Today a lot better

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Things are a lot better today.

I still think I have a short, but Josh is putting in my re-charged battery as we speak, he also says he will check some things that might determine if I have a short or not.

It’s got to be remedied, like so many things in life.

Still somewhat tired, but it’s probably just from the stress of everyday living.

That being said, I will go and start my supper.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

What’ll We Do With Millenials? REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From January 16, 2017Image result for images of useless college students

We have a gigantic social problem looming over our country.

What are we to do with millenials?

Recent college graduates, tens of thousands of them, with their whole lives yet to live–can’t hold jobs, can’t tolerate even the most trivial adversity, saturated with an ideology that is opposed to everything America stands for, unable to relate to people as individuals but only as representatives of this or that group, guaranteed and certified 100% useless–what in the world are we supposed to do with them?

Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy the company of teens and tweens, provided they haven’t been turned upside-down and inside-out by our culture and our schools. I wish I had more of you guys visiting this blog, to pep it up a little.

No, I’m talking about young people with degrees in Gender Studies and Social Justice, burdened by a load of student debt, who go stampeding for the Play-Doh and the Safe Space at the first little hitch in life that comes along, who want a participation trophy just for breathing. You can’t talk to them without triggering a trauma. And if you can imagine them trying to bring up children of their own, you have a more vivid imagination than I do.

So what are we supposed to do with them? They won’t be able to support themselves. Imagine hiring Joe Collidge to do anything more complex than sweep the floor.

I wish I knew the answer to that question.

Missing Miami Gardens canine officer found and safe

It looks like that dog got the zoomies while on duty.  Glad the officer is safe now.

This is a little long, but very moving.

I don’t follow football, professional or college, but I found this very moving.  I had not known of this tradition.

About yesterday

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Yesterday, I had to nip out to the store early in the morning.   I went out in the pouring rain (did you know that mosquitoes can bite in the rain?) and the car would not start.  The battery is new and supposedly still under warranty.  I was so deflated, disgusted whatever you want to call it that I did something I never do.  I laid on the sofa all day, slept off and on and did nothing but scratch my mosquito bites.  Zero wind in my sails.  My neighbor is working full time right now, so he is busy on the weekends. I left him a voice mail.  I don’t think I’ve ever been so very out of gas (emotionally) in my life.  It was just one more thing.  I can’t seem to fix one problem before I get hit with another.  Josh (my neighbor) and I got together around 3.  He took me to the store, then started to work on the battery.  He’s taking it back for a replacement, and I really believe there is some kind of short in my electrical system, which I suspected a long time ago.  That, too will have to be fixed.

Hopefully, today will be better.

This is one faithful friend.  I wouldn’t let my cat outside, personally.

In Christ Alone

Finally!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Today I finally overcame the terminal inertia that’s been plaguing me for awhile and I started on the bedroom.  I should be able to wrap up the essentials tomorrow.  Not everything that has to be done up there, but the most important stuff.

Had a very difficult time finding content today.  I have noticed that some of the animal sites (the reliable ones) do repeat their content and I don’t notice it until I am into the video.  It consumes a lot of time.

I also have to contact Jill at Chalcedon on Monday to find a way of getting the reprints of Lee’s articles to generate an e mail like the others.  Very often when I put a reprint on, it will get zero views because people are not informed of it being there.  One of the main purposes of me doing this was to get Lee’s work out there.  If people are not aware of it, they won’t find it.  There’s got to be a workaround–I’ve got to ask.

Aside from that–a pretty good day all in all.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

PS  For what it’s worth, I posted a reprint of Byron the quokka’s TV listings this morning at 8 o clock and it has gotten zero views.  I think folks are just not seeing it.  Hope to fix that on Monday.
