Almost Christmas Day - Woot

2 hours and 15 minutes and it's Christmas day. Since Mom died I have not been into it at all and felt very alone and sad for Christmas. This year however nothing is going to stop me from enjoying the hell out of it.

I have in full force the spirit of Christmas in my heart. No I don't mean the traditional celebration of Christ being born and all that, but the more generic family holiday filled with the love of friends and family.

Sure I don't have family and I won't be going to other peoples places, but I have been show how loved I am by my friends in real life as it where and online. I feel deeply happy for the holiday and will rejoice in the day.

It won't be super fancy, just me and some food I love in front of the TV. I have several movies lined up on Netflix to watch. Normally I'm all into the horror films on Christmas but this year it's a mixed bag to say the least.

I'll be filling up on ham, cabbage rolls, corn, old cheddar and 4 kinds of pickles. There will be leftover for a late night feed as well. I got into the ham today as well and it was good. There should be enough for at least 1 more meal boxing day. So 5 good feeds on it for $10 is not bad to me.

This is the first year in my entire life there is no candy, cookies, chocolates or other junk food in the place to munch on. Normally there are an assortment of candy, chocolates, nuts and chips that get munched on all day long. Not doing that this year by choice.

I was going to break down today and get chips but they jacked the price up by 50% for the holidays on the ones I wanted, so no thanks. As well I don't want another kind, just there ones. Perhaps on Friday when the new sales come out they will be back to $1 each like they used to be.

In any event I had good times with 2 groups of friends and a lot of back and forth with online friends who had lots of nice things to share.

I am however saddened at how many people are in a lot of physical and emotional pain right now. I wish I could make it better so they could enjoy the time like I'm doing, but I can't. So many of us forget that there are a great deal of people out there who suffer threw the holidays and don't enjoy them at all. So be extra thankful this year if your not one of them.

I've been in medium pain all week and it's not getting in my way - I won't let it. There are times I can push past the pain to enjoy life and times I need to just lay in bed a lot - this is the time where I can push past it thank God. For those who can't I offer up a positive thoughts of comfort in a vain hope that it will help (knowing it never does).

Merry Christmas and have a happy day.

    It still amazes me how an unseen hand, makes our paths cross out of all the millions of people on the blogesphere, it zeros in on a few that really make a difference in each others lives. Yes, a few of those friendships can go sour, but, it will boil down to a core of true, kindred spirits, that is the "awe" in the whole mix if things.

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.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

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.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
