"Use All The Crayons!" ..... Family
The “Use All The Crayons!” podcast is up and running and I immodestly think it may be a hit. It already is with the small but feisty group of listeners. They love it. Please do check it out and if you find it worthy share with friends.
Who am I kidding? You don’t have to even like it. Just tell folks you do
I’m still demeaningly trying to raise funds to help the podcast achieve liftoff.
Thanks — many thanks; heap, big thanks — to those who’ve reached down and come up with funds to assist me. I now know who’s begin naughty and nice and I’m grateful to those who read, but to those who Stripe deposit $50 of as much as $500 get special mention when I say my prayers around here.
So … Thanks to DaveMo, KirkOa, ClarkKe, BobbeKa, JeffPa, StanSt
Who’ll earn mention next week? There’s won’t be a better time — til next week!
Merry Christmas one and all!
Today’s theme is … FAMILY
• Optimists understand phrase "familiarity breeds contempt" is not absolute. Often is the case that familiarity breeds family.
• Mother Teresa came from a large family with three sisters, all of whom had large families themselves.
Q: Did her nieces/nephews call her Aunt Mother Teresa? Aunt Teresa?
• You shouldn't be allowed to demand U.S. impose order around the globe until you can prove you can impose order on your own family.
• Had a great family OBX vacation marred only by one incident initiated when kids asked if they could bury me in sand. Sure, I said. I'm game. But when they had me completely immobilized, the little bastards stole my shoes & wallet. I should've known better. They weren't my kids.
• Daughter, 16, said she wants to have a big family. What she means is she wants to choose who's in her family.
• Told daughter, 9, "I love you. I'll love you forever." Said she feels that way sometimes. I told her she's grounded till she learns the value of lying within family dynamic.
Random …
• I have to think it depresses shoe factory morale that maybe a quarter of the employees report to a department under a sign that reads “HEELS.”
• Bible says our bodies are temples. On Friday nights, mine is more like a honky tonk. Some beer's been spilled, some of the furniture is busted & it smells kinda funny. But the folks are friendly, the peanuts are free and the good music never ends.
• I’ve back-burnered so many important projects my fears are the stove will soon catch fire and I'll be unable to recognize the blaze as a priority before it consumes the whole building.
• Weed” is today a $55 billion business. "Weed" is cultivated, sheltered, nurtured and cared for more lovingly than some rare orchids. My point: Nothing about "weed" suggests weed so let's all stop calling "weed" weed.
• It flips language logic on its head, but being self-employed ain't working for me.
• How did the phrase "pigeon hole" ever evolve into such common usage when I know of not one person who can affirm they are familiar with even one pigeon's hole?
