It’s kinda I clicked on the pronounciator (okay, not a word, but it led me to this site when I googled it - https://www.pronunciator.com/ - it even has an app) before reading the pronunciation key, which let me know I pronounced the word incorrectly. pronounciator, pronunciation, pronounced: I’m sensing a bit of repetition here... 3 1

I might be too literal, but I like to test things in my own reality for viability. Silence is a precious commodity in a life filled with others, such as spouses, kids, parents, workmates, roommates, even interacting with the public on the metro, (whether you wanted to or not). ~chuckle~ The counselor I had leading up to the divorce was in constant awe of how little opportunity I had for silence or meditation, despite repeated attempts on my part. I need meditation, even more so because the responsibilities of my life leave me little time or quiet for it. I'm learning that I can't wait for silence. I have to find a stillness within myself that allows me to push out the distractions, the noise of others, or even the business of my own mind. I still feel like this is very true, @Mikiesboy. I'm just still learning to make my own silence through stillness in the moment. I also feel like when silence does stubble into my path occasionally; I'll see it for the precious gift that it is and take advantage of it. ~chuckle~ ~ Ms. V Edited February 11, 2019 by Y0rite 4 3
Popular Post Backwoods Boy Posted February 11, 2019 Popular Post Posted February 11, 2019 Phase two of Snowmageddon is underway. As advertised, the first phase (Saturday) only produced four inches. It's been snowing hard for several hours now. With the temperature hovering just above freezing, it's hard to tell how much will hang around, but it's supposed to keep this up through tomorrow with up to a foot and a half. Up higher, the forecast is for multiple feet of snow over the next few days. I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere. 2 5

Snowmaggedon arrives here tomorrow, though, hopefully, not on the scale you’ve been experiencing BB. Today is clear, sunny, and not too cold. Wish that weather would continue. Time for coffee, so see you laterz DiCers... 7

I was supposed to be vacationing in southern New Mexico this coming week, but things got canceled by my family on the other end. Now I'm stuck in town for Valentine's and no plans. ~Ugh As for Twitter, I would need like 4 or 5 accounts to keep all my feeds topical or by genre. LOL ~ Ms. V 4

Popular Post Hunter Thomson Posted February 11, 2019 Popular Post Posted February 11, 2019 I have angered the birthday gods. Snowmaggedon, but not enough snow to cancel school. Just enough to make the commute hell, but I got called in for my birthday and the kids were not having it today. My work technology hates me and no one is helping. Whatever I did birthday gods, I'm sorry! So glad to be home and to be welcomed with so many kind birthday wishes from all of you 2 4

So glad to be home and to be welcomed with so many kind birthday wishes from all of you Glad we could brighten your day, Hunter. Edit: Speaking of not so nice birthday days, before I moved to the city, I got home to my train station to find my car tires frozen into a layer of icy snow. The only thing I had on hand to break them free was my windshield ice scraper. I broke said scraper chiselling my tires out of the snow’s frozen grip, which pissed me off because it was a really nice one I got from Canadian Tire. Needless to say, my planned birthday dinner at The Mandarin (Chinese Food) didn’t happen, because the weather was awful, so I was just happy to get home that night.

It's the only way I've ever appeased the birthday gods. (Also, happy b-day to you, happy b-day to you, happy b-day dear Hunter, happyyy b-day 2oooo Uuuuoooo!) 1 2
