<br />

You text good morning/good night to
loved ones instead of calling them on the phone to talk. <br />
<br />
7. Your reason for NOT staying in touch with friends and family is that they
don't have e-mail addresses or cell phones (for texting). <br />
<br />
8. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is
home to help you carry in the groceries.<br />
<br />
9. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.<br />
<br />
10. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first
20 or 30 (or 50) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn
around to go and get it.<br />
<br />
11. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of
money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in
Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child
turned 18.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it
discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card and write
"Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for child support
payments to begin. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

around the corner, and I haven’t purchased one single gift . . . not for ANYONE!
I’m still busy sorting and decluttering after moving. I haven’t done any
decorating. No tree, no garland, and the stockings are </span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">NOT</b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;"> hung by the

much about it until my daughter offered me a small Christmas tree that she was preparing
to donate to Goodwill. Then . . . a light came on in my head . . . It’s time to
decorate for Christmas! That thought, along with my already convoluted “to-do”
stuff, triggered something inside me . . . STRESS!</span></p>

with some level of stress, I need to do something to relieve it. I learned some
time ago that effective stress-relief techniques focus on relaxing the mind </span><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">and</span></b><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"> </span></b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">the body.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">For starters, I can
relieve a lot of my stress by </span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">dumping limiting beliefs</b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">. Limiting beliefs
are those things I believe about myself that place limitations on my abilities.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Question: Is it possible to relieve stress? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">Answer: Yes. But, before
I go on if your level of stress is </span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">serious, consult your physician</b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">. But,

I’m NOT ready! Are you? Trying to get ready and get myself in the mood, I
started thinking about where to start searching for my Christmas decorations.
Ummm . . . where in the middle of all this unpacked stuff, could they possibly
be?!</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">While

Decorating Tips</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">1.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Choose simple Christmas centerpieces. They look great
despite the fact they are plain. A few candles and some red bows will transform
them into instantly elegant pieces.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">2.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">

and add a warm holiday touch is to use a small pre-lit Christmas tree that
comes already decorated. Put one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">3.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Arrange your Christmas figurines and candles in groups for
a stunning effect. Groups of 3 or 5 will make your mantel more interesting and
appealing.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwaVL0HbdePcwiWkMdWVi7QG2Hr1d-NsL-NMvoXyZKYrlgx2PXWyfMVnB9xD_K_KQZwLK6CqSNJcE56q4yPOKWeIzSmdQZZykpeva_huILOl3esKjwn1MiOS5hocyYYjR0ysSxCvfapSItcI5XLRIGXNYFCRTELzxQV0dR75l72Du6QvdZLCmvQgFJOQG6/s4032/IMG_5057.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwaVL0HbdePcwiWkMdWVi7QG2Hr1d-NsL-NMvoXyZKYrlgx2PXWyfMVnB9xD_K_KQZwLK6CqSNJcE56q4yPOKWeIzSmdQZZykpeva_huILOl3esKjwn1MiOS5hocyYYjR0ysSxCvfapSItcI5XLRIGXNYFCRTELzxQV0dR75l72Du6QvdZLCmvQgFJOQG6/w300-h400/IMG_5057.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">4.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">

so it won’t dry out and become a fire hazard.</span></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">5.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Don’t limit your decorations to your Christmas tree. Use
some ornaments and bows to decorate other large house plants.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">Hopefully, these few tips will get your inspiration juices flowing and
get you in the mood for decorating your home for Christmas. </span></p>dellgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04620967832227857674noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920632640472244629.post-18201266890563501392023-12-04T16:57:00.003-06:002023-12-04T18:15:12.738-06:00Monday Night Humor<h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"> Computer

Thankfully, I got a few things done while away from blogging

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It all started with a simple decision to move. The idea had been brewing in our minds for a

