As I wasn't born until December 12, 1952, this was one place that I didn't go with them.<br /><br />However, The Three Bears did a lot of traveling when we were all together and visited every state in the continental USA, plus Hawaii. We also not only went into Canada and Mexico but traveled extensively and really got to know these countries.<br /><br />We had planned on, someday, going to Alaska together but never got around to it.<br /><br />I had thought that, one of these days, I would travel there myself and explore it.<br /><br />After reading this article by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jan.starks.56" target="_blank"><b>Jan Starks</b></a>, I think I'll put my travel plans on hold for awhile longer.<br /><br />Seriously, there is a problem in the 49th state that needs to be addressed, so please share this article.<br /><br /><br /></p><div id="fb-root"></div>

I began to write it on January 8 and finished writing it on January 31. The reason that it's showing that it was modified on September 18 is that I clicked on the save button by mistake when I had it open in Full-Screen Edit to copy an excerpt from it and updated it even though I never changed anything.<br /><br />Anyway, I've already made my first New Year's Resolution, and that is to keep doing what I began doing on New Year's Eve.<br /><br />Here's what I did:<br /><br />I turned my computer completely off and said that I wouldn't be turning it back on again until the first day of 2021 (likely, in the morning).<br /><br />Another thing I did was to turn off my overhead light (which has pretty much remained on for much of the time) and closed both doors out of my bedroom / home office (one leading to the bathroom and the other leading out into the rest of my apartment) to further cut down on light in my place beyond what it would take to keep from stumbling over something in total darkness.<br /><br />My purpose for this is mostly for health benefits -- and there are several of these:<br /><br />One biggie is to be able to <a href="https://www.sleepio.com/articles/sleep-aids/melatonin-and-sleep/" target="_blank"><b>produce Melatonin naturally</b></a> so that my body will get the most benefit from it. Even though what I'm doing doesn't go completely along with the natural time-to-sleep schedule that was in our body clocks before electricity became part of our lives and enabled us to work later at night, it's still an improvement over having constant light in the picture along with the temptation to be online at anytime 24/7.<br /><br />This completely-disorganized time for activity and sleep has been starting to take its toll on my health in various ways, so something needs to change. <br /><br />That pretty much sums things up there.<br /><br />The other biggie is that this will save me money on utilities, so it's all good.<br /><br />Even when I'm not actually asleep, I'm still in a relaxed position, and I can use this time to reflect on <a href="https://www.writing.com/main/books/entry_id/1000300" target="_blank"><b>my life</b></a> and the choices I want to make in 2021 to make it a high quality of life.<br /><br />Speaking of quality of life, I wrote something on that subject recently. It's actually a retelling of a story I read over fifty years ago. If you want to read it, <a href="https://www.writing.com/main/books/entry_id/1000784" target="_blank"><b>GO HERE</b></a>.<br /><br />Anyway, it's now almost three-thirty in the afternoon, and here's how things are:<br /><br />I actually turned on my computer and began to do online activity sometime after seven this morning beginning with updating the appearance of this blog to reflect that we were into a new month and a new year.<br /><br />Later, I turned my TV back on. It was tuned to The Twilight Zone marathon -- and that's where it still is. I haven't even looked at other channels such as The Weather Channel and CNN.<br /><br />Also, I haven't been back on Facebook and Twitter yet.<br /><br />I haven't even turned my overhead light back on yet and am typing this using natural light and the light from my bathroom now that the door is open again.<br /><br />My hiatus has lasted longer than I thought it would, and I'm loving it!!!<br /><br />Before long -- and I still don't know exactly when -- I'll be checking around to see what's been happening while I've been hibernating.<br /><br />At this time, I believe that my next time I go out to shop will be this Tuesday, and I'll be mostly continuing to relax on Monday along with catching up with making sure that the bills I pay online are getting paid.<br /><br />For now, I'm just enjoying the long holiday weekend.<br /><br />I'm going to close this blog-entry with a <a href="https://youtu.be/4GKNbmYOAow" target="_blank"><b>song</b></a> that describes the best way to live your life when it comes to new beginnings. This song doesn't mean to just sit around and wait for life to happen. It's simply a song of reassurance for no matter where life takes you.<br /><br />Happy 2021 to you and yours!!!<br /><br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.glitter-graphics.com"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/784/784118t32f1fp3dd.gif" width="400" /></a><br /><a href="https://www.glitter-graphics.com" target="_blank">glitter-graphics.com</a><br /></p>Ainsley_Jo_Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03211794586864539674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101665137771206898.post-69984061255631596962020-12-31T12:05:00.001-08:002020-12-31T12:06:49.580-08:00Adolf H.

