Happy BelatedNational Coffee Day

TWIT and I would like to wish you, faithful readers, a happy belated National Coffee Day.  Things were so busy and crazy at work, that I didn't even have time to get a cup of coffee on National Coffee Day.  I promise I will make it up for it t morrow.

Link Of The Week

We got our flu shots last week at work, just like we’ve done for every year that I can remember at Zoeller.  It’s an awesome perk of working there – we get our flu shots for free, and don’t have to worry with filing it with our insurance company.  All we do is just show up and get our shots.  But I digress.

The annual flu shots are a sobering reminder that we are on the doorstep of the flu season.  Stay informed this year, by visiting http://www.everydayhealth.com/flu/map/?xid=aol_rss. Just enter your zip code and you can find out info on the flu outbreak in your area. 

Security Tip Saturday

I belong to a Facebook group that is made up of people from my part of town (the good ole PRP area). This week, someone posted pictures of two guys panhandling in one of our shopping center parking lots.  Others chimed in, posting their pictures of these two guys, who evidently were asking for handouts all day long.  As you can imagine, this prompted a very lengthy discussion about how we work hard for our money and shouldn't have to deal with these two guys asking for money.  Someone finally posted a helpful post - she posted a phone number for LMPD (Louisville Metro Police Department) and urged people to call the next time they saw these guys or others panhandling in parking lots or elsewhere. 

The Security Tip is to take a few seconds and Google "non-emergency police department phone number" for the city you live in, and program the number in your cell phone.  The next time you see people panhandling, call the non-emergency number and let the police handle it. 

As always, be safe and secure. 

Flashback Friday

It's been a rough week for all things electronic and mechanical at The Compound.  First of all, the tiller crapped out a few days ago; something happened to the pulley and it keeps breaking belts. Yes, belts, as in plural.  Then this afternoon, the desktop computer decided that it would no longer recognize the mouse.  

I sure Dad is thinking back to the time when farm equipment was a heck of a lot easier to work on.  And I'm thinking back to the early days of computers when I could put the boot disk in and in a couple of minutes I would be up and running.  Today, not so much. 

Not Sure How To Categorize This

For the past few days, I've been mad about something, and have been wanting to pick a fight.  I was one step away from picking said fight tonight, when the person I wanted to fight stepped up and apologized about something.  I had to quickly back down, because honestly I was one step away from calling her out and cutting her out of my life.  

I thank the Lord for the way He moves in our lives.  That's about all I can say.  

Post Birthday Celebrations

It's the day after my sweet mother's 80th birthday, and we're still celebrating.  It's been an awesome, beautiful week to be on vacation, and I have a few more days left to celebrate, and that's what I intend to do.

Happy Birthday, Mom

TWIT would like to wish my sweet mother a very happy 80th birthday today.  And those of you that know her can vouch that she sure doesn't look or act like she's 80.  She goes more and does more than a lot of women half her age; once again, if you know her, you know that's the gospel truth.  

Happy birthday, Mom.
