Wish or List

I was just updating my Blogger Profile.
There's a box to check. It says Wish List.

I click it and it takes me to a page
that's all about SHOPPING.

Now I have to make ... choices ... about shopping.

My wish is NOT SHOPPING.

As you can see .. it's only one item.

Shopping or not, I don't think that constitutes a list.

Posts

I've set up another blog at knewsreview.blogspot.com
and will be moving in there soon.

Nothing there at this moment but a big vacant lot.

But, now, I have all my blogs under one sign-in address.

Yaay. Just the right amount.

Stop in and say hello.

Calendars

We have a hard time using the fridge or any other stationery device
to host a calendar.

So, now in the last couple weeks we've been combining our information
on Google calendars.

I think we might have six or seven of them so far.

Just the right amount.

Skype

I had a chance to start skyping on a small scale in early March of '08.

I am not a power user - at least not yet.

So far I like it a lot. I've not used the video
but the voice and chat have been fun and useful.

You can be in touch at < your message doctor > ..
actually I think the address is yourmessagedoctor

Say hello.

Caring

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of
the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the
questions.
Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and
actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These
are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But
the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.


Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:


1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with
the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are
the ones that care.

Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
