Thanks everyone! This one was the big half-century but I'm happy about reaching a major milestone. I always looked forward to getting older and now it is nearly here. I'll be the old lady dressed in purple with the flaming red henna-hair.

No, hang on a minute, I am already!

And yes, Guest, I'm to blame for the 100 word story, and the Story Challenge: a flea, an orange & a bicycle seat. Both of which has given me as much enjoyment as any of the threads here because I love seeing Mudcatters expanding their already amazing imaginations.
