Duck, duck, whew!

Sorry I haven't written anything for awhile. Got SOOOO many things going, I just haven't gotten back. Will try harder to update things soon.Between helping an invalid friend & his wife, working with my broker to finalize some investments, advertising my books and answering movie-right questions, while doing a remodel for my handyman business and keeping wifey happy, I just get to feeling like I'm in a duck pond filled with quacking, fidgeting ducks. Needed a break so WA got hit. Gonna chang

Spring is in the air!

Three weeks away! Spring is in the air! We are in the 40's and 50's this week and better days are ahead!Yes, I like Spring. Do you? Winter is wearying, but Spring is refreshing! And pretty. And it smells good.This is the time to 'freshen up' in many areas of life, among which, is our Wealthy Affiliate ventures. If you have been dragging (like me), it's 'spring ahead time'! Write refreshing articles and look for new seasonal products to help people enjoy Spring.Put a smile in your style! Be a 'l

It's happy time again!

I got 2 of my 3 websites renewed for annual renewal. Had a bit of juggling to do being that I am in the US and payment is to Canada. Finally, got my bank and WA's accounts in agreement so I can continue this fun journey faithfully. (a little play on words, my site is faith-and-fun.com, get it?)I couldn't get the whole picture in the heading, and I wanted you to see the incongruity of the setting. Kind of like the challenge of WA - getting the 'beast' smiling with us, lol.I shared a post with yo

Smile awhile!

Smile awhile! Life is too short to be down. A few years ago, I learned that it takes 4 more muscles to frown than to smile. Stop working so hard. SMILE! It's less work and more fun.Try this exercise (it works!): Just start smiling at people. Don't say anything. Just smile. As you continue, watch, they will smile back. They may not be sure why, but they will.A smile planted gets an instant return. And it's fun watching people respond. For some it might be the first time today or in a long time,

Groundhog's day results

Have you heard the results? Allow me please, to bring you up to date.In Pennsylvania, at least, 6 more weeks of winter - he saw his shadow!I also heard a couple of interesting rejoinders:First, somewhere they checked on their favorite groundhog and found him dead. Does this mean no more winter - ever?Second, it was reported that a wolf saw that the groundhog saw his shadow, so he ate him!Just sayin'.Short, but FUN!Warren

Veterans - we owe them

I am a veteran. Many of you are also. We provided a service for our country and its people. Now we are older and no longer in that service, but we remember our experiences and value our contribution.Some, as the memorial stone above remembers, gave their lives for the safety and freedoms of today's populace. Whether for the United States of America, which I served for, or another country. We were willing to do what was necessary.There are others, our comrades, who didn't die, but lost limbs, or

Eagles return to iowa

In the late1970s eagles returned to nesting in Iowa. Prior to that, they were so dangerously low, that they were placed on the endangered species list. They have increased since then to allow new legislation to remove them in 2007.Their population for 2022 is 5,709 birds that cover 1,673 miles of river, lake and pond areas. It is not unusual to see them fishing these areas and cleaning up roadkill across the state. The Mississippi River and the Des Moines River had 78% of eagles, but the highes

New, not blue

This is a new year, not a blue year. I'm looking for new things to happen. Accompanying ideas to converge and monetizing my site in 2023. This is the new me, not the blue me. That is my claim and that is my "name", if you catch my drift. May take some pauses to re-vamp my causes but learning and burning with a yearning to win, shown by the set of my chin.The guy above is meditating while enjoying his environment. This is a wise way to increase awareness of procedures needed to be moved on - wor
