Before we get to this week’s theme, thank you again to Silver Beet who quietly added 50HP to the pot. That said, and because we'd like to consistently offer prizes, other additions to the prize pot would be more than welcome. If this is something you'd like to do, send it to the community account (@hive-106316) or to @lizelle or to @fionasfavourites with the memo: #bow prize sponsorship and we'll make sure it gets to the right place.
☀️Thank you in advance☀️
Some housekeeping - as usual
- Please follow our community curation trail - another way to support the community and its members. You can sign up here.
- Join us for a coffee and a chat in our Discord server which is open to subscribed members only.
Again, a special thank you to @macchiata for all her help with this as we navigate our way through more new things. It's not true that you can't teach old dogs new tricks - we’re all still learning!
🌻A reminder🌻
For those of you who are regular contributors to the Silver Bloggers Community #bow initiative, and newcomers, too, a reminder that:
The winners' announcement is separate from the new theme. If you missed the winning post, you'll find it here.
to keep things fair: the same person (account) may not win twice in succession.
In summary, last edition's winner may enter, but the contribution, like those of the judges' panel, will not be eligible for a prize .
Theme for the Week closing on Tuesday 16 November 2021

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I have to say that I thought this topic was great, kudos to @traciyork for suggesting it.
wao, it really is an incredible truth. I have seen those programs on television and I had asked myself that question, how do they know that they are pregnant? Thank God everything worked out for you and your baby @mjvdc
Yes, everything went well, thank God. My family jokes that I was supposed to be on that show. Hahaha!
Just one? 😂
Seriously, thanks for running with this suggestion, @hive-106316! I think I know the thing I'm going to share... or it might be the other thing... oh wait, I forgot about this other thing too that could work... 🤣
I've read a few seemingly tall tales from you before, so I can only imagine what else you'll surprise me with! Truth is stranger than fiction...😜

This was not an easy topic, I really had to think long and hard about what could sound like a lie, even though some things that have happened to me sometimes sounds stranger than fiction.
Hope you enjoy my ineligible entry A Lie it's not, I Slept on the Rooftop of a High Rise Building!
