/13/sherlock/
12. Sense and Sensibility (and Seamonsters?). I think it’s about time to Jane Austen myself silly. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/02/14/20-movies-to-avoid-on-a-first-date/ https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/08/02/never-tear-us-apart/
13. Sarcasm. An oft misunderstood art form.
14. Superheroes. Supernatural. My Spidey senses tell me we can all be heroes, even superheroes. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/04/15/well-be-counting-scars/
15. Self-publishing. Haven’t tried this yet, but want to. Been writing and reading – I see a book review post in the future, until then https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/12/15/the-cats-pajamas-birthday-party/ https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/01/06/im-not-inclined-to-resign-to-maturity/
16. Scared. Silly. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/09/16/you-had-me-at-cake/
17. Sad. Nothing wrong with being sad sometimes. Being happy or acting like it all the time doesn’t make everything ok. Today is Blue Monday, apparently the most depressing day of the year (I think Friday will ‘trump’ Monday a million times over). https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/01/19/blue-monday-being-depressed-on-schedule/ Lots of cool blue things, lalalalalala Smurf a happy song…
18. A Series of Unfortunate Events. First, staggeringly stunning books by Lemony Snicket (sounds like a real name)…Then a cool movie – I bet Meryl Streep can think of way more unfortunate events nowadays…Presently, a quirky, impertinent series starring Neil Patrick Harris and Patrick Warburton. I’m so desperately happy it’s so desperately sad?
19. Saturday. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/08/09/i-miss-saturday-morning-cartoons/ Sunday. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/02/01/lazy-super-bowl-sundae/ Smonday. All superb days of any week.
20. Simplicity. Striving to live simply, in the here and now – with all manner of stuff https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/02/14/who-loves-ya-baby/
This was so good! Loved all of it!

I’m so glad, I hope the week ahead treats you kindly. 🙂
Thanks, you too!
🙂
I think you’ve said it all, and I agree.
Thank you so much and hope you have an awesome week! 🙂
Always enjoy your posts, Donna. Have a good week yourself.
🙂
Wow, is it still Monday? I was so involved in your post I was just dragging it out rather than let it end. I feel as though I’ve had all the entertainment for the week in just one day. You are nothing less than hilarious and I’m a very jealous person.
Incidentally, I’m told that walking round with a salt cellar to top on up my tongue frequently is not good for me. Like you I’m having to cut back, at least till dinnertime.
xxx Gigantic Hugs xxx
It’s Monday or as I prefer to call it Smonday, more fun that way. 😉
I’m so glad you were entertained, dear David, I like to think of you smiling (another wonderful ‘s’ word).
Yes, I don’t know if I like food or just food covered in salt, but I’m finding out.
Massive I hope you never get the blues Monday hugs xoxoxo
So much fun, as usual.
Thank you kindly, hope the week ahead treats you well. 🙂
I am really looking forward to a gloomy week now. In the park I noticed an old man smiling. I quickly looked away.
Oh but the smile might be contagious. 🙂
As always, very interesting way you have presented this.
Thanks, hope this week treats you kindly. 🙂
Interesting post as usual, Donna 🙂
My favorite s-word is at the moment: Sunshine
That’s a great ‘s’ word, haven’t seen it in awhile, but looking forward to it.
Hope this week is sunshiney for you, inside and out. 🙂
Thank you Donna, send you lots of sunshine 😀
I’ll try to catch each ray and keep it close, thank you. 🙂
Very thought-provoking but also made me smile, Donna! Number 6 – my favorite! But basically most of them I can relate to. That self-ish-ness is not too bad and also sarcasm. Sometimes both help us to survived! I love your post overall. A word that comes to my mind which I like a lot is: Silence!
Yes, silence – golden, deafening, a way to lie, a way to help, let’s stick with golden. 😉
I hope this day treats you kindly, Erika. 🙂
Yep, I agree… Golden sounds best 😁 but I love your inspired mind 😀
🙂
😊
🙂
Silly. It’s how I feel after reading your delightful posts. Thanks, Donna, for always making us smile (another favorite S word )! 💕 💖
And by the way, chocolate counts as salad in my life.
