Cards Against Humanity
Last week I received a card in the mail from Dawn Marie, which is not unusual. She is one of the most thoughtful people I have ever known. She sends cards to say “thank you” for thinking about her, being thoughtful, for checking in, and for special days. She even sends cards after staying with us for a few days. What I am getting at is that it was not surprising when I received a card in the mail from her, however, I have been a terrible friend lately. I have not done anything to warrant a special card from DM. When I opened it, a card dropped out: What…

A Long Over Due Thank You
This post is long over due and was an oversight on my part when I posted a “Thank You” to all of the holiday givers. I received two Amazon gift cards that were both unexpected and very much appreciated. The first one came from Cliff and a few hours later I received another one from Outlaw. It means a lot to me that you both took the time to be so thoughtful, especially during such a busy time of year. You guys have shows such generosity and loyalty that I want you to know that it does not go unnoticed by me. Thank you!

Is Cheesecake a Pie?
If you follow me twitter account you most likely saw the discussion regarding Cheesecake being consumed in honor of #NationalPieDay. That started the argument about whether cheesecake is a pie or a cake. Later on in the afternoon Bubba asked about Boston Cream Pie and is it a pie or just another imposter? Dwwindsor, who is the reason for the Cheesecake discussion, researched it and submitted a report, which was both amusing and enlightening. Read it in its entirety and you may find your answer, but it might also bring up more questions. Once you are finished, leave us your interpretation on if Cheesecake is a pie or a cake,…

To My January Birthday Boys
This post pertains to the January birthday’s that we have celebrated annually for many years now. This is the first year that we are not hosting the annual celebration, but I hope you all know it was not an easy decision to cancel this one. Happy Birthday, Cliff – thank you for being as loyal as you have been, despite the fact I am your only non-geek lady you enjoy. Thank you for always helping with my computer hiccups and disasters and for showing up in my cam room when you are able to give a few minutes of your time. I would like to especially thank you for my…

A Happy Break
Okay, I have been way too negative in my last two posts, and probably most of this week. I think we need some elephants in our day to lift spirits and bring a smile to my face, and hopefully yours.

Built up Rant
Several months ago our neighbors contacted our internet company, but because they are at a lower elevation than we are, they could not get a signal strong enough to work. Our property has hills, dips and slopes in every direction, but at the back of our property there is a high point, that sees the tower (which is needed because it is line-of-site-internet). When they all discussed it with me, I specifically said, as long as it does not interfere with my world, I am okay with it. But, with that said, I want it running strong and stable before my internet is moved to the new pole. That did not…

Calling ALL Apple Techs
I need your help! Please. I have been on Skyprivate (SP) for over a year now and it has been decent enough for me to try to resolve this issue. Unfortunately, they have turned out to be as helpful as Streamate and all other cam sites, for that matter. I need to install a new SP plugin, so I download it and slide the SP logo to the applications folder. When I am prompted to replace the old file, I accept which brings up another dialog box. It says that the “SP Application is in use”. I have checked and it is not open. There is no black dot underneath…

An Overabundance of Thanks
I have received so many generous gifts over the last month and I just want to take a few minutes to give you all a proper “thank you”. The kindness you all show me on a daily basis warms my heart, but the overabundance of gifts that I receive amazes me each time. I have never been one to expect anything, and yet you all continue to send surprises; some gifts are off of my wishlist and others by your own choosing. I hope you will always know how much I truly appreciate each one of you. There are several gifts from a gentleman that asked for privacy, so I…

It Is a New Year
Happy New Year 2017! As we say g’bye to 2016 and welcome in the new year, let us take joy in the simple fact that the holiday’s are behind us and we have 11 months of happiness to experience before the next. Many people will make resolutions, some keeping them but most breaking their goals within the first week. It is inevitable and yet with the new year comes new hope and a zest for change. I do not make resolutions but do hope for a bright 2017. Here’s to wishing for positive changes and more zen for all of us.

Hogwash!
Say what you will about horoscopes and fortune tellers, but I do believe that there is something about ones zodiac sign. Maybe not every character “flaw” fits, but water signs love the water, earth signs are more in tune to becoming one with Buddha (yeah, I made that up), and I don’t remember the rest, but whatever. I think there is something to your zodiac sign and the month you were born. I will dissect my own sign, just to make a point. It could be said I am bull-headed and stubborn, a work horse and very practical. What does not fit me is that taureans tend to be over-indulgent…
