SOCS – bookmark

For Linda’s challenge:

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS April 11, 2026

***

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “bookmark.” Use as a noun, use it as a verb, use it way you’d like. Have fun!

Do you save things to read or listen to on ‘bookmark’ in your computer? I save a lot of things that sound interesting, and sometimes I go back to listen or read them.

Let me tell you what happened.

It’s happened before, too. Somehow, my list of bookmarked things got moved to the right side of my screen. It is usually on the left side, and that’s where we are used to it being so we can find things. But somehow it moved to the right side and is not visible unless we click a deal to show it.

Maybe I messed up something? Or maybe it just spontaneously went over there? I don’t know, but I can’t figure out how to move it back.  Yes, I’ve looked up how to do it. I watched videos how to do it. I still can’t figure it out. Usually the instructions say do this and this and it’s all fixed. Nope, not for me. I can’t even find the place of ‘this and this’ in order to fix it.

I just looked at a past post on bookmarks, and I had complained about the same thing on SOCS on March 21st. Somehow that time they magically appeared back on the left side again on their own. Maybe they will this time, too.

I like all kinds of bookmarks for books. They come in all styles and subjects. I got some magnetic ones for Christmas. I have fabric ones, ribbon ones with a charm on it, and lots of plastic coated ones with fun pictures or sayings.

I never messed up a library book by dog earring a corner, but for my own books, I sometimes do. I also flatten the book out (crack the spine) because I don’t like to read in the ditch. Sometimes I use a spring hairclip to hold open the pages, too.

For awhile I made my own bookmarks, and lots of others like these below:

Just one of the  many bookmarks I drew designs on. I put a little  blue ribbon on them and leave them wherever I go for people to find and keep.  This one has the word Peace on it.