I’m glad it makes you feel silly and if I can make you smile, that’s the best ‘s’ word ever!
Of course it’s salad, a very very tasty salad, so good. 😉
So, if I eat chocolate without dressing, it’s like I’m dieting…right? Great list!
You know that’s right, Dan, so diet on. 😉
Hope this week treats you well.
Hmmm… Favorite “S” words… Well, “Shazam!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSpBwt4hFN8
And Shazam, I can’t think of another because now I’m caught in a Shazam loop!
Thanks for this lovely link-filled post, Donna. You’ve made Monday less blue. Definitely purple, maybe fuchsia… If I keep browsing your wonderful blog, I might even get to green or yellow. Mega hugs, my friend.
That video made me smile and thought of my Dad who loved that show. Sha-zam! Then my mind went to the superhero and it just keeps going. Thanks.
Anything that lightens up the blues, dear friend, maybe you’ll get to maroon or better yet macaroons? They might make the day better.
Mega gollee hugs xoxo
You’re hilarious! Love this free association post! I’m delighted to have found you…
Thank you kindly. 🙂
Hope the day treats you well. 🙂
Amazing work once more, old friend.
Thank you kindly. If the post had ‘M’ we know what would have been mentioned on a Monday – Murdoch Mysteries. 😉
Hope this day treats you kindly, Me Ol’ Mucker. 😉
Nice!
You really get me!
🙂
Clever post. Fun to read. I totally agree with your definition of chocolate!
Thank you kindly and I know, it makes sense and more reason to eat ‘salad’. lol 😉
Hope this week treats you well, Shirley. 🙂
I knew it – I always felt deep within my soul chocolate was good for you!
It must be, how else could it taste so splendid? 😉
Dear D.P.; After reading this glorious post and finding myself in each segment (yes; I am self-centered) I think my best bet is to go ‘solitude’ where I can ‘sin’ no more and avoid the near occasions of ‘sex’. My last confession was 6 months ago. I vow to avoid all future occasions of whatever ‘s’ s there are that I may overlooked. I will now genuflect 200 times and do 50 pushups in hopes of avoiding any ‘sagging’ _____, ___ and ____. (You fill in the blanks) .
Thanks for a great post. It was, as usual, a lot of effort on your part (but I bet a lot of fun also).
So sorry to hear that you are friends with THE HOOK. 🙂 , I think he has some mental issues.
That is a lot to process, but some great ‘s’ words. I filled in the blanks but they weren’t ‘s’ words, er, mostly.
Thank you kindly.
lol Aren’t all the most interesting people? And he’s a Murdoch Mysteries fan, that speaks volumes. 😉
Hope each segment of this week treats you, you, you well. 🙂
My favorite “s” word is sanity right now. I am clinging on to it. 🙂 Have a great week!
It’s a great word, not one I can always claim an acquaintance with, but the clinging part can be fun. 😉
Thank you kindly and the same to you.
What a fun post! I laughed all the way through it. Thanks!
I’m so glad to hear that, we all need to laugh more. 🙂
Hope this week treats you kindly.
Reblogged this on saywhatumean2say and commented:
My favorite words are sarcastic and the phrase “Go to Hell”. I am not a happy person but can at times be funny. I laugh so I will not cry. Thank you for this truly amusing post. ~~dru~~
Thanks so much for the reblog, dru. I agree laughing instead of crying is the way to go and thanks for the Cowboy Junkies tune, they’re awesome. Thanks again and hope this week has less to cry about (seems unlikely all things considered, but we an hope). 🙂
You left out “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”.
I knew someone would add it, if I did I would be singing it endlessly in my head…and now I am. 😉
Great ‘s word, hope this day is treating you well. 🙂
Serendipity.
I love happenstance and also the movie with John Cusack (mostly because it had John Cusack). Great ‘s’ word! 🙂
I loved that movie, too!
I just watched it over Christmas again, it gets better in time. 🙂
I am in love with your brain.
