AWOL From Facebook (Part One)



Just dropping by to leave you
a little note



to let you know that I'm going to be away from Facebook for the next several hours -- in fact, I'll barely be social at other social sites as well for awhile, as I have some serious paperwork that I need to be doing.

I DO plan to return for a little bit later this evening, though I won't stay very long, as I not only have the paperwork to do but other things, too.

As soon as I'm finished with Phase One of the paperwork, I'll Tweet something your way.

For now, however, you're just going to have to try to survive without me -- which I'm sure that you can do just fine & dandy.

Classic Christmas Contribution April 9, 2017


I've just joined a wonderful group over at Facebook called Olden days of Christmas, and they're looking for pictures, writings, discussion-starters, thoughts, etc. that represent viewing Christmas through nostalgic and sentimental eyes.

Anyway, I wanted to share a some videos of Christmas music that would fall into this category and decided to bundle up several of them in one well-decorated place, and this is it.

Not only will they be shared in our group, but I can also share a link to this blog-entry on my Facebook Timeline (and other places as well), and that will let lots of people know about the group as well as entertaining them with favorite Christmas songs.

At the time I'm writing this, it's only a few days until Easter, but I don't believe that Christmas can only be celebrated within a time frame that takes in the last part of November, all of December, and the first part of January.

Did you know that the Ronald McDonald House located at 435 Limestone Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202 always keeps at least a small portion of the place decorated for Christmas all year long?

This is the RMH where Anderson, Indiana's very own CanMan donates the pop-can tabs that he collects, counts, and organizes. 

At the time I'm writing this, Larry is getting close to collecting his 14,000,000th tab since he began doing this in 2003.

He also keeps a table-top Christmas tree up in his apartment year-round.

Anyway -- without further ado -- here is a list of Christmas songs that I believe you'll enjoy. 

When you come to the end of the list, keep on going, as I've really gone all out decorating this page with one of the decorations being a picture of my folks and me that was taken by Aunt Jenny back on Christmas Day 1962.

When I became a member of the group, it was the first thing I shared, and lots of people liked it.  I also wrote something about the picture, and I've copied and pasted what I wrote under the copy of the picture I put here. 




























Thanks For Watching

Here's what I wrote to go with this picture when I shared it there:
"Christmas 1962. I had just turned 10 on December 12, and my dad had just gotten out of the hospital after open-heart surgery and the complications of the same.
It was a really great time!
It wouldn't be until years later that I would learn how close my dad had come to dying from the same complications that took journalist, Lewis Grizzard -- and, even before that, how close the world had come to ending in a blitz of mushroom clouds..."

A-niume-ing I Go!!!



A few days ago, I learned about a new (to me) writing/art/social site that was called niume.

At the time that I'm writing about it here (the first day of spring in the year 2017), I've already finished and shared one entry and am now working on another one that should be finished before the day is over (a.s.a.p.).

Anyway, one thing I have is my very own referral link that will credit me if you click on it, get to the site, decide to join, and post your very first item.

Here's the link.  It won't make you do anything against your will, so please don't hesitate to click on it and get transported to this happening place...


When you get there, please look me up, as I write under Ainsley Jo Phillips.

What I plan to do is to write a regular column called "Peek-A-Boo!!!"

As I write in the time ahead, I'm going to share a total of thirty entries on this page (that is a link to and a synopsis of each one).

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this ongoing adventure...

 ******************************

1.
"Peek-A-Boo!!!" (3/17/2017)
Synopsis: This is the maiden voyage of my new column...

2.
"Peek-A-Boo!!!" (3/19-20/2017)
Synopsis: A slow-cooked edition that began coming together on the last day of winter and got finished on the first day of spring.  This contains, among other things, two dozen random and (hopefully) interesting facts about me.  Contains, among other things, lots of Oldies from that time when the British invaded the USA a whole lot more peacefully than they had a couple of centuries before...
