The Psalms
Prophetic words sacred and even secular allowing for learning the more important facets of simply living. Psalms are prayers and poems and even at times turned into songs. There are lessons to be learned by reading these poetic words if given a chance to really understand what they mean and figure out a way to work them into your daily living. Psalms are like pictures written in words of praise. Psalms are the way to accept who you are and show one what is important to live and accept who you are and what you are doing to help yourself.

Commenting
What makes a good commenter? For me a good commenter is a person who can see beyond the basic ideas of an article or even a book. Commenters can make suggestions on how a story, or an article could be used by the reader. Commenters are a written version of being a listener. We read others' words as listeners hear the other words. Being a commenter is like being a teacher at times in a way for maybe that is why I like commenting on all the articles that I get in my notifications. Commenting gives me a chance as mentioned earlier to learn and make suggestions on others' writings.

Waiting for a Call....
How many of you out there remember waiting on a certain phone call? Whether it be from a relative, friend, even a neighbor, or as I am today waiting for a call about an online teaching position? Waiting for this certain call when the other person sent an email stating the time and it is already past that time. I know the college that I hope to teach this course is in the Eastern time zone and I am now in the Central time zone, but I waited for the call at 8:30 AM my time which is 9:30 their time and even my 9:30 AM which is actually 10:30 AM their time. (Sorry for the time zone lesson).

The Failure of RPG Adaptations in Cinema: Why Hollywood Doesn’t Understand Role-Playing Games
For decades, Hollywood has attempted to adapt role-playing games (RPGs) into movies, often with disastrous results. Whether it’s the infamous Dungeons & Dragons (2000) or other lesser-known attempts, RPG films frequently fail to capture the essence of the games they are based on. But why does this happen? Why do movies inspired by RPGs rarely succeed critically or commercially? This article explores the key reasons behind this ongoing failure and examines what Hollywood could learn to improve future adaptations.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – A Spellbinding Adventure with a Playful Twist
Hollywood has had a troubled history with Dungeons & Dragons adaptations, with previous attempts failing to capture the magic of the legendary tabletop RPG. However, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023), directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, breaks the curse by delivering an entertaining blend of action, humor, and high fantasy. Balancing a lighthearted tone with thrilling adventure, the film manages to honor the spirit of D&D while remaining accessible to a broader audience.

Back Billing Farce - SMART?
nbIt was announced this week that utility (Gas and Electric mainly) debt is getting worse and worse by the day. Or is it? In the United Kingdom right now the 2 main SMART used by our utility suppliers are called SMET 1 & 2. The whole point of having SMART meters installed in your homes was to take away the need to provide meter readings yourself. For many people it’s the only way they can submit readings due to where they live, for example, if you live within say, 20 miles of an airport, getting a SMART meter to send correct reads is something of a trial and error.

Vocal Media Did Not Approve My Story
Okay, so I may have to go back and read the rules again. That was a fast not approved. No time to even read any of it. It reminded me of my daughter putting her fingers in her ears, and making loud noises when I would start to talk about sex. It was a part of my job. And she is a registered nurse.

What is your favorite?
It's that time again for the Girl Scouts of America to sell their cookies. I believe that we all have our favorites but actually like them all. My favorites are the Dosey dos (which were originally called Savannahs), Thin Mints and Tag-a-longs. The other ones that I like are Samoa's and Trefoils. Is it possible not to love these cookies?

A morning cup of coffee
Every morning or sometimes only a few days a week I make a small pot of coffee. The reason for this is because I like the smell of fresh perked coffee as well as the sound of the coffee pot while the coffee is brewing. Other days I have hot tea and if it is really warm something cold to drink like orange juice or even lemonade and maybe even iced tea.
