Just for the record @extremebeautylv.bsky.social @sedahr.bsky.social I was joking - or should I say attempting to joke. It was a self-deprecating attempt to say that it was a poor Home Improvement Book when it was really a horror book about a skinless ghost in the floor & dead bodies in the attic

Warning attempt at humor
Tried taking a book that was about moving into your brother's house, only to find out his messy skinless ghost is living under the floorboards and your bored wife is luring random guys into the attic to help him grow a new body.
into a comment that say "Worst Home Improvement Book Every"
meaning the reader was an idiot reading a horror book thinking it was a home improvement book

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. We all read the same alphabet, just in different order of preference. Some go looking for mirrors, others for windows, and a few just want a heavy book to squash a spider. I just wanted a few tips to fix up the attic, I guess the skinless ghost was a bonus😝

Good morning Brenda and #breakfastCrew I was recently reminded of these words of wisdom from Chief Seattle I will share with you all in the picture below Have a great day everyone!

WHEN YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE; WHEN YOUR MISSION IS CLEAR AND YOU BURN WITH THE INNER FIRE OF UNBREAKABLE WILL; NO COLD CAN TOUCH YOUR HEART;
NO DELUGE CAN
DAMPEN YOUR
PURPOSE. YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALIVE.

By Chief Seattle

Gratitude for the wonderful additional information, Argent, and what I’m taking as a call to action to pluck this painting from a time gone bye and obtain a copy to hang in my home today Btw - these words from Chief Seattle in picture below were hanging near the Orca print. ✌️

You too. Great job on the setup. I always love it when I’m inspired to learn more. Thank you I’m a firm believer that once the mind has been expanded, it never goes back to its original dimensions It reminds me of this great painting (painting) we had at the Ski house we rented years ago

Ah, the wonderful complexity of the WHAT IS vs WHAT Ai WILL BE... make the Drake equation look simple (N=R*×fp×ne×fl×fi×fc×Lc) IF you subscribe to the "Singularity" future Kurzweil predicts, then all the near term "turbulence" are mere steps to the inexorable merger of biology and technology

Ep1 introduces us to morally complex characters in a setting of corporate bureaucracy & street-level survival. It lays the groundwork for how everyday tyranny functions: oppression isn’t just carried out at the top, but by power-hungry mid-level managers, complicit systems, & corrupt forces

They do not know where autism comes from; if they did there’d be solutions. For all they know, it could be microplastics etc. Any dr who blames you has questionable ethics Our hearts break for you. I hope you can be strong, to worry only about what you can control, and not what you can’t. 💙

Finally I left that “wild” Hanging Chad out there and no one was taking any action. I was starting to feel like a Floridian election official. And thank you for saying so. My telescoping kitty thanks you too, but the owl doesn’t give a hoot. I reward you with some wild, Oscar style😉

It was fantastic. Did you see the Netflix documentary on American high school Mariachi band competitions? The focus was on Texas I believe. It too was moving. www.netflix.com/title/81749914

n the world high school mariachi, musicians from South Texas reigns supreme. Under guidance of coach Abel Acuña, the Edinburg North High School team must turn shoestring and diverse inexperienced musicians into state champions.

Good morning Arlie. I hope your Friday eve is every bit as good. You really missed out. In my house it was a PBJ&F - peanut butter, jelly and fluff. Although mine were mostly just fluff😉 In fact, I found a spoonful of fluff could address sweet 🦷 cravings & help u avoid eating a box of Oreos😃

The gilded age author H.G. Wells in “The Sleeper Awakes” describes a future world where the populace is kept pacified and manipulated by controlled media and entertainment as well as "babble machines" that continuously spread state-sanctioned news. #booksky

H.G. Wells wrote about a society controlled by mass communication and public manipulationin his dystopian novel The Sleeper Awakes (originally published as When the Sleeper Wakes in 1899).

H.G. Wells and The Sleeper Awakes
* The Plot: A man falls into a deep trance-like sleep for 203 years and wakes up to find that compound interest on his wealth has made him the literal owner of most of the world.
* Media Control: In this futuristic London, the populace is kept pacified and manipulated by continuous news-spreading devices called "babble machines" that broadcast official propaganda alongside state-sanctioned entertainment.