My brain gets along well with crack squirrels so, there you go. 😉
And the Martha-Snoop thing is for stoned grandmothers.
Is that who watches it? Good theory.
I tried watching part of their Thanksgiving special… it was just creepy.
In some ways aren’t all Thanksgiving specials? 😉
true dat!
🙂
wheeeeeeeeeee
🙂
yup
🙂
that too
Way too clever for me on a Monday morning! I loved it. Desserts, salt and Dr King, it all worked together.
Somehow it made sense in my brain… lol 😉
Hope the week ahead treats you swell. 🙂
LOVED THIS! Very clever! And humorous and true!!!
Thank you kindly, I’m glad you loved it. Hope this week treats you well. 🙂
And also for you my friend xo
🙂
Simplicity. It reduces the complexity of life. It rids our environment of so much needless stuff.
It certainly does, I love it. 🙂
Hope this week treats you well. 🙂
You’re mega clever. Super entertaining.
I can’t tell you my ‘s’ word. Not in mixed–or any–company. 😀 😀 😀
Oh one of those ‘s’ words, they can be ever so necessary in certain company more than others. 😉
Ha ha ha. You WIN. o_O
We all win. 😉
Love it – especially the logic you use in defining chocolate as a salad!
It’s important that we know the real truths in this world! 😉
Love this post and your list!! I would add “socks” cos its winter and I can’t live without them.
I love socks, remember kinky toes socks, those were cool too. Great ‘s word, Val! 🙂
I always knew chocolate counts as salad but thanks for the verification!
These are things we need to know. 😉
Stars .. reach for them. They’re in my grandchildrens’ eyes.
Always keep reaching, always. 🙂
LOVED this! I’m smiling 🙂
An awesome ‘s’ word! 🙂
Simply sensational and silly, you scooted through several sides of “S”, and I, for one, am so sure you will start singing songs soon so you can search for some more “S’s”! (and my alliterations are awful!)
1
You’re right and I’m singing songs in my head all day long, it’s quite swell but also distracting. 😉
Hope this week is a super one. 🙂
We totally need the support hmm, I wonder how my peaches would do without those supportive bras? 😉
Go South, know mine would. 😉
Wow, that was a mouthful LOL, and a good one! Happy week Donna! 🙂
Hope this week is swell one, Debby. Just finished 3 of your books. I’ll be reviewing them son. 🙂
Wow!!!!!!!!!!! I’m stoked Donna. 3! Looking forward. Hope the freezing rain is done for you too. 🙂
I ate them up, just couldn’t get enough. 🙂
We were lucky, the freezing rain mostly passed us by, feels like spring out there. Hope you’ve been having a swell week so far, Debby. 🙂
Ya, a balmy plus 1 today, felt like almost summer compared to past days LOL. Look at the temps we’re grateful for LOLOL 🙂 Busy week, but no complaints, so it’s a good week. 🙂
I know and no snow! Yahoo! 🙂
🙂
🙂
Satisfactory. In grade school it meant that I just barely passed a test. I found the best way for me to get an S (for satisfactory) on a test was to show my work in detail. Crisp, clean, precise. But to not include the answer in the space provided. “Melvin. Your work is good. But you didn’t answer the questions.” “No ma’am. But I showed YOU how to do it. And in the long run, isn’t that better?” S. and see the principal after school. (I had a little crush on the principal)
Ah yes, I have seen that word a few times too many.
lol You were just trying to be helpful and spend time with someone special. 😉
Simply splendid, Donna.
So kind of you to say. 😉
Hope this week is being swell to you. 🙂
Cool post, as always, Donna. For myself, I stole (well, not really stealing) the horses’ sugar cubes [the little ones, before they nibbled on them!] from the barn and ate them. Explains a lot, huh? So, I guess my “S” word would be Sugar, although I very much like the words “serenity” and “serendipity.” Oh, and susurrus for those special lyrical occasions.
