Hello, my name is Sam. Sam Kirk. But my friends call me Goldie.
Welcome to the Daily Flabbergast where we take one day at a time to stop a whirlwind. Whatever that might be for you at any given moment.
There are no strict rules here. Only guidelines. To know more about the structure and content of this blog, please check out the following posts:
If you prefer to dive right in without reading the manual, head on over to my Home page where you will find all my posts.
If you want to contact me/ ask me something/ provide feedback please do so via my Contact page.
You can also connect with me on Twitter.

If you would like to own a book with my first-ever published story in paperback, check out Lulu, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
An e-book version is also available on Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
I would love to know what you thought of the story!

A children’s book – ‘Creative Gems vol. 1’ – containing a story of mine entitled ‘Bigger and Smaller Fears’ can be purchased via Amazon in paperback, hardcover, or as an ebook.
Whatever you do, remember to ‘Stay Golden!’
One day at a time... 
I noticed your Liebster award, the name is awfully similar to my last name. Just wondering where the name comes from?

I don’t think anyone really knows how this originated. Liebster is a German word meaning “dearest” and the award is meant to recognize nice/ fun/ interesting bloggers. What’s the origin of your name?

Hey! As far as I know the name Liebers (my husband’s last name) is German and the name means love or lover. I was just wondering if you had that last name. Enjoy your blog! I am just getting started with the whole blogging thing!

Oh, interesting. Nah, it’s just a circulating award (and not my last name).
Thank you! And good luck with yours! It’s fun.

I laughed out loud, because I went to see YOUR About page and it seems like all I was doing was scrolling. And scrolling. And then scrolling some more. (Hilarious pictures you got in there, btw.) And then, at the end you write “As I said, I talk a lot. lol.”. 😀

Hey, Goldie! This was the first time I checked your About page and I’m so surprised. I always imagined you to be an old wise guy! I’m sorry if that is offensive, though.
Great page! And I don’t think you’re an AI.😁

Hey, Goldie. Doesn’t look like I’ve been to this page before… which explains why I didn’t have a copy of Static Dreams Volume Two (I do now, I’ve just bought the eBook version). I shall indeed let you know what I think of your story! 🙂
Here’s a little tip, in case you didn’t know: booklinker.net offers a free service where you can create a unique ‘mybook.to’ link to books on amazon, a ‘genius link’ that automagically sends the visitor to the appropriate amazon site in their neck of the planet. I created one, just for you, using my account there: https://mybook.to/StaticDreams-Two 🙂

I am SO excited to hear you got a copy! Yes, I would love to hear your thoughts. Are you into … ‘twisted’ tales? Your writing doesn’t seem to involve those, really.
That’s awesome! I think I remember reading about something like this for Twitter but didn’t think it worked on other platforms. This book was put together, published, and marketed, etc by not me, so I use her links. But I will test this out right now and see how far I can run with this.

I’m in my golden years, so far as years go….
Why they’re called “golden,” I surely don’t know.
They’re really years when one doesn’t know whether,
Or how much longer, one can keep body and soul together

Good question. I guess you should value life more as you age. However, as I tell everyone – life isn’t always fair and it’s not only the “old” that die…
