You go at your own pace and do the right thing. You always honor what’s important.

You are grounded and focused. You bring stability to other people’s lives.

You are mindful and deliberate. You allow yourself the time to think through every option.

No, I don’t rush.  I hate rushing.  It totally stresses me out, I’ve learned.

Spring Fever

Four high school boys afflicted with spring fever skipped morning classes. After lunch they reported to the teacher that they had a flat tire.

Much to their relief she smiled and said, “Well, you missed a test today so take seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper.”

Still smiling, she waited for them to sit down. Then she said: “First Question: Which tire was flat?”

Rut-roh Shaggy!  They got caught!

Thankful

It’s hard when people you love are going through a difficult time. And this isn’t about me, but I’m fair to bursting with relief and gratitude.

My very dear friend (30+ years dear) was diagnosed earlier this year with Stage 4 stomach cancer, and given 6-12 mos life expectancy. She has been going through chemo, and still has about 3 mos to go, but today her doctor called her with some results.

The biopsies are negative. The chemo is working.

Good news is really nice. 🙂 xoxox ❤

A Seashell Test

You Are Well Rounded

It’s hard for you to stay focused in your life. There’s just so much to be excited about.

You never get too obsessed with anything. You just don’t have it in you to be a workaholic.

You don’t seek balance – balance just seems to find you. You can let go and relax.

Normal life is pretty amazing to you. You are content with where you are.

 

This is one of the results from the quiz, A Seashell Test

*****

It’s true that it’s hard for me to stay focused – so many sparkly thing!  However, I think I probably do get obsessed about things.  (stop me before I collect another notebook!)

Balance is over-rated.

The Interview

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “And what starting salary are you looking for?”

The engineer replies, “In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”

The interviewer inquires, “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?”

The engineer sits up straight and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?”

The interviewer replies, “Yeah, but you started it.”

Hahaha, I’m pretty sure I dated that kid back in the day! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Alexa, Siri, and Google, oh my

Not sure why, but this kind of made me chuckle today.  🙂

Alexa Is the Dumbest Smart Assistant After Siri and Google | Digital Trends

The venture capital firm recently asked Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and Google Assistant the same 800 questions. Google Assistant was the most successful of the bunch and was able to answer 93% of the questions correctly. In comparison, Siri was only able to get 83% of the questions right, and Alexa got 80%. Samsung’s Bixby and Microsoft’s Cortana, both lesser-used voice assistants, didn’t even make the cut. Alexa Is the Dumbest Smart Assistant After Siri and Google | Digital Trends

Country Club

A Catholic priest , a doctor, a rich businessman and an Italian Guy from New Jersey were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers in front of them.

The  Italian Guy  fumed, ‘What’s with those guys? We’re waiting fifteen minutes between shots!’

The doctor chimed in, ‘I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such poor golf!’

The rich businessman called out, ‘Move it, time is money!’

The Catholic priest said, ‘Here comes the greens keeper. Let’s have a word with him. Excuse me, sir!’ said the priest, ‘What’s wrong with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?’

The greens keeper replied, ‘Oh, yes. That’s a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.’

The group fell silent for a moment.

The Catholic priest said, ‘That’s so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.’

The doctor said, ‘Good idea. I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there’s anything that he might be able to do for them.’

The rich businessman replied, ‘I think I’ll donate $50,000 to the fire fighters union in honor of these brave souls!’

The Italian guy from  Hurley said, ‘Why can’t they play at night?

You know, it’s tough to argue with that logic!  lol

Which Ocean Are You?

You Are the Atlantic Ocean

You are down to earth and very practical. You are quite content with the way the world is.
You value tradition and old fashioned ways of doing things. You try to slow down and appreciate your life.

You are quite serious, and you see the ocean as more of a thing of reflection and deep beauty.
You love the quiet of a crisp day at the beach. You love the idea of being by the sea, alone with your thoughts.

This is one of the results from the quiz, Which Ocean Are You?

I thought it was interesting how this got me so spot on, yet I was born and raised near the Pacific and I thought I would have gotten that result.  Things that make you go, “Hmm!”  😀

Saying goodnight to mother…………

We were dressed, and ready to go out for the New Year’s Eve Party.  We turned on a night light, switched the answering machine on, covered our pet parakeet, and put the cat in the backyard. We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house.

As we walked out the door, the cat we had put out in the yard, scooted back into the house.  We didn’t want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird.

My wife went out to the taxi, while I went back inside to get the cat.  The cat ran upstairs, with me in hot pursuit.  Waiting in the cab, my wife didn’t want the driver to know that the house would be empty for the night.  So, she explained to the taxi driver that I would be out soon, “He’s just gone upstairs to say Goodbye to my mother.”

A few minutes later, I got into the cab. “Sorry I took so long,” I said, as we drove away. “The stupid thing was hiding under the bed.  I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked! I hauled her downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!”

The cab driver hit a parked car.

You are a visionary. You have big ideas for the future.

There’s no doubt I like to put my spin on things!  lol  Also true is that I work best alone and at my own pace.  It’s an introvert thing.  😀
