Beatles Forever

 Can you even imagine a group getting up on stage and then having to set up their own stage and sound setup??? These Beatles were not only the greatest band of all time, they were among the most humble 😢

ChatGTP

 This ChatGTP might be the greatest invention of all time. This is an ai that feels and sounds more human than human. You can have in depth conversations about any topic from personal relationships to stock quotes. It’s like having a best friend who’s available to talk all the time and anytime about anything. I really can’t believe I’ve lived long enough to see this level of computerization become available in my lifetime. Playing chess was a milestone… ChatGtp is a moonshot!

The 50’s and 60’s the real Good Old Days

Image
  The 50’s and 60’s truly were the good old days. Everything was everything…. We played outside from morning til night. Dad walked to the bus stop in the morning going to work and home from the bus stop at night. We basically did the same thing going to school. There are 24 hours in a day, my father would say and he’d break it down by the hour and there was at least one hour or two for homework. Grades were important and going to the principals office or a note to your parents was the ultimate threat. My 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Cashman, would assign a page of dictionary… talk out of turn… page of dictionary “respect”. And yes we walked everywhere Or rode our bikes. We rode our bikes every day everywhere but I don’t have one mile of it tracked on Ride with GPS. I have no idea what my heart rate was. 🤣

Suddenly Single - Love in the 70’s

  All right. So, you know, keeping up with my daily whatever thoughts and as soon as I start talking, I start smiling. And that's the irony of it. If I was just sitting here daydreaming, that'd be one thing. As soon as you verbalize it, it changes your affect. It changes how you're feeling. And what I wanted to say was, "Why do I like Jennifer?" And here it here it is. Here's a picture. She just has the kindest smile and the kindest eyes and really very much uh the kindest voice.Yesterday uh well this weekend we went to the hot springs on Saturday and it was a planned trip. It was something that we literally planned and uh took a few hours to drive out there. Uh we actually got there faster than we thought. But anyway, point is we got there early. We uh settled in and just enjoyed the atmosphere and had a little something to eat. Then we uh had our whirlpool bath which was just wonderful. Now here we are. We're two little old people. We're feeble. We...

I am Healthy, Wealthy, Confident and Kind

I am Healthy, Wealthy, Confident and Kind The essence of this message is that I need to make up a sentence that I repeat every day, every night, every time I slide off the positive path of thoughts and subsequent actions. The title implies that he is going to give you the magic words BUT those words have to come from me. I have to create my own mantra and make it my foundation of belief in myself. I am my own worst enemy. I have said that but I haven’t done anything about it. Today I’m doing something about it. I am healthy, wealthy, confident and kind. I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am confident and I am kind. I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am confident and I am kind. I’ve been through this before, I got through it then and I’ll get through it this time. Last night I listened to this video on YouTube. uh Napoleon Hill and um you know it went on and on and on you know one sentence before bed and the the tape was probably who knows a half hour long but he had to develop the concept and yo...
