Happy Thursday everyone!

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Heraclitus

Let's take some situations that we might deal with. The death of a loved one, starting a new job, or a first date. All of these situations people might experience more than once in their lives. However, even though they may be the same "situation," we won't experience them the same way. The death of a loved one. While the act of someone you loved dying is the same, the grief and how you handle the situation will be different than a previous death. As we go through life, we will run across familiar situations and familiar issues. How we handle them is up to us. Are we going to handle the situation better than the last time, or are we going to handle it worse. Let's all go into today, tackling issues with positivity and making sure we are putting our best foot forward in all that we do!

Here is a fun one for all of you today! This is Dust. A band that only released two albums in the 70's, and disbanded fairly quickly. Their bassist, Kenny Aaronson (might have heard of him), after the band ended, went on to be the bass player for many other singers and bands ( Joan Jett, Bob Dylan, Billy Squier, Mountain, Yardbirds, and many more)


I've never looked at it that way before Bailey, but it makes sense. Things are constantly changing, we change as well. Most of this comes from learning, past experiences or new, unexpected experiences.
 
My wife put up the tree and decorated the whole house the Monday after Halloween while I was at work. She doesn’t want me involved I guess.
I was originally going to post... " I just hand the balls to her and she hangs them"... but I know how your mind works and you'd freak out your patients if you laughed out loud.
 
That’s how I feel about trying to buy ram right now, haha. It’s jumped in price a good $150+ in the past month
Full Curl? 3/4 Curl??? Are we talking like a 180 Ram or just a 140 Ram? Or is it more of a 1500?
 
Good morning everyone, did anyone else experience this yesterday or was it just my phone?

Just you. I got a lot of Cloudfare errors either yesterday morning or the night before (can't recall, I think I slept since then?).
 
I was amazed when I went to a food lion near me and eggs were $2.19 for a dozen
Except Hickman's just sold, it sounds like, to a Brazilian company so expect eggs to go up soon... 🙄

I'm more along the lines of computer RAM... but.. I could be mistaken.
 
Morning y'all!
Have a great day today 😊
Peace ✌️

Good morning Joel.
May your day be filled with continued blessings

Food Lion...better check the expiration date..hahaha! Look up 60 Minutes featuring Food Lion back a few years. Some stores were taking expired Chicken off the line then soaking it in bleach then repackaged and put back up for sale. It has been years and my memory might be off but so was the Chicken in the segment.
