Thoughts, we all have them. What is yours? |
What is on your mind? I love all type of topics and will talk about almost anything! So, what is happening with you lately? The Huntington Japanese Gardens, photo by Seabreeze |
Little Guy is my adorable but strong willed Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix. He loves me so much that it gets to be a problem for me. I love dogs and have had many in my lifetime of 79 years. But nothing compares to the attention this little fellow gives me. He is always at my feet, which can be dangerous for both of us. He gets stepped on and I may trip! The attention he gives me has been somewhat puzzling because he has not always been my dog. Little Guy came with my newly married husband. He was Fred's dog and even Fred's beloved wife who passed away several years ago. I could see that he might be associating me to the female he lost, but they were never really good friends. Well, at least I understand she didn't like him. Little Guy has issues. We think he is about 8 years old and seems to have joint issues. From X-rays taken at the vets, he has previous signs of injury. So, I try to take that in consideration when working with him. However, nothing about this little fellow stops him from playing. He loves to rough house a little, but you must be careful as he has sharp teeth. When he gets excited, he gets the zoomies. He will run around the house two or three time. He is always looking up at me, but what else can he do as he is so close to the floor. He weighs about 7 pounds, pear shape. He is a "kick" to watch. He has an attitude that I am trying to understand. He talks back. Seriously! If you tell him no, or try to correct a bad habit, he talks back with a screeching bark. He is very clever how he does it. He barks and backs up then moves forward and then backs up again. It is hard not to laugh at him. So, I have become such a fan of Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisper. I am trying my best to pickup on his dog and human psychology. Periodically, I will check in and let you know if I make progress. How about you? Do you watch Cesar? |
I was having some problems the other day and said to myself, self, get it together. I started thinking about all the things we have, keep, collect and thought we are strange creatures. The more I thought about it, my mind brought me back to a skit by George Carlin. If you have never seen Stuff by Carlin, you have not lived. I believe it is the funniest skit I have ever seen! https://youtu.be/MvgN5gCuLac?si=zn1WuRftHJBASe0R |
Got my computer back up and running. My husband's grandson, Jason, saved the day. However, Windows 10 did a few strange things when I loaded it. It wanted me to start logging on with a thumb print, or photo, or ...? I already had a password. I didn't want to do the others. I guess Microsoft knows best. But we got it so that all I do is do what I did before. I am a happy camper! |
I just ordered something from a Web site, susposedly a health item. But the disappointing part was that after I indicated what I wanted how the site was set-up to have me order more of the same or something else. Also, doing it on my phone, which I try not to, makes it even more difficult. I kept tapping the button as it didn't give me any indication that the first tap went through. Finally, it did and went on to the next item, and next item, and four or five more. All to confusing for me. Finally, getting to the price, I see I have ordered something I don't even know what it is. I finally had to call the people, who were nice put tried to sell me more. I insisted I only want the original order, no extras and please remove the other item. The assistant on the other end of the conversation was very nice, and agreed to remove the other item. He also told me what to expect on my money adjustment and on my shipping. I did get emails indicating that they would follow through and so that was reassuring. But, I sure wish they would not put in all the other items to confuse us when we are trying to order one thing. I was a poorly (or purposely) written Web page! I guess this is my beef of the day!! |
I find Writing.com amazing! I mean, not that it is a wonderful place to write and to read other's creations. But all the great things we can learn here to be even more creative. For instance, learning to set up a photo album, which I just did. Now that I have a premium account, I can do so. Before, well, could not do so. To think I can create various things, like photos, Gifs, videos...wonderful fun ahead. Also, my hat off to all those who help here at the site. I did not understand something and I got help for JACE (user:sybaritescribe), Senior Moderator in technical support. He clarified something for me, and there I was getting it done. Thanks again JACE! And then a member came along and give me some hits on creation in the area of GIFs! When I get that download business figured out, I will be in "heaven"! Seabreeze |
January 17, 2025 I upgraded my account here at Writing.com. I want to do more, especially using pictures. I am open to any help you guys want to share. One question I do have is how d0 you add gifs? Maybe I need to add top notch account to do that. Just let me know what you know...appreciate help on photos. Thanks, Seabreeze |