goodbye to our old neighborhood was both exciting and bittersweet. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgVWlTvbWiOj134mUDgENH3vE91MU-vJCGv2pB_fZpdJeRpK_yi3g9T83-kyUkFaADyjnroyNBy63xUr89SX1J36XJ6AGC-viZEMYsErfwyEZ1qEHwkc7BuJUCsrQZKkj6hrEsrQL9pPGoxanosfS4fZiUcgfY5mwTO0yu3awnd54JhLPiGM36Dq3fofOX2" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgVWlTvbWiOj134mUDgENH3vE91MU-vJCGv2pB_fZpdJeRpK_yi3g9T83-kyUkFaADyjnroyNBy63xUr89SX1J36XJ6AGC-viZEMYsErfwyEZ1qEHwkc7BuJUCsrQZKkj6hrEsrQL9pPGoxanosfS4fZiUcgfY5mwTO0yu3awnd54JhLPiGM36Dq3fofOX2=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">After the move, I quickly realized that moving was a
monumental task. Unpacking, organizing, and adjusting to the new surroundings
consumed my time and energy. My blogging ritual became a distant memory.</span></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Finding a suitable workspace in the new place took longer
than expected, and I struggled to reestablish my blogging/creative routine. My workspace is still a work-in-progress. The
new house held its own allure, with its new opportunities, further distracting
me from my online presence. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6bzEMvStLgykH8C19SvZDU9YMBZZxFfUnuhcBH_qfDCE_wDt57WbgfnBfkxbq1WcJn6Rwy3-q7RDlpkIAgDTM1Mol8eVcj4YFxxgILEn8Jl4Q0qpSZ9JaXAjACs0zcIlTCntnqSY9ej3gxznVCr7t7nteuFviCU8v45qPYvGvga2ME0PHHxva6gzgklFL" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6bzEMvStLgykH8C19SvZDU9YMBZZxFfUnuhcBH_qfDCE_wDt57WbgfnBfkxbq1WcJn6Rwy3-q7RDlpkIAgDTM1Mol8eVcj4YFxxgILEn8Jl4Q0qpSZ9JaXAjACs0zcIlTCntnqSY9ej3gxznVCr7t7nteuFviCU8v45qPYvGvga2ME0PHHxva6gzgklFL" width="320" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Building friendships and connections with my neighbors became
a part of my daily doings, and blogging took a back seat as I immersed myself
in my new life journey. With each passing day, you, my faithful blog friends were
left wondering about my absence.</span></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Months turned into a year, and I realized that while moving
had enriched my life in many ways, it had also kept me from blogging. However,
it wasn't an ending but a hiatus, and I promised myself that I would return to
the virtual world, sharing my experiences and adventures in this new chapter of
my life once I found the right balance. I haven't found it yet...LOLL 😍<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Before I get too long-winded, I’ll stop here. I hope all is
well with you, and that everything is going okay. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.<br />
<br />
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a
shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized
what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted
down. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
A few shovel - loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was
astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the
donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he
would shake it off and take a step up. </span><p style="font-style: normal;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up
over the edge of the well and happily trotted off! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">Life is going to shovel dirt on you . . . all kinds of
dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step
up. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of

Charlotte, NC, man having purchased a case of very rare, very expensive cigars,
insured them against fire among other things. Within a month, having smoked his
entire stockpile of cigars and without having made even his first premium
payment on the policy, the man filed a claim against the insurance company. In
his claim, the man stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small
fires."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">The
insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had
consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The man sued.... and won.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">In
delivering the ruling the judge agreeing that the claim was frivolous, stated
nevertheless that the man held a policy from the company in which it had
warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would
insure against fire, without defining what it considered to be
"unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Rather
than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process the insurance company accepted
the ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he lost in "the
fires."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">After the
man cashed the check, however, the company had him arrested on 24 counts of
arson. With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being
used against him, the man was convicted of intentionally burning his insured
property and sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 19.2pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></div><p></p><h2 style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">SMH . . . 👀</h2></div>dellgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04620967832227857674noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920632640472244629.post-38345655178735012292022-08-05T16:12:00.000-05:002022-08-05T16:12:17.735-05:00Thank God It's Friday! <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> A Friday Prayer</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhD9UXRFg77rmNP6VYRv-g3WqmD8MJvP7Uw5ZKSQEXFKeWOJ_nS53IwlruTRRF7beay5tx1htsB70Yru1XccF3MKLSXH_siKC8gv9r2X-h66hqPQR2RodZ0PTsUhWq50S10zpnuR47Sta7wxqcRaExl4eZ64RLKYcJ8koy979nfNbi7KrgRTP2Bf0Ut3g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="522" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhD9UXRFg77rmNP6VYRv-g3WqmD8MJvP7Uw5ZKSQEXFKeWOJ_nS53IwlruTRRF7beay5tx1htsB70Yru1XccF3MKLSXH_siKC8gv9r2X-h66hqPQR2RodZ0PTsUhWq50S10zpnuR47Sta7wxqcRaExl4eZ64RLKYcJ8koy979nfNbi7KrgRTP2Bf0Ut3g=w464-h640" width="464" /></a></p><span style="font-size: large;"><h3 style="text-align: center;">Wishing you a wonderful and blessed Friday night. </h3><h3 style="text-align: center;">Have a great weekend, blog friends! </h3></span><p></p>dellgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04620967832227857674noreply@blogger.com12
