The Silent P
By Fred Prout
Transient observations of a couple of life’s absurdities.
This piece has absolutely, positively no reference to one am wake up calls and not wearing hearing aids. Promise!!!
It is possible to do two things at the same time. Reading, observing and thinking for example. About the English language for one. I have violated at least half of the numerous rules of use. Sometimes intentionally. Sometimes not.
I read a lot. I have battled with the letter G for a long time. There are stories and nursery rhymes about gnomes. Before we talk about them, I would like to know how an H got into rhymes. Were there leftover Hs from British authors who wrote about Enery Iggins? I guess if you don’t use it you lose it.
So, gnomes added a G. What happened to all those other Gs? One theory is that someone created the word phlegm to describe your morning hawck. Come to think of it ,why start the word with ph ? Did we overuse the F word to the point of extinction? No I don’t think so. But, I digress. Reach into the box of extra Gs and create phlegm if you must. Not the morning kind.
Now we get to the letter P. It is sounded by Pursing the liPs and Pushing air to make a P sound. Well, I guess not always. Cause we have what is called a silent P. One of my favorites is Psycho. I don’t know why it’s one of my favorites. Maybe I hear it a lot. There are also real things and Pseudo things. I think that imPlies make believe. Like Pseudo leather. Or Pseudo food. Like Parsley or sPam. There’s even a Pill made with what is called Psyllium. It makes you PooP.
I’m sure there are many other things I could bring uP but I’ll let you work on these confusing words. Just so you can become really Proficient in this exercise try to think of other examPles. I would like you to start every morning with a silent P. Then move on to other words with lost or extra letters. It’s not just rhetoric. Rhetoric? There’s another one. Click on rePly and let us know what kind of weird stuff you can add .
There’s gotta be ruffly a bazillion laffs to be found. I just know they’re there. Ya know? Oh, a silent K. Well…

The Transformative Power of Volunteerism for Your Health
By Sharon Elliott
Our Park community is a tapestry of experiences, woven together by the challenges we’ve faced, including profound losses. Many of us have recently said goodbye to parents, partners, spouses, children, close friends, or beloved pets. Unresolved grief can lead to debilitating depression and even dementia. If Alzheimer’s runs in your family, it’s natural to worry about your future.
But here’s the inspiring truth: the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia can often be delayed. You have the power to change feelings of depression, loneliness, and disconnection through both physical and mental engagement. If large groups make you uneasy or you fear you won’t fit in, rest assured, there are smaller, welcoming groups that seek only your company and participation. These committees are vibrant spaces where ideas flourish, and members share their talents through crafts, games, and skills.
Moreover, dedicated teams work to keep our community beautiful and inviting, alongside groups that host speakers who broaden our understanding of the larger world around us. We firmly believe that life should be enjoyable and meaningful.
Everyone needs physical activity—even mild exercise—because it has a positive impact on our well-being. Don’t wait; join us in creating a fulfilling, healthier future together! The Transformative Power of Volunteerism for Your Health!
