Love Gone By.

I overheard a conversation among a few elderly women. One regretted not staying with a young man she dated in her earlier years and instead married someone else. The other women agreed and started talking about their romantic choices and life's partners. Finally one woman sighed and said, "Well they are all passed away now." Then another reflected, "Yes. We could have been collecting their pensions." It seems the men they married were still living. Such is love.

Nothing to do but wait.

My daughter is a High School teacher and it was the end of the school day. She passed an empty classroom and heard a crash like sound in the same room. She opened the door to find some students helping themselves to various items in this computer room. The got away so she immediately notified security and the principal. Not long after the students were identified and apprehended as they were waiting to board the school bus to take them home. All items were found and returned to the school. Since then all students now have a shorter wait for the buses at the end of a school day. You gotta love teenagers and the way they almost use their thinking abilities.

Keyboored

I am having trouble with my desktop keyboard. I have been going through a lot of keyboards lately. In fact I have bought 3 in the last 6 months. Putting the right pressure on the keys seem to be the problem. Too much pressure and I get nothing or a row of letters like eeeeeeeeeeeeee. To little and I get nothing.

My notebook and netbook does not seem to have this problem. My new desktop keyboard had a small disc in it to install the keyboard. My desktop has the CD/DVD player on the side. So the disc is inserted standing up. Yep. The disk fell out of the player and is now inside my computer. I opened up my computer and the disc is stuck underneath the player which I cannot seem to get at because the manufacturer welded the player instead of securing it with screws.

Any ideas on how to fix this without spending over $100, computer repair estimate, to just get the disc unstuck?

If not that is OK. I feel better just writing about it. So thanks for just reading.

Missed opportunity.

I wanted to have a leap year blog. That would mean I would say something every four years instead of my weekly, well sorta weekly thing. I don't have a lot of fans like the show "Sons of Anarchy." So I decided to just write what I write. Hopefully once in awhile I get a reader and a smile. In order to get that the more I try the better the odds that will happen. Plus a special thanks to the few visitors that visited. If I never got to say thanks that would be a missed opportunity which also made me smile.

Global Warming and Me.

I like global warming. I am getting older and snow shoveling for me just is not that much fun any more. The location where I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania USA, had very little snow this year. Unfortunately activities that need snow like sledding and skiing have suffered. This is bad especially for people that like to get out and enjoy winter. So instead of snow balls I have been getting hit by a lot of rocks this year. The neighborhood kids just have to throw something.

And so the wheel turns.

Sometimes in life the wheel turns. The trick is that one must not get run over by it. There is this older gentleman I have observed. He was not a happy man. He did not like people because they annoyed him. He would yell at them and make angry faces and gestures when they were around him. In church he would not let people sit near him in the same pew. Then the wheel somehow turned. Now he has a wife. Impossible and a shock when I found out. He does not yell at people anymore or make life miserable for them. I did notice his wife reprimand him a few times or constantly it seems. Quite the change in him. He seems humbled. I did notice a slight smile on his face when he looks at her. Happy Valentines Day.

Buggy

One hour before the Super Bowl game. I was thinking about the fact that I was witness to the first Super Bowl game. So again I was looking forward to this exciting time in my life. The Super Bowl Party. I was in work and getting very anxious for my shift to end. Then it happened. I was quarantined. A patient came into the hospital that had bed bugs and other critters that were jumping off and taking a tour of the area I was working in. After taking a shower, washing clothes and spraying I was able to get home but not able to go to the party. There was concern that some of these tiny creatures were football fans and might decide to visit my friends house. I did try to watch the game but I became uneasy and cleaned my car and home just in case I had little friends hiding in my work clothes. After 24 hours the hospital called and cleared me. The area I worked in was cleansed and deemed safe for visitors again. They believed the bugs did not occupy my area after all. Although some were caught in other areas and dispatched to buggy heaven. Life can be very unpredictible when the moon is full on Super Bowl Sunday.

Remember

My blog seems out of date. UTube seems to be the new thing on the Internet. As I think about it. I have been outdated a long long time. That is ok. I talk to my self at home a lot so blogging to my self just seems like the normal thing to do. I remember going to the Post Office and mailing letters I had written to my friends before computers. That was fun. The best thing about computers is emails. I am in touch with many more people becaue of the Internet. Especially spammers and junk emails that fills up my inbox. This is nothing new. I just needed something to blog about because this is the time of year nothing much is happening. No wonder young people drink a lot on Spring Break. These are tough months. Have a hug.

