~A LITTLE HUMOR IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL~

image

Once upon a time, a mother made her son a wristband. On it was written: WWJD? This, of course stood for: “What Would Jesus Do?” She instructed her son to look at the wristband before making decisions on how to live his Christian life.

A week later she was shocked to see that her son had become friends with prostitutes, was hanging out with ‘sinners’ — even buying people another round of beers!

Worse still, he had walked into their church the previous Sunday and tore down the book store, overturned the tables and threw the cash register through the window, he then made a whip and chased the pastor out of the building, declaring he was turning God’s house into a den of thieves.

Most shocking was what happened when his mother went to picket the local abortion clinic. To her embarrassment, her son was also there, but he was standing with the women who just had an abortion, and yelled at the protesters: “You who are without sin, throw the first stone!”

The mother was very distressed, but fortunately she found a solution to this terrible problem. She made another wristband, this time it read: WWAPD? This, she explained to her son, stood for: “What Would A Pharisee Do?” She took the old WWJD? wristband and burned it.

Since her son has been wearing the new wristband, looking at it to help him make his decisions, he has become a dedicated tither, a public prayer warrior, an active condemner of ‘sinners,’ judges with wrath, and has a great reputation as a godly young man amongst other religious people.

Needless to say, the mother is very happy now. She only wishes Jesus would take notice and follow her son’s good example.

I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

Smile in spite of yourself, even if it hurts.

Today I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn’t find any new prospects to photograph.
I went to Old Navy, and on my way out the door, I looked up and saw these mannequins smiling. My first  thought was, “how funny.”  I then said if they can smile being stuck up there, then I’m sure I could smile and get unstuck from down here. 
It worked. ~°•○☆”smiles”☆○•°~

I had to smile in spite of myself.
I snapped a few shots then left the store with a sincerity of heart, and a fresh perspective on life.

Dog Humor

This cartoon is extremely funny to me because of its implication in regards to societie’s interaction online; moreover, some of our responses being impacted by who, or whom we may, or may not be interacting with.
Just a thought. ~°•○●☆laughs☆●○•°~

Wallflowers

image

Are so damn mean
They never listen just sit and scheme
I try to express what’s in my heart
Sarcastic glares with eyes unseen
When night comes and I’m fast asleep
They sneek in and peer inside my dreams
Awakened by their sinister stares
I scream…!
“What are you doing in my dreams?”
They run with grins back on their walls
Oh I tell you true their day will come I’ll
Wash them clean right off the halls
Wallflowers are so damn mean
or so it seems…

Atoms

Hi thanks for stopping by
I get lonesone in the sky
You took my picture that’s nice
I just wondered why
Would you like to be with me
Tonight we could light up this dark sky
I think you love me and I cant figure
Out the reason why
You must love every atom
In our universe that’s fly…

I need a (((hug)))

I have been standing here for many years
Never once received a ((hug))
It brings me to a puddle of tears
The cars stop at my solider arm
Ignoring truth they’re feeling fine
Does anyone see my broken heart
Just one big ((hug)) a fresh new start
Please…
I
Just
Need

Train your thoughts…

Change is good. I used to see a train coming.

Philatelist To Thespian

image

My sister was a thespian
Vacillating on the stage
She used to be a philatelist
Till she broke out in this rage
Meliorism a dream at glance
She continues of her praise
Penultimate her last dance
As she tore out another page
The crowd gathered around
Waiting for her colorful display
They were more then pleased
To know she traded in her collection
For her debut on the stage

Media library

image

I’m so distraught!!!
I can’t believe what has happened to my WordPress blog.

Over the last few weeks my site was sluggish and my media wasn’t loading completely, at times it wouldn’t load at all.
My best thinking (and my lack of knowledge) led me to believe that possibly it was the result of the large amount of  pictures stored in my WordPress media library.
My solution was to clean out my media library, and
“kill two birds with one stone.”
(For lack of a better term)

First I would dispose of the bulk from my wordpress media library, thus leaving more room for my new pictures.
Secondly my WordPress site would load quickly and easily ensuring it to be more user friendly. Right?
Wrong! Just gos to show how computer savy I am.

I deleted pictures for about an hour.
I probably deleted six or seven hundred photos.
I went to bed that night and when I awoke the next morning, I opened my WordPress blog, and I was utterly shocked!
All those photos I deleted the night before, they were also deleted off of my blogs. I stared at my computer screen in frozen in horror!
Who would believe that if you cleaned your library out that your photographs would also be ripped completely off your blog!
One would think that wordpress would have a pop-up saying,
“this deletion will also delete photos off of your blog,” or something to that affect.  My phone and computer warns me with a pop-up saying,
“are you sure you want to delete this picture?” How hard would that be for WordPress to do this? (Never mind)

My first rational thought was to find a solution,  easy right? I started surfing the web franticly for some kind of logical solution, but this was to no avail.
Next, I called my daughter Brandy,
for I had remembered she had taken a WordPress class last year.

She informed me that the only way to fix the problem was to open my dashboard, then pull my blogs into edit.  I would then have to re-add my backup pictures that were stored on my computer; I would also have to remember which photos go where?
Shouldn’t be to hard right? Considering  I only have to sort through ten or eleven thousand pictures stored on my T B 

There’s approximately two hundred and  fifty  blogs to pull. 
The next step would be to download a WordPress plug-in to avoid this horrible situation in the future. “Great.”
I was clueless in regards to the importance of this plugin.  I guess that’s the cost for not reading the fine print `~°•○☆~sob sob~☆○•°~÷♡ or the cost of not enrolling in a WordPress class at my neighborhood university. ÷(

I honestly feel like deleting my four hundred thirty blogs and starting over!
I’m not quite sure what I’ll do at this point for I’m too emotionally involved.
If anyone has any expertise on this process, maybe an easier way (?) [Crossing my fingers]++++++++
please feel free to share.
Sincerely,
Distraught-dawnasong

My Banana Is A Moon

image

Up in my sky is a banana moon
I saw it tonight a time after-noon
Numerous times I snapped a few
However my viewfinder
Displayed it true
My Banana is an annoying moon
Or maybe my moon is a banana?
How could I dance to
Such a terrible toon
I cried and threw a horrendous fit
My camera and I
We’ll definitely split
Can’t understand why
My camera likes
Bananas more then I
