Good morning INP!
Per your other post (too lazy to find it lol)
Well... it is afternoon now, but it was late morning when I wrote 'morning'. However, if I am to adapt to what time it is locally when anyone, or everyone, reads my posts, then I have to use another tack than to say 'morning' to them.
I am doing better than last weekend. But at least we are still on the top side of the grass!Orm wrote: Thu May 04, 2023 2:02 pmWell... it is afternoon now, but it was late morning when I wrote 'morning'.

Hey. How are you doing.
One could, but I would not, because then I would be lying. I do not consider today a good day. I consider it a lousy day. However, with that said, I do wish that you have a very nice day.
There is always snow somewhere out there.RangerJoe wrote: Thu May 04, 2023 2:50 pm
But I can still see snow some places, especially if I look online. But I am thinking of making cinnamon rolls tomorrow. That should definitely bring up my blood sugar!
I understand what you say about the world not getting better, but I temper that impression by knowing that news organizations gather all the bad news to make their reports and leave out the good stuff. No matter what, life will try to beat us down physically and mentally but we owe it to those who live on after us to keep up the good fight to the end. The world will be a bit better for that than if we give up in exasperation.Orm wrote: Thu May 04, 2023 3:35 pm Warmer weather coming in now, so it would be a major setback with more snow. However, high up in the mountains there is always snow. Although, I am not sure if they call that snow.
I once walked on hard packed snow in early august. And not really that high up in the mountains either.
And it is not that I personally have an lousy day. I think any day that the world doesn't get to become a better place is a wasted day. And a wasted day is not a good day.

That is same as it ever was. Negative events gets more attention from news organizations, so that has not changed.RangerJoe wrote: Fri May 05, 2023 1:26 am+1BBfanboy wrote: Fri May 05, 2023 12:02 amI understand what you say about the world not getting better, but I temper that impression by knowing that news organizations gather all the bad news to make their reports and leave out the good stuff.

The bad news makes more money than the good news.
That is a pretty low standard. I have yet to meet you, but I am pretty sure that I could literally jump over you. And I am a grumpy, old, overweight, geezer, in lousy condition.RangerJoe wrote: Fri May 05, 2023 1:26 am That lovely 21 year old could jump over me anytime - I mean, literally jump over me!
My error, I should have stated while I was standing up that she could jump over me. Since I am not even 2 meters tall and she can jump higher than that, she could jump over me. That would be a nice sight for me to see!Orm wrote: Fri May 05, 2023 6:43 amThat is a pretty low standard. I have yet to meet you, but I am pretty sure that I could literally jump over you.

I used to listen to my favorite music/ news station from Boston. But I also don't listen to anything broadcast news anymore. They have to sensationalize everything....GPZovs wrote: Fri May 05, 2023 10:13 am Good morning folks.
My solution to negative media news stuff on TV is to not watch it. I just read stuff online, and make my own informed opinion on things. Since I stopped watching TV news I have been more relaxed, less stressed and less worried about things. I also don't listen to radio or podcast talk shows anymore, its all stuff to get your emotions worked up and to make people feel and react a certain way, which in turn causes people to act in negative ways. That can all be changed by not watching the Programmed Tell A Vision stuff, and reading and thinking for your self and treating folks with respect, kindness, dignity and love.
Made my life a whole lot better, your mileage may vary (YMMV).
I too am a grumpy old son of a b...h. The editor got me. Keep it clean....GPOrm wrote: Fri May 05, 2023 6:43 amThat is a pretty low standard.
