Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake

Han Solo:         “You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake. Well, this could be it, sweetheart.”
Princess Leia: “I take it back.”

I just realized this morning that my recent system upgrade has been arguing with my theme and not allowing comments. Please forgive the gaff. I’ve upgraded the theme, done some tweaking, and it appears that the blog is back in order.

And as a status upgrade, Eileen’s husband is out of surgery and doing well. Apparently he was walking around with a gallbladder so nasty that you wouldn’t have wanted to meet it alone in a dark alley. Hopeful thoughts go out to him and Eileen for Christmas at HOME rather than in the hospital.

May the Force be with us all, Share!

    • Well I’m glad you’re up and running again. I thought I was on THE LIST . . . you know the one that you stumble on and really want to get off, but not exactly sure how you got on in the first place and really not exactly sure how to get the heck off . . . yeah, that list.

      Isn’t a bad gall bladder something? Mom #2 had hers removed a few years ago, and we seriously thought she was going to die. The doctor said she had the worse gall bladder he had ever seen in over 25 years of removing them. It can really get you down.

    • Mom #1: Never fear, you are totally on this Santa’s “Nice” list.

      Was it the 2.8 upgrade you did or the 2.9? I hate to break it to you if you just did the 2.8, but I just did the upgrade to 2.9…

    • A. Beru

      I get your point but the latest version of 2.8 was only up there for a few blinks before they fixed all the issues with it and voila, 2.9….

    • I wondered what was going on. But figured it was just the new plan around here.

    • And I had all these lovely things I wanted to say, but couldn’t due to “Comments Closed.” Oh, well. Couldn’t have been too important if I can’t remember them. So glad you can hear me now!
