Extra special & save time...
The holiday season–glittering lights, colorful packages, good cheer… stress (and lots of it!). Some people can’t wait for all the activity and excitement of the holidays; others are overwhelmed just by the thought of all that activity and excitement – to say nothing about the real deal! And lots of people fall somewhere in between. The holidays are lots of fun, but did you know that the Christmas season is considered to be one of the most stressful times of year?
Besides the strain on time, with holiday parties, school programs, and necessary shopping, money worries tend to creep into people’s thoughts. Fitting holiday spending into a budget takes some planning. These simple tips can help:
- Start by making a list of gifts you need to buy. Don’t forget coworkers and teachers.
- Set an amount to spend on each person.
- Start shopping early.
- Do plan to buy a few things that you can use when an unexpected gift need pops up.
Sure, your budget comes into play with gift-giving, but gifts are about much more than the cost. Gifts are a way to show people that you care about them. And you know that no price can be put on love. Instead of worrying about buying an expensive gift, focus on finding a gift that fits the receiver’s personality or a gift that reflects a special connection you have.
And choosing the right gift is something you can do without fighting the crowds!

Now you can get ready to relax and enjoy the holiday season.
As of late I’ve found physical attraction is no longer enough. I need genuine connection. I need to undress the layers of a soul…passion remains the fire, but now intimacy strikes the match, and friendship has become the fuel. – Beau Tapin
This is a letter that was written for Mental Health Day but just a couple days before on his blog you can see an interview about what is being learned about our tummies and the relationship between that and the rest of our body & brains.
I find this interesting and am thinking about checking more into this. Please comment below & tell me what you think.
I know some of my friend know how I feel about certain fonts & where they are used. So after seeing this you know I'm not the only one, but I'm still not trying to say it's totally normal, only that I'm not alone. ✌🏼😎👍🏼
In 1504, Wibrandis Rosenblatt was born in Säckingen, Germany. Over the next sixty years, she would marry and be widowed four times, inspiring one writer to describe her as the Reformationfrau — “the Bride of the Reformation.”

Equifax Data Breach: What you can do
You may have heard that Equifax, a consumer credit reporting agency, suffered a data breach that exposed roughly 40% of Americans’ personal information. We feel that, with the size of this breach, it is prudent to share some helpful tips...
This is music video is pretty funny.
Just thinking about Ouray Colorado. Here a few pictures to share...
I want to go back. There is a "Fellin Park" there. Its a family story. ✌
New Testament and The Torah are part of the same book. Nothing replaces anything. Jesus stated that he came to fulfill the law & not to replace it,
While in jail, we sang. Once the director of the prison entered our cell, furious. "I was told that you sing subversive songs here. Let me hear one," he commanded.
What's cooler than running all your favorite emulated games on a $10 computer? Putting that computer into an original NES controller, of course. Introducing: the Gamepad Zero.
I just put 2,400 vintage games (and an emulator to run them) into an NES cartridge for about 30 bucks. Computing power has finally become small (and inexpensive) enough to make such a project possible. What a wonderful time to be alive. :)
Almost two-thirds of American households reportedly aren’t prepared for a disaster.
Next year marks a full decade since the debut of Tim Ferriss's massive bestseller, The 4-Hour Workweek. If you haven't read it, you pretty much need to go download it now.

So funny story!
I'm in this place trying to pay for my good & services and the total comes to $7.87 after tax.
I start to hand the lady $23 & she tells me again that is comes to $7.87. I told her yeah I know. She says that's to much & doesn't want to take it like I'm trying to rip her off or something.
I hand her the $23 again and tell her to trust me.
She types $23 into her computer register & take my money. When my change came up as $15.13 she kind of goes "oh". She hands me a five & a ten spot. The computer spit out the coins for her. She didn't even have to count the change back. The coins went into the tip jar!
Still not being sure she knows why I gave her the $23 I ask, "Now do you get it?" No answer.
I put my bills in my wallet & walk. I wonder if a screen needs medical & wonder how long until these jobs go away. We have a whole generation of youths who want more money yet lack the skills and more importantly learn a skill or trade & the pride that goes with it.
What's progressive about robbing people of the pride of what they do & putting them into a place of master & servant to the gov't and the man?!?