I hope you will feel less shaken and more stirred (in a creative, lively sort of way) in 2017. Hang in there; just logically speaking, it’s got to be better than 2016, doesn’t it? 🙂
Horses are such kind souls, I’m sure they would love to share. 😉
Sugar, sweet word, Leigh. Also love serenity, the word and the feeling and the movie with Nathan Fillion. And serendipity is such a delight, mostly, and the movie always.
I’m feeling stirred up, creatively and otherwise, so I’m going to try to make it a better year, although it’s had a bumpy start. Best wishes for the week and the weekend, all the best. 🙂
We just completed the first season of the series of unfortunate events! I cannot wait a year for more!
I was so disappointed when I got to the end I was tempted to start all over again. 😉
Haha, me too!
🙂
OMG! How much do I love this? I’m on board with all of these…and #6, #13, and #19 twice! 😄
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, some twice as much! 🙂
Hope this week is treating you kindly.
Reblogged this on Nesie's Place and commented:
It’s always a good time to visit Donna’s blog!
Thank you so much, that is so sweet of you! I really appreciate the reblog and the kind words. I hope this week is being good to you so far. 🙂
Right now the word is spinning. Peachy loved the gif of Wonder Woman doing her spin. We had to pause there for 10 minutes so that Peachy could take a closer look. #FridayFrolics
lol That’s wonder-ful!!!
Love #FridayFrolics and so glad we found each other. 🙂
Thanks for the lovely feature!!! Sorry to be late, but this weekend, to be honest, this weekend plus didn’t turn out the way I thought it would and time ran away. But I thank you, thank you, thank you so much for sharing this and I enjoyed reading so many blog posts/sharing posts. Hope this week is treating you all kindly. 🙂
My fave S word is SATURDAY because that means it is the weekend – whoop #FridayFrolics
Yes, I love them, sadly I didn’t have a lot of time to visit #FridayFrolics this weekend (long story, but hopefully next week), but it is awesome! 🙂
Loved this. Especially Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards. I never noticed that. Now do I eat dessert because I a stressed, or am I stressed because I eat too many desserts? Hmmm, will need further investigation. I actually had to put salt back into my life. I don’t care for it much and then totally cut it when it was said to be bad for you and my family has history of high blood pressure. But I run and I was training for a marathon and I was constantly dizzy and lethargic. A running mate made me eat nachos and told me to start eating salt again. She was right, plus it turns out I have LOW blood pressure hence the dizzy spells. Live and learn. Have a great weekend despite the turn of events down here. (trying to ignore it)
I think we might be stressed without desserts or I might just be justifying… 😉
That’s interesting, yes, we do need some salt and especially if you’re training. Oh, low blood pressure can be tricky, hope you keep a close eye on that. Well, all things considered, things are ok and hope this week (again, all things…) is treating you well. 🙂
Hmm… toss up about which demographic is made most uncomfortable with Martha and Snoop… lol!
Really hard to tell. 😉
Hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
Reblogged this on By the Mighty Mumford and commented:
OH, OH, CHOCOLATE AS SALAD….MY TUMMY HURTS FROM LAUGHING!!!!
Thank you Jonathan, wait, you’re laughing, are you trying to imply that chocolate as salad is funny? Ok, it is, but I still think it could also be true, somehow. 😉 Thank you for the reblog and how this week treats you kindly. 🙂
Thanks for sharing at the Pit Stop Donna, Stirred my Laughter muscle as always 🙂
Pit Stop Crew
Oh Julie, I love to hear that! 🙂
Another wonder-filled #BloggersPitStop – thank you!
Hope this week is treating you kindly. 🙂
Hi Donna,
So much to look at as always. I feel like I’m walking down memory lane looking at your memes. Funny as well example, “shaken and stirred” I got your James Bond reference.
Janice
I thought we could all use some silly fun this week. 😉
Hope this week is treating you well, Janice. 🙂
Oh my goodness, here I was just about to say that was the best and most fun list of totally random thoughts I’ve seen in ages, but it’s not random at all is it?
My favorite S word is of course Sebago, as in the Sebago Canoe Club in Canarsie, Brooklyn! Woot!
