Computer Posture Is Important

Posture in anything is important. When operating your computer it is essential. The top frame is in proper posture. The bottom frame is not. When you do it right you can expect to have maximum productivity. If you are like the fellow laying down, then who knows what will happen.

Missing Stores Of The Past

For most of us from Gen-X and earlier these stores are iconic and a part of our childhood. I would bring them all back. I have fond memories of these retail establishments. My Missus worked for Toys R Us and my sister worked for K-Mart. Historically, shopping is a communal activity, and browsing the shelves can be fun. Online shopping is so convenient though. Also, streaming video has changed the way we consume entertainment. At some point I predict brick-and-mortar shops will make a comeback like many things have in the past.

Coffee and Winter Humor

I found this on Facebook and thought it funny. I have seen videos of people experimenting with water to see if it freezes in mid-air, so this has the same feeling. It has been icy and cold where I live, but we are thawing out a little. I hope you are staying warm and comfortable wherever this post finds you.

Finishing Strong On This Final Friday

It’s hard to believe it’s the final Friday of 2023. Time is a weird thing you know. Let’s finish the week, month and year strong, or something like that. The new year is close at hand my good people. Have a great day everyone.

Viral On Threads, Boring On WordPress?

A post from my Threads feed https://www.threads.net/@tonyburgess1969

I think I have been blogging consistently for 15 years or so. In that time I have never had any post get more than the number of likes I got on this post on the Threads platform which is run by the folks of Instagram/Meta. This post about celebrating Hanukkah has gotten 928 plus likes and 44 replies That is what I call a viral response.

No blog post on any of the blogging platforms I have used has even come close to that number. I even use tags on my blog posts to reach a wider audience. I am just wondering if I have become stale to my blogging audience? This is just something I am wondering about.

Thought Of The Day – Republicans, They Can’t Lead

Right now Republicans are incompetent and incapable of leadership as long as they bow down to Donald Trump and his base. They are not serious people who want to do what is best for the country. It’s frustrating to know that they are making America a horrible place to be in.

Both Democrats and Republicans have a responsibility to do government and governing. They almost put the United States in peril because they couldn’t pass a spending bill due to infighting. Putting people before a political party is vital.

Law and order should mean something here. Accountability is something Republicans used to believe in. Honoring the military with more than just lip service is important.

I do miss the Republicans of my childhood. Where did they go? I don’t mind some fiscal conservatism as long as it’s not harmful to those on the fringes.

Once again I’m going on record as saying that I hate Donald Trump for what he has done to good people in this country.
