November Welcome
Hello!
This month the holiday season kicks off. This can be a difficult time for some of our singles. Remember, you are not alone, even if you do live alone.

WHERE ARE OUR MANNERS?!
The world has changed so much in recent years with the electronic age that some of us have changed our manners. I hadn't thought about this until I read the following article; and I'm sure guilty of some of the things listed. What about you?

Know The Difference?
Subject:- Guts or Balls
We've all heard about people having guts or balls.
But do you really know the difference between them?
In an effort to keep you informed,
the definition for each is listed below...
GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys,
being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask:
"Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"
BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys,
smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar,
slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say:
"You're next."
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions.
Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome,
since both ultimately result in death.

Giving Back to Your Community
My neighbor just came by to pick up my donation to the Food Bank and I started thinking, what do others do to give back to their community? A man in the neighborhood started the One Can a Week program last January and it is rousing success. This is an urban neighborhood where many people are on fixed incomes or college students or other younger folks who are just starting out.
This program actually got mentioned in an article in the New York Times a few months ago. It was about how volunteerism is still alive in some areas.
In this season of giving, shouldn't every season be one, what do you do to give back to your community?

WORTH READING AGAIN!
This has been around numerous times in the past, but every time I receive it I enjoy reading it again.
If you also do, read on... if you don't please delete!
This is a wonderful piece by Michael Gartner, editor of newspapers large and small and president of NBC News. In 1997, he won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing. It is well worth reading, and a few good chuckles are guaranteed. Here goes...

POLITICALLY CORRECT vs APOLOGIZING
How do you define the difference? I am writing this because this morning I see where one person did something she felt in her heart she should do, but then felt the need to apologize for it. Another person stated her belief in a post, then comes back and apologizes for that in case she may have offended someone. Is this being politically correct? If I do something I know to be right or say something I truly believe, I assure you I will not apologize for it nor do I think anyone else should. I would like to hear from you. Tell me when you think one should apologize, or go back and make it all sugar and spice so as to not ruffle a feather.
Counting your blessings
It's hard to believe, but in a couple of weeks many of us will be celebrating Thanksgiving with family and/or friends.
The holiday season sometimes is a mixed bag for me for several reasons, but I always try to be philosophical and during solitary moments, reflect on my blessings.
Personally, I am tremendously thankful for being in good health, being employed and having a wonderful "support group" whose love and encouragement is truly a gift.
Please take a moment and share with us, if you will, what you are most thankful for not just during the holiday season, but each and every day of your life!

First Snow!
I woke up this morning to the first snow of the year. Yes, it arrived almost three weeks later than usual. We have 3-4 inches, and I'll get to see how my new car handles....wish me well!
That's the news from Alaska....happy Monday, everyone!

THE KILLER WHALES!
First it was the goose and the dog, now it's the killer whales and the penguin!
A Penguin is being pursued by several Killer Whales (only a little guy, hard to see him) who are circling him for the kill. People on a small boat are filming this.
