Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Welcome to February. We’re getting ready for the big game here in the US, but Linda G. Hill has given us a challenge to get through first: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “choices.” Base your post on the subject of making small, uneventful choices. Enjoy!” If we were having a beer,... Continue Reading →
I apologize for the fact that this post may be a little too US-centric for WATWB, but it has the potential to be such good news, that I had to share it. It’s a rare moment these days, when the US Congress and our President actually work together and try to do something good for... Continue Reading →
Last week, we received a warning flier in the mail. “You’re TV Equipment is Outdated!” I’ve been getting emails about this for several months. I don’t really care. I switched to Hulu and YouTube TV over a year ago. This mailing called attention to a series of events over the next 90 days, where I... Continue Reading →
That’s not a typo. This isn’t a post about Facebook’s research and development. This post is about Facebook’s razzle-dazzle attempts to get me to spend more money. I’m sorry, that would be spend money – I’ve never spent my own money on anything Facebook. I qualified that last statement because I did once place an... Continue Reading →
It’s time for Linda G.

I use it all the time for temperature (since we are the only place on the planet that still uses Fahrenheit) but... Continue Reading →
I have spoken to the Happiness Engineers, and while I didn't get the answers I wanted, I got some that might work. If I can't be happy, hopefully I can be less sad about this new editor. I asked the Happiness Engineers if there was a way to indent paragraph blocks. I was told that... Continue Reading →
On Friday, I sponsored a guest post by Carver Eastdoor. As I explained in the comments, Carver Eastdoor was the faerie name given to me by Teagan, when the name-choosing-chart rendered me Flora Stargazer. Of course, several times when I tried to type Eastdoor, it hit the page as “Eadstoor” due to my fat fingers.... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday and with any luck, Cheryl will be back behind the bar as we enjoy an adult beverage, some light conversation and try to accommodate Linda G. Hill’s fun Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. This week, Linda has given us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘loud.’ Find any word that... Continue Reading →
