Good question. Very legitimate too. The operative word is MONEY. It's like when someone really bright feels it's time for a reboot, remake or re-imagining of some movie. It's the same with computers. I call it The Search for More Money. <br /><br />What's that... you heard cuss words you never knew existed? I'm paying attention now. I can always you some extra cuss words to address the next red tape fetishist.<br /><br />Peter Rabbit...

I went over and read and chuckled. She's a true cat lover and I so enjoyed the adventures of the cat she recently rescued. I signed on as a follower.<br /><br />New computers mostly flummox me. I'm truly technologically challenged. One of my nieces is coming over tonight to show me how to use a DVD connected to the TV and also how to use an older iPod that a friend gave me. I want to borrow audio books from the library and listen to them as I walk. Take care of yourself. You are dear to so many of us.

The old man who lived next door (he is now dead but was nearly 100) could say things that a younger man would get his face slapped or sued. When I weed, I often stand and bend over at the waist. He said, "I always like to see a good woman with her fanny in the air." With him, I just laughed and thought it was rather cute. haBelvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402558570483074059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-82171560991740471942014-08-18T12:04:18.302-07:002014-08-18T12:04:18.302-07:00Al

However said watering can could be turned into a planter ... <br /><br />Those hot plots don't sound quite right do they .. enjoy all you do .. and am glad you decided to take a little time out to smell those flowers and enjoy the summer weather ... <br /><br />Cheers from a slightly younger blogger!

Oops I got caught reading your mind. LO...Dear Julia<br />Oops I got caught reading your mind. LOL No but we seem to be on the same page a lot of the time.<br />You just said the important thing..."there is so much to do before you die." That is exactly how I've been feeling for some time now. But how fortunate that you recognize this at a young age. Think of how much more you'll get out of life and you won't be wasting precious moments on meaningless drivel. People often ask me what I do with "all" my time... (Ha what time?) Every day I make a list of all the things I want to get done. They are not necessarily big, earth-shaking projects, but I like to know that when I go to bed at night, i've pretty much accomplished what I set out to do.<br /> I know books are important in your life and in mine too. I read mostly history and I can never get my fill of that. When a certain country is on the news a lot, I want to know all of its history and just what makes it tick. When you mention Argentina, I want to know more about it. So no, there is never time to get everything in that we want to learn but it's interesting trying. Ha<br />Keep on your path. You are doing wonderful literary works. Belvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402558570483074059noreply@blogger.com
