WHAT'S IN A NAME








Hey, not every news story is top notch, k?  Sometimes news goes like this:  honoring a recently lost bet, "Zoo Atlanta welcomed Tom Brady, a Madagascar hissing cockroach, to its family."   ...I'd rather a park be named after me.  You too?    news

PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOD FORWARD

What can I say?  I freaking love the Met Gala!   If you have an ounce of creativity or curiosity, scroll through at the link, and tell me your favorite dress 'art!'   This is breaking news.   (Bonus:  Enjoyed that Courtney Love and Francis Bean went together.  A sign their constant fighting may be fake news.)      news

PUSH BUTTON

Butt dials never get old.   But never never butt dial the police, whilst preparing to commit a crime!   Or better yet do, as "a Bremerton, Washington woman did."   Gives the police a leg up.       story

I'm happy at the moment!  Yippee!  Hey the lead in this video reminds me of myself the occasional morning.  Can ya feel me?  Good stuff.  Thanks, Georgie-boy.



                                  


Principle in the type:  "It is one of the great ironies of our age that we are blessed with so much and yet we can be so unhappy.  The wonders of prosperity and technology overwhelm us and  shower us with security, entertainment, instant gratification, and convenience.  And yet all around us we see so much unhappiness. . . . Happiness doesn't come as a result of luck or accident.  It most certainly doesn't come from having all our our wishes come true.  Happiness doesn't come from external circumstances.  It comes from the inside---regardless of what is happening around us. "     Dieter F. Uchtdorf

GIRL POWER

International Women's Day.  I'm grateful for all the opportunities women Do have in the States.  And I'm grateful for good mothers; the hand that rocks the cradle.  Truly.   And in Italy, March 8th includes cake.  Every International Day is better with cake, no?    

Principle in the type:  "Never have women had greater influence than in today’s world.  Never have the doors of opportunity opened wider for them.  This is an inviting, exciting, challenging and demanding period of time for women.  It is a time rich in rewards if we keep our balance, learn the true values of life, and wisely determine priorities.”   Bella Smith Spafford

OMGolly!  Bob Harper a heart attack?  The Biggest Loser, Oprah, Sir Healthalot, Bob Harper?!   "He was working out in a NYC gym 2 weeks ago when he collapsed."   Luckily Harper is well on the mend.  Lessons.  If there is one thing we can expect in life, it's the unexpected.      news

Principle in the type:  "It is the knowledge that I'm going to die, that creates the focus, that I bring to being alive.  The urgency of accomplishment.  The need to express love, now, not later."   Neil deGrasse Tyson

Principle in the type:  "If we looked at mortality as the whole of existence, then pain, sorrow, failure, and short life would be calamity. But if we look upon life as an eternal thing stretching far into the premortal past and on into the eternal post-death future, then all happenings may be put in proper perspective."    Spencer W. Kimball

GEORGIE LOVE

Wham, and George Michael's music were straight up Pop magic.    Wake Me Up equals 80s personified.  This is for real how we looked and how we danced, all night in da'club.


George Michael once said, "I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really."   Kind of fascinating because, who can't relate?   article      




                                       
 


Principle in the type:  "Sometimes ... we find ourselves repeatedly struggling with the same difficulties.  As if we were climbing a tree-covered mountain, at times we don't see our progress until we get closer to the top and look back from the high ridges.  Don't be discouraged."   Neil L. Andersen
