2023 End of the Year Questions

1. If someone else were to write a book about your year, how would it go?
It would be a comedic tragedy with a great deal of chapters.

2. What surprised you about this year?
How cold an uncaring the super rich can be in their greed to grab up more money than they can ever need. There were record profits with a world of hyperinflation, they made it worse to get more out of us, no matter what the human cost was.

3. Did you do your best?
Yes, I had too, or I would not have made it.

4. What did you spend too much time or energy on?
Worry.

5. How did you engage in self-care?
Lot’s of music and holding Pusheen the cat.

6. What do you wish you had done this year?
Gone to the park way more times than I did.

7. What bad habit did you drop?
I’d like to say drinking booze, but that may never be the case. 10 years from now I might get drunk. I don’t think we quit, but just keep delaying relapse.

8. What was your greatest accomplishment?
Not having a total breakdown and ending up on the mental ward.

9. What disappointed you this year?
People. I saw just how much hate there is in our society. I saw just how far people are willing to go to harm others in the name of a so-called God. I saw how much greed they have. I saw how little they care about the suffering of others. I saw how destructive they can be.

10. What did you learn from a failure?
That, like most people now, I’ll probably never be out of debt.

11. What did you avoid?
No joke, losing my will to live. It would have been very easy to just give up on life this year.

12. Who were your major supporters this year?
My friends just like the past 11 years. They have been there since Mom died to hold me up and take care of me emotionally.

13. What did you handle well?
The stress. It was crushing and I got past it every time, because I had no choice other than to just give up, and that is not going to happen.

14. What did you not handle well?
Keeping my thoughts under control. I went dark way too many times for my own good.

15. What are you grateful for?
Friends.

16. What did you change your mind about?
Humanity. I thought we could be redeemed, but we can’t. We are a total loss.

17. What was the most fun you had this year?
Being with friends one day for coffee. It was just the perfect day and I enjoyed it deeply.

18. What three words sum up the theme of this year?
Man that sucked.

19. Did you improve anyone's life this year?
Yes, many people. I went out of my way to do that every day, no matter how bad I felt.

20. How are you different from when you started the year?
I think I’m a lot stronger emotionally. I still cry and feel crappy, but I handle it better now.

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
