Colonoscopy done for the next 5 years—only one polyp this time. The doctor is optimistic it will come back benign. Big thanks to the amazing staff at the TGH USF Surgery Center! 🙏 The best part? Being done and finally able to eat again! 🍽️ #Health #Colonoscopy #Grateful #Blessed
Throwback: A Hilarious Podcast Meme This meme first appeared on Twitter a few years ago, and it had me laughing non-stop. If you’ve ever listened to podcasts, you’ll appreciate the humor—it’s just too good to keep buried in the archives. The creative genius behind this meme is Jonathan Ogden, a talented Christian musician. His unique sense of humor shines in moments like this. If you’re curious about his work, check out his Twitter handle or explore his contact information.
Just finished watching. Not bad, seen worse. #TheWildRobot #Movies #Entertainment #Streaming
This week, I’ve been reflecting on an upcoming medical procedure scheduled for Monday—a routine colonoscopy. While the procedure itself isn’t bad, I truly dread the day before. Preparing for it is unpleasant, but I know it’s necessary for my health. Since I’m high-risk due to previously discovered benign polyps, I need to have one every 3 to 5 years. It’s an expense I’d rather avoid, but it’s essential for peace of mind.
The #Samsungevent has great Jazz music very relaxing.
I don’t remember the whole day of the Presidential Inauguration being televised all day. You would almost think this is National Trump day. I just want some Local or World News not Trump News minutely. I been watching old TV shows all day.
January 19, 1977 I remember this day vividly. It was a Wednesday, and I was there, playing in the snow for a bit. I also remember waking up from my afternoon nap (I was in elementary school at the time) and wondering, where did the snow go? It had melted by the afternoon. That’s the only time I recall snow being on the ground in Tampa, Florida. #Nostalgia #SnowInFlorida #1977
I noticed a couple of days ago that DSLreports.com stopped working. I thought maybe they were doing some maintenance or having a problem. After a couple of days of trying and doing a little research, and admittedly finding no firm answer, the consensus is that it is offline and has shut down permanently. It shut down unceremoniously and without warning. That site was a great resource for finding savings with your ISP and checking if you were the only one experiencing service problems.
In my ongoing effort to learn new things and make better use of the tools I’ve already paid for, I finally set up my own IFTTT triggers. This was made possible with help from ChatGPT—another reason I’m considering paying for ChatGPT. If everything works as planned, I’ll only have one more issue to tackle: figuring out why Blogger won’t import posts from Write.as. Posted on Blogger to Write.as and Micro.
Spent about 6 hours fixing a mistake. Luckily it was easy to recover from, but I hate that when it happens. It was extra work I didn’t want to do.
I read today that Paramount+ will not renew the new Frasier. I think that’s a good decision—it just wasn’t as good as the original Frasier, and the laugh track button was overused. #TV #Entertainment #Frasier #Streaming
TV Series Post Just watched the season finale of Star Wars Skeleton Crew. Loved it and the whole series can’t wait for the next season to start. How can they have a hit series and then have something like The Acolyte which was just awful and didn’t fit into the universe. #TV #StarWars #Disney
I don’t want to say this too loudly, but I’m enjoying using ChatGPT to help with my home server and website stuff. It’s helped personalize my Micro.blog site. I might end up paying for it to access more advanced features. Gemini, on the other hand, has regressed into junk. #Microblog #ChatGPT
I’ve been trying to become more self-sufficient with technology lately. I’ve recently started dabbling with setting up a Raspberry Pi and self-hosting different services. I began with Pi-Hole because I’m just tired of all the ads. While this hasn’t eliminated all of them, it’s removed about 80 percent, which is a big improvement. I’m also moving away from shared hosting (once my contract ends) because of the WordPress kerfuffle, the high pricing of my shared hosting, and WordPress nickel-and-diming for every little add-on.
Finally made an appointment with an OD to get a new eye glass prescription. The last 2 prescriptions I have had have been done by the techs and they were off to begin with. My Ophthalmologist for my glaucoma doesn’t want to mess with eye glass prescriptions any more. Going to try Neurolens. #glasses
My Television Habits Have Changed Drastically I was thinking the other day about how much television I used to watch. I used to sit down about a month before the new TV season began, just after Labor Day, and map out all the new shows—what nights they were on and when they were starting—so I could watch them. I would then make a note or create a makeshift calendar for when the TV shows I watched were returning and check out new shows.
I really love micro.blog and trying to get everything just the way I want it. I got the post cleaned up but trying to set outside things up to take advantage of it. I just wish I was more tech savvy.

Happy Birthday to my Mother! Many more to come. Enjoy your day at Disney World.

2025 has been a difficult year so far, particularly for California with the devastating wildfires. I really hope the LA area gets the fires under control and that more people don't lose their lives or property. Let's pray for a calmer remainder of the year. #2025 #CaliforniaWildfires #Faith #Prayer
