Thought for the day

I will not argue with you
About whether or not Trump is
A paranoid 
But may I remind you that
Just because I may be paranoid
Does not necessarily mean that
They aren't really out to get me?

 

Fascinating results

I did not post it on Facebook
But I took that long test you posted
And screenshot both your and my results
To compare them-
I didn't even get vigilance on my chart!
Largest was intellect at 88%.
Compare your anxiety level to mine-
That made me giggle: it was my lowest score
With friendliness next-
That we have in common ;)
I have decided mine looks like a butterfly-
I can live with that! :)
PS
A few more observations on further review:
When it says sensitive,does it mean
How sensitive you are to others (empathic),
How easily you are affected by others
(Touchiness, suceptibility),
Or how well you pick up on subtle nonverbal clues
(Intuitiveness).
Also, a list of traits that I did not see listed that should have been:
Persistence, tenacity
Curiosity
Adaptability
Consistency
Perceptiveness
Also, what is the difference between reasoning and
Intellect as a personality quality?

A letter from Debbie Gross

Dear Alex,
  I have ongoing prayers for Joseph, Marie, Michael, the ship and, well, all of us.  I am reminded to direct all to read Psalm 91. 
 Tonight, Fred directed me to send his reassurances to your sister and brother-in-law.  This came out of the blue.  He says he has it on good authority that the ship and instruments are truly topnotch.  And, it will function extremely well in tough circumstances.  You know Fred's messages are sometimes mystical (anointed).  I am just the messenger.  Jimmie is on the way back from Tech after a bomb of a meeting with his now totally ex-girlfriend.  I would like to request a few more prayers of healing for Him..from Marie , too.  Thanks and pray for peace, Debbie

Email from Michael

Beautiful day

The weather has been nice here today.
I hope you did not get any more rain.

This is what Gus thinks of you not getting your day off!
We tried to go for a walk today there was a 100+ lb German Shepherd to the left of us ( charging up to an invisible fence)
Tried to go the other way.. there was the 90+ lb Pointer Mix to the right of us (charging up to his invisible fence).
Honestly felt safer walking in the middle of the road!!
Puppy sniffed a fire hydrant-
I did not realize that said fire hydrant had just been painted and was still wet  (puppy is ok -I BELIEVE)
Got back on the sidewalk - broken beer bottle -
walked on grass on neighbor's lawn ; who said "Oh, you probably shouldn't let them walk on my lawn just put down fertilizer and it will burn their feet."
Picked puppy up- walk  officially OVER
Everyone is ok- I BELIEVE

                                          Here is some random cuteness, does that help?

Day at the beach

And it started raining on our way home
So we timed it just right!
