I’ve read 68 books so far this year. Once I finish three more books I borrowed from the library I’ll be at 71 books. My goal was to read 75 books by the end of the year. I hope I can do it as I’m so close. It will be a bummer...

Jo Ann @aureategloom My son did not like to read until he had to read "The Hobbit" for school. He loved it and read lots of books after that. Read what is interesting to you. The time will fly by and you will have wonderful memories of reading.

I usually forget that payout is coming. I don't even notice the dollar signs. I just notice that I got paid when the total in the upper right drops. Oh yeah. I got paid! But this month I was aware that it was the 15th. I went off...

Jo Ann I lived in San Francisco for a few years but don't remember seeing a tornado. I got all shook up by earthquakes but no tornados.

Jo Ann No, I didn't get paid. I could buy you a couple of gumballs but my bank does not move as fast as I would like.

Jo Ann It goes on and on. So many lives shattered and a bleak Christmas just because this person was unhappy about something. Why?

The other night, I dreamed that I owned a lion. it was a big old African lion, an adult but not very old. It lived in our yard which was fenced in. I got the feeling that the neighbors did not like it. It made a funny noise that...

Jo Ann @Dreamerby Come visit me in a dream sometime. Maybe we can find the lion and we can both pet him. And we can go to a restaurant for something good to eat later.

Jo Ann @LindaOHio I think everybody wonders when they get older. My friend is happy in her marriage but wonders what her life would be if she married, HIM, the guy she almost married. Why is life so complicated?

Jo Ann It is usually quiet here but there are apartments across the road where there are always cops, medical vehicles, or police. It is pretty noisy over there. The neighbors here are nice for the most part.

Jo Ann @DaddyEvil Wow, tell Pretty that I also wanted a pony when I was little. I never got one but I lived anyway. I know how she felt. We can't always have what we want. She would get attached to the fur babies and have them taken away. I hope she had a pet...

Last night, I sat outside after dark. There was a lot of activity in the sky. Most were airplanes. We live near an airport so that is not surprising. I know what airplanes look like and sound like. Other lights were not easy to...

Jo Ann Sounds like a plan. No one really knows what is going on. Maybe it will all fade away for the new year which is imminentt.

Jo Ann Yes, exactly. You do get to know the usual sights and sounds so you recognize something unusual or weird.

Jo Ann I listened to a guy on YouTube this morning. According to him, the drones are sniffing around trying to find nuclear bombs that are missing from somewhere and headed for the USA. I hope that is just another theory. So, if it is true, yes they are ours. I don't...

Jo Ann I see a lot of airplanes around here. I also see helicopters going to accidents on the highways. I know what they look and sound like. I have seen big drones made by a kit flying over the park where I used to live. I wish them well and tell them not to drop...

Jo Ann @Deepizzaguy I am sorry to hear that. I remember one of those big storms, Katrina or the other one I can't remember the name. Someone who was displaced in Louisiana moved into our park. She was very sad because her sister was lost. Fortunately, I helped her...

Jo Ann I am so glad that you are working on your book. I hope it is as interesting as it sounds. Working with those little people and their families must be inspiring and amazing. I know there are some captivating stories there.

Jo Ann I have not trusted the government since the Warren Commission came out. It was an insult to our intelligence. That was the day I grew up and knew the government could not be entirely trusted.
