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...

A Good Week for Geezers

The 75 year old Joan Rivers was crowned the new Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday. On The Biggest Loser show, Helen (who was constantly bemoaning her age vs. the younger people she was competing with) won the whole enchilada. She had lost a total of 140 pounds. And Jerry, who is 64 years old, won the $100K prize for losing almost 48 percent of his body weight. Even the Aussie who was on the show from Australia's Biggest Loser was 57 (my age incidentally). Does this give me hope or add pressure? I'm not so sure. But I'm just happy to know that it's not all about the twenty or thirty somethings.

Spring Fever Joy List

It was a beautiful day here in the Mid-Atlantic. We had unseasonably high temps and it was a day for spring fever. Sometimes on days like this when all seems right in my world I wonder how it gets any better than this. I think back to all the springs in my life. I remember times I took a mental health day just to feel the newness of the season. I recall a lilac dress I had when I was a senior in high school and how I felt like spring personified. I recollect writing poetry and being in love and just feeling like I was walking on air. Here's my joy list from today: The high clouds in the bright blue sky The scent of the spring blooms The pretty tulips out front at the building where I work Flowering trees along the highway The feel of the sun The flower sale we had as a fundraiser and the pretty begonias I bought Seeing everyone break out their warm season clothes Knowing our dear little cat was spending most of the day on his favorite perch on the sun porch Thinking about the u...
