Having a nostalgic moment

I just got off the phone with a friend I've known since high school and got to talking about her grandkids.  Seeing them grow up with things we didn't have, like technology.  I wish these kids and young folks today knew how easy things are for them now.  We didn't have Google.  We called it a library.  Google Maps in my childhood in the 70's/80's?  We had these huge 10 by 20 books.  You could get it for a specific state, or the whole US!  Cell phones???   PPFFFFTTTT.....I got in trouble for tying up the line and not answering the call waiting....

In a way we've come a long way, but then again, not.  Alot has changed in the last 10 years.  Hell, alot has changed since COVID.  But as I get older I have to make sure I know the best way way to navigate.  AI is a thing now, so maybe I can just write the script to navigate for me 😬

Goodbye 2023

I feel obligated to make a goodbye post seeing as I haven't created one in 15 years. My how time has a way of running away from us. If that isn't a hidden lesson in my life I don't know what is. 

 This year I can say has been unkind to me in many ways. My medical status has had a major impact on everything else, causing me to step back from my real estate business and try to get a handle on things. I've realized that without the right doctors, it'll be an uphill battle forever. In some cases the doctors may not even matter! My eyesight, or lack thereof, bothers me the most. But I'm learning to try and enjoy what I do still have, and be grateful for it. I can say that I've acquired different tools in my life to be a better version of myself. It's never too late to create a better version of yourself, no matter how old you are. Self-care is so vitally important, and it is the most important thing I think I've learned about myself, and it is priority #1. With everything I've been thru, my mental health has been absolutely TRASHED over the last couple of years. I will politely leave all of that here, and step into something better. 

 Happy New Year

Goodbye 2008

and good riddance!! This year was a struggle at best. the one job I had didnt work out because of the terrible job market, I moved twice and the family isn't close like it should be, or at least like I want it. While I still wish for things in life, I'm blessed to have what I have. I realize it could be much worse for me. In my alone time, i spend it reading and praying. I'm far from being a bible thumper by miles, but keeping faith has certainly helped me thru some very trying times over the last year and a half.

My family really isnt close like we used to be. It's just so divided now, and it bothers me more than I thought it would. There's so many ways we can just come together on Sunday like we used to, if for nothing else just to hang out. Half of the family likes to go fishing, we'd always go bowling. Somebody has to step in and try to bring unity back to the family, I want to step up to the plate. I certainly have my work cut out for me.

Lastly, I'm still working on self. Some things I promised in years past still havent started, or at least started but not progressed. I have more to gain than to lose, and instead of waiting for the traditional "resolution" I've starting on some things long before now. If i don't stay with it, my health could be in real jeopardy....

I'm looking forward to 2009 for alot of reasons. I'm setting some new goals and the game plans are ready. I'm only looking up now.

Attorney: Wal-Mart Collected On Deaths

Attorney: Wal-Mart Collected On Deaths

For this, walmart should burn in hell for all eternity. In the store I worked in, three associates died in the last year. I know for a fact all three of them were on the walmart health insurance, and I'm willing to bet my bank account they "insured" them. I've been anti-Walmart for a few months (meaning i shop there maybe once a month), I dont think I could go in there now without having a nasty attitude in the future.
