I'm practicing sleeping standing up so I can catch naps on elevators.

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 praise.

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 there some kind of fix!? If there isn't, we might as well return to the dark ages.

MISTAKE?

accident, actor, brilliant, errors, hook, Jackson, mistake, movie, Samuel L. Jackson, scripture
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, you're off the hook. You're welcome.

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 cat!"
"Mom," my nephew said. "It's a family cat!"

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 one?"

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 explain!"

April, August, December, February, flowers, Halloween, January, July, June, March, May, November, October, Rules, September, spring, things
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 October through November. Winter is December through February.
March 1st is the first day of the new year. This is when you put out the spring things. In
June you put out more flowers. September is when you cut back on the flowers. In October
you take away the flowers and put out the golden leaves and other fall things. You are now
allowed to put out Halloween things. December, and not before, you can bring out Christmas
joy.
If you follow these rules, you're life will be much better and you will make me happy. That's
very important. Making me happy.

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 food.

New Job?
He: My son just got a job as a night stalker.
Me: Night stalker!? That's a job now!? What? Is he going to get a paid vacation? Medical
leave? Bonuses? Holiday pay? What is this world coming to?
He: No. He's a night stocker
Me: Oh.

BUY THAT CAR!!!

No comments
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 has to be built. Someone
gets paid for that. Materials have to be bought. Materials have to be delivered. None of this
is free.
Then comes the assembling, shipping, and selling. The car, once purchased, has to be
maintained. After a time, the car becomes a used car and sold again. Eventually it ends in
a junkyard and it's parts sold. At each of these stages someone earns money and a family is
fed, clothed and sheltered. And, what do you know? The money is passed on. A never ending
circle.
So, buy that car and know you helped feed a hungry family.

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 to throw around, I wouldn't spend 2000 on a rack. A nice pair of shoes, maybe. Dinner for four, perhaps. Towel rack, no. A rubber ducky? Now that makes sense.

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 day.

Drive Careful
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 charm.

bare trees, brightness, dark day, heart, open, painted, sunlight, tall
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 it.

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 his pals from sharing his popcorn, he never got a bite. All the others were content. He never was and he went hungry. In the long run, selfishness just doesn't pay.

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.

Consumer Electronics Show, cool, drawback, folds, invention, inventions, laundry, robot
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 and help the robot. Yeah, that needs work.
