My android phone has started sending me a report with my top 3 apps every week. I don't use my cell for work so #1 is Kindle.?ÿ

I enjoy Match Triple 3D and Match Pair 3D (given a pile of objects find 2 or 3 of all objects within a time limit) but there are a lot of ads. Hue (and I love Hue Too) which is a gradient of colors in a tile pattern. You get to see the pattern, then most of the pattern is scrambled except for a few 'anchor' pieces. Block Puzzle Games (fit pieces onto a board) and I have a solitaire app. Crunch Time, Wordscape and a Sudoku puzzle are some others.

Along these lines...?ÿ my dad is a boomer and he has this view that if you can work then you should probably be working.?ÿ I tried explaining the idea of a person's free time having actual monetary value.?ÿ Like if I make $30 an hour then at some point during a work week my free time becomes worth $35, $40, $45, $50 however much per hour, and at that point I should stop working and use my free time because I'm losing money.?ÿ He could not wrap his head around this idea.?ÿ He'd be like no, you work and then you retire and THEN you use your free time.

I worked with another old guy where we'd get 8 hours of PTO for holidays but we weren't required to use it on the holiday.?ÿ So I'd take the holiday as an unpaid day off and then use that PTO to take a day off some other time.?ÿ This old guy could not wrap his head around the idea of taking an unpaid day off either.

I explained this notion to my brother and he totally agreed with me, and we both laugh at these old farts that work almost to the grave.

Anyway, wasted time = quality time!

Pride.?ÿ It comes down to one's definition of pride.

If what makes you proud is to show others how you can go frollocking as you desire, while they go to work, then you must understand that they view you as foolish and not someone to respect.?ÿ If what makes you proud is to show others your accomplishments in ways they admire, then you must understand you may be held up as a virtuous person worthy of their respect.

Two opposites.

@bstrand?ÿ

If you love what you do; you'll never work a day in your life!

I enjoy a game of Pong, on my television set, every once in a while...

Pride of what? We retired old farts are part of the "disposable" community. Everyone wishes we were dead so they can inherit whatever assets amassed during the time we did work. And usually those assets are substantially larger than the "inheritors" could even dream of accumulating. That in turn causes us to implement the ƒ??I donƒ??t give a F***ƒ? attitude you youngsters interpret as old fart grouchy syndrome. Or the ƒ??keep off my grassƒ? moniker. So when sweating your gonads off cutting line, digging the truck out of the mud, or finding a ƒ??section cornerƒ??ÿ with 7 ipƒ??s surrounding it just remember I will be lounging by the pool wasting time with ƒ??Candy Crushƒ?. ?????ÿ

I love to learn.?ÿ Anything from soup to nuts, as they say.?ÿ Most of what I learn is not essential to my day to day life, but, it makes me feel good.?ÿ When you stop learning, you start to die.

When I open this computer, the first thing I see filling my screen is some photo from somewhere around the world.?ÿ It might be a roadside view in Iceland or 27 adjacent waterfalls in Brazil.?ÿ Many times that has led me to learn more about that locale. A timewaster to be sure but fun.

I've seen too many family's, broken by greedy inheritors, fighting over who gets what. It's heart breaking...

My kids, on the other hand, will be fighting over who has to pay off my debt; I plan on having my credit maxed out and all of my money spent, by the time I croak.