Who Took Wonderful Care Of Uncle Kermit's Affairs<p> I can't say enough wonderful things about Uncle Kermit.<br /><br />Even though -- due to circumstances beyond our control -- we hadn't seen each other for several years, we still kept in touch by mail. He could write some of the most interesting letters.<br /><br />Anyway, I've shared quite a few memories of him over the years.<br /><br />I always called him Uncle Kermit or UK for short -- and called him Kermie-Wormie sometimes, too. <br /><br />His full name was Evan Kermit Jobe during his almost 93 years spent here after popping out of Grandma's birth canal on December 9, 1926.<br /><br />For starters, I want to give you a thumbnail sketch of Uncle Kermit so that people who might remember him can find out more about him. This sketch will be mostly about his education and teaching positions so that people who would be interested in those (e.g. students, co-workers) might be able to find him.<br /><br />But Uncle Kermit is far more than his teaching. I can / have / and will -- write volumes about him just because he lived such an awesome, fun, and caring life.<br /><br />He wanted to leave the world a better place than he found it.<br /><br />His field of study was Philosophy Of Science,<br /><br />Some people called him Evan. Others called him Kermit. His co-workers during the time when he was working at Kessler AFB usually called him Jobe.<br /><br />I know of at least one person named Marguerite who usually called him Cupcake when she wrote him letters. <br /><br />Professionally, he was Dr. Jobe after earning his PhD at the age of 46 (a latecomer due to working on his degree as he had the time to do so between everything else that he was doing), but he was one who would rather have his students call him Evan than the more formal Dr. Jobe.<br /><br />After he received his PhD, he taught at temporary positions (and got invited to stay on after each one, but he was looking for something in a climate where he could get out every day of the year).<br /><br />From 1973-1974, he was at Iowa State University in Ames.<br /><br />From 1974-1975 he was at University Of Michigan in Ann Arbor.<br /><br />He decided to take some time off after that and lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for a year. He sent out applications in hopes of finding a good fit for him when it came to a place to get tenured.<br /><br />He spent time walking around the area and enjoyed visiting with Mike The Tiger (a real tiger who was the school's mascot) who lived on the Louisiana State University campus.<br /><br />He ended up finding the perfect fit: Texas Tech University in Lubbock.<br /><br />This was where he stayed until time for him to retire -- at which time he moved to Bloomington, Indiana, a place he referred to as "The Center Of The Universe."<br /><br />He had gotten his Bachelor's Degree and his PhD at Indiana University and his Master's at the University Of Florida in Gainesville.<br /><br />After that, he taught for a year at the University of Tampa.<br /><br />Finally, he taught at the University of Kentucky in Lexington beginning in 1966 and spent summers back in Indiana working on his PhD. In 1969, he moved back to Indiana to begin working on his PhD full time.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.writing.com/main/books/entry_id/992196" target="_blank"><b>Here</b></a> is another part of my precious uncle.<br /><br />Below, find the shout-out to the law firm and more about Uncle Kermit...<br /><br /></p><div id="fb-root"></div>

By then, Jenny had already passed away.<br /><br />It was a bittersweet day for me, as I was celebrating my first time to vote since returning to Madison County and saying goodbye to a very special friend.<br /><br />Larry and I were both able to go to Jenny's visitation and service that was held on the following Monday (May 14), and he was able to ride with the minister to the cemetery (which I couldn't due to not being able to get up into his pick-up truck), and I was able to go to the condolence dinner.<br /><br />One of the songs (selected by Jenny when she was planning her service) that was playing while we filed past Jenny's casket for one last look at her was this one:<br /><br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="235" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yYHT-TF4KO4" width="420"></iframe><br /><br /><br />When I hear it these days, it takes me back to that day.<br /><br />For quite some time, there was a feeling of sadness when I would return home after running an errand and look at the outdoor sitting area that was now missing one lady on a scooter and her little dog (Bambi went to live in Kentucky).<br /><br />But life went on, and it became easier to look at that area -- which is how Jenny wanted it to be.<br /><br />Her family gave me some of her belongings that she wanted me to have, and they're decorating my apartment now.<br /><br />What I've written here is just the beginning of what I want to say about Jenny. Rest assured that I'll be writing more in the time to come...<br /><br /></span></span><br /><p></p>Ainsley_Jo_Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03211794586864539674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101665137771206898.post-36383138072887385372020-10-23T09:19:00.208-07:002020-10-23T11:10:16.988-07:00Presenting Tim Lambert An Historian's Historian <div><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.glitter-graphics.com"><img border="0" height="100" src="http://dl4.glitter-graphics.net/pub/83/83914j4yhtgj0k3.gif" width="100" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br />I met this amazing guy while looking up another Tim Lambert (someone who was a couple of grades ahead of me in high school) at<b> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook" target="_blank">Facebook</a></b>. <br /><br />Although he wasn't the Tim Lambert whom I was originally in search of, I decided that he was a keeper, so I sent him a friend request, and he accepted.<br /><br />Anyway -- as most people know -- I love to do shout-outs and decided that it was the ideal time to create one for Tim.<br /><br />As he recently had a birthday (on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_20" target="_blank"><b>October 20</b></a>), I told him that this would be a birthday present from me.<br /><br />I had actually planned on finishing this shout-out sooner but <a href="https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/05/06/other-plans/" target="_blank"><b>life</b></a> got in the way.<br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Anyway, today is Friday, October 23, 2020, and I created the Tweet below a little earlier today and am now making it part of this blog-entry.<br /><br /></span></span></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IfYouEnjoy?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IfYouEnjoy</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/History?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#History</a>/<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Trivia?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Trivia</a>,<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LearnMoreAbout?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LearnMoreAbout</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TimLambert?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TimLambert</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CheckOut?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CheckOut</a> his <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bio?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bio</a>:<a href="https://t.co/2gCRvnykQE">https://t.co/2gCRvnykQE</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Watch?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Watch</a> some of his <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Videos?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Videos</a>:<a href="https://t.co/asEpZ6KGq3">https://t.co/asEpZ6KGq3</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LookHimUp?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LookHimUp</a> on <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Facebook?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Facebook</a>:<a href="https://t.co/fPIh6LA10l">https://t.co/fPIh6LA10l</a><br /><br />&<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Visit?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Visit</a> his <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Loaded?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Loaded</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Website?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Website</a>:<a href="https://t.co/BqUa0TxHmv">https://t.co/BqUa0TxHmv</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HaveFun?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#HaveFun</a>!!! <a href="https://t.co/5sDzq7bhw5">pic.twitter.com/5sDzq7bhw5</a></span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">— WatchOut4CrazyPenLady!
