Frozen ll
If you're wondering if you would like Frozen ll, you might want to know, my nine year nephew gave it a rave review. He said it was better than the first. Equal to Godzilla. Equal to Godzilla?
That is academy award winning prais...

You Tube Ads

commercial, dark ages, interruptions, middle, money, sentence, word, You Tube
I grew up with commercial t. v. so I am used to the interruptions. And I understand we have to have ads if we don't want to pay actual money for what we view. But You Tube is about to drive me crazy.
(Yes, I know. It's a short trip.) My problem with You Tube ads is that they come in the middle of a sentence, sometimes in the middle of a word. Does it have to be this way!? In this hi-tech world,
isn't...

MISTAKE?

I was watching a You Tube video about movie errors. They showed a clip from Pulp Fiction.
They were pointing out the mistake Samuel L. Jackson made with his well known Bible quote. But it was not necessarily a mistake. Maybe the writer got it wrong or Jackson did, but it is an accident that works. People often misquote scripture. It happens all the time. So, Mr. Jackson, you brilliant actor,...

CAT
My niece and her family were preparing to get a kitten. They were trying to decide if it should be a family cat or belong to her nine year old son. My niece was talking about how to take care of a cat. She was saying, ''And you would have to clean the litter box."
"Mom," my nephew said. "It's a family ca...

Everyone Needs One
I was at a family birthday party when something was spilled. Someone said, "I didn't do it." I said, I have an alibi." My third niece said, "I saw you there." I said, "That was my evil twin." My fourth niece asked, "Why don't I have an evil twin when I need on...

Godzilla
My nine year old nephew loves Godzilla. He has the latest Godzilla movie and watches it often. Sometimes he quietly watches and other times he makes comments. One day we were watching it when King Ghidorah was down and Godzilla was standing over him. When Ghidorah was about to be crushed, my nephew provided his dialogue. "No.No. Let me explai...

There are rules, people. Rules. Halloween is in October. Not September. I don't want to see
Halloween decorations before the official start of fall, according to Linda's rules for living.
Here's how the seasons really lay out. Anyone who tells you different is just plain wrong.
Spring is March through May. Summer is June through August. September is a prelude to fall.
Fall is...

NO WAY!!!
I love the life hacks advice. They have a lot of interesting ideas. I was reading about five ways to lose weight. It started with drink more water and I think, I can do that. The third was less sugar. I had pause on that one. When it said, no fast food, I knew I was dealing with a quack. Everyone knows there is no life without fast fo...

He: No. He's a night stocker

I was reading a book where one character was upset that another character had bought a really expensive car. "Do you know how many families could be feed with that money?"
I have heard this type of question for years. I have never heard anyone ask, "Do you know how many families are fed because I spent this money?"
A car has to have a designer. It's not done for free. A prototype...

Cost Of Living
l found a game where you decorate a room or backyard. You get a choice of different items, but
you have to earn coins by playing games. I was decorating a bathroom and picked out a stand alone towel rack then moved on to other things. Then I thought, wait a minute. 2000 dollars for a towel rack? The t. v. cost 1600. The pool, 1700. Who pays 2000 dollars for a towel rack? Even if I had billions...

Sugar, Sugar
I was listening to someone put down sugar. They said, it was bad. They said, it was all right when it came from something natural like fruit. I thought, sugar is natural. It's not made in a lab. It grows out of the ground, like fruit. It's not Frankenstein's monster. So put down your pitchforks and torches and have a sweet d...

Here's a story. People were tired of cars speeding through their neighborhood. They put up signs that said, "Drive Like Your Kids Live Here." Nothing changed. Then someone put up a sign that said, "Drive Like Your Pet Lives here." Worked like a cha...

It had been a dark day, but sometime in the late afternoon the clouds parted and a little brightness came through. I looked up at these bare, tall trees and felt a sense of delight. The trees looked as if they had been painted with sunlight. You can find a little joy in the small things, but your heart has to be open to ...

Selfish
I saw a small group of pigeons eating popcorn someone had dumped on the sidewalk. There was one pigeon that didn't want to share. It was his popcorn. No one else could have any. He would
peck at a pigeon and make him stopped eating. Behind His back, the other pigeons ate away.
He would turn and stopped them. Every time his back was turned, the other pigeons ate. He was so busy trying to keep...

I Want Justice!
It's an outrage! What injustice! When I figured it out I wanted to stand on my soapbox and shout at the world. Every year we have one spring, one summer and one fall. Every year we have two, count them, two winters! I think it is time we rise up and demand the new year be moved to March. That is where it belongs. That is when spring begins. It's only fair....

One thing I love to hear about is new and cool inventions. The place where you can find these is at the Consumer Electronics Show. One invention I just learned about is a robot that folds laundry for you. How neat is that!? Now you can wash and dry your clothes and let the robot do the rest. Cool! There is one drawback. You have to feed the robot each item one at a time. You have to stand there...
