What Else Are You Going To Do?

I've been home sick and in the evenings I haven't been up to much. So I've been surfing the web and listening to podcasts and well, listening to podcasts about surfing the web. Here are a few wonderful ways to spend time on the web....or is it waste time? Well, if it's helping me de-stress, I say it's therapeutic.
Cute dogs. Who can resist them? And you can add your own or add captions to the ones there already.
Pundits. This is not a bunch of people yelling at each other. It's funny photos and funnier captions.
Cakewrecks - Saw this on Urlesque and it cracked me up.
Falling Sand - Etch-a-sketch meets lava lamp. Have fun.
Make you own comic stip - This is a lot harder than it looks. You can see my lame attempts out there as glorybeeattitudes.
Visit the Gallery of Regrettable Food - Oh, maybe we don't want to go there.
Refrigerator magnet poetry and more - This is a silly site and people will steal your letters. Oh my!
Virtual Poohsticks - Low tech but charming. I remember this old favorite every now and then and revisit it. I'm glad to see it's still there.
101 more ideas -Lots more links here. Enjoy!

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

Just a few more memories

There were a few photos that I didn't post on the entry about our trip to Boca Raton.  I'm sure I have a bunch more in various places. I figure we gained 7 pounds, 700 friends, 7,000 memories and 7,000,000 photographs. Video from Awards Night

Ornament of the Day - December 1

After a year long hiatus from blogging, I'm back to muse about the ornaments hanging on our tree.  Each day I will select an ornament and tell something about where it came from and the memories that it invokes.   December 1 - Currier & Ives This ornament came to me from my parents. They got it as a gift for opening a Christmas Club. These accounts are not so popular now and they sometimes earned a bad rap for having a lot of restrictions and a low or non-existent interest rate, but back in the day they were how we paid for Christmas. Members were often given some sort of token give such as this ornament.   When I look at this ornament it takes me back to my youth and young adulthood. We'd put a few dollars into our Christmas Club each week and just after Thanksgiving we'd get our cash.  Shopping meant going "downtown".  For us, that meant downtown Scranton.   Sometimes we'd take the bus. I remember as a child how exciting it was to be downtown g...
