I read so many self help books in my life that I read out, probably a better word for that; some were betters than others, some i might have learned a little from. But none of them had "the answers", they might have the authors answers, but if you didn't have the same experiences as the author you could only learn what you were ready to learn. One of my first books i read in my young twenties was the Art of Loving by Eric Fromm. I struggled with that one a bit, but at least some of it appealed to me and made sense. I believe my Holy grail was something i hadn't know in my younger years, Love. Another self help book I recall i read later on but i don't recall the author was "Love Is All that's Real." That was a much easier read for me at that time, and i had a much better understanding of what the author was saying. At one point i was tired of reading them, maybe i realized i wasn't going to get my answers from a book, you learn love by loving...i thought so anyway...still i hope there's a light...a transformation from awareness. I haven't found my grail yet...Just to Love and be Loved in Return.

Oprah lost 40 pounds... again. I was in college and recall Oprah coming back from hiatus. The first show of the new season had her wheeling out a toy wagon with a big chunk of blubber on it to represent the weight loss she had in the off season.
That was in the 1970's and considered a really big thing. They didn't talk much about her dietitians and fitness team working her thighs 10 hours a day, forcing her to do what she couldn't do alone.
So here is is some 50 years later and it's become a top story that Oprah lost 40 pounds. Again... and her fans react: ‘I Can’t Get Over How Amazing She Looks’

I can't get over how she blimped and lost, blimped and lost, blimped and lost at least 10 times in those 50 years.
Obviously, she hasn't learned the secret of losing and keeping it off.




"...her slender frame"

I'm enjoying the freedom of not having a job, but my list of accomplishments seems to have fallen off the face of the earth! Quote me on this: "I'm getting less done being retired than when I was working a 50 hour a week job."

Probably 10 months ago when carrying a printer up the stairs one night, I caught the paper tray on the handrail and a screw popped out from under the machine. I've got the screw but have no idea where it actually came from. The print quality was horrible and I professed many times I'd replace the machine. Office Depot was running a sale on the newer model and offered $50 for a trade-in of any old printer. I got lucky... this one is wireless network ready so I can put the printer anywhere and use it with any computer, tablet or cellphone on my network. Is this one of my biggest accomplishments of 2020? Hmmm...

Okay, working on home renovation was a real struggle. My mother had a saying "That will take a month of Sundays to do" in that, if you could only work on something Sunday and you worked at it for 30 weeks to finish... she was right. If everything follows course that episode (sale of a house) will be over within a month. I've got tools and 40 years of memories in storage unresolved until the pandemic dissipates.

My accountant started my taxes in January and I dragged my feet so she filed extensions for me. She sent over the drafts for review 2 weeks ago and this past weekend I did the review. The final final tax papers and quarterly reports arrived this morning for me to sign. Just before the deadline for the quarterly report. An accomplishment I'm not proud of.

I was working on a large remodeling project that got shelved. The client called to make some adjustments and the boss is happy we didn't lose the sale. I'll probably take that to the next step in a week or so.

Note to self:
You actually have the time now to do what's on your mental and written list.
Need I remind you more?

Some of you are cooped up at home, unable to roam the streets,
like you 'normally' do.

Sure, some make fun of the ineptness of the president.
But, the truth is, that it isn't easy to talk like Trump.
Most people simply can't predict how he will say words.
Now you can guess how he might say words and practice at home.

Introduced by Jimmy Fallon;

Is like you being drunk as a skunk and me waking you up when you just fell asleep an hour ago. Hungover and angry as hell.

True love is like the both of us in the middle of The Sea and I throw you overboard well away from the boat, forcing you to swim back to it not even helping you to get back into the boat.
REAL love is like dipping your head under the sea, while you're still trying to get back on the boat

True love is like throwing you into The FIRE and watching you burn, with a bucket of water right next to me, instead, I stand and just watch.

True love is like severing you in half with THE GREATEST SWORD and watching as your body goes cold, disregarding it as if it was actually dirt.

Interpret, and decipher its meaning.

Explaanation:
You being a drunk is being drunk on this world because you know nothing else, and the only way for you to sober up is me giving part of my life essence from the very heart and most deepest part of my soul. But it also allows you on the first step to the nine gates of Heaven. So Father to All gives you permission on that step, because of My Life essence within you. (Life Essence of Heaven)

The middle of the Sea is the Sea of Heaven, The Holy Waters, and when you drink from The Sea, you will not drown and die you will live forever. But the natural reaction of any human being is to hold their breathe in the sea. And to not drink of THE Holy Water is the greatest insult you could make EVER, in which you would be thrown into the dark. So I keep your head under until you drink from Him.

The Great Wall of Fire will burn out every single sin in you, f*ck yea its gonna hurt, but at least you will live to tell the tale unlike many many others who will not, because of My Life Essence within you.

And if you havent figured out the last part yet of my riddle. that sword is My Life essence within you. severing the beast from the spirit after your awakening. (drinking from the sea).

I made a sales call to a customer who admits being a hoarder. I shook my head and said I understand. Wanting to know my story, she asked and I said it was more of collecting than hoarding. My shed was filled with years of hand drawings for kitchens and furniture, family photos, memorabilia and things I was holding for friends and family who didn't return to claim them.

80% is gone now and it's hard to unload the rest.
Tools? Sure I've got 3 jigsaws. I'll keep the best one and unload the others. I don't need a machete anymore or do I... No plans to go postal so I'll gift it to someone at work.

Strangely, my brother asked today about the wall plaque my father received when he was in the Navy aboard the battleship USS Missouri where the Empire of Japan signed a surrender which ended World War II. Yeah, I replied. I had it in my hand yesterday and don't know what to do with it. I'm glad he said it's okay to mail to him along with other family memorabilia.

No room, no time for it.

My neighbor is nice enough to hold a dozen plastic storage bins of mine and I'm trying to take 2 every visit. It's a holiday weekend and that could be four that get moved. I have many things to unload and will probably do some local Craig's list or offer up.
2 used jigsaws... make offer!

A friendly reminder for everyone:

"When you're tired, get some rest. When you're sad, go ahead and cry. It's okay to take a break. Then one day there will surely come a day when you'll be able to run again." ?

...again and a gain, in a public venue, while I'm trying to work on writing and Portuguese. One of my pet peeves, for which I've had more than one NY's resolution. And I'm actually making progress. Using ear buds, self trance, etc. But am I the only such intolerant huperson in God's lovely creation? I know one thing,.whenever I had a meeting with such a lady, who might have otherwise been a decent match, ---first and last meeting. No doubt. H E L P !

I wonder if they have one on circular reasoning.
