well howdy campers....it's the last day of 2019!!!! exciting times here!!!! so my bg gave me some homework....well everything is homework cause i'm at home....ha ha.....anyway she wanted me to put some stuff up on instagram...........sure............well it only took me 2 days to change just the profile picture on my instagram page ..............i know alot of you are saying "it's not a 2 day job, it can be done in a couple minutes or less".....yes, i know this, it's just i have to go about things the hard way....similar to the way a kid heads home for dinner....
ya know the comic strip "the family circle?"....well it was basically a comic circle cause it was always in a circle not a strip....which is i guess how they got the phrase comic strip, cause it was a strip of comics....well not the family circle.......ok anyway.....sometimes the artist would make a comic about the route that the little boy would take when called home.........for those of you who haven't seen it, it goes something like this.....the mom calls the boy home for dinner, the boy is next door, the boy goes over the next door next door neighbors fence (which is the opposite direction of his house), then swings on their backyard swing for a bit, climbs up their tree, crosses over to another neighbors tree, climbs over their fence, crosses the street to pet a dog, kicks a can....etc....and finally gets homes.......so you see how i work.......i finally get to the point, but it might take me around the neighborhood to do it..... so the problem i was having, was i had to get a photo from my phone to put on instagram.....i'm not great at working from my phone, i usually work from my computer, but instagram doesn't let you do anything from your computer.......so now i have to figure out how to get my pictures from the computer to the phone.....but wait icloud is full on my phone.....not even sure how icloud works, but anyway......so i youtube instructions.....that's a verb now i guess, I youtubed something, i was youtubing, etc.....then i figured out that google photos has unlimited storage for free......i'm all about a bargain.........now i have to figure out how to get google photos (gp from now on) to work on my computer.......i think i have that figured out, but wait, i have 2 google accounts and my instagram is on the one i did not download or upload with gp's.....so i guess it doesn't connect, or i am not able at the moment to connect them....that would have taken another day and numerous youtube videos to figure out........now i have to figure out how to go to the other account......kinda figured that out.....now how do i download or upload my pictures to gp....kind of have that done...but wait i haven't done anything with my phone....arrrrrgggghhhhh........back to square one.......aaaahhhhh......i have so many accounts i can't keep up with them, you would not even believe the post-its that are everywhere now, and i'm thoroughly confused....ok deep breath..........so i have to get a photo from gp to the place on my phone that holds pics.....just remembered it's called a camera roll....anyway....back to youtube to figure out how to do that........finally get a picture sent to camera roll and wah lah....i have a new profile picture on instagram!!!!! .......piece of cake.......right.......ha ha.... my son, the computer wiz, could have done this whole process in less than 5 min.....and then called me home for dinner ........ ........have a super groovy new years eve everyone, and be safe out there!!!!!

good morning you groovy campers!!! another fabulous day! so lets talk about the big SD......yep that's right ...self discipline .....i realize that even though i tend to be a more "go with the flow" kind of person....or i'd like to believe i am...i am living in my own little crazy universe here....but, i really, and i mean really, could benefit from some self discipline....alot of you are saying...."really???, you??? who knew?" or it's more like " duh"...... so believe it or not, i grew up with parents who expected me to achieve something.....be productive every day.....i'm not sure they really knew who they were dealing with.....i'm guessing their intentions were said out loud....numerous times..........or maybe it wasn't said out loud at all......maybe it was a feeling that..... what??!..... i can read minds???!!!....or maybe it was it was just expressed daily in a lovely nagging way.... speaking of reading minds....some years back, a group of us went to baltimore's inner harbor.....groovy place, great aquarium,....anyway we went to hard rock cafe for dinner.....now this place was crammed with people, very loud....we were seated at this big round table.....we were looking at the menu when someone started talking in my left ear.....like they were right...well not right they were in the left ear...but i mean it was right there...i've just confused myself........ anyway, they were in my left ear talking...remember it was really loud in there....well not in my ear, but maybe i guess you could say that cause you are hearing it...squirrel......moving on.........i turned around to find out what they wanted and why they were so close..................and there was no one there.......freaky.......am i losing my mind? don't answer......so i turned back around to the table and it happened again, ...no one there...and again..no one there....and again....you get the picture.......so i ask everyone at my table are they hearing this too?...of course no one has heard anything and they are thinking i am crazy......well then i notice the people at the next table talking and i hear what the lady at the table is saying, it's like i'm reading her lips but hearing her too...very weird...........and i say out loud to my group "i can hear her talking"....the lady at the other table turns to see who is talking to her like i was doing..........i'm saying to the lady "i can hear you talking" and she keeps turning around.....which of course is now making me laugh.........i say to her " over here, look across to the table in front of you, it's me"...i'm waving at her...."i'm the one you hear, just like i can hear you".....well she didn't think it was such a fantastic thing and kind of poo-pooed me, but she kept talking to her friends only trying to hide her face......and i would say "i can still hear you"...ya know in that sing songy kinda way.........she did not appreciate that, they quickly left.....i loved it!!!..well not the fact that she got a little bent out of shape, but it was like hearing what someone was thinking, very freaky........and very groovy!!!..............eventually a couple was seated at that same table and when the guy was asking his date what he should order, well i helped him.....it was soooooo funny.........anyway as you guessed, i was seated at the inside of a domed ceiling and the other person that i could hear was at the opposite side, on the inside of the domed ceiling.....oh my gosh i could have stayed there all night, it was hillarious!!!! but back to matters at hand...yes, self discipline will make me more productive, and yes if i put my mind to it...ya know my mind reading mind!!!! .....i hopefully will get more stuff done....(my mom will so be thrilled that her nagging really did work)....i hopefully will be able to figure this whole business side of art out .....and hopefully before someone is waving at me across the room saying "i can hear what you are saying" and there's no dome ceiling........be groovy yall |