Despite the ‘s’ factor you’re right, it’s still fairly random. 😉
That sounds like a fun ‘s’ word. 🙂
Love this.
So glad, hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
SMILING (of course) 🙂
Seriously awesome ‘s’ word! 🙂
I’m impressed. Seriously impressed. So many succinct ways to express what the rest of us can only hint at. Well done!
Thank you kindly, hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
So great to see you again. I’m slowly getting back into it!
Blessings!
Thanks and I understand, me too. 🙂
Hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
I know, so sorry you haven’t been well.
I’m doing well, hopefully you are too.
Take care!
Thank you, hope this week is treating you kindly, nice to see you back. 🙂
I nominated you for the Mystery Blogger Award. No pressure, just fun. So if you don’t do awards that’s okay : ) I wanted to share your blog with others since I enjoy reading it!
Congrats on the award!!! Loved your answers, had so much fun reading them. 🙂 Thank you for your kind nomination, I’m so honoured you thought of me and wow, am I in awesome company here, nominated and nomineed 😉
Thank you, thank you, thank you, hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
You are most welcome! Have a great week!
So far, so good, how about you?
Great thanks!
🙂
S is for soda, preferrably orange – it’s like coffee for those of us who can’t even pretend to adult. xD Awesome post as usual!
Thanks so much for sharing over at Friday Frivolity. 🙂
lol I used to loved orange soda, maybe I need to try it again. 😉
Mom says that one of my favorite words as a little child was “Ridiculous.” I would go around saying, “That ridiculous!” — in a baby talk way. I guess that says a lot.
Looking at your post “Snoop and Martha” in the same sentence is an interesting word combination.
I still like that word, it really does cover a lot, especially lately. 😉
Yes, and ‘interesting’ might be one of the nicest words you could have used. lol 😉
Hi Donna,
I believe I’ve already commented on my love for Carrie Fisher and my sadness over her mom’s death and her death.
Thanks for bringing your post to last week’s Blogger’s Pit Stop.
Janice, Pit Stop Crew
I still have trouble believing they’re both gone, just like that, poof, two wonders just gone, but never, ever forgotten.
Today I had a cake covered in salad.
Drooling on my keyboard. 😉
Hey, I give a blog when you don’t blog. You’re so funny. And true. Love it! I love these little moments when I burst into laughter in my office, the birds are startled and my family wants to know what I’m laughing at….”well, I say, it’s “yadar…..”
lol Thank you so much, knowing I can make people laugh makes me so happy, hope this weekend is treating you well so far. 🙂
Thank you. And you’re very welcome. Yes, the weekend had been great, a lot of cleaning up. When you have land, you have to take car of it. All worth the effort. It was lovely to hear from you.
🙂
“From family, friends, groups, or bras – support is important.”
This sentence made me laugh 😂
So glad, hope this weekend is ‘uplifting’. 😉
Such a fun post — and a fun site! Glad to have discovered you today!
It’s always lovely to find each other in this giant virtual haystack – hope we can virtually visit often. 🙂
Me too, just discovered you today. Thanks for all the smiles!! 🙂 🙂
Glad we found each other, it’s more amazing than you’d think in this huge virtual haystack. 🙂
Indeed! 🙂
🙂
Wow, Ian, what a lovely welcome back gift! I’m pleased to be back and barring any unforeseen circumstances (just waiting for yet another shoe to drop, hopefully not a whole closet full of them this time) I hope to stay. Thank you for reblogging this, much appreciated. I hope you have been well and happy, wishing for a wonderful combination of both for us, my friend. Best wishes and hugs xoxo
Sleep! At least I think it’s my favorite… it’s been so long… 😉
Sending soothing & supportive thoughts your way!
I dream of sleeping. And Daylight Savings Time isn’t going to help, then again, with insomnia you always feel like it’s Daylight Savings Time. lol 😉
Hope this weekend is treating you kindly so far.
Very true! Thanks, hope you’re having a wonderful weekend as well!
🙂
Hilarious post, Donna. 😀 — Suzanne
Thank you kindly, hope this weekend is treating you well, Suzanne. 🙂
