A Seeing Eye Dog?

Phil and Slim, not very religious men, are walking their dog by a church on Sunday morning.

Phil says, “lets go in. I hear they have a great pot luck after church Sunday.”

Slim says, “they will never let us in with the dogs.. “

“Just follow my lead,” says Phil..

Phil goes into the church. The pastor says, “no dogs are allowed.” Phil says, “it’s my seeing eye dog!” The pastor says, “ok, go ahead.”

Slim follows. Again the pastor says, “no dogs are allowed.” Slim says, “it’s my seeing eye dog!” The pastor asks Slim, “this is your seeing eye dog? A Chihuahua!” Slim looks startled and says, “is that what they gave me?

LOL It always pays to be quick on the draw! Have an awesome last weekend in April!

Can I be silly for a minute?

I caught this interview yesterday, because I’ve come to really love the whole Avengers movies that have come out in recent years. I’m married to, and the mother of, comic book heroes fans, and it’s just natural that eventually the love would flow to me as well. I became a big Iron Man fan, thanks to Robert Downer Jr’s portrayal of that character, until I saw Captain America. Cap totally won me with the line, “There’s only one God ma’am, and I’m pretty sure He doesn’t dress like that,” from the first Avengers movie. Now I’m a Cap girl, all the way.

So the next Avengers movie is coming out in a few days and there are interviews with the stars all over the place, promoting the movie, which looks like it’s going to be epic, by the way. I caught this one with Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans, and just cracked up. Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans criticized for ‘sexist’ comments

Today I see that a bunch of people have their undies in a bunch over the cracks they made in the interview. I nearly broke my eyeballs from rolling them so hard. I’ve heard a lot of women say worse things about men after they’ve been dumped – real women talking about real men, not fictional characters. I think our society may have lost its sense of humor. So I tweeted #BlackWidow loves #TheHulk because #SizeMatters. Winking smile

Think anyone will get the joke?

hAPPy Monday

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, isn’t it? Man, that makes me miss Mr Rogers, big time. It’s chilly and rainy here, but that’s okay – God’s watering the garden. Or, as a lady I once knew called rain, it’s a liquid sunshine day. Smile

I’m still playing with task-oriented apps. My latest is one called Wunderlist.

Wunderlist | To-do list, Reminders, Errands – App of the Year!

What I like about it is that it’s a fast, clean app. There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles to weigh it down and make it slow to start. Since all it does is lists, there isn’t a whole lot of other stuff to get in the way.

I decided to consolidate all the lists I had amongst other apps I’ve tried out, and realized I have one really big to-do list. *sigh* And here I was hoping I’d have a lot of duplicates. But no!

So far, I like that it’s fast and simple. I like that I can add “partners-in-crime” as it were, like my kids or my husband, if there are things I’d like them to address. I like that there are reminders I can utilize. I like that it comes in a lot of different flavors – Android, Apple, Windows, Web, even Kindle Fire. So even if I had friends who used, say, an iPhone, I could share a list with them without any extra hoops to jump through.

Yes, Evernote has many of these features, too. And I’m playing with them. I haven’t decided yet if I want all my day to day tasks in the same place as my notes and bookmarks. At the moment, Wunderlist is easier to navigate because I have fewer lists there than I do notebooks in Evernote.

I also really like Google Keep for many of the same reasons I like Wunderlist, but lately it’s been giving me fits when I try to open it from a link on my desktop, and it’s been difficult to load in Chrome, as well. Not sure if it’s in an update process or what, but it bugs me. Besides, it’s nice to have back-ups and alternatives. Smile

Do you have a favorite task app that makes your life easier? If you do, please share what it is!
