Guilty as charged. I like the same old same old leaving the new behind. I know it would be wiser to be more open but, I like what’s familiar. I guess that makes me a stick in the mud alright. Though I do love new words, so perhaps there’s hope for me after all. π
I like what is familiar because it is comfortable. But I do like to learn about new things, and ideas and meet new people. So do you. You like to talk to people you don’t know while you are out and about. And you are interested in learning new things, then sharing what you learn with others. You may think you are a stick in the mud, but you are not.
Well, my mud seems to have just gotten a make-over. Thank you ma’am.
You are most welcome.π
I’m all a blush, as they say.

Yes it did!π₯
Cool word! A Synonym for neophobia would be Southern!
That may be changing with all of us transplanted Yankees in these Southern parts.πΌ
I laughed at Sadje’s comment. Excellent and right.
Have a fabulous day, Patricia. β₯
I laughed, too.π
In other words, stick in the mud! π»
You got that right!
