Adult Coloring pages: Seasonal: Winter/Christmas

Image
Here is one I colored! Last night, I decided to try my hand at coloring a page...and above is the result. Not bad!  It was fun I will admit, and it sure whiled away some time. There is a method to my madness...last week I was told I have Fibromyalgia. This diagnosis explains so much : the random sore spots around my torso; the muddled thoughts and short term memory loss at times; headaches; general feelings of not feeling well with no specific point; all the things that would not "fit" into the other diseases/syndromes I have.  Since my breakdown in 2001, I had noticed that I was having some issues with trying to remember things  (clearly) , dealing with continual random thoughts more than usual...it's drove me crazy.  Now, I have been trying to re-strengthen my mind...and get my mind to slow down...while keeping my body as agile as I can despite my own age and physical abilities. I've been doing various things...word search puzzles,  now coloring, r

Murphy's Lesser-Known Dictums (Humor)

Image
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. He who laughs last, thinks slowest. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong. The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who got there first. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well. When you go into court, you are putting yourself In the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. Have a great day folks!

Bear Alert (Humor)

Image
I used this photo from the web because the bear looks like it's laughing! In light of the rising frequency of human - grizzly bear conflicts, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert of bears while in the field.  They  advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them.  They also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.  It is also a  good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear dung. Black bear dung is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear dung has little bells in it and smells like pepper. :) Have a great day and share a smile! Deb

IDIOT SIGHTING (Humor with a bit of truth!)

Image
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c. S he said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.' She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.' The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the people at MacD's. IDIOT SIGHTING. We had to have the garage door repaired. The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four

UPDATE: Missing Person: Sabrina Leavens

Image
I'd like to let everyone know that Sabrina Leavens has been found alive and well. I know little else other than she said on her FB page that she just needed some time to herself. Thank you all!  I normally don't do this but I have known this young lady a long time and she's a long time friend to my son, Shawn (Campbell). She is a wife and mother... Please share far and wide...she's been missing for too long.  Thank you!

Murphy's Technology Laws (Humor and maybe some truth!)

Image
You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the track. Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence. Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition. Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand. If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. The opulence of the front office decor varies inversely with the fundamental solvency of the firm. The attention span of a computer is only as long as it electrical cord. An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure. All great discoveries are made by mista
