Distracting Myself

I play on Instagram now and then when I have nothing better to do. Most of the time it's when I am stuck in the apartment or I am laying in bed with the need to rest (dang Fibro and CFS).

When I get bored I get silly. This ends up on me posting a bunch of funny things on Facebook or doing what you see here - making faces at the camera.

Now and then I end up taking a lot of photos of my Pusheens all over the apartment (posing them). But mostly it's just a 50 year old man making faces at the camera like a 10 year old LOL.

You just can't give in and lay there and thing "God I'm about toast" - if you do you end up wanting to jump out the window or something. Chronic illness needs to be distracted. Social media and Instagram are a couple of the things I use the most.

For the most part I spend my down time watching vlogs on YouTube. In fact I just added some new faces to the list to watch. Sadly though, YouTube does not seem to be showing me everything in my feed. I now and then get something in the recommended panel that was from today and was not in the subscriptions box. Oh well, such is life.

I literally can't imagine how crazy I would have ended up if I did not have some way to distract myself while needing to just lay for for an hour or two many times a day. Then I start thinking of the people who settled this country and how they where locked into a small home with themselves or a small family for months on end in the winter. I can't imagine it.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
