If your house catches on fire, do you have time to grab what you need? Do you know what you need? If not, you should create a “bug-out-bag” you can grab-and-go in case of emergency. #life #success

The reason a sale is sometimes called a “deal” is you have to lay your credit cards out on the table.

I’m surprised more people haven’t been shot in Texas for being called “dude”. Back in my day, it was an insult that meant “city-slicker”, an urban raincoat. #humor

Curse you autocorrect, and Perry the Platypus. The post should read: “A good deed doesn’t have to be massive to be life-changing.” Not “a good dead”. Autocorrect should be named “autoerroneous”. #autocorrect #failure

A good dead doesn’t have to be massive to be life changing. #life #success

Social media is the fourth wall of this century. We turn to it and try to say something clever. #socialmedia

It’s wintry here sans snow. If this is a preview, this winter will be brutal here in NETDE.

I guess I should eat today. I can’t eat yesterday because someone ate it first.

First scene of what I have writ. In case you were wondering. First draft, unedited. #writing #pulp

I’m writing. I’m trying to make sense of the stuff I’m producing. It will all come together once I create all the pieces to this puzzle. That doesn’t mean the resulting picture won’t have a missing piece or two, or even a piece from a different puzzle. #writing

These are on my bucket list.

I don’t understand people who tell you not to give up, but I keep jumping off the roof trying to fly.

If a company can afford to discount a product during the holidays, you know the non-discounted price is inflated the rest of the year.

The Gathering: Ghost, one of the kittens, ran out onto the somewhat semi-frozen pond. Luckily, the cat is small and light, and the water shallow from the drought. Still… #feral #cat

Banning books is banning thought. A thoughtless mind is compliant and easily swayed. #library #books #parents #failure

Do you have big plans to learn something new next year? What? I haven’t decided yet.

PSA: Library cards make great gifts for your kids who love books but have never gone to a library. And they are free—the cards, not the kids. #book #library #reading

Do any of you ever break the Fourth Wall in real life, by turning away from people and talking to a wall? If you want people to look at you strangely, you should give it a try.

Happy National Fritters Day

Good morning. Do you still send out physical holiday cards, regardless of which holiday? Time for the ceremonial coffee.

If you can’t provide help, provide hope. #life #success

“Technology makes things better.” Does technology make things better or just easier and faster? Is the point of progress technology? Does technology matter in the world of no free will? #life #philosophy

It’;t time to figure out what I want to accomplish in 2925. No sense in waiting until the last minute.
