Welcome to ChitChat!

Good Monday morning everyone and welcome to a brand new week. I hope it's more of a peaceful week, too. We need a break from all the negativity and now we are not only limiting device usage to an hour a day, but news to 15 minutes a day and not first thing in the morning. It is seriously for our mental health. We live in very trying and difficult times. Yesterday we ventured out to our favorite Italian bakery and were immersed in a protest of 400 people mourning the death of the woman shot by an ICE agent. They didn't seem to be mourning, but very, very angry. We didn't say a word, didn't know there was going to be a protest, and got our cannolis and left. After that, the decision was made to turn it off, turn it down, and focus on our lives and those who care about us. That's what's on my mind this Monday morning and knowing me, I'll stick with this. Have a great week ahead and listen to your inner self and what it needs.

Today is Monday ………………………………….………….. Good Morning, MJ 💕

Good Sunday morning everyone. Woke up to a few inches of snow on the ground and the pups are already in their sweaters. Last night the lady who lives diagonally from us had three of her little dogs get loose. It was starting to get dark and off I went to knock on her door. She doesn't speak English and thankfully I speak enough Spanish that she realized the dogs were loose. We rounded them up and she hugged me. Last night I dreamed I was teaching English again. I think because of my encounter with her. Anyway today is Sunday and relaxation. I did manage to stick to the hour a day on our devices, too! Have a sweet Sunday!

Trying to download patterns from my computer...No luck. Triedd everything. It prints copies beautifully , but not from the computer. Pulled out plugs, restarted but no luck. It once did print out a pattern, (very very slow) that i had tried to print days ago ...??? crazy. I did call for support but all I got was AI (a voice telling me what to do. ) No luck !! It's an HP printer and only about 2 years old. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks a bunch !

Good Afternoon


Leviticus 8: 18 -22


18 Then he presented the ram of the
burnt offering, and Aaron and
his sons laid their hands on
the head of the ram.


19 And Moses slaughtered it and
sprinkled the blood around on the altar.


20 When he had cut the ram into pieces,
Moses offered up the head and the
pieces and the suet in smoke.


21 After he had washed the entrails and
the legs with water, Moses offered up
the whole ram in smoke on the altar.
It was a burnt offering for a soothing
aroma; it was an offering by fire to the
Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.


22 Then he presented the second ram,
the ram of ordination, and Aaron and
his sons laid their hands on the head
of the ram.


Have a bless afternoon.

I get bored resting my eyes and amuse myself with Alexa's AI. The thing can actually hold a conversation. I said, "Alexa, I have a flip phone. I might get a smartphone, but it's smarter than I am." Response "Oh, please. A smartphone is not smarter than you. It's just better at pretending..." Another time I said, "Alexa, I'm autistic. Do you know what that means?" Response "(description of the diagnosis).. With your neurodivergent brain and my digital circuitry, we're going to be great friends." When you need a laugh, just ask Alexa!