End of the World Resolutions.

Forget the New Year resolutions. This is the year for End of the World resolutions. You have until December. I have an idea people will break up and some will end up more in love. Then there is the, "What happens if I break a resolution?" If you keep it or not the end result is total annilation anyway. I'll just keep up what I am doing. I like my life but am aware it will someday end anyway. Hey! I know lets get some ice cream while we got the time.

Hanging Around.

Today was picture hanging day in work. First time I saw a digital picture frame. A series of pictures flash by making a little art movie on the wall. The one in work is good bcause it shows off our Ronald McDonald Guest House so the pictures are not boring even though repetitive. Progress in home decoration welcome to 2012.

New Shows

Forget the new shows on TV. Forget the new Movies coming out in 2012. Remember the everyday lifetime eposides experienced as you go on with your day. Like the little boy in church that opened his church book. Placed it with the page he needed to be ready for church. Then notice the old Usher going around fixing up the church and putting away the stray books laying around. Watch the Usher as he takes the little boys book off the bench, closes it and puts it back in its proper place. Capture the moment by watching the reaction on the little boys face as this scene unfolds. Then notice the little boy sigh and redo his preperation for the service after the Usher has gone on to another church chore. Or just notice somthing that will enhance your own lifetime observances.

Cancelled

NASA decided the world would continue after 2012. Plus it is a leap year and we have an extra day this year anyway in case NASA is wrong and the world does end. New Years always have me reflecting on all the people that made an impact on my live. Which I did yesterday so there is not much I need to do on that. I am thinking of dropping my questions I ask in my blog this year. What do you think? Should I continue to ask them or not?

Christmas emails.

I love sending cards and stuff thru the email. I also found a way to buy stuff and have it shipped to the proper address. There is a drawback. I sent my Grandgal an email present. A subscription for eBooks since she got an eBook Reader. She thought it was an advertisement and deleted it. Do you save your emails? I do and it helps during peak delete mistake times.

Whew!

The cards are sent, gifts are bought drinks have been drunk and friends are toasted. Next candles will be lit, Church will be attended and friends and family that passed will be remembered. Will you be remembered for the Holidays? You bet I will. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy Birthday.

Christmas Child

Exactly four years ago on this date my daughter lost a little girl during childbirth. Today she had a little 7 lb baby girl with a brown mowhawk strip of hair. My daughter saw her for the first time and swore the baby said, "Hey mom. It took awhile and I finally made it." Yes! August Elizabeth is finally here. Merry Christmas. How goes your Holiday

It's beginning to look a lot like........

I remember what Christmas once looked and felt like. It was friendly, loving, warm and a season of Joy and Peace. I do not remember Horror movies or Alien movies. Just Lassie rescuing Timmy from the well and everyone being near a warm fireplace, singing, Christmas trees and Holiday smells. I still try to keep that in my heart. What is in your Christmas Holiday Heart?

Why I was born.

I was watching some children playing where I volunteer and remembered how my older sister, by 2 years, was when I was home with her. She wanted to play a game and I did not. Finally she informed me that I was born so she would have someone to play games with. If I did not believe her I was to ask our mom. My sister never lied so I played the games with her any time she told me. She passed from an illness when she was 21 and looking back on it now I am happy I did what she wanted. Although honest I did suspect she took advantage of me being younger. That is ok I forgive her. I was not so forgiving when we played house and she made me eat a mud pie. She insisted it took her all day to make it so how could I refuse. Were you born to be a playmate?

Sometimes hero's fall.

If you have not heard about the Penn State scandle in which children were being abused, then you are having a good day. Have you ever had someone you considered a hero come into a devistating negative light? The world tends to turn upside down and explode in some cases. Yes. I think there are real hero's still out there. Unfortunately they are harder to find and stand as hero's once did.

A little Bear

There was a little baby born in the Hospital I volunteer at. The baby was a 2 pound early one. I guess the stork was in a hurry to drop this one off. Dispite all odds it has been close to two weeks and and the baby is making a little progress daily. A generous person donates stuffed toys for us to give out. I asked the father if he wanted one and we found a nice white Teddy Bear. The mother came in and saw the bear and had tears in her eyes. She was very touched by this kindness. Have you gotten a little kindness today? I hope you have.
