Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Five

I love that idea. My dad was a pator, my mom still has his theology books around, I wonder if I can get any inspiration from some of 'em on how to create such a religion. Obviously it will have to include meditaion...

You do know that you might get a little resistance to that idea, don't you?

Doree calls it the "Church of Smoke and Mirrors."

What's a pator? Oh, is that the guy who leads the new religion? Kind of like the poop?

I guess I'm an equal opportunity offender!

Where's spell check when ya need it?

Where's spell check when ya need it?

Generally misspelling words and making life miserable, especially the autocorrect function on my cell phone!

And get a library card.

Most today have many ebooks that can be checked out. Even newer books, although you may have to put in a reservation for them.

I just deleted all my email. Not the accounts, just the contents of the main account. I had over 7500 messages in my inbox and of course I was never going to read all of them. I just decided that I would delete em all and hopefully deal with the account a little more often. I didn't set up a throwaway email account when I first got started and you all know that when you sign up for anything they want your email address. Not having a "junk" email account I always used my regular email, yeah, I know, that was stupid but, now my account gets overwhelmed by stuff. I wouldn't call it spam because it's from vendors I use and "follow" but, it's not important either. What I would like to do is set up a separate account for the important stuff and would if I could figure out how to get Gmail to forward what I want to that account and leave the other stuff in my old account. Any suggestions on how to fix this at this late date.

Only cause you done beat it into submission. I'm not saying spell checkers can't spell, they just don't know anything about context. And God help ya if you accidentally tell it some misspelling is correct. No way to fix that. At least not on a cell phone that I've found.

Gmail does have a forwarding feature ... I don't remember the 'clicks' off the top of my head on how to set it up ... but it's there ... I use it.

And there's KenA!! How you doing Ken? I'm mostly playing catch up here these days, but noticed we hadn't seen you in awhile. Got any new 3-D projects going?

not really playing catchup... I don't think I've read anything on the back porch in about a month now.
Just been working and sleeping lately

[therussellv]

I know, huh? I think I should start my own religion too... maybe I'll base it off of Dungeons and Dragons or something... that's just as feasible, right?[emoji38]

Nice! I'll have to check out her tablet whenever I get a chance then! I know there are a bunch of streaming movies and series shows on there, but I haven't looked at books yet. I'm normally a paper-only kinda guy when it comes to reading... just something about the tactile feel of a book in your hand. Especially if it's leather-bound!

I still go to the library & check out books!

 

[Kenna]

Happy Birthday Gracie!

On a completely unrelated note I have a little rant to spill, inspired mainly by watching the memorial services for Antonin Scalia and Nancy Reagan.

Do NOT put me in a casket when I'm gone! If you choose to carry my remains around, do so only after I've been cremated. Caskets with handles are torture devices for those who carry them.

I believe that some religious practices do not permit cremation, so please just ignore my rant if you find it in conflict.

See, it was just a little rant, now over.

Yep!

 

[Kenna]

They're available for just about any format but, none are free. They don't show up in my Kindle Unlimited and I haven't gotten into the Kindle Free Library at all, don't even know how. Someone here was talking about it but I haven't found it yet. I shouldn't say free with the Kindle Unlimited, it's 10 bucks a month but, at the rate I read, it's a bargain.

Just go to Books & where it gives you price options on the left put in 0.00 - 1.99. Or what ever amount. I get emails with lists of books from Freebooksey & Bookbub. You can choose catagories when you sign up & get daily emails. Most are free, some cost a bit.

 

[Kenna]

No problem ... leather case for your tablet.

Love this! Want.

Well wake up & come play! I think everyone is so over winter & cabin fever has taken over.

On a positive note:

WE HAVE BLUEBONNETS!!!!!

These rains are gonna have fantastic results! The next 3 weeks should be gorgeous in Texas! Fields of the most beautiful shade of blue...sigh....
